Really Glad This App Exists

Love it, hope to get a real version soon. Only complaint I have is Level 8 Vs the computer is currently impassible.

Developer Response ,

Hey 3E951,
thanks for your feedback!

I fixed your bug and now the level is playable.

I would be happy if you give 5 stars if you like the update :)

Kinda in detail?

So, first, I had to turn the music off because while its nice its eerie and repetitive. The computer doesn’t scale much in difficulty and the AI seems entirely random. I dont have much incentive to continue playing because there’s nothing to do but win over and over with no difficulty increase. Protection being the default setting is kind of annoying, because the game ends too fast and it lowers the stakes. Maybe try adding some characters to interact with for the tutorial? And let us unlock different designs?

Hey Mad Pinetree Blogs,

thanks for your feedback!

My question for you:

- Would you like to have no music at all?
- In the next update I will change the default settings because multiple people asked for it.
- Unlock new designs and characters is a great idea. Thank you!

Do no hesitate to contact if you have more ideas in mind :)

Almost Knucklebones

I found this app while looking for a way to play a game like CotL’s Knucklebones. Although buggy, it was wonderful. Recent updates have added additional rules, and pushed this game away from the original style of play. The app continues to improve, but steps further away from the game it promised to be.

Developer Response ,

Hey BlackFridayFaust, thanks for your feedback!

Because a lot of people asked for it I added the well-known rules as a choosable game mode.

I would be happy if you give 5 stars if you like the update :)
