Fluxx

Fluxx is a family favorite around here and we own many versions of the game. Was excited to find it in a mobile version. Very good adaptation but there are a few issues. First, the AI is dumb, I mean, really dumb. I've watched it discard a goal card while having both keepers in play in front of it. Second, add on purchases appear to be tied to the device, not the Play account. Purchases made on the phone do not carry over to a tablet, even when using the same account. Will rate higher if fixed.

The game is pretty fun, but doesn't include anything other than the original deck. It's also incredibly annoying that there's no way to zoom into the cards, and when you select a card, your finger covers most of the text making it very difficult to read some cards. Overall a pretty good app, but really could use some additional decks, and the ability to easily read cards

I love this so far, and I think it has great potential! The design is nice (with a few exceptions I'll mention), the animations and sound effects are seamless and wonderful. I can hardly wait for them to release some of the other varieties beyond the basic and zombies! Really want the Star Trek ones, Firefly, Cthulhu, and Monty Python ones in the app! Would absolutely 100% pay for them to support the app and devs, too! That all being said, I think the steps to start a game need to be WAY more intuitive. Right now there's no guide or words to tell you what buttons to press or in what order, and it's a bit confusing. Why do I have to send a game request, start the game, and then also tap to enter the game? After I send or accept a game request, it should automatically take me to the game. I'd like to see a menu with options that are something like Start Game > 2, 3, or 4 players > invite friends, against AI, or wait for opponent > Start and then you're right in the game. I've played a dozen or so games since I got the app, and I'm pretty sure that at least 3 times when I use the 'Draw 3, Play 2' card, even if I have further plays left after that card, it counts the 'Play 2' towards my final play count and ends my turn prematurely. I think it happens when the play rule is Play 3. My last comment is it would be nice if there was an option to skip watching the cards be played out. I locked my phone in the middle of a game, and when I reopened and connected, it made me slowly rewatch my opponent's last turn, even though I'd already seen it. Same thing happened when I exited the app after the end of a game, but hadn't pressed the End Game button - I had to go and rewatch the whole last turn be taken and watch the winning move before I could tap End Game and clear the game from my list. Bit clunky, but not prohibitive for now.

I love Fluxx, and I am happy to see that the mobile version made it to Android! However while the gameplay here functions well enough, the game feels super sluggish, as animations take a long time to complete: Drawing a card can take 2 seconds, and sometimes you'll need to draw 5 cards, leading to lots of waiting time. In addition, while the cards look just like their physical counterparts, the rest of the UI looks bland. This is a good game, but there are many ways it could be better

I love Fluxx. The game itself IS here but the implementation leaves something to be desired. The UI is both clunky to use and requires too precise of movement from the player. It's unintuitive and then it's difficult to use once you do figure it out. It seems a decent amateur effort. On top of that the servers are pretty unstable. Lots of trouble connecting to find games. Needs a lot of polish but still fun. Hope it gets the polish it deserves.

LOVE the app. It has it's weaknesses, but on the whole I really enjoy playing. The Zombie expansion is reasonably priced and a MUST have! The only thing I am struggling with, is it doesn't seem to allow a win on the 'SHOTGUN' goal card. Each time that has been the goal and I have the keepers for it, gameplay continues as if nothing has happened. With or without zombies, so the mind boggles. Apart from that, it's a great app!

I enjoy the card game very much, so I was pretty excited when my friend showed me the app version and we can play together from across the country. I would give it 5 stars for replay value and how fun it is, but the app interface is pretty clunky and difficult to navigate at times. I don't enjoy logging onto the client everytime I open an ongoing game. That being said it is fun. I hope they introduce dlcs later for expansion content to keep it fresh.

Not about the game of fluxx. About the app. I play fluxx tabletop, and have several types. The game does not stay open. I go, clock runs. I get a alert when it's my turn. I load the server, go into the game. Clock running. I should not be charged time to watch my opponents. I watch the past moves of my opponent, and the screen goes black. Then it has to load back into the server, and back into the game, where you watch it all again, and the clock is still ticking. So that's twice I'm charged.

I've played the physical card game for many years in many different versions. They're great fun and the digital platform sure makes it quicker and easier to play the ever evolving game. For once, here is a game with in-app add ons which aren't exorbitantly priced or actually essential to play the game. I can't wait for some of the other classic themed decks. I've played against the computer and against people I know and it works well. I can't praise the developers of this game enough. Thanks!

Game is great, App not so much. Lot of difficulty looking at cards, and the controls are definitely not very intuitive. I feel as though I missed a tutorial mode, and while I'm sure many of my questions would be solved by reading the looonnnnggg "rulebook" (again - controls are what confuse me, not the game itself), I'd prefer a tutorial mode or something to sorta explain what I need to press instead of simply glowing icons that offer little in the way of direction. Love Fluxx though, great game

The UI is a little weird at first but once you get used to it, it's a lot of fun! My main request would be a notification when I'm about to run out of time. Sometimes the notification that it's my turn seems not to show up, or maybe it does and I just miss it, but either way, a second notification as a little "nudge" / reminder would be helpful!

I want to give this more stars because I love Fluxx but, as others have mentioned, the UI is clunky and the AI is bad. It never seems to target you if there's a card effect like 'Steal a Keeper' & it makes moves that are bad for itself. It can be hard to know why something happened as the discard pile isn't face up as it would be in the real world. I'm also hesitant to buy stuff if I have to pay for every individual version. I'll buy a game outright, pay for the ad-free version but not that.

I'm a big fan of Fluxx, so when this app came out I downloaded it right away. I'd like to remind folks that this is basically the first edition of this app. There are lots of improvements to be made, yes, but Looney Labs and Playdek need time and capital to be able to accomplish this. My suggestions follow many of the same as others: faster, more responsive UI, not having to log in everytime you enter the app, cleaner graphics, and more deck packs.

