Really well done

Very well done, lots of an8mation and easy to understand - fun!

Gute App mit fehlenden Funktionen

Die app ist im Grunde sehr gelungen und mit dem Brettspiel zusammen macht es auch wirklich sehr viel Spaß dieses Spiel zu spielen. Aber wir haben beim Spielen ein paar Dinge vermisst, weshalb es nur 4 Sterne gibt. Folgendes hat uns gefehlt.
A) Sobald man das Spiel gestartet hat, hat man keine Möglichkeit mehr noch mal die Spielanweisung die es vorher gab anzusehen.
B) Hat man alle Gegner besiegt, kann man nicht einfach sagen „geschafft“. Man kann nur aufgeben oder muss warten bis die Sanduhr abgelaufen ist.
C) Hinweise die in der App vorkommen und die wichtig sind, weil man etwas bestimmtes ausführen muss, sind oftmals nicht deutlich genug. Man verpaßt sie und führt sie evtl. zu spät aus.

A und B fanden wir oftmals sehr störend, aber ansonsten ist die App sehr gelungen. Wünschen wir uns natürlich, dass es mal eine Erweiterung zu dem Spiel geben wird. Nach 4 Jahren aber wohl eher nicht mehr, so wie es aussieht. Sehr sehr schade!

Bad game

This game is very confusing. I doesn’t make any sense

Soo confusing

Yo I can’t get through lv 1 if there was a choice I would give it half a star

Excellent for kids

The app is very well made and accompanies the board game in an unobtrusive way.
It helps to setup each round and then has a timer with nice background music and pre-warning of the end of the round via red flashes.
It rates the played round as well.
Ideal would be more translations but it’s not too much text and most is available in the translated paper manual.
