Customer Reviews
NO IDIOT MODE PLEASE!!!
I do not need to be told by flashing squares where my next tile lie options are!!
This needs to be able to be TURNED OFF!!!!
Completely ruins the game for REAL BLOKUS players!!
I need to be able to see ALL my tiles at one time WITHOUT SCROLLING or going to status page. I can see all the other players tiles at once!!!!!!
The placement grid needs to be able to be turned off. !!!!
Go online and play at blokus.com
That is how this app should play
GET IT TOGETHER GUYS!!!!!!
Blokus online veteran here
I've been waiting FOREVER for this official app to finally hit the app store since I play a ton of blokus on the free online version. This version is cool, but could be better.
Here's some things that need to be fixed asap:
-Pass and play mode
-Option to remove the annoying flashing "where you can move" squares during gameplay
-Option to save a game for later
-Better interface for positioning the bloks (maybe just button pushes to rotate and flip)
-Option for no time limit in local multiplayer!
My wish list:
-Integration with the online profiles I have on the blokus online website game
-Ability to play with those on the online website not just iPhone users. This would help since online mode rarely has other iPhone useres to play with...
-Make the time limits the same as on the online game (ie 7 minutes per person per game rather than 60 sec per move)
These additions would make this game my most used iPhone app ever by far. For now, it's a little frustrating to decide on a move, find the piece, position it, then play it all under 60 sec when it's a difficult move.
money grab
This is a money grab by Gameloft who must have secured the rights to the video game based on the board game. Much like a video game based on a popular movie, it has the right look and emulates the original idea, but fails to capture real gameplay. Blokus is played like chess, one piece at a time, against other people. Without the inclusion of pass-and-play and turn based internet play, Gameloft has chosen to throw a tired live multiplayer backend into the game that matches the play of an action or shooter, but fails in the hands of a board game.
Newcomers to the game will delight in the simple challenge of a decent computer opponent in the single player game, get discouraged by a multiplayer filled with dropped players and games ending abruptly, and then get confused by their inability to play with somebody standing right next to them who doesn't own their own copy of the game or an iPhone.
