Ingenious App Reviews

Some difficulties to turn pieces but all in one a beautiful result an addictive game - it is so difficult to block the computer in higher levels that you just go on to learn the trick. You can also play with different rules like limit color split or/and limit holes! A lovely game

Definitely fun and very similar in feeling to the board game. But lacking in functionality: 1) 3 and 4 player mode 2) Harder opponents 3) Better online mode If this was implemented then it wouldve been a 5star!

Ive been playing the PC version of this game for years, and for those unfamiliar with Ingenious, it really is any excellent puzzle game that involves turn-based strategy. Its easy to learn, slow to master, and fun. Ive spent countless hours playing it. I was thrilled to see that it was brought to the iPhone/iPod and enjoy it on this platform too. The interface is easy to use, and the game is more or less a faithful version of the one I know and enjoy. A few caveats, though. I wish the developers would make some sort of awards system whereby players try to meet various milestones, or compete against different personalities. As it stands the game is unembellished (much like the PC version) and some framing of the game within some sort of larger achievement scheme would add to the already good replay value. There is a tournament mode, but it feels more or less a uniform gaming experience. Where are even the basic gaming statisics? You only play against one computer opponent. Typically when I play on my PC, I play against three computer opponents, as this is more of a challenge. Perhaps there isnt enough screen space to allow for this comfortably on the iPhone. Lastly, it is very regretable that there is no multiplayer online or using wifi or Bluetooth -increasingly standard features of these sorts of games. This is really unfortunate as this is precisely the type of game that is enhanced by a human opponent, and playing the AI of the game will eventually leave you cold and wanting more. All and all, a very good game, and certainly worth the price. Still, the potential for excellence is on the horizon with some moderate updates. Ill keep my fingers crossed.

Im always looking for new strategic games. This one was worth the money. Its an interesting concept with smooth gameplay. The tutorial could be a bit cleaner and the easy setting needs to be a bit easier. The first 20 games were quite frustrating until I got the hang of it and could offer real competition to the CPU.

Controls are fantastic, the board and gameplay is great. This is a must have for any serious gamer. Probably put 20 or more hours in and still really enjoying it. I own the physical boardgame as well and its identical.

Fantastic version of Ingenious that is now compatible with 1st gen devices so there really is no reason not to own this game. :)

This game is great! Ive played the actual board game lots of time and this one is just as good! But today its been crashing alot Maybe tomorrow It will Work!

Fantastic. Very habit forming!

Love this app and the game!

Great app. Just like playing the board game with good level of difficulty.

Fun game. Took a few hours to start winning... Now Im on a roll. Like the online play. If you like fun challenging games like Othello youll like this!!

I just love this game. It has just what a good game requires: an infinite number of possibilities, few rules, some strategy, and a little bit of luck!

A mentally challenging game. Fun and keeps you on your toes :)

A worthwhile game and a nice conversion to an electronic format. The insistence on stupid music is annoying but once you kill the volume, it doesnt matter. Enjoy!

Just like the board game. Unlike Scotland Yard which is impossible to play on iPhone

A little tough to control placement on an iPhone screen but overall a good digital version of this excellent Knizia game.

This is a great adaptation of the board game.

Love the game but I agree that its hard to lay tiles on the iPhone. Still a great game.

I like this game. Found it easy to use. Would be better if it had harder levels, ability to play against more than 1 opponent. Took 3 days to regularly beat hard level.

Great implementation of a Great game. So really recommended.
