Mancala. in IOS

★★★★★ Mancala

I love Mancala and I am glad that I can play it easily on an app like this. However, there are a few things that I wish were changed or updated. First, the single player modes are too limited. The AI has a very predictable pattern, and there is only one level open to users who didn’t pay. If at least a few more levels become available, users may not only be more attracted to the game, but also be convinced that spending money on this game could be worth it. Right now, I am not interested in spending money on this app because I’m not sure if the payed-version-AI will be significantly different. Second, there is no other method to gain diamonds other than spending real money. In most games, there are other methods to gain game money other than spending actual money, such as watching ads, completing tasks, etc., which are some things I was expecting to see. I am not good at Mancala so sometimes I just need to spend diamonds to get hints when solving puzzles, but after I spent them on 2-3 hints I was stuck at a certain level because I ran out. I’m new to this app so I don’t want to spend money on it already. I think that it is important for a game to keep the users engaged until they start to really get into it and consider spending money on it. These are personal opinions so idk if a lot of people will agree on them, but I thought that it may be helpful if I write an honest review from a newbie’s pov. The game itself is well organized the gameplay is enjoyable!
