User reviews

Super zum Lernen. Nicht verschenkbar.

Sehr schönes Spiel, gut implementiert. 2 Spieler auf einem Gerät und über Game Center. Gibt’s nicht oft. Und kein Abomodell!! Da stimmt einfach alles. Sehr schade, dass man die App nicht verschenken kann, sonst hättet ihr jetzt ein paar Kunden mehr.

Great except…

Great except for the neon green indicators for every possible move when pressing any potential tile… takes out the human element of being able to miss potential setups etc. Feels like an enormous crutch / tutorial level of hand holding. Would be great to be able to turn this off so it plays like an actual tabled game.

Response from developer

Go to Settings and turn Off the Show last move option to disable those green indicators. Looking forward to those 5 stars! :)

Yay hive is back

I’m so glad to see Hive back on phones. It’s one of the best board games and this new apps ai has shown me I am really really bad at this game. But that’s good because now I have to actually learn.
Great game and the fact that you can play the base game for free without restrictions shows a real respect for the players .. there’s no annoying ads or freemium garbage.. I’ll gladly pay to unlock the full game for that reason alone (plus I want my ladybug)

Welcome back to Hive! Don't worry, the AI is tough, but you'll get the hang of it. Thank you for supporting us and keeping the game ad-free. That Ladybug is waiting for you! 🐞

Lowkey this game is hard

Hey the game is broken

The rules is if there’s ever a point where one player can’t legally move anywhere, the next player takes their turn instead. The game doesn’t know this and it just freezes with no one being able to move

Great digital version though!!!

Response from developer

You're mistaken, the Hive Game app knows this rule and works perfectly. You just haven't found the legal move on the board.
