Lovely game!

Very nice implementation of the game, clean graphics and all the options you need!

Too freaking hard

...and no fun to play.

A lower price and even one update would help

The author released it and them abandoned it. It could be great, but bugs and a slightly unfriendly interface keep it from more stars. Just one update and it could be a 5 star app.

Awesome

I love this application. It is a great way to learn Arimaa which is difficult because there is a small player base. I have not found any bugs but have not played more than a few games so far.

I do wish it support iPad as a universal app. By that, I'd like a full size and landscape screen.

Maybe hints and/or rules explanation when I try an unallowed move, too.

I think the price is fair, but a lower price might encourage more people to get into the game. I did use the
Lite version first.

Good beginner game (excepting some 1st release bugs)

Haha...I bought this app one day before the price drop. Oh well, I hope my $10 will encourage the developers to work on some new releases. Yes, it's more expensive than most apps, but the market it much smaller...and it will be worth the price if I improve enough to beat my friend in a game for cash.

I'm a new player, and the AI is certainly tough enough to give me a challenge. I can win about half the games on novice, I haven't tried the tougher levels yet. The interface is nice, and I love the elephant icon! I prefer the smoothness of the movement in the iPod version to the internet gameroom. Set-up is certainly faster when you can jump multiple spaces. It takes only 4 clicks to set up my favorite initial position.

Sadly, there seem to be quite a few bugs in this first release. Occasionally one piece will move on top of another, or will have strangely restricted movement (I assume due to a phantom piece near it). This usually signals a crash. The game is lost when it restarts. I'm wary of starting games because so many end in this way.

I'm sure once these issues are resolved, it will be a very enjoyable app...
