## What is Starving Gators?

Starving Gators is a tabletop fish chomping board game for the iPad that allows for 1 to 4 players can play at a time. Great to play with your family and friends.

Starving Gators brings back the classic board game feel to a new generation of iPad users. One to four Gators are set up at each corner of the game, around a pond in the middle with fish continously swimming in. Your goal is simple, any taps on your Gator activate his chomp move, which bites down into the middle pond. Eat as many fish you can, making sure to grab the silver fish and the elusive gold fish for bonus points. The timer will count down and the player at the end with the most amount of points wins!

As up to four people can play at once, the game is great to play with family and friends. A great game to play at the table with your family during Christmas, or on family game nights. The game is simple enough for all players to understand and master. The game has also been balanced to play with children in mind.

### 1/5 — What a rip off!

*2022-05-28*

This game is totally rigged! The fish literally swim into the alligators mouths but NOT the red! Red never gets to win 😡No strategy required to win or lose…it’s just rigged rigged rigged! Blue worked ok…so did purple. But not poor red. It’s a really good game if you want to gaslight someone…just give them the red gator!

### 1/5 — Crash!

*2014-07-21*

I bought the game to play with my daughters and was very disappointed when all it does is crash all the time! For the price this should not happen! Please fix so the rating changes and people can enjoy the game the purchased.

### 2/5 — Hmmm?

*2012-10-28, version 1.0*

In two player, go the blue gator as the fish definitely go there more. The randomness of the fish is not random enough to make the game enjoyable after a few games. Very obvious there are issues within the programming. Could be a great little game but needs some attention to be a lot better. I look forward to some upgrades. $1.99 seems steep now for a poorly made game.

### 3/5 — Make sure you're purple!

*2012-02-11, version 1.0*

Good fun game but make sure you sneakily turn it so you're purple!
More fish seem to find their way to purple gator.

### 1/5 — Needs work

*2012-01-15*

Ok for kids for a while, but there's an inherent bias in that the fish go in set patterns and go far fewer near red than the other colours. Purple's generally favoured. Could do with some work to make it more than a play once game. And the price ain't value for money.
