Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Ive played this alot and is very replayable. Ive progressed far beyond Lvl 5-10, but whenever we play the level, about 3/4 the way through the waves, the game closes. Ive had this issue for awhile. The game shuts down around wave 7-8 of 10.
Our game keeps freezing for some reason but good game.
Only thing is it keeps crashing on level 5.10.
This game is great! Very entertaining and fun. Im no problem though. In level 5.10 there is a glitch that will not let you finish the level and closes the game out entirely. Wish that was fixed because it is very frustrating.
Level 5.10 crashes every time near the end of the round. Very disappointing. Other than that it is a fun game so far.
Fun game but has a problem crashing, especially level 5.10.
Good game, but one bug Ive noticed: lvl 5.10 keeps crashing towards the end of the level, just shuts the entire game down.
The game is fun however there is a major bug on level 5.10. Once you reach stage 9 on that level the entire app shuts down and closes. We are unable to finish the level. Other level appear to be working still.
Its not letting us beat level 5.10 it crashes on stage 9.
The problem mentioned by others (game goes to menu screen around 9th wave on level 5.10) is still happening. Please come up with a patch to get this fixed. Thanks in advance. This game would be 5 stars once the issue is resolved.
To get the bomber the 10th level in the mission is bugged. Once you get to the final wave the game closes out.
This is actually a really good tower defense game, but if you plan to play for free, the amount of ads youre forced to sit through is atrocious! We dont mind ads for a free game, but this reminds us of a great quote from the movie ready player one, we can sell up to 80% of an individuals visual field before inducing seizures.
We only gave 3atars because one of the levels continues to kick us out of game. Good game other then that.
We really like this game and appreciate that its free but having ads at the end of every game is too much. We like watching ads for perks but thats two ads every game. Not worth the time.
Enjoyed playing the game at first, but level 5.10 glitched where it shut the game down just before we completed. Played it numerous times, different ways & same thing, every time. Wrote to their support several times, with no response, so we deleted app & reinstalled to see if it fixed issue.. Same thing & was not able to save any of the game progress. We will avoid spending money or downloading anything from this developer.
The game crashes on level 5.10 using iPad Pro. Game is broken but fun until that point.
The game is funbut now after we spent 8 dollars on itthe game keeps crashing again and again and again none stop.
The game completely SHUTS DOWN at level 5.10 as soon as the last wave is defeated. Ive tried 5-6 times and it happens every time. 4 stars once this issue is resolved.
Cant pass level 5.10 and apparently from previous reviews it is a known glitch that hasnt been fixed.
The game just quits at level 5.10 while playing.
How have the developers not fixed level 5.10 by now when it has clearly been glitching for years according the reviews? This is laziness. Its unconscionable to be still taking peoples money in this game without it working properly. It should be removed as an option from the App Store until the developers grace us with some basic competence.
We have had the app crash on us several times. On the league mode we had reached a survival time of over 2 hours and then it crashed. Nothing recorded nothing earned. Waste of time and money.
Dont even get into this game %%%% its crashes mid way thru.
It keeps crashing at level 5.10.
We would gladly give a 5 star review but as another review pointed out, they cant get past 5.10. The game shuts off. If they can fix the issue, the game would be a five star. Please fix.
Same as Joe, we have crash at same point every time level 5.1 several waves in. Its very fun in all other aspects. We watch closely for updates or fix for this issue.
Ive been really enjoying this game. It is actually playable if you dont spend much or anything at all really. The game keeps crashing on us on level 5.10 just after the 9th wave starts. Every time we get this far though it just shuts off and disappears. We would like to continue playing but am unable to at this point.
We enjoy this game really but every time we reach wave 9 we crash.
On iPhone 11 game quits every time (4-5 tries) on level 5.10, wave 9/10. Good game otherwise. Be nice if developer would fix this.
It started out fun and we made some small purchases to remove ads. But then the game kept crashing and deleted our purchases. Not worth it.
Love the game. Managed to beat all the levels without loosing any lives. Opened the game to see a new survival mode. Unrealistic challenges. Lucky to make it to the third wave. Makes the rest of the game look like childs play.
It's a tower defence game with restrictions. Immediately uninstalled for that garbage.im sure if you're cool with being forced to wait or pay you'll enjoy it but it's just another cash grab.
Needs more content but is fun right now as well.
Good. Free. Enjoyable with fun little artwork.
Its been a while since Ive seen a new tower defense game, and this one is a solid little bundle of fun.
We can spend days playing this.
Not many ads, hasn't asked us to pay money for anything. Good,simple game.
We've only put an hour or so into this game so far, but it looks like it has the bones of a fantastic game! Update: Still loving the game after several hours in. Though we DO wish that the game saved itself for a longer period of time. Often we'll be half way (or most of the way) through a level and have to pause it to do something else. We're not sure if the exact timeframe that allows you to put the app in the background before sending you back to the start menu, but it seems disappointingly short. Fixing this to allow the games to be "paused" for longer periods of time in the background would be great.
Free coins. Also great game. Get it.
Only on third map but having a good time.
Fun iOS version defense game. Don't have tonP2P.
Great tower defense game. No internet signal needed to run it.
Fun game to play on you're free time.
So far it's a quaint little game to help pass the time. Only just got the game so hopefully it maintains its entertaining component.
Great game fun and addicting we're writing this for a 200 coin reward.
Best game recommended to whom ever is reading.
Wonderful defense game we like the theme.
So fun and need tactic and strategy to win.
