Flip out! It's a new Piccolo update! The star of the show: completely redesigned piece flip animations! Watch your discs tumble and turn with silky smooth new visuals. Every capture now feels more satisfying than ever. It's the little things that make a big difference, and we think you're going to love how each flip looks and feels. We've also modernized the code across the stack, ensuring you get the smoothest Othello experience there is. Thanks for playing!

Nice app but very annoying asking for review reviews

This is a nice little free Othello app. It’s been my go to for a while. But I’m finally writing a review because it wouldn’t stop asking me to write a review. So annoying!
