Ratings and Reviews
Great fun solo, but disappointed with multiplayer
After really enjoying playing solo, I talked my wife into getting this app so we could play against each other. Rather than the engaging experience from the solo game, where I could watch every move my AI opponents would make, as they made them - multiplayer just pops up a plain text message “your opponent is making a move” and you wait, bored, until they finish. Thought it was going to be fun, instead it was dull. What a wasted opportunity.
Crashing recently
I play the co-op game solo a lot, but recently it started randomly getting itself into a freeze state where the only way I have found to get out is to quit the app and then start a new game. (There was a different freeze it used to do that you could get out of by quitting and restarting, but that didn’t work with the new behavior.) It’s super frustrating when you are doing well and then it hangs.
Needs some work
Overall, I was stoked to have the implementation of expansion options, but…there are numerous crash bugs making it unplayable…70% of the time.
Computer players lock up when trying to make a word. This has appeared with more cards on hand, not fewer.
Computer players (smarter AI) have not made words, or have made suboptimal choices. The first is more problematic than the second. After watching them make ‘FA’ or ‘SH’, I question them missing ‘THE’ or SO’.
Computer players lock up while buying letters. I appreciate being able to skip their turn, but that just gets the game moving. It does not solve underlying issues.
Finally, similar to PAPERBACK VOL1., the double score adjacency bonus does not always work.
Again, thanks for putting the work in.
Some more tweaks will get it where it needs to be.
