Ratings and reviews

Great game and art style. Unfortunately I've found it becomes frustrating very quickly as some of the challenges are hard enough to replicate once never mind 3 or 4 times. An option to skip and return to a challenge, even if was after a couple of failed attempts, would make the overall game more enjoyable. I appreciate there is an option to unlock everything in the settings but for me that would defeat the point of playing the game.

It's overall a fun experience. It's a bit frustrating that the game does a poor job of explaining some concepts. For example, there's a challenge to get flawless on 4 tables - I can't tell if it's a bug or if I'm doing something wrong - Sometimes I get flawless when I make mistakes and lose lives, sometimes I don't get it when I have played a perfect round.

Fun game actually for short play sessions. You can unlock eveything in 1-2 hours play (or set in the options to unlock everything from the start). Randomized board layouts, and mix and match cards that can affect the game play, as well as adding challenges to achieve. However there are only 4 kinds of boards with their own unique mechanics as well as 14 option cards of which I only find maybe about 5-6 that are fun to play.
