Amazing - But where is the lava & meteor die?

My cousin bought the physical game at a game store and brought it on vacation. The graphics are beautiful, it was simple to learn and having a different game every time you play made this game addicting. We were glued to it for our entire weekend getaway - literally played it probably 50 times. An offhanded comment led to a search in the App Store for an app version of the game and low and behold we found it! This app adds additional elements not found in the base physical game which is awesome. But it appears that the app doesn’t have the lava & meteor expansion dice?? I see the desert & rainforest expansion options are coming soon but what about the others? Any plan to incorporate them into the app? The meteor/lava dice were one of our favorite part of the physical game!!

Been thinking about the physical version

I had been thinking about buying the physical version of the game but had never pulled the trigger. So when the App came out, I thought I could give it a try before buying the board version. The App is solid and I love the asynchronous gameplay. I can play with the wife and kids and we can all play at our own pace with no downtime. The game itself is a nice little puzzle as you try to hit goals and leave yourself many options early then rush to close off open ends in the later part of the game. I’m not terribly good yet but am having a blast. Two complaints: the tutorial game should not give you achievements. I want high scores to come from my own games. Secondly, the motivations are wonky and I have to turn them off to get the red notification number to disappear. Hope both things are fixed, but neither are enough to deduct a star.

Great game but UX clunky and bugs

It’s truly a really good game, animations are amazing but overall UX is terrible — you’re really gotta be using this app for a while to know how to navigate because it’s the least intuitive thing, it’s definitely overwhelmed. Found some bugs which are really annoying: 1. if you play with friends, and go to view their board after game (why can’t i do this without leaving the game that just finished?), you click on “View Bord”, then somehow it prompts you to board and “Start” play button and after you click it, this game gets unintentionally deleted from your history. 2. if you open friends list from “my challenges” from one of your games, and go to their profile and click X to click it, you cannot quit the friend list view afterwards because its X just gets broken 3. not a bug but common sense question — how am i supposed to see how my friends did on Daily Challenge without clicking through all pages from ranking? It should be the most essential feature, I don’t care about global ranking as much as about my friends’ scores. Nevertheless, great game but still some room for improvement.

Decent implementation but hard to see rules mid game

It would be extremely useful to see the expansion scoring rules as part of the drop-down general scoring information. I couldn’t find a quick reference. In fact I didn’t manage to find it at all and had to use an external source. If the info is there it could be made more easily available; if it’s not there then it needs to be added.

Wonderful game, but never lose your password

When you were in the game, it is amazing. Intuitive UX during play, great graphics and sound, and a lot of fun. If you ever lose your password on an ipad, though, you are literally unable to recover. That’s because they send you a recovery link to your email (if you remember the email associated with the account, which it doesn’t tell you) but in order to copy the reset key, you need to app switch to your email program — at which point Trains Ink does its own restart aaaand now you can’t enter the key.

Great Game, 1 bug/annoyance

Great game. A great adaptation of the bird game, with some fun additions for the app, but also great to still be able to play the base game. It’s annoying to not really be able to play offline, but really annoying that you can start and play a full game online, but then get to the end and it won’t score it, and then immediately throws out the whole game. Would love to be able to play this offline while flying.

More turns!

Pleas add more turns! I swear I fail because there’s not enough turns and I’m not just bad at the game lol. In all seriousness tho, it’s addicting super fun once you get the hang of it. Had to go through the tutorial twice to really understand and it. I can see more things are coming soon really excited for a new map. Maybe a randomized placement of special squares?? That would be pretty cool. Great game.

Was really nice implementation, now it locks up after iOS update

The Good: Nice implementation of the board game which is one of my favorites, when it works. The Bad: Bummed no more expansions have been developed. Also, The ‘restart a game from where you left’ feature never worked. Would usually lock up the app and need a restart. Not a huge deal because the game is so quick to play. The Ugly: Now with latest iOS updates, app locks up in the middle of game play constantly making this basically unplayable.
