About this game

Rising 5 is a cooperative deduction boardgame and this app helps you to set up a code and deduce the code. It is the game based on the mechanism of master mind. There’re 7 Runes and 7 Signs which are pair up randomly at the start of the game. Players should find the code of 4 Runes on the right positions and find out the pairs to solve the code.

Ratings and reviews

Overall the app is great, but camera scanning runes isn't perfect. During a recent game the camera scan confused the dark blue and light blue rune, sending my game on a wild goose chase, until I looked back at my scanning history, realising the scanning inaccuracy. As a suggestion, perhaps provide a single extra screen to confirm the rune results that the camera detected, before the astrological symbols are presented. Therefore allowing the user to rescan or manual input if scan error persists.

I like this game and you can muddle through with the app, but man I wish they would fix it. It shows the wrong symbol for not in the code.(should have a red outline) and the photo often picks up the wrong colours. The manual work around is frustratingly misaligned also. Wish they'd fix it.

The app is otherwise good but the camera recognition is poor. It is very irritating if it happens at the end since there is no way of seeing whether the camera worked right or not. Prior to that you can at least see the history and deduce from that.
