Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Instead of buying it we can play it right here! Great.
We remember we played it a lot like 3 years ago, but now when we revisited the game, the online feature doesnt work because the servers were shut down. Its unfortunate that nobody plays the game anymore.
Impressive how much the game will make you want to commit warcrimes on a tortoise.
Our son loves the game, but not ads. :-) is it possible to have pro version to remove ads.
Pretty good simple game except it is hard and youre unable to turn off ads event by paying $.99 or something.
Game play/animation works perfectly and graphics are excellent! Im now inspired and am getting a board game version of.
When we started we played against the fox in single player and the fox was hard.
It wont let us jump over the Animals And Its Only Level One.
Every time there's more than 1 way to move to eat our piece, cpu keeps spamming the same 2 animal over and over no matter how many times we stop or block them.
Fix that disconnecting bug is so annoying.
Played the board game version when we were a child. Best version of Chinese Animal Chess in the App Store.
