No difficulty setting which makes it nearly impossible for me (a beginner) to win. The ai moves quickly and always picks the best move so again, I stand no chance. No sound adjusting either so the clicking is quite annoying. Over all, not great

It doesn't block sometimes. It doesn't capture when it could break up 4 in a row. Also, you need to warn and be warned when you have 4 in a row, like check-mate. Some people even make the other player aware of 3 in a row. It isn't operating at even a beginner's level. Sorry.

The inability to play on the edges totally ruins this game. It's OK otherwise, but this inexplicable edge restriction for the human player is a huge and often unconquerable advantage for the AI.

AI is pretty weak. Should have an option to pick difficulty. Nice visuals though.

Pente is supposed to be 5 in-a-row. On the "STANDARD" version of this game (granted in 4 player mode) the winner only got 4 in-a-row. THEN when I played the "5 IN A ROW" version (me with 3 A.I.) winner still only had to get 4 in a row

A good implementation of a classic board game with not too many ads. Would get 5 stars if you fix a couple of issues: 1 - The AI often takes a VERY long time to think about it's moves. Some code optimization is definitely needed. 2 - Placing of stones is often off from where you actually tap, but the undo button doesn't work while the AI is thinking or if the misread move results in the AI winning before the player gets another move.

While the a.i. is decent and its a good looking game, its very difficult to actually place a stone on the edges which has cost me too many games. Otherwise enjoyable and a good way to kill some time.

It has some bugs. The grid doesn't match up with the game board. Also, I am unable to place a stone on the edge of the grid often causing me to lose the game. I otherwise enjoyed it. I also noticed some repetition in the AI's starting moves. They're always the same.

Good for all age levels, but wish the difficulty level was adjustable when playing the computer........ for my grandson's sake!😆
