Itโ€™s back!

Got the game three years ago and had fun with it. But when my old phone died the game was lost to time. Now i can finish what i started. :) and itโ€˜s better than ever.

Cool robot tower defense thatโ€™s challenging

I had a blast playing the game and found it to be a great challenge. The robots were prey cool especially how you can add all sorts of wacky costumes.

Fun story too!

Well...

The robot is slow and basically you don't win. It's hard and boring. Although creative.

Not optimized

It says it is optimized for iphone 5. It is not. One star for lying and being outdated.

TERRIBLE

THE WORST GAME EVER

exploring

Easy enough! Not bad!

Great Game!

This game is fun, creative, and entertaining. The graphics are vibrant and stunning. Love this game!

FRAUD

Ignore the fake positive reviews done by the developer. This is a 1 star game. Just awful!!

Boring

What a terrible game, really boring, the gameplay is slow And the camera is annoying.

It stinks!

The looks are nice and the art but the gameplay is horrible!! First the game is sooo freaking hard! I could barley make it through the first level, and the second level is impossible! Second the controls stink! And third the camera controls are annoying as heck! I'm glad I got this for free but DO NOT BUY cuz it's not even worth it free!

Alright but hard

The first level can be a bit of a struggle for some but after a while it becomes way too hard

Interesting game.

The gameplay isn't bad and the characters are interesting enough, but the controls break the game. It's very tough to navigate the camera in the game, as well as moving the robots around. If it had a top-down view, I think this would make a really fun defense game.

No effort

It's a sign when you get bad reviews on a free game. I hope the dev's listen to the free advice.

Usually, the beginning levels (even on a hard game) give you at least a bit of a learning curve.

The second level lets you use only one robot (even though it says you can use two) and the one you can use has NO range. Increase the range of the robots and slow the enemies down.

Also, work on the in-game character-selection.

2 stars because I thought the concept was cool and my daughters love the robots fighting dinosaurs.

Half finished

This game has potential, it just looks like the developers went, look it works overall but forgot about several key things.

The controls and camera view are a joke. You can either zoom really far out, or awkwardly zoom in to only the middle of the arena. Tapping or dragging to move one robot somehow results in another one moving.

The bugs. Every stage I play I encounter a bug. Whether it be robots deciding not to attack, not to move, or not to go back for repairs, just making this game less playable

The slow paced nature of the game. Whilst the waves are okay, the power ups and coins are extremely slow to gain. For most of the items they are 1000 coins+. Given that you get 1 coin per monster killed, and then have to tap the coin it's too slow paced, taking hours to get even a single costume.

Overall I'd use this app in the future if improvements were made but atm, it's far too unplayable.

From what I

It's a charming little game. Quite polished graphics. You command and deploy tiny robots to defend the child from evil dreams and meanies. They are not fixed defenses though, you can move them in real time as you please and as the situation demands. You unlock several types of robots as well as enemies. Enemies you defeat go into a wall of trophies...literally! That was pretty funny. The camera is a little finnicky, but I am playing on an iPhone 4. My girlfriend played it on the iPad and it's way more manageable. And you can really see the game shine in the bigger screen. It's a sweet game that's worth a shot to try out. What can you lose? It's free! I would love some more costumes though, even though the gangster one I have them wearing is quite humorous. I'd love some military drab or some other funny ones.

Thanks!

Not that good

The graphics are good but everything else is bad, from the controls to the boring gameplay. Glad it was free.

Ruined

As stated on previous review, the control of this game is a joke. Font is too small on iphone, oh... and Game center achievement didn't work. Luckily I got this game when its free

Awesome

Brilliant take on the Castle Defense genre! The graphics are superb! The game has a great atmosphere that really ties in the gameplay.

Edit: they fixed the crashing!

Lame, tedious and boring

im usually forgiving on many games, especially if the graphics r this nice, but wind up robots isnt worth the try right now. 2 stars go simply for the great graphic and sound which r quite detailed, but gameplay really fails here. All robots, while having different functions, seem to be just as useless as the other and their attack method is all the same with just a few minor changes between them. The worst part tho is the controlling, its non existent. Having large groups of enemies spawn and start dashing towards the base is almost impossible to comfortably counter. Touch responsiveness is sluggish and often fails, and the screen is too cramped u end tapping the wrong thing. controlling a clumsy camera with all this action going on doesnt really help. Needs a lot of work!

DONT BUY. Terrible crashes before title screen
