Not worth it for this Price! Gameplay is boring and youre finish in less then 5 hours.

I think the concept of this game is great but there are alot of technical things that make it hard to enjoy. If those were fixed id say its a fine game. So thats really up to the developers to make this work better. * If you play in windowed mode, which i like to do, the game doesnt fit to the window size so some of it is cut off and you cant see some things you need to. (EDIT i played in full screen and its STILL …

I liked the game. It's nothing fancy, but the wave defence is pretty good and the fact that you can combine elements for more dmg. It offers challenge, but is still a pretty relaxing game. Very good on controller, not so much on MnK, through.

Short, cheap and fun. There are some bugs. The biggest is that the text is unreadable. But at least it's easy. The most difficult is the beginning and some bosses. Preferably with a discount.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is medicore by itself but also do not support correctly Win 10, and we see anouying bugged text :/
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Controller support is meh, and the UI is riddled with bugs. The whole game is like a beta version. The gameplay in itself is fun the first 5 minutes, but after that it becomes too repetitive.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Krinkle Krusher is a simple mobile app "clicker" game where you play a hand with magic rings which deploy various weapons onto waves of enemies as they approach your castle. Like a tower defense game, if you don't eradicate the enemies, they eventually destroy your base. Unlike a tower defense, there's no towers so you have to tap on the enemies on your phone screen to kill them. Whack-a-mole has never been more boring. The graphics are cutesy and the game looks like it's aimed at…
