Good game
Had a great time Thanks a lot Just wish the animation of the chips changing color were showing them flip over
Nice app but very annoying asking for review reviews
This is a nice little free Othello app. It’s been my go to for a while. But I’m finally writing a review because it wouldn’t stop asking me to write a review. So annoying!
Possibilité d’annuler un coup + Masquer les coups possibles ?
Très bon jeu! IA très (trop?) challengeante ! Seuls bémols à mon sens : aucun replay ou possibilité de revenir en arrière pour analyser une erreur… c’est dommage. J’aimerais pouvoir masquer les coups possibles (points sur le damier) afin de réfléchir par moi même. Avec ces deux fonctionnalités, le jeu serait parfait!
It’s great but
This could just be the fact that I’m really bad at othello but even on 0 level difficulty it’s really hard to win. I also wish that I could get some kinda feedback on moves and be able to undo moves in a bot match.
Keeps crashing
Had to reload 3 times in one week. Great free app but needs to be more reliable.
Most Excellent
Fantastic easy play with no ads and no invasive data theft. A definite 5 star app.
Makes no sense
It’s like the game has unwritten laws I don’t get. I get one chance, the other player gets 3 chances!!! I mean, what the hell?
Sans choix prédéfinis ?
Il serait judicieux , pour mieux progresser, de jouer nos choix! IA corrigerait si les choix (et seulement dans ce cas) sont impossible.
Strong engine but no online opponents
Playing online vs. random opponents actually never worked, at least when I tried to play.
Remove history
How to ?
Love this game
Perfectly executed. So much fun.
Never win
Even if I play the least difficult level, I never win, and that’s absolutely no fun, so I deleted the game.
Well done! Just this...
I find AI level 4 very easy but 5 very hard. Could one or the other be adjusted? Also I accidentally tap the screenshot button semi-regularly when I wanted to Undo / step back. It triggers even if i move my finger before lifting (unlike many apps) so there's no avoiding the hassle of waiting for a screenshot, cancelling, going back to history page, finding the step I wanted and tapping the correct button.
AIの試行時間が長すぎる
最強にするとまぁまぁ強いけどやっぱ長い
Great game but has some infuriating UX issues
First of all, the AI is really good, probably the best one I've come across so far. It looks pretty and there's no fullscreen ads. I would've given this 5 stars, BUT there are a couple of things that makes me so mad that I'm uninstalling: 1. The UI buttons are too sensitive, I think the developer tied the tap event to trigger the moment something touches it, so I would keep on accidentally pressing the export or share button when scrolling through the history. It would've been a non issue except for... 2. Many things trigger alert pop ups! It's not those "modal" dialogues that you can dismiss by tapping anywhere on the screen outside the modal, nah these ones you have to tap the exact "ok" to acknowledge that "transcript has been copied". I really don't believe that message is important enough for users to explicitly dismiss? A toast that fades after a couple of seconds would do. 3. Needs quick undo, it's frustrating scrolling through the history when I made a mistake and want to quickly go back, meanwhile the moment I open the history pane, it's like a mine field trying to avoid hitting buttons while trying to scroll is a pain. 4. After the game ends, it's a bit weird that nothing happens? There's a "thank you for playing" alert, but it doesn't tell you explicitly who won (not hard to figure out but still). Then it seems like I have to "abandon the current game" to start a new game? Another alert dialogue! This app is great, it's just a shame that the usability makes playing the game really frustrating. @developers if you could add an option in the settings for people who wants a fast game and don't care for confirmation dialogues, that would be amazing, and I'm definitely coming back. If it's not obvious yet, I'm a dev myself and I understand how annoying demanding users can be, but y'all have done an amazing job with this game, and I really wanted you guys to succeed, not held back by minor UX issues.
Love love love
I absolutely love this game. So much so that I’ve renamed Piccolo Brutus. Everyone knows He wants those corner places, all of them. He fights me tooth and nail constantly. I play and play and play., cause he’s the trusty player I don’t have to wait days to make his turn.
Updates every day?
Nice app but cool it with the too frequent updates (both iOS and macOS).
Great except one thing
The app has 8 play levels, from dead easy to very difficult. I’ve only won once, by a thin margin, on level 8. This would be five stars if there was the ability to take back even one move. Primarily this is important because touch spots aren’t always right. It can also be useful for investigating alternate play at critical junctions.
je ne peux jouer ce que je veux
je n'ai pas de choix, et pourquoi l'adversaire peut il jpuer plusieurs coups?
Best Othello app
I’ve tried many Othello apps over the years, and this one is easily my favorite. The AI is great, and I don’t think I’ll ever beat the highest levels. No ads, no annoying features, just a simple app to play Othello. Love it!
awful game, causing vile arguments.
awful game, causing vile arguments.
Review:
This game is pretty good. I like how you can change the difficulty. I don’t like how it doesn’t let you unlock the different themes freely, without purchasing it online…good game though.
Beautiful Othello app, but no players matchmaking?
