Leave a Review The Last Rock Curling
Cool game
Good game play to keep my brain working on strategy. Suggestions: perhaps you should allow turn selection before swiping the rock to throw. Also, I found myself playing the back half of the house aka: sweep opponent’s rock alas that feature wasn’t supported. Thank you for a great time filler.r.Ich
Great curling game!
This is a very enjoyable curling simulation and is totally worth more than a dollar. Some reviews mention the lack of instructions, which is a fair criticism. But if you visit the developer's web site you will find instructions and tutorials. Checking those out will help with the initial process of getting used to the controls which does take some practice.
Here are some hints to expedite your enjoyment:
1. Swipe up from your rock to throw it, and it's the speed of your swipe that determines the speed of the rock.
2. Learn to read the "speedometer" on the screen. You can't make a good shot without it. It tells you how far your rock is going to go. Practice with different throw speeds and how they read on the speedometer and where the rock ends up.
3. To continually sweep you just need to hold your finger down in front of the rock. No need to repeatedly tap or rub. If you sweep the whole way you can greatly increase the speed (and thus distance) of your stone, and you'll see this represented on the speedometer as well.
4. The only way to control the amount of curl is to control the weight (speed) either with your initial throw or by sweeping. Learn to do it!
With those three tips you can quickly learn to control your rocks. Some reviews complain that's it's not a good game and all of us who love it must be bots. Those people haven't taken the time to learn about the controls or perhaps even basic curling concepts. Trust me I am not a bot!Show lessiPhoner510

Awesome game. I’m just getting into the real world of curling and this is perfect to teach strategies and rules. Awesome!Harley Curler
Never figured this out, challenging interface
Never got it to work rightChetX
Seriously not worth downloading
I don't know how many bots were used to leave all these positive reviews but this game is a joke.
There is not much of a relationship between how hard or lite you stroke to get the stone sliding. The curl is totally random regardless how much you tilt the phone. The sweeping action does nothing at all.
I even went as far as to rest the phone flat on a table and swipe left and right...the rock still goes wherever.Show lessO lineman

Sweeping is just on or off, hard and light does the same. Watch the red/green dial while sweeping - this is the sliding distance gauge. You can tap the right/left curl icons at the top of the screen that appear temporarily to set curl as an alternative to twisting the phone. Note that the phone has to stay facing you when you rotate it - just rotate it to 2o'clock or 10 o'clock. There's a few more tips on blog via the App Support link in App Store or in game about screen. Happy Curling! [Edit] Note I've posted a video tutorial and FAQ that gives tips on how to play. It's available via "App Support" link in App Store or directly at https://damianthedeveloper.wordpress.com/. Hope this helps!Very easy to get used to
I just started using this and am having an easy time understanding and getting used to the controls. I’m very much looking forward to getting good at it. Thanks for the work you’re done.Captain dan 66

Best curling game on iOS
Only downside is that it uses Gamecenter to invite friends.@Codylox
This could be better if
This game has real possibilities. However, I would like to be able to ask some questions even after going through the tutorial more than once. For example. What does, “no handle “ mean”?
My problem is that there is no way to get to the developers. None. Trying to get on the website gives no place to simply ask something, although I can subscribe to a blog. There is no link for the developers themselves, so I’m left in the dark.
If this is corrected, I can raise the rating.
One more thought. Pressing a ? button opens a set of instructions different from the tutorial. It refers to buttons in the upper right corner which do not exist, for example.Show lessDocdithers
