Fluxx for Negative User Reviews

✓ Can't connectEver since I updated my iOS I can't connect to the online to play.Budmaster1985Version: 1.0.0

✓ Great game, dreadful implementationI love fluxx but this conversion of it is rubbish. It really drive home to me how much of fluxx is the social interaction with the other players, something that's completely missing in this version. Add to that the tedious animations and the pixelated graphics that make it hard to read your cards and I deleted it after only a few games. Don't buy this, just buy the real thing..DrHydeousVersion: 1.0.0

✓ :0Good fun game but needs more modes or challenges. The biggest issue I have is the speed at which cards are dealt and played by the AI! They take forever! Playing against more that one at a time feels like you're just waiting and on more than one occasion my screen has darkened down because I haven't played my turn for so long!.VoldemortMustDie!Version: 1.0.0

✓ More versions pleaseThe app is good and all, but original fluxx is kinda boring compared to some others. I think we should be able to unlock pirate or zombie fluxx within the app.The paxtonatorVersion: 1.0.0

✓ The gameI honestly love this game but you lost 1 star because of how tedious it can be to read I play on my iPad but still and another because I was expecting at least 3 more games by now my love of this game would greatly increase if it weren't so hard to get I have travelled to Canada and that is where I found this game but the game just doesn't sell in third world countries like my own so this is the only way I can enjoy the game and I can't do that forever since this game can eventually get old gradually I hope this gets through to you people because I really want an updated version of this game since well the game has changed a lot.And one not toVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Fun but doesn't do the real thing justiceI enjoy playing it because i love the card game but the design and layout is VERY outdated and clunky to use. Even worse, I think that the AI makes plays totally at random. The computer has played cards that directly caused me to win on multiple occasions when it wasn't being forced to. And if you play the Recycling rule, watch with disbelief as the computer systematically trashes all its keepers for no reason. Truly puzzling!.Stan_MVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Mostly great, sometimes frustratingly buggyThey did a fantastic job translating the game, but I have some frustrations. 1.) Occasional bugginess. It has ended my turn early a couple times--I had 5 cards left during a turn in which I had just played Play All, and it switched to the other player! 2.) Unnecessarily slow replays. I don't need to watch the other players draw 5 cards one-at-a-time! 3.) No app-switching. If I switch to another app for an instant, it will redo the most recent "what the other players did last" replay. Annoying when that takes 30-60sec! How about a button to activate the replay, after you've seen it once, instead of automatically forcing you? 4.) No in-app chat. That makes #3 worse when I want to text my friend a comment about our game..AlsoTimVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Dreadful AI, poor online handlingNice enough game (although the random aspect is perhaps over-cooked), but the AI is dire (I've only ever lost a game by chance, and the computer doesn't even know to not play a card that will lose it the game) and the online handling is poor. There's no impetus to make people stay online and play, so you end up with loads of abandoned games..SkingtonVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Broken update!Just did the 2.1.2 update and now the app crashes! I select Offline, create a new game, and whether I choose Zombie Fluxx or original with keepers it starts loading the game, gets to 45% loaded and crashes. Please fix, this is a favourite game and I was so happy when you added Zombies to the app..Oohshiny77Version: 2.1.2

✓ IPad Air crashes and rebootsI Have been playing this game for months with my friends on iPhone and iPad, but when I got a new iPad air (iOS 7.04) for Xmas, this game causes my iPad to reboot. After the reboot, the game will play ok for a while but if I don't play it for a couple of hours or overnight, the next time I select the app from my list of running apps, it will immediately crash the iPad and display the apple logo. This app is long overdue for an update....AudiBoyJPVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Game ok, but online issuesThis game of Fluxx is good and this is a good conversion. Online however, I have experienced far too many game freezes and games which disappear from the list (would be nice to know if the other player has actually quit or I suspect these game have dropped due to software issues?).Mark In SpaceVersion: 1.0.0

✓ AIs are too easy.I have been playing this game with family and friends for years, so I was excited to see it come to iOS. Pretty good start. However, the AIs are way way too easy. I have played several matches ( with various number of players 2-4) and the AIs will not take opportunities to win. Unless you play a card that forces them to win, they will just keep playing and playing until you get the cards you need to win. One AI had one keeper for a goal card and I had the other keeper for it. The AI played the steal a keeper card, and didn't not steal the keeper that would have made him win! He took a different keeper. Three stars for now. If you increase the difficulty of the AIs I will maybe increase the rating..Sugarpie479Version: 1.0.0

