Happy

I love how educational the game is without realizing it 🙂 u guys should do more like this one maybe an outer space version?

It’s fun but frustrating

I didn’t even purchase the full game yet and each time I get near the end of a session, the app crashes, resulting in the entire game rebooting to the main menu. It doesn’t make for satisfying play if you can’t even finish the game!

New update delete apps purchase

I had this game since the beginning. I had purchased ingame add-on for extra card. I lose it when game updated from lite version to full version. Game ask to buy it again.

Please give me back what I’ve already purchased!

It’s not free to play

I installed this played the tutorial but before I could get any further I found out you have to buy a pack of cards at £0.89 each! I have uninstalled it.

Fun but buggy

There is a lot of work that still needs to be done to clear up bugs. However, it is still a fun game.

Oceans

As a huge fan of Evolution, Climate and Flight, i had to check out Oceans. I own the print copy but enjoy the digital as well. The Pass and Play feature is a favorite.

Love/Hate

The game itself is great. I played Evolution first and figured I’d enjoy this jut as much and i do. But the game is constantly crashing while i play. Hopefully this gets fixed soon.

This is my third time getting the game. Here is why...

I love this game, in a way. It is awesome, however... it is SUPER confusing. There is way to much for me to take in all at once, by the time I have no hints or help I feel unsure what I am doing. Please, do whatever you can to make it feel less all over the place. Hints, or a bit more time with the tutorials would be very helpful for me. Thank you.

Great board game, incomplete video game

Oceans shot right up to one of my favorite board games immediately upon release. I had backed the game on Kickstarter, and had been looking forward to the video game that was advertised in the box. Took longer than was advertised, so long I forgot to keep checking and missed it for a while, but that’s to be expected with small studios and was not that big a deal.

As an adaptation it recreates the gameplay of the table very swimmingly, not a complete Deep deck, again not too big an issue with how long it takes to program a hundred unique cards into a game, but what knocks a star off is that the game is limited to two of players. When you have four it really feels like you have an actual ecosystem to compete in, with lots of species to interact with. One on one is still absolutely worth playing and a blast, but without at least the option for four players this just feels like it’s not the full Evolution series experience. If the Devs ever add 3+player options (I have the bonus options for my tabletop that allows up to six players! That’s a little past what I’m asking but would be so cool) I would immediately bump this up to a five star rating. Still going to enjoy it till then.

Hello! Thank you for playing both the board game and digital versions of Oceans. We really appreciate your support, especially backing us on Kickstarter. We think multiplayer would be a great thing to add one day. Have fun in the reef!

Great game but….

Great game implementation. Too bad is unplayable, crashing at the end of games. I will give it 5 stars, because it deserves it, once this is solved.
