Reviews of Piccolo

  • I love the game

    It is the best game ever
    The AI is great and very intelligent, it makes the game very entertaining
    I would recommend this for anyone who likes a challenge
    👌👌👌
  • Well done! Just this...

    I find AI level 4 very easy but 5 very hard. Could one or the other be adjusted?

    Also I accidentally tap the screenshot button semi-regularly when I wanted to Undo / step back. It triggers even if i move my finger before lifting (unlike many apps) so there's no avoiding the hassle of waiting for a screenshot, cancelling, going back to history page, finding the step I wanted and tapping the correct button.
  • Fantastic game

    The game is good and the sound effects are calming, but there are a few things that might need to be improved, such as increasing the randomness of the openings, I found that the ai openings don't change if the chosen ai level doesn't change, but this can be stale if the ai has already been defeated with the same move before, so I hope that the ability to randomize ai openings can be increased
