Redownloaded this app after playing it years ago. Ads now is annoying, but negligible. The most annoying thing is that not only are my achievements not saving properly, but the ones that DO save will keep popping up every time I reopen the app. Getting 34 achievements in a row (I've actually done 41, but it only saved 34) gets really annoying.Other than that, the gameplay itself is exactly how I remember it and still quite fun. I can save fine, though the autosave popping up first gets annoying as well because it's often a couple levels behind where I got to.

Update: Thank you guys for listening. I hope you guys make games as successful as this gem. The review below was from eight years ago. Back when the App Store was in its second year. It looks like the developers pushed an update six years since the last to take it off the naughty list (where it'll now run on iOS 11). While the game is intact and it feels a little crude given the time since it was released the problem that came up now is the fact that they've added ads in between levels. Considering I paid for this game, $2 at the time (not breaking the bank obviously but this is a point of principal), it's kind of a slap in the face. I'm all for supporting game developers and the devs do have the right to find other sources to make money on existing games. However the devs should make a separate free to play listing and leave this one intact. [[As an owner of both the Wiiware and iTouch version of this app i have got to say that this is the best app on both services. The graphics are funny and the achievement system is an awesome edition (iTouch version). This is such a great buy and a great time killer or for any ocasion. Buy this app now!]]

The new update allows saving your game! However, the trade off is ads have been added! I would give it 5 stars, if it weren't for the ads!!!! Dump the ads! This game is paid for! Nobody wants or needs to see them! ::: UPDATE ::: The save works, but now? The medals earned are reset. A Heroic game at level 285 opens with no medals, then adds medals that exist for that game & when the game itself is started. In other words, after saving & closing the game, all medals are lost! Down to 3 stars! Fix it! Sir ~Jazz~ :::UPDATE Oct/24::: Love the game (since Sep/17) No ads! Saves are good! It’s a small program! Even though the walls don’t get higher as you upgrade (like the original), it’s still a lot of fun. Now, I don’t even save the games (about 50 saves now), I just start & see how far I can get with different game options. Get the conversion pit, archers tower, & stone masons tower first. Get all 3 to level 2 & 100 men at each tower, build walls to 1000. Then, just do your thing…

Used to be a 5 star game, but it doesn’t let me save anymore and so I can’t continue my progress, save my purchased fortifications, collect medals etc. I have to start over from the beginning every time I play and it’s kind of sucking the fun out of the game for me. It used to just be press “save” after the round ends and it would think for a sec and save. Then I could leave the app, come back and keep playing where I left off.Now it pulls up a blank white screen with lines on it and a little + sign at the top. I’m assuming they were trying to make a feature to allow you to save multiple different games at once- but it doesn’t work and every time I press the + my app crashes and resets me back to the beginning. All points collected are lost, all fortifications gone. It’s really lame and not fun.
