A great story
This app is an excellent introduction to Cavity Sam and his ailments. It’s funny and educational at the same time. We like how it helps young kids practice their fine motor skills. The poems are so cute 😍
Fun App for Fans of Operation
We love the game in our house and thought this would be a fun story for our reader. We love the other play date apps and this one was very cute too!
Failed a game.
I know the game is a single player but not only 2,3,and 4 player game? They are the part of it that whoever get the most money wins. Also I do not pick a ailment. I do draw a ailment card that was money side up and do what it says. If I touch the buzzer, next player goes or I return it to the bottom of a ailment deck money side up and draw a new one. If I completed a ailment, you did not give me a money. Also, the game must need a setting back! Shame! Either fix it or refund.

Too basic
Not worth $2.99 need to have advancing difficulty or add new levels my 3/4 year old beat the game and got board with it.
Rubbish
Totally wasted my money. Thought it would be like playing the board game. Too much talking and tweezers don’t work. Frustrating and kids got extremely bored.
Oh boy! Operation and monopoly junior is free!!!
The sale was gone forever thank god you change that it is free thank you guys
Horrible. Crashes freezes
Don’t waste your money
YOURE KIDDING?!?!
I bought this game for my little brother. He completed it within 30 minutes… it’s not worth $3 in my opinion! After you complete the game it resets and you have to do it all over again. IT’S A COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY!!!
It’s ok but a few suggestions.
I am nine years old and I think this game is more for five year olds. There is too much rhyming and it sounds like a doctor suess book.
There is no way to lose at this game. I don’t even have to put really any effort in winning this game. In my opinion it is kind of odd that a man in his underwear goes dancing around the room when you win. please take my suggestions so this game doesn’t seem so childish. Otherwise it is GREAT!

So cute and funny. Just perfect!
The kids just love this app. It’s just like the board game but with so much more context and explanation for why Sam has these ailments. Fun way to bring it to life in digital form and test those tweezer skills!
Awful game
Why can you not SKIP
Not everyone wants to sit through 10 hours of time wasting slow talking, we just want to play
Bought & instantly deleted

Not my best idea
Might be good for a kid, not so much for me.
Disappointed
Im a fan of hasbro games but this one was not even worth 2.99. I dont like the story mode or the medicine part, and the tweezers are too hard to squeeze 😑👎🏼
Overcharged
Did not take out the amount that it said it cost.
As a long time fan of Operation, this is extremely disappointing
I’ve been playing Operation for nearly my entire life, I loved it back then, and I still love it now. So when I bought this game, I had high hopes for this game. After playing it, I was left severely disappointed. Let me start with the first negative, this game is not very appealing to look at. Animations are about as rough as a PowerPoint presentation. The art style isn’t that great either, this is something that bothers me in newer versions of Operation, it looks too soft and childish to me, so the art style isn’t this game’s fault majorly. The touch controls, while responsive, feel stiff, more specifically when you’re removing an ailment. I also don’t like the sound effects used, all of them are very royalty free stock like sounds, and the buzzer is literally just the Family Feud buzzer. The fatal flaw with this game is that it’s literally impossible to lose. Touching the sides has no consequence whatsoever, the game is just WAY too forgiving. Lastly, there’s no replay value outside of the main game. Once you finish the game, there’s nothing else left to do. Even for a $3 game on the app store, It’s disappointing.
Now are there any positives I have with the game? Actually, yes there are. First major positive I have is that since this is an upfront purchase, there are no pop-up ads to be found. Another good thing I can say is that I have never had a single instance where the game suddenly crashed on me for no reason. I also like that each ailment has more context behind them than the original game, where it just gave you a vague and brief description. Although, some of these pieces have dumb reasons for being there, mainly Spare Ribs, I don’t understand how Sam can get sick just by trying to look for someone to share his ribs with.
In conclusion, I wish there was more effort placed into this game, the negatives really outweigh the positives in this case. If this games continues to make money, I hope you can use that earned money to improve the game to the extreme. Here are some ideas I have that you may find interesting:
Add cash as a reward for removing a piece. Along with adding doctor and specialist cards, just like the original game.
Add multiple skins as unlockables for completing certain pieces without touching the sides, such as a 2013 layout, the 1970’s UK versions, the rescue kit layout, and even the original 1965 layout. It would make for nice unlockables, especially for long time fans.
Give the player a penalty for failing an operation, either no cash or lose $100.
Change the sound effects to something more professional and less stocky.
Smoothen the character animations, make it look more natural and less puppet like, or you can make newly drawn images.
Add multiple game variants such as a time limit to each piece, or a skill setting where the pieces will shake a little as you’re removing it (to emulate the nerve skills of the board game), similar to what the GBA version did.
Add Brain Freeze as an unlockable piece.
Add a difficulty setting that increases the penalty, makes the mazes longer and more complex, to really test the player’s skills, the higher the difficulty, the bigger the cash reward and penalty will be.
These are all the things I would recommend adding to the game, and I hope you’ll be able to do so. Even if this game is targeted towards young kids, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t put effort into it, regardless of age demographic, a product should be made with lots of effort.
