Reviews

Excellent polished title
mrbass.org

Well written instructions, great graphics and great AI levels. This blows the other two outta the water. Easily made my best iphone games list. Can't wait for your next app whatever it may be. Your reversi game has by far the best AI too.


One of my most favorite games

Played it in Germany and loved it. It should have more than one skin theme Maybe like a wood theme Well worth $1.99


Nice Application

Interface is easy to use. Simply touch the piece that you want to move and the game shows the legal moves. Fat-fingering is not a problem. This application allows you to play 4 different, but related, games. The other versions of Merelles for the iTouch/iPhone do not offer the various different games and don't allow for computer play. A great buy for only $2! My only request would be for another board or two: perhaps a wood board with stone pieces.


One of my favorite games.

Great game! Great app! Cross between checkers and tic tac toe. Was played in ancient Egypt.


Very Good; Suggestions for next version
Nickname Still Taken

I truely enjoy this App and consider it money well spent. That said, the following are my requests for the next version: * unlimited undo (vs the current 1 level undo) * more statistics & button next to settings on game board (# win/loss/%, etc. look at the Sol Free app) * quick button to play with default settings (players, game, colour) or just jump straight to the last played game * more themes * hint button for at least the easy level * a description of the difference between "Abandon Game" & "Resign" All that said, I really do recomend this App.


Easy, is freak'n hard!

Not much of a beginner mode the AI kills, I guess I haven't played this in a while but I still would think easy wouldn't be this difficult
