Ratings and reviews

I'm uninstalling. Pros: I liked the simplicity of the app's design. This game can be truly challenging in 'hard' mode. Con: it is possible to "break" the ai with complex strategies--the game will simply freeze if your pieces are arranged in such a way that there is no one superior move to any other available. I love this game, and nearly loved this free app, but enough to wait 30 minutes at a time to figure out whether to restart the match.

For what it's meant to be it's great. There're a few things it could be better at, like a medium and very hard AI level, the ability to remember your settings and not locking up when you alt tab, but it IS free and it works well enough.

its poor from 2012 and after that nothing No updates At the start there wasnt even a manu But at least theres 1 Ludus game in the play store
