THE FULL GAME UNLOCKS • All 25 waves + endless mode • A second battlefield — The Quarry, where terrain fights back. Golems terraform the ground as they march, ore pockets pay out gold when cracked, and a keystone wall splits the map — hold it or watch the shortcut open • Tower-smashing GOLEMS — armored bruisers that stop to wreck your towers • WARDENS that raise energy shields — burst them before they recharge • A deployable DWARF hero — a roaming gunner only the wasps can touch, who levels up to repair wrecked towers and mine ore for gold • Bosses and the final victory stand • The global online leaderboard — submit your score and claim your rank SIX TOWERS, EVERY ONE USEFUL Gunner, Cannon, Frost, Venom, Tesla, Sniper — each with upgrades and a role. Freeze a swarm, chain-zap a cluster, poison the tanks, or snipe through armor. There's no single right build.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Grid Defense at Free against Neverball's $0.99. Grid Defense also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 21 months). Neverball's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and chart position (#67 vs unranked). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
