About this game

This isn't your average board game! Whoops!! brings the fun of thousand-year-old "cross and circle" games to your tablet or phone.

Move around the board clockwise and try to get all four of your pieces into the ending area. Different cards influence your movement and enable special moves to be performed that can quickly turn the tides on your opponents. But be careful! Your opponents have access to the same set of moves.

Gameplay is rapid-paced, as cards that contain invalid moves will slide off-screen automatically. No time is wasted in-between turns. Progress bars and ranks in the four corners of the screen will keep you up to date on where you stand in comparison to the other players.

Your pieces have personality as well! Whenever a move happens in-game, watch as they react to the events that occur around them. Cutscenes are activated from certain extra special cards, which feature your pieces as well. They also have a somewhat tragic backstory!

This app is produced by "Durian!" of Boston, MA. We are a small, independent team looking to bring fun and fresh gameplay experiences to all of your devices. Whoops!! is our first polished creation, and we hope that you enjoy playing it as much as we did making it.

Ratings and reviews

Wow! The arrow now doesn't cover what place the green pawn is in. I take back my comment about controlling the speed, I think it's in a sweet spot right now. I think a very hard option could probably be added, or at least a whoops heavy option where AI players don't just go for the place closest, they knock people off. Also, I'd pay for no ads if it was reasonable $$$. 😬

It's a free, digital version of the board game, "Sorry!". The game runs well--no bugs or glitches, not absolutely caked in ads. The animations are pretty cute. My biggest complaint is there is no online multiplayer, which defeats the whole purpose of a digital board game, in my opinion. Also, as a composer and sound designer, I cringe at the lack of audio. (Not that you NEED audio to enjoy the game--but it would definitely enhance the experience.)

Game has a few glitches. First, sometimes when you move your piece it doesn't go to the square where it should be, although the game will still recognize that your piece should be in the right place and on the next move it will start at the right place. Second, it doesn't handle a roll of 7 correctly. A player should only be able to move on a 7 if they can move 7 spaces with 1 or 2 pieces, but the game will allow 1 piece to move less than 7 without another piece using the rest.
