Just awful! – Tower X Review

This seems more like someone playing around with the SDK rather than a complete or finished game. It is awful. - Poorly conceived graphics, simple can be done well, but you can barely tell the difference between the levels of towers, and when there are a lot of creeps, it is just a mess. - No upgrading. Just more advanced towers. You can't even destroy or remove existing towers. Come on, this is basic TD stuff. - No Balance. Advanced towers are pointless because of cost. 5 basic laser towers are way more powerful than a triple laser tower. - Bad logic. Shots disappear if target goes away. Towers can be completely useless if placed behind a faster shooting tower. Both will target a creep but if the first one kills it, the shots from the second disappear. - Crashes. - NO SAVE!?!? You have to play a game from beginning to end in one sitting or you have to start over. - Minor, but no "return to main menu" or anything in game. to end a level you have to quit the app and reload. - Way too long too load for something with virtually no graphics sound or complex logic. - Some of the advanced towers are frankly dumb. The laser bomb seems completely useless. Sorry, I wish I could say something good about it, but I can find nothing redeeming. Limited maps and options, poorly planned graphics, annoying sound, many key gameplay features missing, many general features missing, poor pacing and lack of balance in the gameplay. Couple that with the fact there is nothing innovative at all to at least make it worth watching for future updates, and you have to wonder why they even bothered to make it in the first place. If you like Tower Defense, look elsewhere, all of the other versions in the app store are better than this one. Developers: don't bother updating this "test" (or whatever it is), scrap it and start over.
