What Makes Sketch Wars: Tower Defense Stand Out
Welcome to Sketch Wars!
A wacky tower defense game with crazy animations, enemies and look.
Test your strategy skills in a unique looking tower defense game.
Defend your kingdom from hand drawn sketched creatures arriving from an evil source.
They got to our lands and we need your help to stop them!
Build defense towers, use spells, use your strategy, unlock and upgrade new towers!
Push the enemies back and find out where are they coming from, then you could stop them! And thus be an amazing strategic genius!
Use your strategy skills and build your defenses.
Also You can now control manually you defense towers by clicking them (also see their effective range).
But be carful! Manual firing defense towers will not fire automatically so choose your battles

GAME FEATURES
• 20 levels that spreading on 5 different worlds. You must find your way and stop those enemies arriving from these lands. You start at the Jungle defending the small villages got attacked at first, then you find out how evil a land can really be… considering its sketch.. Using no colors…
• 12 Unique defense towers! Each of them can be upgraded 3 levels so honestly its more
Like 36!!!
defense towers are of 3 main types:
Archers
Heavies
"Gods"
Why the quote unquote Gods you might ask? Well you'l see
• 19 Enemy types! They are divided to 7 sub families of evil. You see they are pretty weirdish. You will need to pick your defense strategy wise to stop the advance once
• 8 Magic spell to help you stop the flood of enemies, If you upgrade them enough
They can be truly unstoppable tools of your strategy
• Manual fire mode for towers. You can select a defense tower by clicking it and manually fire with where ever you click
Well, We love you! Come play!
This Strategy game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
This was a really fun and at times challenging game. A Very original TD game. The creator definitely has a creative mind and sense of humor. The only bummer is that we finished all 20 levels… Wheres the next level? By the way, its totally worth paying for the add free option because you rack up point much faster. Plus creators like this deserve our support.
Game runs okay. Kept having small hiccups while playing – the screen would freeze every few seconds. Otherwise, game runs good and easy to play.
The design and story is playful and fun. The help/directions are easy to find and to understand. But: There is a really long lag between pressing the speed up button and the game actually changing speed. (flaw) You can't place or upgrade towers while the game is paused. (preference) The sketchiness of the graphics can make the game seem cluttered and visually confusing. However, there may not be any way to retain the playfulness and also clean up the visuals, so IDK. (preference?) Text definitely needs to be easier to readmore space between words? Less space between letters? (flaw).
Confusing and feels like a good idea that was rushed.
This is a 5 star game with a 1 star pay model. Yes its free but game progression doesnt reward you enough to upgrade anything. Youll quickly learn that watching videos pays out more than anything else here. The problem with this is that we will probably get bored of watching videos before finishing the game. Its a real shame! The App Store is STARVING for premium TD games and this could have easily premiered in the top 5. What a shame… P.s. The gameplay is awesome and the animations are classic! We love how the arrows stick in the opponents bodies and how the bodies pile up…so sad. :(.
