    Well achievements are unlocking in game but not when you go into Game Center. Anyone else have this issue? Loving the game though.

    Is it just me or is that game basically the same as Tiny Heroes, just from another angle ?

    Damnit, I wasn't going to get any games this week (getting fewer games was my resolution for 2014...), and I was fine with this being an Adult Swim game and not getting it right away, but then finding out it's done by Grumpyface, one of my favorite development teams, I had to run up to the bank and throw what change I could find into my account this morning hoping I had enough there to get this and wound up with a balance of 3.76... =oD

    Anyway, I can't wait to get into it. EVERY ONE of your previous games are still on my phone, and I'm sure this will secure its own place as well. =oD

    Enjoying playing and so far my only difficulty is deciding which traps/minions I want to take and upgrade : ( personally I blame the developer for making them all fiendishly good!

    But yes on a serious note still enjoying it and well worth the price, so far certainly no need for any IAP, great graphics and gameplay and no bugs for me as of yet.

    There was a game on either Wii shop or psn that this looks a lot like and that game was fantastic. I wish I could remember the name because this makes me want to replay that again. I'll definitely be downloading this today. It is always a huge plus factor for me when the devs take time to participate in the forums.

    It's too bad past games soil iap. I like the idea behind this game's currency. But people see dual currency and assume the worst. Also, the game is 3 bucks... I am pretty sure I paid 15 for the unknown title I mentioned. Sure I like a deal but in reality Id pay 10 for a game like this. Crazy how the ios market is. I suppose ios gets more downloads than psn, wii shop etc so maybe that off sets it. Man I really rambled off course and I know you wanted to nix the iap talk, sorry :) I'll post my thoughts later. If anyone remembers the game I mentioned, let me know!

    Loving the game like I do pretty much every adult swim game :) very fun and can't wait to tackle endless mode for leaderboards. Great buy and well worth it.

    Wow, thanks for the kind words everyone! I can't tell you how much of a joy it is to see this sort of reception -- our games are our babies, and releasing them into the world is quite a scary thing... so when it goes over well it's always a relief ;)

    Hmm, are none of your achievement appearing, or is it just the Mind Your Manor one? (we had another report about that one) Also ,did you try quitting the game (kill in multitasking) and reopen it and looking again?

    We'll be taking a look today at bugs in general and will likely have a fix for issues like this in a few days -- thanks for reporting :)

    Really diggin this game so far. Haven't played a whole lot (level 11) but what I have played is quite enjoyable. Of the three games I purchased this week this is the best. Hopefully it gets enough attention to warrant new content.

    Also, is there any way to see the list of to-doom that has been completed and the list that has not been completed? I can't tell at all. Are the lists only available in GameCenter? What happen if you don't use GameCenter?

    I just want to echo what everyone else is saying... this is truly a great game. I was awake until the early hours of the morning playing it.

    I see on the front page that it has just been given a 5 star review. Well deserved.

    Hi y2kmp3,

    No, I'm afraid that you can only see the three "To-Dooms" you have active. However, To-Dooms are actually infinite challenges -- once you complete the 30 unique challenges they reset and you can play through all of them again (and get the rewards again).

    Can you play the same game save on multiple devices like plants vs zombies 2?

    This defiantly takes tower defence to a whole NEW level. It's completely different from any TD I've played but they've executed perfectly.

    When I see Adult Swim I think of small little mini games on the mobile platform. I was skeptical at first but all these great reviews make up my mind.

    They were all right! It's a lot of fun and I can't wait to continue playing. It's pretty challenging and all the traps & towers are nifty.

    Are these "To-Dooms" challenges predetermined for each level or are they just randomly allocated for each level?

    Please consider having a separate list showing the current round of 30 "To-Dooms" so we can track which ones need to do to maximize the reward.
