### 4/5 — Best breather app

*2026-02-16*

As someone who is constantly go go go at work I love this app for it’s simple gameplay. I can take a minute and play a round for a quick break. It requires enough brain power to keep you focused on the moment but not so much you feel taxed after. I play knucklebones at home with dice but it’s nice to have a mobile way to take it with me. I wish there was a little more to the shop and achievements but that’s small potatoes. If you are looking for an easy to use app and an easy to play game on your break, this is for you.

**Developer response:** This means a lot! I’ll keep improving the shop and achievements. In the current update 26.2.2, I added some avatars that you can unlock. I hope you like them :)

### 4/5 — Good game

*2026-01-02*

I would like to be able to customize my screen with like wallpapers and have avatars dice colors and stuff like that would also be cool to grind for but that aside good game literally can’t complain

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your feedback. We will add more unlockable items in the future!

### 4/5 — Great adaptation - some bugs

*2025-02-19, version 1.5.1*

Loved this game when featured on another game. This is really fun to play, sometimes the AI is buggy but I laying against other players with points and a leaderboard is addictive

### 4/5 — Animation

*2024-12-15*

I like the idea, but some new animation would be nice, it seems choppy, and I can’t see my points sometimes

**Developer response:** I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the game. When can't you see your points? Could you send me a screenshot of it (-> via the feedback tool at the bottom left of the homepage)? I can't reproduce the problem. Then I would fix the problem as soon as possible :)

### 2/5 — Love knucklebones

*2024-09-27*

So this game was great in cult of the lamb and love how someone decided to make this game into an app…. 

Problem is that this app is unplayable and extremely buggy, to the point that it shouldnt have been released in the state its in. Anyone that gets this game is just keeping in hope it becomes better. 
Hopfully people dont get this game now, then delete and never come back if does become a working app

I am rooting for the developer to succeed and i would love to support this app when its in a better state!!!!

### 5/5 — Thanks for making this!

*2024-08-26*

Had a blast playing local:)

**Developer response:** I'm glad to hear you're having fun with the game :)

### 2/5 — Good game, executed poorly on some cpu levels

*2024-08-25, version 1.2.8*

I really love knucklebones. However on some levels instead of the cpu rolling randomly, they can only roll certain numbers, like rolling only 3’s or 4’s for the entire level. And since they go first each time, the odds are not favorable for the player. I know the game is chance, but its a poor game when the cpus have a set thing they can roll. Takes the chance out if the chance.

### 3/5 — Kinda in detail?

*2024-03-26*

So, first, I had to turn the music off because while its nice its eerie and repetitive. The computer doesn’t scale much in difficulty and the AI seems entirely random. I dont have much incentive to continue playing because there’s nothing to do but win over and over with no difficulty increase. Protection being the default setting is kind of annoying, because the game ends too fast and it lowers the stakes. Maybe try adding some characters to interact with for the tutorial? And let us unlock different designs?

**Developer response:** Hey Mad Pinetree Blogs,

thanks for your feedback!

My question for you:

- Would you like to have no music at all?
- In the next update I will change the default settings because multiple people asked for it.
- Unlock new designs and characters is a great idea. Thank you!

Do no hesitate to contact if you have more ideas in mind :)

### 5/5 — Nice!

*2024-03-11, version 1.1.7*

Thanks for making this. 

There is a bug ( I played vs AI) the removal of opponent dice only happens for the topmost dice. I.e. say opponent has 4 at the bottom and 5 on top of it, if I put 5 in my column it removes opponents 5. But if I put 4 it doesn’t remove opponents 4 from the bottom (but should) 

thanks!

### 3/5 — I cannot play anymore

*2024-03-01, version 1.1.7*

I was using the online feature to connect with another player but something happened and all it shows is what appears to be code. There are no other buttons on the screen and I tried restarting the app but nothing happened.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — New download

*2026-08-19*

New update doesn’t work. It kicks me out and takes points for being non responsive.

### 1/5 — Ad interruptions forfeiting games

*2025-05-07*

The ad interruptions are long enough that they force you to forfeit ranked matches. This is also a pretty ugly low effort implementation of the game. This was one of my fastest uninstalls unfortunately.

**Developer response:** Hello, I'm sorry you had a problem with the game. I will check that advertising is not a problem in ranked mode. In the meantime, you can turn off ads for free in the main menu at the top (“ADS” button). I hope this helps you until I have fixed the problem :)

### 1/5 — Love knucklebones

*2024-11-03*

So this game was great in cult of the lamb and love how someone decided to make this game into an app…. Problem is that this app is unplayable and extremely buggy, to the point that it shouldnt have been released in the state its in. Anyone that gets this game is just keeping in hope it becomes better.