This is an absolutely beautiful Othello app. The AI is very well implemented and is beatable even for absolute beginners. The interface is beautiful. However the random matchmaking feature has not worked for me. I cannot tell if this is due to some problem connecting to the server or if there are no players in the pool for online games. The opponent name spot is always “…” and there is no other feedback as to what is going on.
The best one ive tried on ios
Most of the ones ive tried are either driving me nuts w ads or too easy. I found an obscure one a while back that was ad free and just had 1 level. It destroyed me like 199/200 games and i deleted it. I was trying to find it again today and found this instead. It has 8 levels and i beat it like 95% at level 4 and 0% at level 5. When i click random online game, i just get … for player 2 and its my turn. Not sure what to do there. Maybe i need to have notifications on or use imessage, idk. But overall its plenty good and doesnt bug me. Only thing id want would be like a learning mode where it puts a number in the available squares to let me know where im making mistakes. But im quite happy with it just the way it is. Im gonna cut off my internet and see if it plays offline. I assume it does. Then for some reason, im gonna install wzebra on a computer and see if this beats it:) Ive got a crypto question… So i know these 20 word combos for bitcoin wallets make guessing them like hitting a grain of sand if the earth was made of sand but theyre only unique to 4 letters and theres more of them than there are bitcoins. So guessing one if there are billions of grains must be easier. I know it practically impossible but it bugs me that i could buy bitcoin, put it on a hardware wallet in a safe and never touch it and “youre saying theres a chance” it could disappear without ever opening the door:) and then ya got ibm building cryogenic chandeliers… how safe can something based on software, math problems, and humans be? Youd like a guy named steve gibson on the security now podcast
not impressed
i downloaded this game and after playing one game. i found that i was not allowed to put my disc where i wanted to. the programme high lighted by small circles where it wanted me to plae my disc. this game would be better if you hadnt programmed it to cheat. i will stick to the actual real game in future. perhaps this app should be given 5 stars for cheating.
Piccolo
I often play the Picollo-bot, and change the setting level so that we are evenly matched. I have had many entertaining games.
No restart button
there isnt a restart button , or at least i cant find it. the level one is too easy but the level 2 is too hard
Request
As you know from my past review, I absolutely love this app, it’s the best OTHELLO app in existence, and it is so kind of y’all to labor in love and make it free… I do have a request though; could you add a mode that allows the user to lay out the pieces as they want them laid out, so that users can practice different mid game and end game strategies against themselves (or even the AI). Thanks for your consideration.
The AI Cheats
The AI cheats. It will take 6 turns in a row and win.
The best, with 1 weakness
The higher level AIs are easier to beat, if you try to take as many pieces as possible, you can end the game prematurely. I’ve won against Level 8 several times, like the following sequence: E6F6G6D6C3F5D7D3C2E7E8. Can’t seem to use this strategy on Level 1 though, no idea why.
Level 2 seems too hard
Seems like a big step up from level 1 to level 2. Always win at 1 but usually totally thrashed on 2.
Amazing game!
I love this app so much and it teaches me to play the game and the design of the game is so simple to pick up and play by yourself or with another opponent.
Some buttons don't work
When I press the setting button it doesn't do anything.
Good game, a minor question
Excellent logic, easy to use. One minor issue, however… when you finish a game it doesn’t do anything; it just sits there. Would be nice if it went back home and maybe even showed you your score and a running tally of your win/loss record.
this gam is ok
good game BUT the ai bots are too good
Very Good App
How wonderful to have a well-designed and well-programmed Othello app that is super customizable, good on battery and contains no ads or tracking. I applaud the developer for doing everything right. And I appreciate that it saves your game if you have to close the app, so you can play in short spurts. I also appreciate that is free but that you can buy themes for a fair price to support the game. I will be buying at least one of the theme packs to give support. I highly recommend this well-done game.
Too difficult
Got this as a new game for my son to learn and play but even at the easiest level he is having trouble learning and winning. The plan was to increase the difficulty as he got older but we'll be deleting this app now. I suggest reversi or something like that.
Needs a AI vs AI
It’s enjoyable to play against the AI but I would like you see gameplay to practice by watching AI vs AI on all the difficulty levels available. Everything is fine and I enjoy using the app
Good game but I hate losing!
Piccolo is ok but who's that little anime girl?
Amazing and unique!
I’d never heard of a game like this before but after playing for a little bit I am addicted! It took me a little while to get good at the game and understand some strategies but once I did I’ve loved playing.
This game is a lie
I swear right when I’m about to win this games AI does a loop round my back side and hits me with like 7 different moves yet I can only do 1 per turn. This game is rigged and doesn’t like losing. Reporting for hate crime right now because I’m not having it😤
simple and well done
Simple but well made. I love it! Would be nice to have the cute chibi illustrations of Erica Li in the game in some way. Like maybe when you do a nice trick then there is chibi appearing and saying "Well done!"... idk.. And a male version in the same color scheme would be nice for the bundled stickers :) Merci, beau boulot!
Difficile
En mode non connecté, il est impossible de gagner contre le robot qui joue, c'est agaçant!
