What's New in Pentaline

Coach — a new Premium feature. Coach pauses after your move when there was a better one: a win you missed, or a five you needed to block. It shows what it would have played, and offers to take the move back. Three levels, from critical mistakes only to every improvement — or off, which is the default.

Suggestion

Guys - this game is not challenging or fun because it is programmed for AI to win QUICKLY almost every game. Most people like Sequence for the challenge! I don’t care if AI wins but at least let the game go on for awhile and make it challenging for the player. I am not going to play anymore until the programmers make it more challenging for the player.

Response from developer

Thank you very much for your feedback! My "AI" implements my proprietary scoring system, looking for the best move given a hand it has. Please note that there are three levels: Casual, Pro and Master. They differ in how many aspects of the position they evaluate. May I suggest to start with Casual? If you are winning consistently (you simply can't win all games, as luck plays a big role), advance to Pro. For the real challenge, try Master. Not sure how I can delay anyone's win without cheating, and I don't do that. I am currently working on a Trainer mode that might help some players. Please DO let me know what do you mean by "make it challenging for the player". Please tell me you DIDN'T mean "more favorable".

It’s the best, but I want to play with friends not AI

Response from developer

Thank you for your review! There is a two player mode in Settings. You would have to share one device, passing it to each other. Are you interested in online play? I don’t do it yet, no one asked for it in more than a year.

AI wins

I saw your response to a negative review and you criticized the person at not being intelligent. I have two university degrees and play this as a board game often. AI always wins in this game. Do better. *Any* time I have four in a row, AI either has the card to block me or has a two eyed jack. Every. Time. This isn’t about skill. Your game needs to be improved.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback! Please, help me understand what are you accusing me of? That I sneak a Jack to the AI hand? Would you propose a hypothetical reason for me to do that? As an improvement, are you suggesting that I need to look into AI's hand and remove any Jacks?

You need a way to get rid
of dead cards in your hand

Response from developer

Thank you very much for your review! There is a way, actually. Just tap the dead card, it will be discarded. Additionally, if you ask for hint (swipe right), the dead card(s) will be outlined in red. Please let me know if this doesn't work for you. Thank you for playing!

Response from developer

2-players mode is a premium feature and requires subscription. There is a 7 days free trial, but you do have to subscribe; cancel at any time. When 2-players mode is selected, you pass the device between players when prompted with: "Next move: [player] Tap when ready". During this hand-off, all hand cards are hidden. Please contact me at dev@feingames.com if you need additional help.
