    I really love this game on my iPhone 4s. Super clean, intuitive and intricate UI, piles of fun, just great. Except for the repeated crashes. It used to crash right at the start of mission 10, then when the mission was loading, and then when I was selecting team members and so on backwards until the app now just shows SMG then croaks. Deleted, reinstalled, cloud restored updated, nada. But I will definitely be diligent about finding a fix since this game is supa dupa.

    I'm stuck on level 25 damn. Does anyone have any tips? I really would appreciate it guys i love this game and want to finish it. I'm using lvl 47 bombardier,lvl 35 scientist and lvl 44 saboteur. All of their hit power is maxed up,what would be a good strategy for level 25? or should I level up my heroes?

    EDIT: I beat it RIGHT AFTER I wrote this post lol great game,waiting for updates,I hope new levels will be coming.

    Wow, started this game back up for the first time in a while to try out the new levels and 21 is brutal. Really strong units coming from all directions at the get go and not enough money to buy enough firepower to stop them.

    Should I have spent time grinding levels on my units? I played through 1-20 when released and never had the need to grind levels so everyone is under level 20.

    I've seen a couple different approaches from people so far. It's designed as the toughest map and it needs a well organised and systematic approach.

    The best hints I can think of:

    - always keep at least one tower on either side of the circle alive, as the cultists will occupy themselves there for a long time before moving on. THe Engineer with Repair Wave and some heavy duty armor can be helpful there. I'd even suggest the Tommy as a weapon over the Crucifixor here as the shorter range will allow more attention given to repairs.

    - load up on enough skills to attack cultists manually through their cloaks.

    - bring one heavy hitter on energy damage, and one on fire. The alternating energy/fire high resistance skulls should be taken on early (by the right hero), and ideally slowed down if possible.

    - a third hero with impact damage is viable (not essential) as they can provide support in both streams as needed - the Shocking and Fiery Deaths are only 50% impact resistant.

    - use enough impact weapons, towers, skills to stop the Hyperspiders before they can unload on the HQ.

    Essentially, the map requires perfectly balanced firepower and a sharp attention span.

    Beating mission with <lvl20 heroes is good! most people I think ended up with higher level heroes by that point but it's (evidently) not required.

    If you have a look earlier in this thread (previous page), I provided some in-depth mission 21 advice and a gameplay video. My heroes were late 20s (just what I had in my data at the time) and I messed up a few times in that particular run, but hopefully it helps you.

    It's a bit of a shakeup on the gameplay - you need to go forward on the attack at all times without a moment wasted. Use towers for support, slowdowns and just key areas for dmg output.

    That's worrying to hear. We haven't seen too many iPhone 4s crash issues lately but we're continually looking for ways to reduce memory and eliminate issues. Are you on the most up to date version?

    Out of curiosity- how many people were able to beat this without IAP? I think it's pretty greedy to charge $5 for a game that's really difficult (from what I read) and to have timers?

    Everyone that played it on Steam that finished the game, for starters. There's no iAP available but the balancing is identical.

    Some people have said they had to grind to get through the tougher maps, but others flew through without any trouble. It depends on individual approach and the choices in upgrading heroes.

    The latter part of the game is difficult (some argue it isn't) because we wanted to design a difficult game, not for greed. Experiences vary though, we've seen literally every different reaction imaginable to the game's balancing.

    I contacted support about an update a few months back. They told me they had a all update coming- you liars! This is not a small update, but I still love you ❤️

    Sorry, but I really didn't like this game. Polish of the game is good but the humor and gameplay is really missing the mark.

    I, on the other hand, really liked this game. Gameplay maybe cookie cutter, even with the character skills and growth, but they are done flawlessly in here. At the very least it showed an attempt at humor where most other good TDs dont even try to have anything at all (not just humor, but character to set the tone).

    I also like that dark humour. Great TD game IMHO.
