  • monetization563 mentions

    The monetization strategy of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many players labeling it a "cash grab." While some appreciate the absence of forced ads, they criticize the heavy reliance on optional ads for rewards, which often fail to deliver, leading to frustration.

  • grinding207 mentions

    The reviews indicate that the game is heavily grind-focused, with many players expressing frustration over the excessive amount of grinding required to progress, especially after reaching higher levels. While some find the grinding manageable or even enjoyable, a significant number feel it becomes tedious and repetitive, often leading to a pay-to-win scenario for faster advancement. Overall, the consensus is that while the game has fun elements, the grinding aspect is a major drawback that can hinder enjoyment.

    • “By level 3, you already start losing if you're not offered the log, and by level 4, you can't clear it without farming previous levels.”
    • “Without paying real money, you're going to be grinding for weeks just to pass 1 level.”
    • “The game is enjoyable but progression is incredibly slow; grinding becomes necessary almost immediately.”
  • gameplay141 mentions

While the art style and overall concept are praised, the gameplay experience is often marred by grindiness and unclear progression paths.

    • “No actual gameplay or strategy, just a DPS check every stage.”
  • graphics53 mentions

    The graphics of the game are generally praised for their charming and cute art style, reminiscent of hand-drawn doodles and early 2000s flash games.

    • “It's just a tower defense game minus decent graphics.”
    • “Worst game I ever played; even a low graphic game is better. I can't even get to the first 10 levels; it is not how it seems in ads.”
  • stability30 mentions

    The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with frequent reports of freezing and crashing, particularly when interacting with ads or attempting to unlock rewards.

    • “The one issue I have encountered is when watching an ad to unlock a reward, upon returning to the game screen it freezes.”
    • “It would have been a 5-star game, but out of nowhere the app stopped working yesterday. It freezes on the opening screen and won't load past it. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, and it still won't work. I really loved this game, and this blows.”

  • music13 mentions

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it repetitive and expressing frustration over the continued use of Christmas music well into January.

Overall, the music aspect seems to detract from the gaming experience for a significant number of users.

    • “Really liking the game and how they don't force ads down our necks, as we choose to watch them for rewards while we do other stuff such as getting a drink and not able to play the actual game. The Santa style update today with the added music literally made us go 'oh noooo' 😒 so we deducted 1 star for that as we liked the previous music and style much more.”
    • “I only got it though because of an ad that was playing Attack on Titan music and had titans in the gameplay.”
    • “Love the music.”
    • “The music is a bit repetitive, but it can be turned off, so no issue there.”
    • “Still playing Christmas music at the end of January.”
    • “Fun game, but being the end of January and it's still Christmas music, I suspect that support/updates in this game are non-existent.”
