1. [R1] 5/5 · US This game is very fun and addicting: the Discord is very helpful. They are the reason I have even progressed and the game is very fun and once you figure out all the mechanics like the cards and damage, it gets very easy and fun fast
2. [R7] 5/5 · US Nevee deleting again 😁: I deleted this game because it was too addictive, and I regretted since. Now that I found it again, it’s not going anywhere 😮‍💨.
3. [R17] 5/5 · US Fun, Idle, Grind: Really scratches my itch. I have been loving this game!
4. [R23] 5/5 · US Great game: Countless hours of fun
5. [R2] 5/5 · US This game: This game is the most interesting and most grinding game I’ve ever played it doesn’t have random ads that pop up and the most grinding it not to good and not to bad it will probably get better the more updates it will get but only time will tell.
6. [R8] 5/5 · US The Tower: This is a great game for grinding. It takes a while to progress but it is very satisfying to kill the squares and beat your high score.
7. [R12] 5/5 · US Pretty Fun: I like the grind.
8. [R31] 5/5 · US Great idle game with the best community design for a mobile game: Every upgrade feels meaningful, and progression is all about long-term planning rather than spending. My favorite part, though, is the guild system. New players and day-one veterans can be in the same guild because everyone contributes through daily activity instead of raw account power. That creates a genuinely helpful community wh
9. [R27] 5/5 · US Worth it: Saw this on an IG ad a few times and finally decided to give it a try. It's really satisfying and fun grinding and leveling up because you build upon your tower, seeing the progress as you go through waves. Also, it's fun trying different combinations of attribute stacking. Sometimes I go full on DPS, sometimes I go heavy on defense and health regen. It's a great way to pass time and I l
10. [R30] 5/5 · US Easy: Easy to play and just a chill way to burn time while waiting for things to happen. I never fail to get sucked into the chill music and vibes this game produces. Needs more music tracks to keep the vibes building. Great game.
11. [R46] 5/5 · US No complaints: One of the best tower defense games I have played yet, with maybe the exception of balloons. Music is awesome, gameplay is awesome, the progression is a bit slow, but that’s fine, it’s a good game.
12. [R47] 2/5 · US Fudds is greedy, lots of micro transactions: This is a pay to win idle game. The catch up mechanic is pitiful. Some of the higher tier resources is extremely time blocked to a point where maxing things will take years which really incentivizes people to try and play. Things are quite costly, if you don’t believe try playing the game. Music is good, the concept is neat, but it’s the dev’s greed and
13. [R19] 5/5 · US Genuinely enjoying it: Idk its fun and the ads arent intrusive which is appreciated.
14. [R71] 5/5 · US Amazing game!: Under rated game, no ads at all! Super fun a little bit repetitive though.
15. [R74] 5/5 · US Good TD game but….: Pretty nice design however it takes a long time to progress . My favorite thing is No forced ads
16. [R3] 4/5 · US Best mobile game but L ads: I think this is a really good game with decent progression, and it isn’t too p2w. One thing that sucks tho is that every unity ad is broken and u won’t get rewards bc it gets stuck. I think making the stuff u can buy cheaper tho, bc almost $400 to get all the prenium pass is way too much for something that isn’t worth it
17. [R9] 1/5 · US Add: It’s a great game. It would get 5 stars if it weren’t for the ads. Get a different ad company. Your game is based on ads. Ads that go on for minutes, have small x’s so every time you hit in the wrong spot it opens the web browser, have x’s you can’t see so you have to hit all over the screen to find it. Yeah, they’re just phenomenal.
18. [R14] 4/5 · US Adds are bugged: The game is really fun and I love it but I can’t give five stars because sometimes when I watch an ad, it doesn’t let me close it and sometimes the ads are like seven minutes long and I have to wait like 20 minutes just to exit it
19. [R15] 3/5 · US Do NOT Watch Ads: I don’t normally write reviews for games, but the scam for how they run ads was enough to really set me off. The game is perfectly fine, pretty fun, standard tower defense game. But the ads are HORRIBLE. You sit through the whole 30 sec - 1 min ads for a reward of 5 measly gems… and then there’s NO button to close the ad. You’re just stuck sitting there looking at the link to the
20. [R5] 3/5 · US Game is Mediocre: I played for 4 days finally made it past the second boss. All of a sudden I couldn’t get beyond the first level and even though my stuff is upgraded the same it basically stayed me over with some random change in difficulty for no reason at all.
21. [R18] 5/5 · US Fun: Its very fun but the progression at the start is a little slow
22. [R44] 2/5 · US Fun but painstakingly slow: The game is a lot of fun, but is not a true idle TD game. Id rate it higher except for the fact that progression is so slow. If you want to get anywhere you’ll almost certainly have to buy ad free or bonus packs to increase the amount of coins you permanently make. But even then you’ll need to grind for hours (weeks) to get anywhere and then you’ll have to grind for
23. [R6] 1/5 · US A Perfect Tower, but trash and predatory: The purpose of this game is to prey on people. Even if you resist spending, the sunk cost of time spent could drive you to play much longer than it is enjoyable to play. It’s becomes a nonstop job, and one that you end up losing money to. Don’t start playing this game. It plays the long con, but it will get your wallet eventually
24. [R38] 2/5 · US The ads are almost a violation: The game itself is good, but the ads are borderline illegal. They force you to go to the store before allowing you to close the ad, and sometimes they even make you go to the store twice. I don't know if that's a bug or an intentional feature to make you angry enough to buy the no-ads pack, but the game's not worth enough, entertainment wise, to justify buying the a
25. [R35] 5/5 · US One of the best games for grinding: Love it… wish it could run without my phone on but it’s great if you want a puzzle you’ll never solve because every update the answer changes.
