Fluxx

Game is fun enough, but the AI players are terribly written. Got stuck in a loop where the deck was empty so every round they would goal mill, throw away all of their goals, then draw them again, followed by them playing a goal and recycling it, only to draw it again because the pile was empty. Against players the game works well enough, so would recommend if you had people to play with. If you intend to play against the bots you probably shouldn't bother.

Lots of fun, but the UI needs work. The menus are really ugly, very messy, and not very intuitive. Game play is super fun, just like the original game, but the controls are clunky and again, not intuitive. I haven't tried online games, but the bots are not very bright.

I wish there were as many players on Android as there are on iPhone. When I had my iPhone I would have dozens of games going at once. Right now it takes says to get a single game going, and then it moves so slowly. It seems difficult at first, but if you stick with it it's a lot of fun. I'm so happy it's finally out for Android! tl;dr: THIS GAME NEEDS MORE PLAYERS!!

Great game. Sub-par app. the app doesn't USUALLY ruin the play of the game, but it does occasionally crash forcing you to lose games. The game is exactly the same as the Looney Labs card game, so don't expect anything different. Play other players online or play offline against the computer. Overall, good but slow and not especially good nor bad.

I love fluxx and own many variations in physical forms. Thia game plays just like the copies I have. My only issue is the game is randomly crashing on me all the time. Especially when i play zombie fluxx, which sucks because it's like money wasted and I really do enjoy the game. I'll give it more stars if you update and fix the crashing error.

I agree with a lot of the other reviews where the game is fun, however having the expansions tied to the device instead of the account is just bad programming. Also I fine it very frustrating how many times I have to log back in to the game, even if it is saving my password. You just alerted me that it's my turn, why does that require me then to log back in?

Fluxx the card game has been a family favorite for many years. Having the option to play it online with distant friends has been great. Well done for having the option to turn off sounds. My one complaint is that the computer player is *STUPID*. Like the time it had one keeper for the goal & I had the other keeper, it played Steal a Keeper, & took a different card. As far as I can tell, it's randomly playing cards from hand & choosing targets, & then going through in-play rules & doing them.

Ok so I'm a HUGE Flux fan I have like 7 different editions of the actual card game and was so excited to see that it was an app. But there are a few things that would make the game a million times better. Being able to read cards in your hand without holding them. And a bigger area to play card like discarding it's just a small window and can be a pain also a multi select when you have to discard a ton or cards at once and last but not least MORE EDITIONS PLEASE! Still great!

Needs work. You have to hold a card to read it, and that puts your finger in the way. It lets you join online games that you can't actually play because you lack a DLC pack, and then it won't let you drop out, stalling the game for the others. It can be hard to tell what rules are in effect, because they're not sorted. (The 'Draw X' and 'Play X' rules should always be first, if nothing else.)

I'm a big fan of Fluxx, so when this app came out I downloaded it right away. I'd like to remind folks that this is basically the first edition of this app. There are lots of improvements to be made, yes, but Looney Labs and Playdek need time and capital to be able to accomplish this. My suggestions follow many of the same as others: faster, more responsive UI, not having to log in everytime you enter the app, cleaner graphics, and more deck packs.

The UI is a little weird at first but once you get used to it, it's a lot of fun! My main request would be a notification when I'm about to run out of time. Sometimes the notification that it's my turn seems not to show up, or maybe it does and I just miss it, but either way, a second notification as a little "nudge" / reminder would be helpful!

Not about the game of fluxx. About the app. I play fluxx tabletop, and have several types. The game does not stay open. I go, clock runs. I get a alert when it's my turn. I load the server, go into the game. Clock running. I should not be charged time to watch my opponents. I watch the past moves of my opponent, and the screen goes black. Then it has to load back into the server, and back into the game, where you watch it all again, and the clock is still ticking. So that's twice I'm charged.

I enjoy the card game very much, so I was pretty excited when my friend showed me the app version and we can play together from across the country. I would give it 5 stars for replay value and how fun it is, but the app interface is pretty clunky and difficult to navigate at times. I don't enjoy logging onto the client everytime I open an ongoing game. That being said it is fun. I hope they introduce dlcs later for expansion content to keep it fresh.

I love Fluxx. The game itself IS here but the implementation leaves something to be desired. The UI is both clunky to use and requires too precise of movement from the player. It's unintuitive and then it's difficult to use once you do figure it out. It seems a decent amateur effort. On top of that the servers are pretty unstable. Lots of trouble connecting to find games. Needs a lot of polish but still fun. Hope it gets the polish it deserves.

I love Fluxx, and I am happy to see that the mobile version made it to Android! However while the gameplay here functions well enough, the game feels super sluggish, as animations take a long time to complete: Drawing a card can take 2 seconds, and sometimes you'll need to draw 5 cards, leading to lots of waiting time. In addition, while the cards look just like their physical counterparts, the rest of the UI looks bland. This is a good game, but there are many ways it could be better

Suuuuuper slow animations. There is a setting to make them a little faster but it's still pretty slow. Fun game, love all the physical decks I have. But the app hasn't been updated in over a year and it needs a lot of improvement at the moment. I'd love to see more expansions on here, with good syncing.

Almost four years later and I have the same issues with the game! Usually, I love this game, but if I am playing the computer, especially on Zombies, it will crash a few rounds in. This has been happening for a good while now and even though I keep reporting it, nothing is done. I'm getting a bit pissed because I paid for this app. It's been over a year since I put up this review and the game STILL does this. It especially seems to crash if I am on the verge of winning against the computer.
