can’t access my purchase since the recent update

I love the game. Quite a lot of fun if you love strategy game with simple rules and lots of replaybility. It does crash sometimes, but not a big deal. However, the recent update also cause my purchases to disappear on iPad and click restore purchase button just stall at loading. Please fix.

The disappearing app

Wonderful game, especially with the variety of scenario cards presenting different challenges — but abruptly, after three months, the game will no longer load. Tried deleting the app and then downloading anew, but still a dead app rather than a game. A major disappointment. Please fix!

Neat and Beautiful Game

I love this game because there’s foundational strategy and then the deep and scenario cards create many different situations that you find ways to adapt to…so it’s very mentally stimulating along with some cool art. It is tiny on a phone, but you can hold your finger on a card and it magnifies it to read.

Thank you for the five star review! We really appreciate it. Have fun in the Ocean!

Game is buggy

Game is buggy, sometimes I cannot click some cards in my hand. Sometimes when I pick deep card, the picture is missing

Well developed Ui for game that cuts itself short

I’ve played this game in person, and have always felt that it plays fast and ends abruptly. This online version plays pretty well, there’s definitely some missing features though. Not sure why gameplay is set up only for two players at a time. You can play either against the AI or another person in the pass and play mode.

Thank you for your feedback! We always appreciate hearing from players. A feature which adds more players to the game is a neat idea and it's one we hope to add in one day. Be sure to keep Oceans regularly updated to receive new content as soon as it's released.

Brilliant

I played the board game with some friends and I had to get the mobile version. Runs perfectly and is beautiful and tons of fun to play. Well done devs!

Worse than it looks

First of all, despite claiming to be the free, full board game, you still have to pay to play not only with family and friends, but any of the AI that are actually challenging. Secondly, The game is basically an exact copy of the other North Star game, Evolution, just with an aquatic twist. Overall, it’s probably not worth the money if you already bought the other game, and a borderline scam for claiming to be the free full game.

Thank you for rating Oceans, we always appreciate hearing feedback from players. In regards to price, we wanted to give players an opportunity to try the game for free before they buy it. The full version does come with more difficult AI and a few more cards added in. We think having an online mutliplayer feature would be great to have one day, but we're currently focusing on other content. The digital version of Oceans is based off of its predecessor board game of the same name. Be sure to check in with us again later for more features and content.

Great game, a few bugs

I wish there was a report bug option so I didn’t have to do this in a review. Playing the medium AI, some cards like Fast Metabolism crash/freeze the game. Also sometimes have an issue where the app skips straight to discard without letting you choose a deep card. The deep card option is then provided after, but you can’t choose one and only selecting No Deep allows you to continue the game. I have no doubt these bugs will be fixed soon. Super awesome game; love it more than Evolution!

Hello! A recent update has addressed issues players were experiencing with crashing. Please try a few games and let us know in this review if you experience further crashing. If a crash does occur, please let us know by sending in an in-game feedback report.

Seems interesting but

Played tutorial then started my first AI game. Ended up not being able to make a move and some cards I could not press to view. When I relaunched app I could drag a card off and move fish around. Kind of a major bug if you have to reopen an app to fix it.

Confusing and Convoluted

Tried going through the tutorial. Sorry, but trying to remember all the rules is too overwhelming. Deleted.
