« Super petit jeu... Le seul défaut c'est justement d'être trop petit: quelques niveaux de plus seraient le bienvenu. »👍 anonymous review · Jul 2026 · 7 h played1« Little bit grindy at the mid-point, but a really fun gameplay loop. You can clear this game + all achievements in <10 hrs-- Extremely enjoyable game! Dev! Add a level builder + Steam Workshop support please! »👍 anonymous review · Jul 2026 · 9 h played19962« Great game, needs a workshop with custom maps, weapons and new enemies. »👍 anonymous review · Aug 2026 · 21 h played33« I beat the demo, so I was obliged to buy the game; a fun little tower defense game that ramps up slowly but puts a lot of tools at your disposal. Support indie devs! »👍 anonymous review · Jul 2026 · 1 h played31« Fun game but to short. Game needs some more maps to fully worth the price. »👍 anonymous review · Aug 2026 · 7 h played1111« This game is really good and especially good because it just released and has no problems or bugs I ran into so far. Im excited to see what future updates could bring to the game. »👍 anonymous review · Jul 2026 · 1 h played1
« Au prix auquel il est vendu c'est affligeant. vous avez 8 niveaux, temps de jeu sans afk moins de 4h. C'est une démo à la limite mais pas un jeu payant. »👎 anonymous review · Jul 2026 · 8 h played1« This is not a bad game, but this is a 2~3 hours game held up by tower grind times. Realistically no replay value after one play through. Good if on sale for say 5 bucks, but full price is asking a bit much. »👎 anonymous review · Aug 2026 · 10 h played8211« this type of game used to be a free browser game. not worth the price tag, but still fun, would grab it for at most 4,99, preferably 2,50 or less. »👎 anonymous review · Aug 2026 · 7 h played« the game is fine.... but its not long enough, not hard enough, lacks really diverse options and enemy variety... It's essentially the demo but a little longer. Thought there would be more... »👎 anonymous review · Aug 2026 · 10 h played« Basically the demo, only a tiny bit added on and reused most of the maps. Mostly just grind to get the required upgrades with only a tiny bit of placement/strategy required. If they add more towers and maps then would recommend. »👎 anonymous review · Jul 2026 · 6 h played« Fun little game, wish there was a bit more to it though. The "massive" skill tree is actually fairly small, and the game could use more maps. Hopefully the dev will add some more content. »👍 anonymous review · Aug 2026 · 19 h played1
