Game is amazing; app crashes

Game is fantastic! Kudos to north star for getting a mobile app going also. It plays well—when it doesn’t crash totally!!

Love the game :)

I enjoy playing the Oceans app since I can’t get a group together for a game in person, unfortunately it seems to randomly crash every once in a while. I’m thankful that there’s an auto save function so I don’t lose the game I was playing, but would like the crash issue looked into

Beautiful game, great theme, but crashes all the time

Game is fun to play, medium AI is significantly better than easy. Unfortunately this game crashes multiple times in a single play through making it basically unplayable. Please fix this!

Très bon jeu

Très bon jeu! Il n'est pas toujours facile de comprendre la signification des cartes, mais à force de jouer on finit par assimiler. J'aurais aimé que l'application du jeu soit aussi disponible en français puisque le jeu de plateau se joue dans les 2 langues.

Fun, but crashes a lot after purchase

Crashes tend to happen later in your games

Love the game .... till it crashes

Bought the .99 cent upgrade because I love the game and wanted more cards. Now all the game does is crash. This needs to be fixed immediately. It has been two months since the last update and I have seen similar comments since then. I will gladly alter my rating when this is resolved..

Good game, buggy app

I like the game, I find it a well woven web both enjoyably complex while being smooth and easy play. The mechanics used in the app work well, though there definitely could be an improvement in the explanation of the rules. The developers have made a few choices when writing the app for the various vagaries of play which are not explained or noted in the fairly short rules.

At that point I would have rated it a 5 Star happily. But as I was enjoying it I purchased the expansion, for the very reasonable price of a dollar. This gives you a few more cards for greater replay ability, but mostly a level higher AI to play. As the base AI’s are easy enough that you’d have to try to loose after you understand the basic gameplay. The Medium AI however is really unstable. As in at least half the time I try to play the game crashes, generally repeatedly. So it’s the main draw to buy the upgrade, but doesn’t work half the time! And I have a fairly new iPhone, so it shouldn’t be a hardware issue. That’s why I had to downgrade my rating. I hope the app team can get the app working better, and that the company as a whole can continue creating good games like this.

So in essence, get this app and try the game. But if you like it go get the physical game instead of trying to play it more on the app by upgrading.

Amazing app

Really well put together app , the game feels the same as the board game , I wish there would be all the deep card available but I’m still hoping they are coming ! Great job !

Great game

This is a very fun game but could you make it so that you can play against more than 1 AI because that would be wonderful :) Could you also add more deep cards?

Good game, except crushing

I used to play this board game a lot, so I love this app. But there are way too many crushing issues. Sometimes it’s random, sometimes the app just can’t handle a specific situation, like whenever the AI is trying to play the kraken card, app will crash. Please fix these problems, they’re annoying! Thanks
