Game has potential, but it has four levels and then a fifth “level” that is unlimited. Game is coded poorly and frequently needs to be force closed because I can no longer even swap pieces. Upon reopening, it gives the option to continue where you left off - which is nice - but also sometimes reverts to previous levels upon reopening; this just happened to me and dropped me 50 levels and then didn’t kick in any of the upgrades I had chosen, so it was an immediate failure when I was slated to overtake 1st place 🤷🏻♂️I cannot figure out how to get more upgrade stars to upgrade the turrets.
