Community Insight:
Before you say anything, this came out before Angry Birds, so if anything, AB is a rip off of this. This game is very fun, the levels are numerous and well designed, the other games offer their own interesting challenge, just a great classic mobile game.
Really enjoy this game. Its been on all our devices for years.
Relaxing game to take your mind off things.
Fun little game. Give it a try.
Challenging yet fun an exiting.
Who knew that throwing stones could be so fun.
Donut games are the best. This is fun and addictive.
Fun and challenging. Much like the addictive angry birds.
We've just started this game & while it is a fundamentally simple game, it isn't all that easy. We may feel differently a week from now but it seems to be an amusing little time killer.
Very fun, at least as fun as crush the castle, lots of levels, interface is good, different game modes are fun. Gets more difficult too.
No longer supported and unusable on iPhone 6 series.
This is a great game. One of our favorites. We love the fact you can go back and try to improve your score.
Head and boulders above the rest.
Castle smasher is very addictive!! Beware.
Awesome we love it we're adicting to this game.
Add a level edited/maker and the ability to share levels. Or make adding campaigns. You could also make new scenarios, different parts of the world, different gadgets to use.
Had this game since iphone 4 first day and still love it on 5.
A love like lol omg the towers are so easy ! You out there get it ! By arman hussain.
We could play this game all day long.
Fine blend of strategy and finesse.
Great game. Try target practice mode.
It very fun to play, can play for hours, and most Donut Games are that way,.
Mentally challenging. Great fun.
It's just a simple fun game . Our baby boy loves it.
Castle Smasher is our fave iPhone game of all time.
Great game, loads of fun and challenges! Goodbye angry birds.
Castle is a great game every one should play donut games they rock. We love luck coins too.
We love the geometry and physics of the game.
This is an awesome game. Please update and/or create new ones.
Love Donut Games physics based games! Great for filling in a couple of empty minutes or for hours at a time.
Not since Miracle Max sent the intrepid trio on their way in "The Princess Bride" has siege been so much fun.
Good time kill. Lots of levels.
It's a good way to pass the time.
Keeps us entertained on long road trips, well worth the 99 cents.
Simple but quite fun. Fun for kids and adults.
This game is meditative and fun.
Keep on bringing the levels! Playing it through all over again, again.
Love the game doughnut is awesome.
Donut games has a special talent for creating simple, arcade-style game, and most are 5-star worthy. This one is no exception, instant buy.
Love the game not as easy as you think.
Very addictive game…super fun.
Another great game from donut, possibly their best yet. Is that Lt. Worf saying "three stones added".
It's a lot of fun to play very challenging.
It is the coolest Apple game on the iPod.
Our kids love this game as do we.
Please make more games like it.
Love it! The non-silly, enjoyable, awesome version of Angry Birds that we can pull out of our pocket and get the "wow, cool dude" instead of the rolling of eyes.
Wish there were more levels! Fun game.
Very good game, keep you playing.
We're almost out of stuff to do…please update.
