Great Game, Stupid App

w.eatherman

I revelry purchased the baked dame and love to play it with my family. This app has the same mechanics of course, so on that level it’s still a good game. But the developers of the app decided to over-complicate it by adding all of these “gamification” elements to it, awarding coins, stars and hearts outside the actual game as an enticement to buy Add-On purchases. And the focus on online play makes it impossible to play without an internet connection, so forget playing on the subway or anywhere else without internet. Even the solo “practice” session is poorly designed - the 5-minute game timer puts pressure on what should otherwise be a serene, thoughtful game. Why? To make it more likely that you would lose “hearts” and have to buy more. It’s pretty clear to me that the game was licensed to the app developer without any limits on what they could do, and as result the developers focused on building something that would make them the most money instead of focusing on making a great user experience. What this game needed was an app similar to other games in this class like Carcassonne or Catan. Simple, no bells and whistles, just good solo and local multiplayer action. Sell it for $5 and be done. As it stands, they won’t be getting s dime from me.

Great game bad app

Is the app this bad so you can sell the board game. Because that’s what it feels like. This would be the only game I play for a long time if only the app ran smoother. Hi

Game Freezes

I just downloaded this onto my iPhone Xs Max, and the game freezes at the parrot’s first move of the second tutorial level.

Freezes on Stones tutorial

Can’t really play just freezes on stones tutorial #2.

Fails in tutorial updated fixed

I’m on an iPad and the game stops working on the half stone and sand stone tutorial. This is very frustrating. I have deleted and re-downloaded the app several times and it still does not work. I’m able to get it to work on my iPhone. But would like to be able to play on my iPad. The developers don’t seem to check her emails so perhaps this review this review will help them figure out there’s a problem with the game at they need to fix. Update. The app has since been fixed and now it works great. Thanks.

Updating previous review

I had an issue with Master Meow taking 3-5 minutes to play but that has been fixed with the updates and this is now my favorite game to play. Thanks!