Needs work. You have to hold a card to read it, and that puts your finger in the way. It lets you join online games that you can't actually play because you lack a DLC pack, and then it won't let you drop out, stalling the game for the others. It can be hard to tell what rules are in effect, because they're not sorted. (The 'Draw X' and 'Play X' rules should always be first, if nothing else.)

Really don't understand why this has a only a 3.6 star rating where it is definitely amazing. It's free to play and has no adverts and the only thing you have to pay for is to use the two ( at the time of the review ) expansions and the base game is still really fun. I downloaded this to see if it is worth buying the actual game and now possibly I won't because this is an amazing free alternative. Only problem is the UI could be slightly improved.

I am changing my 3 star review to 4. I have gotten the hang of how the online play goes. The computer is not a very strategic player, but folks in the online games have been good. Etiquette seems to be if you win, you issue the rematch request. If you are in a multi player game & 1 drops out, computer seems to pick up the spot so game will continue.

Ok so I'm a HUGE Flux fan I have like 7 different editions of the actual card game and was so excited to see that it was an app. But there are a few things that would make the game a million times better. Being able to read cards in your hand without holding them. And a bigger area to play card like discarding it's just a small window and can be a pain also a multi select when you have to discard a ton or cards at once and last but not least MORE EDITIONS PLEASE! Still great!

I love fluxx and own many variations in physical forms. Thia game plays just like the copies I have. My only issue is the game is randomly crashing on me all the time. Especially when i play zombie fluxx, which sucks because it's like money wasted and I really do enjoy the game. I'll give it more stars if you update and fix the crashing error.

Awesome game, great tutorial, free version and offline version. We had friends coming round and bringing this game and they said it was complicated to learn. So I downloaded this and played the tutorial and pkayed some games against the computer. It meant I knew the game for games night. And it is a great game. I have played it pass and play offline which is cool. And I play the BOTS offline. I find it mindful it helps me switch off. I want to buy the ecoflux for games nights now.

Lots of fun, but the UI needs work. The menus are really ugly, very messy, and not very intuitive. Game play is super fun, just like the original game, but the controls are clunky and again, not intuitive. I haven't tried online games, but the bots are not very bright.

Great game, lovely animations especially on the zombie deck. People complaining for loosing access to purchased decks - it's not great but it's a couple pounds guys... Maybe a warning screen saying it would be nice so people wouldn't feel surprised when they come to reinstall. But as I've said, for me the game is amazing, can invite and play with my friends and family. Would love to be able to gift the decks to other people though!

Great game, Poor app. Unusable, unintuitive UI. Can't read cards as so tiny, yet there's so much unused space. When you touch a card to read it, it centers on your finger so you still can't read it. Not easy to know how/where to play a card. Why not just auto place card when you slide it forward. Such a shame as I love the card game. Hope you get it fixed and I'll 5 star but can't play it until then so 1 star.

Great game. Sub-par app. the app doesn't USUALLY ruin the play of the game, but it does occasionally crash forcing you to lose games. The game is exactly the same as the Looney Labs card game, so don't expect anything different. Play other players online or play offline against the computer. Overall, good but slow and not especially good nor bad.

Fluxx the card game has been a family favorite for many years. Having the option to play it online with distant friends has been great. Well done for having the option to turn off sounds. My one complaint is that the computer player is *STUPID*. Like the time it had one keeper for the goal & I had the other keeper, it played Steal a Keeper, & took a different card. As far as I can tell, it's randomly playing cards from hand & choosing targets, & then going through in-play rules & doing them.

Very buggy and poorly thought out implementation. Repeatedly crashes on multiple devices. 3 out of 4 of us had the game crash multiple times during gameplay, we were unable to finish the game because if you had to search the discard pile the game force closed. On the oldest phone, this app made the phone very hot. Which is insane for such a simple app. It doesn't guide you through the game well, and double clicking is super annoying.

I wish there were as many players on Android as there are on iPhone. When I had my iPhone I would have dozens of games going at once. Right now it takes says to get a single game going, and then it moves so slowly. It seems difficult at first, but if you stick with it it's a lot of fun. I'm so happy it's finally out for Android! tl;dr: THIS GAME NEEDS MORE PLAYERS!!

This is a very interesting game, and it plays well. Seriously contemplating buying a physical copy to play with friends on, say, camping trips and other activities. It can put you at the edge of your seat in anticipation of a win...only to have the rules change right before your winning move, totally nullifying everything. So much fun.

Review dropped because the servers are not stable, the fluxx card get is one of the best games ever, and being able to play online with our friends when we aren't together is crazy amazing but to get a server error when playing online is just frustrating. I don't want to play with my friends if the ame is going to be dropped.

Game is fun enough, but the AI players are terribly written. Got stuck in a loop where the deck was empty so every round they would goal mill, throw away all of their goals, then draw them again, followed by them playing a goal and recycling it, only to draw it again because the pile was empty. Against players the game works well enough, so would recommend if you had people to play with. If you intend to play against the bots you probably shouldn't bother.

First off, I really like Fluxx as a game and have several physical versions of it. I can also accept that the digital version looks the way it does, a bit retro and not really polished. But what I don't accept is loosing access to my in-app-purchases of Creepers pack and Zombie fluxx due to reinstalling the game. There' seems to be no way to restore purchses. And no response from the developer on the matter. Also lately a lot of my games have been made unplayable due to whatever I try to do I get "Failed to connect to the server" messages when playing cards. So, Fluxx as a game 5/5. This version of Fluxx 1/5 due to being broken.
