Othello veterans might enjoy sticking to the Classic theme, while others might prefer the handsome Seasoned Wood theme, the adorable Sailor Moon theme or even the Persian Spray theme, inspired by traditional Iranian ceramics.

Well done! Just this...

I find AI level 4 very easy but 5 very hard. Could one or the other be adjusted? Also I accidentally tap the screenshot button semi-regularly when I wanted to Undo / step back. It triggers even if i move my finger before lifting (unlike many apps) so there's no avoiding the hassle of waiting for a screenshot, cancelling, going back to history page, finding the step I wanted and tapping the correct button.

Fantastic game

The game is good and the sound effects are calming, but there are a few things that might need to be improved, such as increasing the randomness of the openings, I found that the ai openings don't change if the chosen ai level doesn't change, but this can be stale if the ai has already been defeated with the same move before, so I hope that the ability to randomize ai openings can be increased

Clearly made with love

I wish every app was like this… Simple, well designed, and responsive app to practice strategy. I’m new to Othello but skilled at other similar games. Just took me about 10 games to beat the level 2 bot, and there are 8 levels to fight, so the challenge should last a while… the characters are cute too, and the themes look good.

Great except one thing

The app has 8 play levels, from dead easy to very difficult. I’ve only won once, by a thin margin, on level 8. This would be five stars if there was the ability to take back even one move. Primarily this is important because touch spots aren’t always right. It can also be useful for investigating alternate play at critical junctions.

Review:

This game is pretty good. I like how you can change the difficulty. I don’t like how it doesn’t let you unlock the different themes freely, without purchasing it online…good game though.
