Ratings and reviews

I really liked this until the latest update. It was a genuinely good Othello app, with good leveling. My limit was around level 20-22, where I'd win about half the games played. I would say I have a pretty good understanding of the game, but not at any master level (e.g. compared to tournament players). Above that was too strong for me. However, the current revision has completely nerfed the difficulty! Level 30 is now easy. I guess this is in response to negative comments about the difficulty.

This game is great, and challenging as well, but recently, (as of 22nd of November 2025) the levels became so much easier to beat. I used to only win around 10 points on level 30, but I have discovered that I can win easily on said level 30. This makes the game much less challenging and uninteresting, and I am considering deleting this app unless what I described above becomes fixed by the developers. Thank you.

Was great until the update. Now levels 28-30 are not that hard. Go back to the old difficulty or find some middle ground. The new system is super easy.
