It is a great app. I had this with me when I recently went to Hawaii and the panorama shots I got while at the top of Diamond Head are pretty cool.

You are to blame for my lack of sleep last night.

I hear ya. What an addicting game!

I'm on level 49, but no where close to passing it. I think I did my upgrades wrong, and should probably just give it up.

I've been only allowed myself to play it while I commute... I've missed at least 10 trains, because I was so close to finishing a level off.

It's incredibly addictive and really well done. I was really skeptical when my friend told me about it. I was pretty much convinced that it was going to be the biggest waste of time, because it sounded like a poor knock off with a few Army of Darkness characters. But boy was I ever wrong.

I'm on level 39. So far, I am happy with my upgrades, but we'll see what happens. Every few 10 levels or so, I have to change my strategy a bit. This usually involves my buying a bunch of upgrades on something that I hadn't really used.

So, you were right. It is the biggest waste of time.

My tip (from what I've read)...
Put all your money into upgrading you castle (Wall Archers, Wall Catapults) before it is too late. I would also include Ash and the Deathcoaster.

Thanks for the Army of Darkness idea!

I remember seeing a review of this on a random episode of Reviews on the Run and was going to get it but totally forgot.

Free? Well okie dokie!

Well, I am on wave 46 now and it is sure getting hard. I guess I will keep trying to get as much money as possible before going down the drain so I can max out my castle. I've maxed out Ash & Smithy. So, I need a lot of cash now.

Rio was just a movie that partnered with angry birds for promotional purposes, I thought.
