    I actually agree with most of that review, but the pros still outweigh the cons and Sway has never left my iPod after being the second app I ever bought... it's just a learning curve thing :)

    It took me 1,275 Seconds from reading the notice here at TA till iTunes was downloading GeoDefense Swarm... :D

    The insane difficulty is one of the key elements in GeoDefense... its very frustrating but in a good way, it keeps you playing... and thats what it sets GD apart from most other TD kinda Games... imho...

    This game is awesome. I just wish there was a better icon. Maybe the same geoDefense icon but in a different color or something.

    A different colour was the first thing I thought of too, then I realized the tower in the game would still be blue so it wouldn't make sense :p Perhaps just a different tower altogether.

    or how about 4 or 5 hexes with creeps on them to emphasize the 'swarm' part of the game

    I believe it thumps, but don't hold me to that.

    I agree, the Icon seems poorly planned

    HOWEVER:

    This game is fantastic, i'm so happy to have essentially a map pack for an already amazing game. This is just what I wanted, and I would have paid $5 for this! I'm a fan of now this series, and will be for a long time. If you can't figure the game out, then you should have played GeoDefense! They go hand in hand... I think that if you beat the first game, then you'll have no problem with the second!

    Great work, I think it's 5 stars out of the box!

    How has no one commented on this? does this mean so few have bought this game?

    Is it better to leave missile towers on level 6 since have a higher firing rate than level 7?

    Pretty much, yeah, though it depends on how fast they should be shooting.. up close to the gate can be 6's but close to the exit if they're 7's then they have the range to make up for the rate of fire

    right guys? or am i looking too far into this?

    Ok I'm kind of mad right now...I was at wave 110ish on easy level 10 when I paused the game and quit the app to take a break. When I launched the game again the voice said "warning meltdown imminent" or whatever but it still showed the loading screen, then crashed. Tried launching it a second time and I lost my game. No high score recorded. :mad: :(

    fix please

    I think it's happened before, but the first time I'd just started a game and wasn't really paying attention.

    well, this is version 1.0 after all. I personally dislike the icon, especially that horrid green text. All the other graphics are so awesome that the icon and "Swarm" text are just a shame.

    Critical Thought Games, please change this as soon as possible, i love everything else about the game!!!!

    Perhaps I am just doing something wrong. Though "Tap-n-Drag" sounds easy. I cannot for the life of me get the Vortex Towers to do *anything* at all. Am I missing something? Anybody else having issues with them?
