Great game!

My wife and I love this game! Please increase the sounds past 32kbps!

No complaints, Im having fun

I havent noticed any bugs with the game, and its running very smoothly. Looks great, plays great, definitely worth buying if you like the board game.

Faithful Implementation, but....

Needs a way to keep a list of best scores in Time Attack and a way to issue challenges to friends....

Animation is very annoying and distracting

Please give an option to stop the animation. It would be a 5 star game otherwise.

The interface is overdone

As far as gameplay, this is fine. It doesnt do any variant rules. There are 2 levels of AI. I sometimes win and sometimes lose, so I guess the AI is not too good and not too bad. :-) But the graphical presentation, IMO, is too much - this is not a game that needs the full 3-D sparkly bouncy visuals, and in fact on my iPod Touch (retina) I think they interfere with my enjoyment of the game and make it harder to read the board state - I suppose that might be less of a problem on iPad. The perspective 3D view of the board means that I have to look closely to see where the progress markers are on the far side, and having the little cones constantly bouncing up and down doesnt help. (Also, I cant help thinking that all that 3D action is burning my battery 3x as fast as a 2D interface, and makes the game take longer to load.) Now, my expectations may have been set to some extent by having previously enjoyed a much more plain vanilla version on my (now long gone) Palm device. But I miss the very clear, easy to read visuals of that version.

fun game/battery drain

This is a really fun game, but there is too much animation. The outside whirls around, bubbles float about, the cones jump up and down, etc... It is all too much. And the game drains the battery. Play, however, is really fun.

Fun

Can you add stats and multiplayer? Otherwise fun game

First thing I did was look for an option to turn OFF animation

I loved playing the actual board game when I was growing up, and I was excited to see it on the iPad! I think it would be more fun to be able to physically drag and "group" the dice together and count my own numbers instead of it doing the math and giving me my "options." Part of the fun is watching your opponent miss a play on the board because of calculations or oversights. The reason I gave only 2 stars is the spinning background and jumping pieces. Its so overstated and makes the game unplayable for me. If you are at all motion sensitive, do yourself a favor and dont spend the $0.99! I noticed in the reviews that people have been asking for an upgrade to fix the animation since 2012, so Im afraid its not coming.

Seizure!

This is the first review Ive written for an app--its so terrible. The animations are awful. I cant decide whats worse, the cloud of rotating bubbles or the constantly jumping and rotating game pieces! The game itself is fun; I used to play it as a kid. But this app, I could barely stand playing one game. Its a shame.

Fun board game

Definitely the cheaper option: the board game is 40$! Although I didnt like all the unecessarry animation.

A lot of fun, but still buggy

I love this game, both IRL and on my phone, however they still have at least one serious bug. I have rolled an option that would help me clear a column, and still had a white marker left, but the game did not give me the option of that combo. That is a huge issue!!!! I would include a screenshot if I could to illustrate.

Good but....

Needs online play.

Cant Stop

Why cant you play online friends?

AI is impossible to beat

I maybe win 1 out of 20 games. Not a lot of fun against the computer. I would buy the board game instead.

Reminds me of push button slot machines ...

I agree with other reviewers: the dancing graphics are an annoying distraction and, worse, having the dice options automatically added up and sorted out removes the players mind from the game. It becomes little more than pushing buttons and watching dancing colors. With more user-selectable interface options, this could be as engaging and fun as the physical game. Without improvements suggested in previous years-old reviews, game-play is dumb and dull. Not recommended.

Awful Graphics

Cant play without getting a headache. Give us options to turn all this *%#* off.
