HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (24 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★ The game is to slow the weapons are entirely weak and slow to react to next target.....
★★★★★ Only 2 to 3 lives and upgrade speeds are too slow and next wave comes on too fast.
Wrong or poor results4%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ In case I am wrong, and there's in fact a way to beat this level without nanites, then I'd suggest the developers to create their own YouTube channel, post the solutions and monetize there as well.
★★★★★ I'm 99% this developer has paid for ratings.. I am a long time gamer and tower defense fan.. this is the worst balanced TD game I have ever played, unless you use EXACTLY the perfect layout you cannot win. Also there…
★★★★★ so, the game is good and challenging like old TD's, but the developer does not understand some things. 1. Whenever someone complains about the tutorial and how hard is is, the developer links them screenshots to help…
WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • I would love it if you could make a “geodefense: Swarm” game. 5★, Jun 30, 2026
  • I just wish there are more levels to it. 5★, Feb 25, 2026
  • One thing that would add a whole new dimension to the game would be to have a continuous set of levels, where as you 'beat' a level it unlocks a new part of the path (the board becomes side-scrollable). 5★, Sep 17, 2025
  • I do wish it would get some updates, like the endless feature it keeps teasing/dangling… 5★, Feb 2, 2025
  • We need a way to tell them priorities. 4★, Jul 3, 2024
  • And lasers REALLY need a way to pin them. 4★, Jul 3, 2024
  • My one suggestion is that it would be nice if you could double tap to lock the lasers in a certain direction. 4★, Apr 9, 2024
  • Is a epic game and really fun but just needs more towers 4★, Feb 21, 2024

Great game!

I’ve been looking for a simple tower defense game like this! It’s challenging and fun, and feels really rewarding when you finally figure out how to beat the harder levels. Also, I appreciate that the ads are very short. Keep the content coming, guys!

★★★★★Aug 11, 2026
wenig werbung

ist seit langem mal wieder ein richtig gelungenes TD game! ja es beinhaltet werbung, aber meiner meinung nach völlig angemessen und falls es stört, kann man ja noch für einen akzeptablen preis die die werbefreie version upgraden

★★★★★Jul 21, 2026
more levels for endless

it would be SO much better if you could pick from ALL the levels in endless mode

★★★★★Jul 6, 2026
Best tower defense ever

Make more!!

★★★★★Jul 5, 2026
Endlich

Ein paar neue Level. Weiter so

★★★★★Jun 30, 2026
Excellent

A good geodefense clone. I would love it if you could make a “geodefense: Swarm” game. You can’t find that game anywhere. It’s very similar to this game but with an open board to place towers anywhere making your own pathways to guide the guys to destruction. Geodefense: Swarm was my favorite. Sadly it is no longer supported. I would absolutely spend my money on a clone of that game. Excellent game.
