“But as a regular player in these games, this is more difficult, not one of those small games for phones or tablets that are normal today... this game will give you hours of gameplay until you master it. Probably in easy difficulty you could complete all the levels, but 'normal' difficulty is not as easy as you expect in this kind of games, because the price of the towers is high compared to the money you earn for defeating enemies, so you need to choose the type of tower and how to upgrade it to win the level.”
“I like the graphic designs, game structure, and the gameplay feels smooth. I see a lot of potential in this game.”
