I love the game, it's a nice game that has a decent amount of coolness and action without mindless killing violence. It's a perfect balance you play in front of your friends and your kids. It may not be HD but it doesn't waste your battery. It's one of those games that you can play and watch TV or do something else at the same time depending on the difficulty because you don't always have to be right there looking at it. The only thing I would say they should do is make more and all the maps free.

This is one of the few free games I've played more than once. In fact, I have played this game for dozens of hours. It really is addicting. It is the best tower defense game I have discovered. I am really looking forward to the documented, but yet implemented ADMIN tower... which I just discovered is in the paid version. The latest update made the free version impossible in certain cases because of the division of tower defense types, but I bought the paid version and the Admin makes up for this extra challenge. That and the fact that towers can be upgraded six levels instead of just one. Great intro to the paid upgrade, which is even better. Without the Admin to make up for the extra challenge of the divided tower defense types, this version is not as fun as the previous version. Dropping my rating from 5 stars to 4 stars. Buy the full version if you want the 5 star experience; it really is worth the buck... or more.

I love Tower Defense games and this THE best I could find for the iPod Touch. However, I was really stumped a bit because it didn't explain what each type of gun does. It only gives names to the guns that are not self-explanatory. So, it may take some experimenting to figure it all out (I still haven't figured out everything). Even though this is not a big deal, it shouldn't be hard to provide a brief explanation for each gun. But, besides that, the game itself is so fun and addicting!
