  • Great game but…

    A chat and add friends you play feature would be great
  • Great game!

    It takes a little practice to get the throw strength, but once you get that, it’s fun.

    You retain the hammer after blanking an end and that’s fun. I’m no Sandra Schmurler but it’s fun pretending, and this is nowhere near as cold as a rink.
  • Solid game, would like 2 minor updates

    Great game, really enjoy it. Would love 2 minor changes:

    1. Add an extra end if the game ends in a tie.
    2. Ability to change the underglow of the broom used for aim to a colour other than white. When not in the house it blends in with the white with the ice and makes it harder to be accurate.
  • Too complicated

    Can’t understand how it works
  • Waste of time and effort.

    Does not matter what you do with your direct actions a total game of luck. Tried to play with skill - does not respond Delete
  • Realistic and Fun

    Bottom Line at the Top: Buy this curling game first. It is the one you will keep anyway, so don’t waste your time or money on others as I did. Why do I say that, keep reading.

    After watching curling on the Olympics, I had to try it in person. I took an introductory lesson at the Evergreen Curling Club, and wow, it’s about 1000 times harder than it looks. Complete new respect for curlers of all levels.

    After realizing that I was not curling material, but still loving the sport, I thought I would see if it was available digitally. Of course there is, isn’t everything available digitally these days 😉, and many different ones too.

    This game was not my first pick, but it is the only one left on my devices. The realism of the physics is amazing. Speed, friction, rotation, react just as it does on the ice. Even better actually, because I am still vertical after throwing a rock. I always saw my rocks from down on the ice level view. Dang that slider strapped to one shoe is slippery. I spent more time on the ice in one lesson than I did in all 10+ years of ice hockey.

    Don’t let the price of this game fool you, it is worth 5 times it’s cost. Yes I would like a better way to rotate the rock as that is the one thing I don’t feel I have real control of. But since I can’t offer any better solution, I will live with it. Otherwise I wouldn’t change anything. Oh sure, the author could use 3D rocks, digitized brooms and ice, and then charge the $5 that this version is worth. But I doubt the digital curling market is large enough to ever recover that investment.

    So just spend 1/2 your coffee tip and go digital curling. You will have just as much fun without the cold ice, purple bruises and embarrassment of thinking you are in shape and can certainly do something as “easy” as curling. You aren’t. Respect curlers!

  • Need to update rules

    The App needs to be updated to include correct rules for doubles play. The starting rocks are not placed I the correct positions and it does not appear to disallow removing stones in the house before 5 rocks are in play.

    Otherwise the game is the best curling game I’ve played . But the they to get the real game rules up to date.

  • iOS 14?

    I just upgraded to iOS 14 and now the game doesn’t work properly. When I try to do a Nudge, it just quits. Please advise.

    Developer Response

    Sorry to hear! Game Centre is supported and should work fine. The "Friends" button lets you invite your brother, or play with a random player. When you start up the app there should be a brief Game Centre banner saying "Welcome back". If you don't see that try iPhone Settings > Game Centre and verify your account is enabled. Otherwise try rebooting (power off, power on) your phone/iPad, that may also fix it. Hope one of those options works. Cheers.
  • Computer controlled shots

    You have no chance of defeating this game in the hard section because all there shots are perfectly made by the computer. You have a 10% chance on the easier ones. Good thing this game is free, not worth paying for.
  • Great game

    I really enjoy this curling game. The challenges are really good practice, and the games against the AI are good practice as well, although an experienced curler should have little trouble beating the AI after some practice.

    I really enjoy and appreciate that, like real curling, weight of shots can still be tricky to make perfect, which keeps it tricky.

    My only wish-list item would be a chat feature within the game: if the thrower could write a little comment / chirp / trash / talk after their shot and would push to the other player, that’d add a level of fun (currently I just text who ever I am playing).

    Great game!!!
