All the mechanics are there
Sun Feb 04 2024 Phrome22And it’s an enjoyable experience but be warned it is not a beautiful or elegant looking game. But despite that it is fun to play and it mimics the roll and write very well.
A couple of wish list items. Larger font! I’m getting older and even with readers on my ipad it’s hard to read. The licenses can be tapped to get larger but they do not go away after tapping agin. You have to wait for the game to shrink them. Not everything can be enlarged either.
Some of the background choices make the iconography hard to see and read in the fish area especially.
The dice fall to the bottom of the screen and block the income track. Luckily on my iPad I can go to landscape mode which lets me see the income track. Otherwise it’s a no go. The income track is important information.
Would love to see a undo button. Otherwise I have to be very careful I don’t a tap a die I don’t want.
I’m guessing it’s a money and time issue for some of the graphic design decision but the project seems a bit rushed. It’s one of my favorite games and I hope that you are going to continue to improve on it. I do appreciate that you took the time to digitize this game though. Thank you!
Great after figuring out scoring
Sun Apr 14 2024 WRS15743I’m revising prior reviews because now that I’ve finally figured out how scoring works, and that you can use star actions to mark either sheet (not just the one you’re looking at), I’m getting better scores. I don’t score real high, but it still is very satisfying.
I applaud the developer for making this game premium at a fair price with no ads. I also love the design and the way the dice rolls and checking boxes work. And the way AI works (to block you) is excellent, it makes you feel like a human is playing against you, but without the stress of trying to beat an AI’s score. Brilliant.
Once I figured out how all the mechanics work, I’m enjoying this game immensely. A good tutorial would have helped. It took playing a lot and reading the rules several times for things to click.
I’m glad I stuck with it, because this is an excellent solo game, that plays well and is priced fairly. It could use a little battery optimization, but it’s not too bad. No complaints really. Ignore my prior reviews before things clicked.
Thank you developer! This might be my favorite phone game now. Even though I always score as a “deckhand” LOL
Great Implementation but no Multiplayer
Sat Dec 16 2023 Rj1921This is a great game to get a digital version of and it all works as expected. Some of the UI is not 100% intuitive but it doesn’t take long to learn. My only gripe is that there is no simulated multiplayer. It looses its replay ability with only having the solo mode available (in the solo mode stuff is crossed out on your own sheet making it unavailable, instead of trying to beat someone head to head in scoring).
App Crashed Every Time
Mon Feb 26 2024 BuzzbapneonI really want to enjoy this game, and love the first two rounds I make it through each time I try to play it, but the app has crashed every time I’ve tried to play (about 5 or 6 times now).
Tried deleting the app and redownloading it, but no luck. It still crashes. Double-checked that my phone was compatible with the app, and it is, so… I’m not sure what else can be done from my end, unfortunately.
Hope if there’s an issue with bugs, they’re fixed soon so I can make it through the game, because the game itself seems really fun!!
Great iteration of the actual dice game
Fri May 03 2024 MVP2024The game plays great solo, but it is more fun with others - I just learned that a pass-n-play version is in beta testing, which makes this app even better. But I’m sure most fans are eagerly awaiting for an online multiplayer mode!
Question
Sun Nov 26 2023 #StrangerThingsWhen getting a STAR during the Town phase, how do you change to the other sheet if you want to use the Star to mark off something in the boat area (sheet)? Every playthrough video I have seen allows this but I can’t seem to find a way to change sheets on the digital game.
Neat game - good digital adaption
Wed Jan 24 2024 kind_des_abgrundsI like the game and also how it is designed for the iPhone. However, since the last update (24th Jan 2024) the game crashes a lot of times during one of the fishing phases.
Otherwise I enjoy playing this one a lot
Decent but what about my top LOCAL score?
Sun Nov 19 2023 Lord GekI'm enjoying the game, and while the global leaderboards seem decently implemented, why not include my own local all time and weekly high scores? I'd far rather track my own progress over how I rank in the world as I'll likely not even be able to make the top 100 all time or weekly.
Good game with glitches
Fri Feb 02 2024 C.K.W.Good game, but it crashes quite a bit and doesn’t save progress. There have been framerate issues as well, particularly when playing for longer than a half an hour.
love this app, but now crashing
Fri Jan 26 2024 mfjazzI absolutely love this game, it’s so fun figuring out all the possibilities and shooting for the high scoreboard!
unfortunately the latest update has introduced significant glitches, mostly with the fishing phase. Now the game often crashes, i can’t complete a game most times on my phone. MAJOR bummer.
The achievements also would be fun to shoot for - can I get 45 fish in one game, for example - BUT nope, the ones I do complete simply aren’t recorded.
Will be glad to update review if issues are fixed, want it to be five stars!!
