It’s okay

First time playing I got three balls back in my side in one turn and it broke the game. We could both shoot at the same time, then only me but there were two balls in my side to throw somehow, then death killed them both, then even though we both had more balls it was seemingly neither of our turns. No balls to throw, soft lock.

VERY different from the original game, I’m a little disappointed. I understand the different feel though.

The new modes are interesting and fun.

Great Game

It’s a very good game to play and is very fun and enjoyable

Love it

My husband and I play this game almost every time we go out to eat while we wait for our food to come

Wish they had just updated the original

This game is good, but only in the ways that it is similar to the prior game and that it has better online function (though I think barely anyone’s playing anymore). I much preferred the original’s more minimalistic visuals and sound design. Also the music in the previous one was soooo much better. Also the finger animations were much nicer too. If there was an option to reskin this version with the visuals and sound of the old one it would be perfect. Also the olomojis are cool at first but get annoying quickly. And they clutter up the screen.

Great game on life support

I remember getting the original OLO when it was released in 2012 and loving the smooth modernist but colorful aesthetic and it’s simple and understandable rules but then having no one around to convince to play with me and instead just blandly play against myself; throwing dots against each other mindlessly for a few minutes and wishing there was a online mode to make the game remotely fun for me; eight years later we have that but no one is playing it so I’m as bored now as I was all that time ago. The game’s rules and aesthetics are as engaging as ever but with no one to play with this game makes me feel like I’m visiting a dead empty mall.

Apparently there’s no solo offline

Waste of money

It’s just OK

It’s exactly the same as the original OLO game..the only different thing would be that you can play online but ONLY the classic mode..the 2 other modes are only local and it sucks..if only we could play all the modes online...especially for 5.49$ this is just crazy I should’ve done more research on this game it’s not with the money.

Just get the original.

OLO Loco is way over designed and is an ordeal for the eyes. The new game modes would be cool if they had been added to the original, but aren't worth buying this for.

Even the menu constantly jiggles around! It's horrible.

Doesn’t open

App won’t open on my iPad. Goes to a yellow screen and then crashes. Tried restarting iPad and re-downloading but didn’t help. Got one response from a person at Rogue and then crickets. I am requesting my money back. OLO is fun but this new version is worthless.

4.5 Rounded Up

OLO Loco is a major re-imagining of OLO. The familiar 2 Player, 4 Player and Online options are offered. All three share new graphics, audio and an updated physics engine. Fans of OLO’s relaxed, minimalist style are in for a few surprises.

Both the 2 Player and 4 Player options contain three game modes: Classic, REVERSO and BOOLO. I’m enjoying the additional strategic depth offered in both of the new game modes. If one or both were available for competitive Online play, I would have a very difficult time choosing a favorite. Perhaps there’s an OLO Loco Triathlon in our future.

The Online option is based on the Classic game mode with three notable changes from the original: smaller OLOs, a narrower playing field and asynchronous, turn-based play.

The reduced size of the OLOs places a higher premium on a player’s aiming skills. The significantly narrower playing field has a pronounced impact on the geometry of the game. With the higher velocities attainable in the new physics engine, OLO Loco provides a very lively experience for new players and veteran OLO players.

The transition to turn-based play in the Online game mode is a game changer in the very best way. On your first visit to the Online menu, you’ll be presented with an empty slate with options to return to the main menu, view the weekly leaderboard or start a new game by inviting a friend to play or choosing to be matched with a random player.

After starting a new game and playing your OLO, your opponent will have 24 hours to take their turn. You can wait in-game for your opponent’s response or, tap on the playing field to return to the Online menu. From here, you can start another new game, monitor your existing games or revisit the last turn of a game. You can also invite an opponent to a replay and accept or decline invitations you’ve received.

If a player fails to complete their turn within the 24 hour period, they’ll forfeit the game and lose 10 points on the leaderboard. Their opponent will then have 24 hours to finish the match using the OLOs in their possession as well as any remaining OLOs on the board.

Over time, your Online menu will fill with games arranged in color coded groups based on their status. The current score and amount of time remaining are also displayed for each game. You are limited to 30 active games. Thanks to the integration with the Notification Center, you’re a swipe away from updates on your online games while outside of the app.

There have been relatively few glitches: In-game notifications occasionally fail to completely clear, obscuring your opponent’s remaining OLOs. Moving from the Online menu to the Main menu and back removes active timed out games. And, on very rare occasions, the physics engine appears to lose track of an OLO. To their credit, the development team has been very active with four updates since the initial release a month ago.

I enjoyed the themes and the 20 second shot clock in the original but, their absence is a minor concession in light of the many positive changes. In particular, improvements to the random matching process and the implementation of turn-based play are well worth the price.

Online Still Doesn’t Work

Online still doesn’t work. Really fun game otherwise. Not sure how it worked for the other person that reviewed the game, but when I go to play online absolutely nothing happens.

Online Modus funktioniert nicht

Gute spielidee, aber online Modus funktioniert nicht 😳

Unable to play since update

Unable to play online games since little update has screwed it up.
Online games are a major part of this game and not being able play them is a major disappointment. Also only one of the game modes (classic) is able to be played online. Fix these and rating will improve.

Wonderful Game .... BUT:

The game makes so much fun but it is possible to play it online with GameCenter on only one device. I can not continiue existing matches with my 2nd iPad.

Das beste Spiel aller Zeiten

Es macht richtig Bock, spiele es jeden Tag im Multiplayer mit Freunden online oder lokal, es ist mega fett aller!

Olo, but way better!

Like olo classic, multiplayer problem was on me! And nowplaying non stop! Great! :-)

Awesome

I played OLO for years and really love the new game!

Also the other game modes are great. Will you make them available for online play? Then I'll give the 5th star ⭐️

Good update

I like OLO very much. This is a long awaited update :-) The push power could be a bit more fine tuned ;-)
