The gameplay is characterized as a classic tower defense experience that combines puzzles and strategy, offering extensive replayability through high score challenges. While the mechanics, such as tower upgrades, may initially be unclear, players find the levels enjoyable once mastered, despite some balance issues with certain enemy types, like the gummy bears.
“An absolute recommendation of a game if you like puzzles and strategy, and of course, if you are better at it than I was in my gameplay, which I'm going to guess you are.”
“Days of gameplay, encouraging players to challenge themselves to beat endless play high scores.”
“With regards to gameplay, it took me a while to learn about upgrading towers; it's not overly clear. However, once you have worked it out, the levels are fun, although I do think that gummy bears are overpowered, especially with the fact they split into two pieces with full health after being initially defeated.”
“Gameplay is your typical tower defense fanfare.”
