Customer Reviews
Tremendous fun!
This is a fantastic app: fun, addicting, and fairly straight forward. It's great for relieving boredom in waiting rooms etc, or before bed, as there is the option to play full games (8 ends, 8 stones), half games (4&4), or custom games of any variation.That being said the AI is a bit weak in strategy (but so am I).
My one complaint is that the AI does not concede a losing game. There should be a way for the player or AI to concede.
Even without this option it is still a 5 star app.
The curling app to get
If you’re looking for a serious curling game app, this is the one to get. They seemed to have gotten the physics just right. It would be cool if there was some animation or sound to go along with the sweeping. As it is, you’re just wiping your grubby finger back and forth on the screen. Also, there are a few little bugs you can take advantage of as far as the AI's decision-making goes.
Excellent
Very entertaining and engrossing. Fairly accurate physics and good gameplay. Only suggestion would be to allow for defensive brooming as it occurs in the real sport.
