Community Insight:
We think its an awesome game, the thing is the pacing kinda feels slow.
This game is well thought of and especially fun…really recommend and shout out to the developer.
Ever since Army of the Darkness Defense became incompatible with the current iOS we started looking for a new defense game to play during our lunch breaks and found this. Its fun, cute and best of all not pay to win. Our only complaint is there isnt enough of a story element to it. Keep up the great work.
We think you should add a bit more stuff like 1.more levels 2.more wepons 3.MULTIPLAYER it would be so fun if you could face off waves of monsters for huge rewards it would be an homer if you did that.
This is literally the best game we have ever played and we have played some really good games.
Best game that Ive played in awhile just wish you could unlock skins in the story mode.
Dream defense is a awesome game because you get to choose what weapon do you use in your strategy. You also get to upgrade your weapons. Its really fun to play and we think you should play it.
Great concept, smooth game play, plenty of power up drops. High tier defense game using an idea that many kids imagined was happening at night.
The game seemed a bit familiar but Yes get it ! Its fun and challenging ! Youll really enjoy it.
This game is well thought of and especially fun…really recommend and shout out to the developer.
This game is so much fun to play. We played it last year and always wanted to remember the name because it was so fun so we searched Teddy Defense and we scrolled down and there it was. So much fun thank you for the person who made this game.
This game is the best combination of cute and fun out there. Shoot enemies, gather new weapons, and challenge yourself to keep your little boy/girl safe from all the things that go bump in the night. 10/10 would throw ice cream cones at bad guys again.
Great defense game, the only thing we dislike is that you have to hold your finger on the target youre shooting at. Other then that, awesome game.
First day playing and havent gotten tired of it yet. Its a cute game for sure, and it doesnt feel like theyre pushing for us to buy anything with real money. That to us is a major plus.
Great game with tons of appeal.
Its a good game well thought out but that dream ore is the only hint you will be begging for.
Its smart, cute, and highly addictive! This defense game puts a clever twist on the genre, and it works brilliantly. Also, they dont throw ads in your face. This is not a pay to win game. You can buy stuff if you wanted to, though. You will not regret this game.
This game is super fun!! We love all the mechanics of the game and how smoothly it functions 10/10.
This game is so intense and fun! We love the artwork for this- its detailed and spooky but still super adorable. We do wish there was an easier way to earn the different skins for the bear. But we still love the game! We hope the best for the developers! Thanks for creating a great game! <3.
Not too many adds. A little expensive to purchase double coins for $10. Maybe 3.99.
When trying to get our old progress back it just stays on the stuck on the loading screen Iphone 11 using 5G internet. Gave it a good 15 minutes before we gave up.
Great game but whats going on with the new content. Theres been no new levels for decades now.
Decent game. But the people who made this game are obviously after your money.
You have to cover your target with your first meet to aim. This makes the game unplayable because you cant see if you are hitting the target or missing it.
Best phone game we've played in a long time.
Like it a lot it's fun and entertaining.
Decent gameplay, but everywhere you do ANYTHING they are trying to bleed you dry if money. You feel like you have to purchase $20 worth of iap just to upgrade at the speed it progresses, or replay each level 4 times :(. Adds adds adds. Holey crap they want you to watch adds to make things worth your time. Game worth $3 not $20, constant barrage of unwanted popups and adds, they should pay us to play this.
Love this game! Super fun. Challenging. Like the variety. Like the ability to upgrade defenses, weapons and power ups. Highly recommend.
Few too many adds ruin the flow but a fun and moderately strategic defense game. Kinda plants vs. Zombies light. Looks great.
Pretty good game, little bit of a money grab for iap but even buying nothing we're having a blast.
Great game fun gameplay amazing if you're into a strategy game. Bunches of weapons and we believe more are to come.
This is a really fun game. We think it's a cool idea. There is also a very nice art style. 5 stars, no brainer.
It's fun but the aim seems to be off on the shoes and some of the other monsters but it's still fun.
Dislike timers and refills that cost a ton.
Come on now it's a bear with guns lol need we say more.
Real fun game!! Super addicting always look forward to playing.
Can't even sleep. Cuz we keep playing this game.
Could use better weapon selection.
We really like this game. Easy to start and there's quite a few different weapons. We just wish the enemies were more varied and there were more levels. We blew through this game in a week and probably could've done it faster.
Fun game, first time we've played A mobile game and finished it.
Great Game! Not too much to complain about. Maybe some alternate bear costumes will put it to the edge. Great looks.
We dig it it's a bit repetitive. We like the graphics mostly. It's not really different from most related games. Pay to play type deal.
Pretty good so far no real complaints. We just wish they would fix the targeting when shooting. You can shoot in the direction of the enemy and never hit it. Other than that great game.
We really enjoy this game. We recommend it for anybody who is a fan of defense games. It is challenging and fun. However, we think that the rate at which you are given dream ore should be increased. We find ourselves watching ads to get double rewards and still receiving only gold coins. We have way too many gold coins compared to dream ore, especially considering how much dream ore you need to upgrade weapons to level 3.
We love this game but the energy part is just awful. Pay to play type game. We'd rather have bought the game for 10 dollars than this.
The gameplay is fun enough but on some of the enemies weapons won't hit them even though you tap directly on them. You have to find the exact pinpoint location in order to damage them so it gets pretty annoying pretty quickly.
The game doesn't even let u explore its main menu screen we gave up 4 levels in wen it kept only letting us go to the levels.
Awesome way to pass the time. Love the Rambo feel to the teddy bear.
Action-packed game, headed by the cutest teddy bear you'll ever see.
Best dream game ever if we could give it 6 stars we would buy.