26. [R55] 1/5 · US Pay to win and destroys your phone: Ever played an Idle Game that throws ads in your face, demands you pay to keep up AND doesn't even let you IDLE your phone? Yep, that's this game.
27. [R90] 3/5 · US Should be playable offline: This is a great, fun, entertaining game that I enjoyed very much, although I deleted it because I prefer games that can be played offline and this seems like the type of game that should be playable without an internet connection. If the dev changes that then this is definitely a 5 star game!
28. [R171] 3/5 · US Ultra Grind: Would love it if a “good” farm run didn’t take 8 hours- Ain’t nobody got time for that. Progression is extremely slow and, coming from someone who enjoys grinding games, this one is way too much for what it is. In a single move, an idle play feature would absolutely skyrocket this game to actually being sustained fun. As of right now, have fun staring at shapes explode for hours on en
29. [R21] 1/5 · US Delete all my progress: Had a game I played when I was on a road trip or other boring activity. The new update dropped and all my progress is gone cause now I need an account.
30. [R105] 2/5 · US Purchases aren’t recorded: I paid for a few perks, simply because I enjoyed the game. My phone had problems, had to reinstall everything, was unable to get my perks back without purchasing them a second time. Feels crooked, so I moved on to something else.
31. [R247] 3/5 · GB Great game but needs improvement: I really enjoyed this game even went to purchase the no ads. However it wouldn't let me buy anything so thinking it was probably an issue at my end, I cloud saved it and uninstalled and reinstalled the game. BIG mistake, when I reinstalled and logged it it automatically signed me into my cloud but as a new game and automatically saved it. Not only that but still n
32. [R322] 3/5 · AU Haven't received my gems or anything.: Bought the premium where we get the 1100 gems and other things. Haven't received them. And then I deleted the game and reinstalled it. Some how lost all my progress.
33. [R66] 1/5 · US Worst game ever: This level is so freaking slow its a joke normally you start out a little easier and can build up and have a chance to upgrade your towers this one is so dumb you die right off the bat no matter how you upgrade your tower this is probably the worst tower defense game Ive ever played
34. [R87] 1/5 · US Sucks: I can’t get past the first level and I’ve been spending so much time on this, I’ve tried everything that I can
35. [R108] 1/5 · US Worst game ever: This game was so terrible at the beginning and in the middle part those like no upgrades like I just kept playing and playing and playing and I made no progress. This is the worst game I’ve probably ever played. I just kept dying on the same level level five.
36. [R93] 1/5 · US Could you please fix this?: So I really like this game but reasently in the waves i get to like wave1100 on teir 1 and i stop earning coins and cash. Can you fix this please? ? So i went back to the game to how how far i would get with no more cash because why not and i sharted earning cash and coin again but please fix this So its ben a while and it is hapening whenwver i get to a new highest wa
37. [R135] 3/5 · US Recent bug: I’ve been experiencing a bug where I don’t earn anymore gold or cash after a good amount of waves. Last time this happened I was in wave 502 and I wanted to continue the game later. After I resume to the same game, it glitches and I don’t earn anymore gold or cash.
38. [R13] 1/5 · US 4 levels: Add more levels
39. [R106] 3/5 · US Only 4 levels, unfinished game: You run out of content very quickly. Only four chapters/levels. Ran out of things to do in just a couple hours. There’s a whole currency system for “diamonds” but there’s nowhere to spend them. This is a proof of concept more than a game.
40. [R25] 1/5 · US Great game but the Ads ruin it: I would love to give this game 5 stars, because it truly is fun but lately the ads are literally unskipable. You can’t skip them whatsoever and it feels like I am being forced to buy the no ads thing, which I will not. Not sure if it’s a bug but if it’s intentional then shame on the developers.
41. [R28] 3/5 · US Broken Ads: Fun game, but when I watch ads for rewards I keep getting an ad for a game where you buy property and you cannot exit out of this ad. It stays on screen until I exit out of the whole game and relaunch. It's extremely annoying and I don't even think I got my reward for watching the ad. I'm done with that.
42. [R45] 1/5 · US The worst ad: The worst thing you can show me at the end of a run is the reminder that I, someone who just recently spent $9.99 on doubling coin generation is in fact suboptimal, that you are in fact also selling a 3x coin boost for $29.99. I seriously threw up mentally. Is double the coin already obsolete? I was chugging along happily with 10k+ coin per run and now you’re suggesting I add a 3x bo
43. [R54] 1/5 · US Pay to win: The community mods on Reddit delete negative posts. New players beware, I’ve played for a couple years now I believe but if you think you’re going to make any progress getting into high tiers without giving over thousands of dollars, you’re wrong. And even if you do (give $$$$), you’re still thousands away from features they lock deep in this game behind thousands more dollars.
44. [R233] 3/5 · GB Not an Idle game: A very good tower defence game, not as good as Infintode2, but good. My main problem is that it isn’t an Idle game, you cannot set it up, switch off, do something else and come to some progress, on return you’re exactly where you left off. This scenario means you’re obligated to running the game for what can easily be an 8 hour run, or not build your tower’s capacity. With this i
45. [R331] 3/5 · AU Great game but not “idle”: Great game but the fact that I have to leave the game running for upwards of 10 hours at a time is ludicrous. Please add a “idle” function that allows users to close the app and use their phone for something other than this game alone.