✓ Excellent fidelity; horrendous implementationThe consistency with the actual rules is admirable, the interface and art is reasonable however the unnecessarily slow animations are inexcusable. A fast forward, or even skip, button should be provided. Even worse if your phone sleeps or the app gets changed you have to start all over again. Don't make us sit there and watch each player individually draw cards. The sound is crap, too. I really want to recommend this to friends of mine, but it seems like the app creators didn't actually play the finished product!.SurgeonUFOVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Offline game crashingAppears not to be able to handle when there’s too much going on in the offline game. Computer Opponent tried to search through discard pile and their timer spun and all crashed. Went back in and game kept crashing at the same point.Lee C DewsnapVersion: 2.1.3

✓ SuggestionsI’m new to Fluxx and falling in love with it instantly. Because I’m learning the game, I think the cards move too quickly so I can’t read them. When I hold the card up my finger is often in the way. It’s hard to determine which card does what because the game moves way too fast. If I choose a card, it should stay up until I click on it. This game needs to slow down. There’s potential here but it’s not here yet..Brotherdenis52Version: 2.1.3

✓ Need a little workHand limit zero should discard all your cards for you and the process of logging in should be more automated, otherwise well designed. Also, notification text seem to be broken as of the latest update. Weapon bonus uses a play when it is not supposed to. Play all but 1 occasionally behaves the same as play all. If you use “Let’s do it again” to ‘take another turn’ after you played “Take another turn” on your last turn it won’t give you a third turn as intended. Turn notifications aren’t sending properly..Foxworth22Version: 2.1.3

✓ Needs workI'm so happy that there is a Fluxx game in the App Store but this really needs some work. I love Fluxx because it is chaotic and fast paced. The card animations are so painfully slow that I barely want to finish a game once I've started. And it's not a technical thing, I'm on an iPhone 6, this looks like it's just a poor design decision. Also, when you play the tutorial, there is no way to exit other than killing the app. Hopefully this will continue to get better because Fluxx is a great game and I'm happy it's on iOS.JustinxreeseVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Vanilla onlyGood, but it's only the plain Fluxx. I'd have expected to be able to buy some of the other sets as DLC..DesideratistVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Faithful to the actual game!First thing you should do is Max out the gameplay speed settings then its actually playable. Really needs expanded themes and creeper cards..Bob.NicholasVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Don't buy apps from this developerAfter using this app since it's launch date I've decided I need to drop it to 2 stars. The game is fantastic and the star rating doesn't reflect that. This app has issues that have never been addressed, dropping connectivity with the Game Center frequently, I currently have over 20 games that are finished but won't disappear and can't be deleted, as well as several smaller issues. After waiting ages for an update it's obvious the designers made it and dropped it and are happy just getting money from people buying it. Will never pay for an app from this developer again..RamploVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Needs improvementUser Interface is very unpolished, it's as though the basic framework of the game was put into place and then released before smoothing out the gameplay. There really isn't a flow back and forth when playing multiplayer, and the app has to reload when you exit to the home screen and want to go back. AI is terrible, even at their 'hard' setting. This app isn't bad, we usually expect updates that gradually improve the experience, but it still feels like (and looks like) a beta. In terms of the actual game of fluxx, if you have not played it prior to this app (I haven't) it's very easy to learn and fairly heavily based on luck. So, good luck..Nato510Version: 1.0.0

✓ Please make better AII've played this game only 4 time so far, and I've already decided that I don't really want to play it again until an update comes through :-/. As some previous reviews have said, the AI just doesn't play aggressively at all. In one game, it played the "discard a keeper" card against itself. Shouldn't that never happen? Granted, the AI does get in the way sometimes when I try to build up my hand and then it plays a "rotate hands" card, but other than these seemingly arbitrary interferences, it provided no challenge at all in the solo mode..Tundras21Version: 1.0.0

