Abalone® App Reviews

Really nice logic board game with opportunity to play with AI or real opponents on the internet or in 2 players mode. Graphics and sounds are really cool, but resolution is poor. Please, fix it) And restart button is not working in the level mode.

Its an OK game, I guess, but in trying to make it "harder" as you progress, instead they just made it more annoying. Its a strategy game, but for no reason at all, they start giving you time limits, so you have to rush and dont really have time to think about your moves. If you stop to think, you could be playing the waiting game, and then because you took a second to long to think about a move, you lose. Thats not fun at all, its just annoying. If the fun part of the game is thinking and strategy, you shouldnt have to rush through it, you should be able to think and strategize.

Change Brazil Theme to normal style! I didnt pay for FIFA! FIFA isnt cool and this theme is ugly! Back to the roots.

Top gameplay top feeling

This is supposed to be a strategy game but many of the games have a time limit of 10-15 seconds per move. Theres no time to think and strategy. It forced you to play randomly. Also a super frustration is the control of the marbles. Its easy to push the wrong marbles and when you tried to correct the error it zooms in and theres no time to zoom out and move the right marbles causing the time up and losing the game. Not worth the asking price unless the game is redesigned.

If you have played the Abalone board game, and have been looking for the portable version. Look no more, this is it. Enjoy it as much as I do... Its worth every penny!

Great version

Very strategic game. Lots of fun. If youve enjoyed the board game youll love the mobile version. Functions very smoothly.

Fun game. Simple with good strategy elements.

Its a good game, fun and challenging, but its hard to move the pieces accurately on the iPhone. Theyre too small and my fingers cover up the pieces. Probably would be better on an iPad. (Or get skinnier fingers☺)

Looks good, plays a good game, interface took a little getting used to. My only complaint is that there is no tutorial or instructions on how to play, had to go elsewhere to learn.

I love the board game, and this port seems to be a pretty faithful adaptation. I would love to see optional modes with more than two players or online play.

Very true to the physical board game, even managing to provide a bit of the tactile sense with the movement mechanics and sound effects. The optional peaceful Japanese background music is a nice touch! Well done Bulkypix!

Just like playing the original game, only downfall is lack of support for online play. But it is one of my favorites anyway!

Good adaption of the board game with a nice interface. AI is challenging.

My dad has been searching for a way to play this game online forever, he has two sets of the real one and a mini-version, but every time I searched online or the App Store there was no matches or good versions. When I searched for Abalone again today, I was surprised they finally have it! Dads gonna love it.

A flawless and stylish translation of my old favorite to the virtual realm. It even includes a lengthy training campaign, which I wish I had when I was learning the game.

Well online multiplayer launched today, Only to find out you must pay for tokens to play online?! Total bull&$@#! This game is best when you play another human and to charge for online play after purchasing the app is ridiculous! Boo! Fix it for better rating!

Interesting

Finally! So glad to finally have this great game as an app. Id searched for it for years and finally its here. Not only that, but its very well done and easy to maneuver. If you like this game, youll enjoy this app.