**Developer response:** Hello, I'm sorry that you had problems with the game. I have developed the app a lot since last year and the problem should no longer occur. If you enjoy the app again I would be happy if you update your rating :)

### 1/5 — Broken update

*2024-10-20*

Undo update now I can't even play it doesn't work

**Developer response:** Hello, I'm sorry that you had problems with the game. I have developed the app a lot since last year and the problem should no longer occur. If you enjoy the app again I would be happy if you update your rating.

### 1/5 — Super glitchy

*2024-06-21*

When playing vs computer, the computer player keeps getting the same roll over and over and over, making it impossible to have any kind of a competitive game.

**Developer response:** Hello, I'm sorry that you had problems with the game. I have developed the app a lot since last year and the problem should no longer occur. If you enjoy the app again I would be happy if you update your rating.

### 2/5 — Suspicious Matchmaking

*2026-02-18*

Game must be incredibly popular because I can always find a player to match with at literally any time of day within seconds. And how interesting that in every single game with these very real players I am always assigned to play second.

**Developer response:** We appreciate the feedback. The system is designed to be fair, and we’ll review it to ensure everything is working properly.

### 2/5 — Dice randomizer needs work

*2026-01-07*

The dice aren’t random at all. My opponent will get like five 6s in a row and I’ll be getting 3s or lower the whole game. I mean I just rolled 5 1s in a row. The odds of that is 1 in 7,776. It makes no sense. Sometimes it seems fine but I swear most of the games my opponent will get the same roll back to back to back. The RNG is just RNGarbage.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. I'll take another closer look at it.

### 2/5 — Ad timing causes a loss due to inactivity

*2025-05-11*

When I am close to winning a game, an ad pops up, then I lose due to “inactivity “. It happens almost every time so I think I’m done with this app for now.

### 2/5 — Glitchy

*2025-04-22*

Too many glitches are making the game rules irrelevant and game unplayable. Freezes often

**Developer response:** Hello, I'm sorry that you had problems with the game. The app has been further developed and such problems no longer occur. If you enjoy the app again I would be happy if you update your rating :)

### 2/5 — PvP

*2024-12-17, version 1.4.3*

The player vs player is rigged to one side tried it over and over and over and the same side still one and we rotate the phone so that we play different sides

### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-02-09*

Could use sounds for the dice or removing dice is my only gripe otherwise good game.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! We’ll consider adding dice sounds in a future update :)

### 5/5 — Very scary

*2026-01-30*

The new knucklebones icon is far too scary and gives me nightmares, please bring back the skull 
- thank you XOXO

**Developer response:** 😀😀😀
If more people ask for it, I will bring it back. I tried not to annoy you with my limited design skills.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-10-08*

Would recommend, fun for all ages.

**Developer response:** I'm glad to hear that!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-09-11, version 25.8.1*

Absolutely love this game. 

Found out about knucklebones after playing ‘cult of the lamb’ but just wanted to play this as a standalone. 

Very straightforward explanation on rules and well designed interface. 
Only thing I would suggest is adding new colours for the dice. But that’s just my inner dice goblin and I have no idea how to make games so no idea how feasible it would be. 

Anyway, great app if you like knucklebones 🙂

### 5/5 — Just what I needed

*2025-06-20*

Exactly what I was hoping to find and such a well put together app!

**Developer response:** I'm glad that you like the app :)

### 5/5 — Great game and improving app

*2025-05-27*

This game is a lot of fun. I love playing against other players online. The timer is perfect, not too short or too long which helps with quick gameplay. I had an issue with ads but the developer was responsive to feedback! I’m super happy to play again!

**Developer response:** Hello, I'm sorry you had a problem with the game. I will check that advertising is not a problem in ranked mode. In the meantime, you can turn off ads for free in the main menu at the top (“ADS” button). I hope this helps you until I have fixed the problem :)

### 5/5 — A Cosy Fun and Quick Game

*2025-03-29, version 1.5.5*

I first discovered the game via Cult Of The Lamb and am so glad that someone took the time to make an app. The game works great, the AI is good, lots of extra features… it really is great!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2024-12-08*

Using this to train to beat my cousin in knucklebones on Cult of The Lamb

**Developer response:** I'm glad to hear you're having fun with the game :)

### 5/5 — Great game

*2024-11-10, version 1.4.0*

This game is great as an overall, I love playing it, but as an app it’s even better, no ridiculous add breaks, just Knucklebones! Found the game as a concept from a pintrest link but the App is less Virus-like.
