Community Insight:
But as going forward, it was challenged our mind.
A tower with chain lightning, something like a wall that stalls enemies, a explosive tower, maybe a mushroom that sprays a toxic gas on the screen that slowly damages enemies, maybe a flower that charges up and burst out its petals, and a slingshot that lobs rocks in the air shoots slowly and has full map range, and you could add flying enemies.hope you can use one of these ideas:).
This is one of the better tower defense games we have played. Lots of towers and level variety and provides a challenge. Great game, thank you.
Machine gun ,sniper tower , heros : musrom king, moter and super moter , rocket launcher, ours and springtrap.
Keeps us occupied even when we have more important things to to.
Few levels are not possible without upgrading which costs money. The hint videos there but done work most of the time and sometimes don't match the updated boards.
The game flows perfectly. All levels are well balanced. Harder levels provide a tutorial after a number of failures to help you progress.
We like this game. Levels jus keep getting harder and harder.
The game is very fun to play. We wish there were more opportunities to get jewels for upgrades.
We got this good app and now we have been playing it for 2 hours get this game.
We would like to see how much damage each thing does and maybe a book with how much health everything has ect also we're confused as to how the scoring works :/ idk maybe we're over analyzing everything haha but it's almost to simple needs a little more content :).
Thanks for working out the kinks! Simple format and doesn't require spending money on gems to play.
We love playing this cute little app.
This game is awesome!!! Love the various scenes.
It's a great defense game with different ways to defeat your enemies.
This is a really fun game! Very addictive! An amazing feature is the in-game feedback. The developers regularly solicit feedback and make changes in response. Great work.
We like this game a lot! It's not the same old tower defense game. It's kept our attention and is challenging.
Fun addicting game. However the helping videos don't play most of the time.
Great game. Such a pity you need to buy diamonds (with real money) in order to progress.
Too many ads and when you purchase the ads are not turned off. Not all videos work. Otherwise love this game.
We've been playing this game for about a year. It's very addicting and we love all of the different types of levels. Our only issue with the game, is we're maxed out on all our items that we can enhance using vermarine. That means, we can never finish all four daily quests. This causes us to miss out on some really great pieces to add to our collection. The higher you get in the levels, it seems that unless you want to pay money for upgrades or to fill your energy tank be prepared to try a level 5 times just to watch the videos. Truthfully, on the videos where you use ? Items they don't do any good because you won't get the exact same things as they show in the video. We really do like how after 5 tries they give you videos to help pass the level. Some of them we couldn't figure out which item to use and which obstructions we needed to destroy first. Overall, it's a great game but it could really use better abilities to upgrade further in the game.
Addicting, Fun Wish they'd change some things up a little… Level 130 right now feels repetitive. Also energy/get gifts should be unlimited.
Once in awhile it glitches but we think every game does.
We love this game but we've been stuck on level 133 for weeks! We might just quit. It's not worth the stress. Is there a secret to this level.
It's a basic tower defense game with good graphics and some added mechanics. Easy to learn and fun to play! Update for newest version – exercise in frustration on many levels. The function to earn red gems by watching videos has either been removed or is non-functional since the update. This makes it impossible to make progress after a certain point because you have to have earned a pre determined number of stars to unlock more levels and without buying those red diamonds it is virtually impossible. Our advice as of right now…. Don't bother with it until that function is fixed or restored! Update: Okay, they fixed it… It's good again.
Our opinion of this game has changed greatly. It might be fun to play but the fact that it asks for your review so often makes it very annoying. We would recommend not getting this game and looking elsewhere. We are now deleting this game and we probably won't get any more games from this company. To the game maker it's obvious we're not the only person having this issue. You really should fix this bug.
Ok folks, honestly we're really loving this game! We were skeptical at first just because it's a little different than your typical TD. But we really enjoy how they've changed things around. The graphics are a little "kiddy" but other than that it is amazing! There is only one other TD game we have found on the App store that we play, and we don't even play that anymore, just this one. Your stamina takes awhile to recharge would be our only "complaint." But how the towers work, to how their upgraded, to the 100's of fun maps, this game is a lot of fun.
This is a really fun game! It's challenging, but not super challenging. It's very well thought out, and keeps you entertained.
We love this game.it has monsters and we love tower defense games.
Great game! We loved the troops and the gameplay of it keep up the good work.
We've been playing it since we downloaded it, and we've invited many friends of ours to play with too. One of the best distressing game to play with. :).
Great game love it. But with the update what happened to getting free diamonds.
We love this game so much. Usually we get bored with games but this one stays at the perfect level of challenging and fun for us.
We love this game like a far kid loves cake.
Our one critique is there should be some kind of hint or walk through so when someone is really into it they can get past a certain point we've been playing for a while and on some levels we have no idea how to get past silver and it's stopped us from progressing.
Love this game. It would be great if the number of pink diamonds would reduce when needed to move to the next level. Not stay at 48 when you only need 6 more to pass.
We love this game. It's a tower defense game with 100s of levels. We're up to 150ish level and we haven't spent anything so far. There is quite a bit of strategy on where to place the towers. Simple, yet lots of fun. Highly recommended if you like tower defense games. Oh, and the music and graphics are super cute, our wife refers to it as the "cute game".
Sweet game. Tons of levels. Videos after 5 losses on how to pass. Free.
One of our favorite tower defense games! Tons of levels, great graphics, and a variety of towers. Our only complaint is that a few levels are almost impossible to pass without using pink gems. We've been stuck on level 220 for close to a week and have tried every combination possible and even with pink gems don't see how to even get past the first few rounds.
We love tower defense games and this is one of our favorites. Play it all the time.
Fun game….just wish we would not get locked out after so many levels.
It was fun first. But recently they changed not be able to watch videos to earn free diamonds. And some levels are impossible to pass.
Love the game and levels. Great job.
A whole new twist on tower defense! Bright colorful graphics, unique enemies, hidden levels and cash prizes for certain hidden level events!!! If you like td style games then this one is for you.
Basic game play but very enjoyable. Difficult to upgrade towers but still very playable.
The game keeps asking us to write a "reivew" but hey, it's not a spelling game. Classic tower defense with cute design.
The referral process is very buggy and ineffective, but the game itself is incredible addictive.
We luv this app so much it is addicting. Usually we get bored with games easily. We just don't like waiting for energy.
Can't let it go. Spent hours and hours to play. We are starting to hate the addiction:).
This is how you do a tower defense game. It has its childish graphics but it knows what it wants to do and nails it to a tee.