✓ Frustratingly poor game playFirst, I'm a huge fan of the Fluxx card game. We have 4 decks and love the game. However, the game play for this iOS game is just poor. There must be a reason why there are no Creepers but those are a significant to the game. The animations are much too slow. Speed it up or do away with it. The single player with AI is a little better but the AI players just make random plays, not calculated like a person. I was very excited to hear hat this game was coming to iOS but unfortunately I'm disappointed..Lrd_v4drVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Fun but needs an updateI enjoy this game and play it daily but I if I had known they hadn't updated it for 4 years I would never have paid $ for it. Having to scroll through tons of completed games to find invites is annoying. There are so many versions of this game in real life and they could do so much more with it. Basically they made an app and are raking in all the $ without even caring if the app works or is user friendly. Buy the game and play with your family and friends don't support greed without support..Lunatiff2000Version: 1.0.0

✓ Does Online play still work?Have just bought on iPad Pro, latest iOS. Running gives a message saying developer needs to optimise as it may slow device. However, more importantly, it says must be logged into GameCenter to use multi player, even though I go into settings and am logged in. The GameCentre change may have broken the functionality. Can anyone confirm this?.GfragVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Great port of a mediocre game.Playdek does amazing work once again! The AI is compelling, animations and play experience are fluid and faithful, yet... Well, I may be a fluxx newbie, but this game seems shallow and chaotic..StVandtheGVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Good game, needs update badlySleep was down iPad and online doesn't work (it tries to log onto Game Center). This app needs an update in the worst way..Aneal VVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Has issuesI love fluxx. This version is wonky though. A few times it wouldn’t give me the win when I had the win. Also it’s freaking ugly. The ui and Color design are just abysmal..LucradisteVersion: 2.1.0

✓ So much potential, disappointing lack of supportI was uber excited when I saw this came out as Flux has been a favourite travel game for years. However, the lack of updates is very disappointing....Wassup_dudeVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Ok port, TERRIBLE UIThis is a pretty straightforward adaptation of the card game but everything about the user interface (and overall user experience) jus screams "Amateur Hour". I'd have expected to see this level of design and visuals on a high school CompSci project..NontakenusernameVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Need to fix online game bugsGreat game, lots of fun! There is a definite problem with the online feature though. Often, the games lock up so nobody can play. It still shows up on the list of games to play. In order to remove one of these locked up games, you have to delete it which shows up as a forfeit and a loss on the stats..Rob14erGuyVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Better text for non Retina.Not sure if this is the case, but it seems like the game has been optimised for a Retina display! All the text on my iPad Mini looks TERRIBLE, even when the card is zoomed in. Please look into fixing it, because Fluxx is awesome!.SubElementVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Stupid game, fine appFirst off, speed up the animations and game speed in the options. That will make the other player turns go by much faster. I had no issues technically with the app, it ran well and let me try out this game that was recommended to me by some random people at my local game store. I'm glad I bought this app for a fraction the cost of the physical version because this game is stupid. Draw one Play one is simple and the idea of the game seems interesting, but at the end of the day it's all random luck with no real thinking or strategy involved. This may be fun as a party game, but in the social void that is the electronic medium I could not stand playing this. Maybe if the alternate themes were available it would be better, but I'm guessing not..PofigsterVersion: 1.0.0

✓ OkIt's ok, not nearly as fun as playing IRL though. Not worth paying for IMO..Nick006837316Version: 1.0.0

✓ Online play needs to be revampedI enjoyed an earlier version of this app. The graphics were clear, the sounds enjoyable, game could be adjusted for speed. I don’t usually like to update apps but took a chance when I saw that online play was available. I’m happy that the game itself was not altered. But the online portion is a joke. It appears to be turn based meaning others don’t have to be online to make a move. With a game like Fluxx this is a nightmare as it can be a long game. I saw games started that were waiting an hour, four hours, even a day for others to join and play. And when I became fourth chair in one game I made a move then realized five minutes later no one else was there. I came back later in the day and one other had made a move. This is insane. I tried adding my friend who had just created an account and it couldn’t locate her so I guess I’ll just be playing offline..MrjombiVersion: 2.1.5

✓ Fluxx - not as good as the real thingI thought having played fluxx that this would be fun but i have to say for 1.99 there are better quality games. I was expecting better graphics and gameplay. The game area is squashed and therefore fiddly to use. That said the original theme of fluxx is retained..Tom_01Version: 1.0.0

✓ DisappointingThis app could be so much better. Online mode is non existent. Layout needs to be landscape. For the cost I am not happy with this at all. Fluxx is such a great game..CiscoJoVersion: 1.0.0

Fluxx works most of the time. If it is not working for you, we recommend you excersise some patience and retry later or contact Fluxx.
