What players say
Players report a minimal tower defense stripped of options and polish. There is no settings menu, towers lack visual upgrades, and the camera is fixed. Many call it low-effort and unfinished, with several pointing out a 2023 price increase from 0.90 to 4.99. A few see a demanding, back-to-basics challenge beneath the bugs.
