User reviews

Love this game but hope for more updates

I absolutely adore the animations with the potions and ingredients, as well as the professors! I was originally introduced to this game on BGA with some family members. We’ve been playing it for years. I later introduced Potion Explosion to my boyfriend and we all love playing it. My boyfriend bought the physical board game and then later found this app. We have given it many tries with the online feature, but we have yet to be able to finish a game. The app bugs out and gets stuck on one of our screens saying it’s the other person’s turn and it won’t sync up again or let us move forward. It seems to happen the most when life distracts us and we let the app sit in the background running or close the app entirely. The app seems to get disrupted and stops communicating between our two phones. He has a google phone and I have an iPhone, so maybe it’s something between the two that causes disrupted connection. We’re willing to stick with this app for the sake of the beloved game and will use it for times when we’re not doing anything for extended periods of time. We’re hoping for continued improvement and future updates. Thank you to everyone for your part in creating and maintaining such a cool app!

Very fun game I think you should buy this game with currency so you own it and can play at your leisure yes

Une pépite

J’avais acquis ce jeu il y a quelques années en pensant qu’il s’agissait d’un simple match3 et après quelques parties je l’avais délaissé dans un coin de mon ipad : quelle erreur ! Je viens de le retester et je le redécouvre : Non seulement le jeu est bien plus stratégique et varié qu’un match3 mais en plus les graphismes et les animations sont superbes.
Du coup j’ai acheté le cinquième élément qui ajoute encore un peu plus de profondeur au jeu. Bravo aux concepteurs et aux développeurs.

Was ist mit dem Onlineplay?

Den fünften Stern gibt es erst wieder, wenn Online Partien wieder funktionieren! Züge bei Async-Spielen werden nicht ausgeführt und man muss sie wiederholen, und manchmal kommt man aus der Schleife nicht mehr heraus. Habt ihr nicht gemerkt, dass es online sehr, sehr ruhig geworden ist? Echtzeit funktioniert meistens, aber auch da kommen diese „Schleifen“, dass Züge nicht registriert werden, vor. Schade!

Online game is broken

I like the app overall it has great potential but when you play online with others the game often breaks and throws you out of all games so you loose your rating and unfinished games. AI is not challenging at all, so while I love the game itself it’s often really frustrating
