This is a fun game comparable to Toy Defense. It isn't quite as addicting. I tend to not play this for hours on end. But, I keep coming back, trying to get 100% on the levels. I found the graphics to be unique and very good. I have also found the tune stuck in my head! I am still working on all 100% levels and am on the easier version. I can't imagine what hard will be like. Worth giving a try!
I recommend this game!

Great military tower time management game, you can play it though twice if you wish, as the expert mode adds a more challenging engagements. I played it for about 10 to 15 hours so its a good deal, when you get it on sale.
Best all,
Mike

Note: I've only played the demo.
Although this game is about towers defending against tanks and airplanes (at least throughout the demo), a pretty standard scenario, unusually, it is set in a cardboard box in someone's room, and, it's 3D, unlike any other tower defender game I've seen, which for me, isn't that many.

Although this game is about towers defending against tanks and airplanes (at least throughout the demo), a pretty standard scenario, unusually, it is set in a cardboard box in someone's room, and, it's 3D, unlike any other tower defender game I've seen, which for me, isn't that many.
I found the interface to be really clear in describing exactly how much time, how many lives, how many waves, how much money, etc. There could be a little more distinguishing information about exactly what type of tanks or planes are set to come out in each level or wave, The game keeps track of how well you did each level based on how many tanks or planes you let through. I didn't find any problems with jerky cursor movement, unlike another reviewer.
The screen does look just a little blurry, but I didn't think it was a problem. Music is standard dramatic military movie issue but I didn't dislike it.
I didn't find it terribly challenging so far, but I have only reached level 4, so there's a lot of room for increase in difficulty.
All-in-all, if you like this kind of game, but maybe if you haven't played too many of them, you might find this enjoyable without being overly challenging at the beginning at least. Show less

I'm a tower defence fan and I enjoyed this one. I liked the graphics and the "paper toys" idea, makes it cute-sy. My favorite td game is still Mushroom Revolution though!

I also had a problem with the rotation of the screen, but once I found you just clicked on the zoom on the right, it was okay.
I really enjoyed this game, and it was enough of a challenge to make it interesting. I had to start again a few times on the later levels.
Some of the weapons are useless, so I just stuck to 3 weapons and concentrated on them and upgrading. The sound effects were good and

Some of the weapons are useless, so I just stuck to 3 weapons and concentrated on them and upgrading. The sound effects were good and as for the music being distracting......I just turned it off! :-)
I did finish the game rather quickly as there weren't many levels and would have liked some more. I also found it very addictive.
I'm now going to see if there is another game of this type. Show less

Although I wasn't entirely thrilled with the graphics at first, I found myself enjoying the game play and found it challenging after the first few levels. I did buy it, because I really like the tower defense type games and haven't seen one in a while.

Basically, it looks like you're set up in a kid's room with paper tanks and airplanes, and cardboard boxes for buildings and hangars. A paper map that shows you where the ground and air enemies will be entering and exiting. You have spots to place your differnent types of towers - some shoot at only ground targets, others only air, and others at both - some more powerful and expensive than others. You get your money from each destroyed target.
Give it a try. Even if you don't buy it, the trial will be a fun diversion for an hour. Show less
