I really like this game and its mechanics so far. The one problem I have been having is that it sometimes flashes white and takes you back to the title screen. Luckily, you can continue where you left off, but it is a bit annoying.
The start of a new classic
Combines TD and Rogue-like very well. I might change my review after a dozen more runs, but so far so good.
It does drain my iPad pro's battery pretty quickly. Hopefully the devs see this and release a fix.
-- Update: Turned on energy save mode in the game settings. Adjusted score to five stars.

Simple strategy game that I can’t seem to get bored of!
Short’n simple
The game’s short and simple. It has a little progression to keep you playing for a bit but not much to it. I personally like these styles of games and they’re impossible to find though so here you go. You’ve got a fiver from me. It was a good time while I played it but rather short after downloading it before unlocking and burning out on the game from getting/doing the same stuff every time. It’s free though, so to efforts wasted there.
I like the rouge lite to it, although, with such little options you have very little replayability. I would’ve liked to see stronger upgrade synergies and more creative tower effects and affects, but then I suppose it wouldn’t have been as short’n simple, would it?
Great TD!
This was just what I was looking for. I’ve really enjoyed this game. I went ahead with unlocking the premium game modes. If you like classic tower defense with some smart new twists, give it a try!
Won’t let me start
The game runs fine, until I go to start the wave, I push the button and it does absolutely nothing. I know the button works because when there’s no tower placed, it tells me to “place all towers before you begin the wave”. When I place all towers, the button to start doesn’t do anything. Extremely frustrating since everybody else says the game is great.
It is good
But the game just keeps sending me back to the main menu
Interesting TD idea
However, it soft locks the actual gameplay behind its paid modes, meaning you’ll likely beat the game at its easiest (and only available difficulty level) within 30 minutes to an hour and have nowhere to progress from there.
The gameplay itself revolves around random towers and abilities you pseudo-draft, and a maze you create yourself. However, the map is too small to make any type of maze other than a simple spiral.
I can’t even get it to play
The game is literally unplayable it just keeps on attempting to load
