Don’t play online
Offline available modes (local multiplayer & computer) feel quite similar to chain reaction classic. For this alone, it almost earns the 5 star rating.
Online mode however, places you primarily against pre-made profiles to make the hard-difficulty equivalent bot seem human. Consistently, if given the chance, these “online players” will take a second or two to analyze a complex field, and will select the correct spot to guarantee a win with a single chain reaction.
This would be okay, but i believe I and most other people would rather the game only allow human players to play the online mode, or, at the very least, don’t let the losses against these bots count towards the win/loss score.
The fact that it seems like there are not many, if any, active players in the online pool which forces you to play against these obvious online bot variations is what drives me to lower this to a 3 star for the app as a whole.
If you exclusively plan to play local multiplayer with a friend, or against the computer, then I highly recommend downloading and playing.
