Dinsun Expert Review
Our Expert Score
Spacexyz Idle Tower Defense is a clever mix of 'active' strategy and 'passive' progression. The core loop is simple: you build a central tower and upgrade its various weapons to fend off waves of alien geometric shapes. The 'XYZ' in the name refers to the three-dimensional upgrade paths you can take—focusing on Power, Speed, or Utility.
The idle mechanics are well-tuned. You feel like you're making progress even when the app is closed, and coming back to a mountain of 'Stardust' to spend on permanent upgrades is a great dopamine hit. The visual style is minimalist and neon, which keeps the screen from feeling too cluttered even when there are hundreds of projectiles flying around. It's a great 'second screen' game—something to have running while you're doing something else, but with enough depth to demand your full attention during the tough boss waves.

Infinite Wave Progression

Satisfying Idle Mechanics

Tips & Walkthrough
Invest your first few thousand Stardust into the 'Interest' perk. This increases your passive income during the wave, allowing you to buy expensive weapon upgrades much earlier than usual.
Gameplays
When the waves get too hard, 'Warp' back to the beginning. You'll lose your current tower upgrades but gain 'Ancient Matter' to buy permanent, game-changing buffs.

Q&A
In-game tower upgrades reset, but 'Lab' research and 'Artifact' bonuses are permanent and stay with you forever.

Ads after update?
Tue Nov 25 2025 Melon702Really? That was your optimization? Was to force us to watch ads? Just when I thought I had found a fun game that didn’t show ads down your throat you go and update this game and now force us to watch ads 30-40 second ad. I get the need for profit. Don’t make the ad removal 25 dollars when everyone else is paying 5 bucks for it. You have a phenomenal platform and a great game on your hands and you’re ruining the experience by forcing the ads and charging such a high price for the ad removal. Make it five bucks and I’ll buy your ad removal. But keep it 25 and you’re gonna push people away and you’ll still be at square one. Edit: I’ve changed my review to five stars. Thank you for listening to the player group. You guys have an amazing game and the fact you guys took away the ads means a lot. Thank you.
Auto skip to next day feature
Sun Feb 15 2026 jsyhandbfjCould you guys add an auto skip to next day feature because it gets annoying sometimes having to press continue all the time, I wanna let the game run without me having to be there. It could the same just pause for 3 seconds for the day and night report then just continue the game yknow.
Constant Disconnects and Lost Progress
Thu Jan 01 2026 Disconnect & DeleteSpaceXYZ deserves 1 star. It disconnects constantly, and when I reload back into the game, my data isn’t saved—progress just disappears. A game that can’t stay connected or reliably save player data is frustrating and not worth the time until these issues are fixed.
New game still needs time
Thu Dec 25 2025 ReviewingtodayIt started off fun and they kept adding updates that changed the game and some were great and some they didn’t tell you it happened in the update but you would find out. Turns out there is a reason they didn’t put it in their announcements. Usually it’s because they were not good updates. There are a lot of bugs, I recently lost progress and had to start over so I’m uninstalling now. Maybe after they’ve figured out how they want the game to be it could be great but until then, it still feels like we’re test subjects.
Blatant Ripoff and Copyright Violation
Sat Feb 14 2026 Zack DerbyWhen I first saw this, I thought Carbot had a mobile game. Until I looked into it and found out that these people ripped off the design from Carbot Animations. Yes, Carbot is based on Blizzards StarCraft game, but the difference is that he actually has permission from the Blizzard to use the likeness in his animations to the point that Blizzard even offers it as a skin for the StarCraft games. There’s plenty of other tower defense games that don’t steal other peoples exact designs and make money off them. Go play one of those instead of rewarding these people for a lazy knock off and violating copyright.
Was amazing then turned to ad fest
Thu Dec 11 2025 Reaper152002When I first downloaded during the summer, I found one of the best tower defense game for the phone with a plenty of upgrades and ways to survive and truly have fun with a iOS app. Even though it takes similarities with StarCrafts cartoon mod I enjoyed it immensely, until the ads were added for the day and night cycle, the amount of credits I earned from games decreased after I survived longer, and now I’m getting 2 ads at a time? This is so disappointing to see, as with each update it just burns through my phone with ads and lag
Big with the broken the salvage bot malfunction,
Thu Jan 08 2026 hatsdogsWhen ever I get the salvage bot being malfunction after the 10th wave I would get all my resources that have been held from me, but if I was to get another malfunction bot for the next 10 waves, everything that was previously withheld for me will be deleted and restarts the resources counter back to zero, I’m sure this is truly a bug in the game, and not a by game design, but if you can please fix, and I’ll delete this after since I see no point in leaving a 1 star. This who review is truly to just get the developer’s attention, hopefully
Crashes at the end of playthroughs, cant collect earnings
Wed Dec 17 2025 Me and poofThe game is fun in theory but once you get to higher waves, the game crashes when you try to collect rewards. And in order to afford upgrades you need to grind A LOT of playthroughs. It’s very frustrating to play 20 minute sessions only for it to crash at the end and waste all your progress. I submitted tickets and they didnt believe me, asking for videos. So i sent s screen cap video and they just stopped responding. Worthless. Dont pay for their in app purchases if they wont fix their base game
