Fluxx

The app really does work well, but the main pet peeve is you can’t minimize while going to other apps. Or even checking notifications . You have to tap the game, wait for it to load, and let the last play replay itself. But other then that the game is beautifully designed and very responsive. Love the time easter egg.

I just became aware of Fluxx recently IRL and was so happy to find the app so I could play with friends when we aren’t together. I noticed immediately that notifications aren’t working, no biggie… until I see more than five games open and waiting to start (with multiplayers) and suddenly the app seems overwhelmed because the offline games are constantly shutting off before I can finish them, and the screens are overlapping each other when I toggle between them. Truly Hope attention is paid to fixing this and adding decks. Thanks!

Well I like Fluxx and am glad to see the app version...HOWEVER...I am finding it hard to read the cards in my hand..and I am using an iPad mini...I can imagine the difficulty someone would have if using a phone...is there any way to zoom in on the cards? Hink I remember seeing something, but I also did not see a quick way to return to the main menu for help...thanks...

Hand limit zero should discard all your cards for you and the process of logging in should be more automated, otherwise well designed. Weapon bonus uses a play when it is not supposed to. Play all but 1 occasionally behaves the same as play all. If you use “Let’s do it again” to ‘take another turn’ after you played “Take another turn” on your last turn it won’t give you a third turn as intended. It would be nice to see the game board centered vertically on newer phones.

This is such a fun game to play! 2 years is a long time to go without an update. So excited to see what they have in store for us!!

It’s a decent implementation of Fluxx, but there are a few problems. Firstly, the cards don’t seem to directly correspond to any of the tabletop versions, with a few Goals and Keepers missing, but even more New Rules missing. Some of the missing rules are ones that can be confusing on the tabletop version (Add 1 any time a card prints a number; draw one more if you have the fewest Keepers; play one more if you have the most) that would be trivial for a computer to keep track of. Online play is the worst feature, though. You can set a variety of time limits, from 15 minutes to 21 days. The very few times I was the last player to join a game, however, nothing happened. (Possibly because the person who created the match was no longer on their device?) So I created an hour long 2 player game, which after a short wait, got a second player. I “won” with 59:46 left because after the first move, my opponent never took their second turn.

Fluxx is a fun game but needs more expansion ports.

The regular game works fine. If you add creepers, it works fine. But when I activate zombie Fluxx, the game crashes mid-game EVERY SINGLE TIME. Quitting and restarting and then opening the saved game, it crashes again at the same spot. You end up just deleting the saved game because it’ll just crash. I tried multiple games and they all crashed and couldn’t be finished. I’m playing solo against AI. I paid for the zombie flux expansion. My phone is updated. There is no excuse for constant crashing. I regret making the extra purchase. I’ll just stick with the base game. I like supporting good indie developers, but if they take money and don’t fix bugs like this that’s not ok. It hasn’t been updated for a year, so clearly that’s a problem. Do not buy the expansions unless you see this get fixed. And developer fix your game or stop taking people’s money. Not ok.

I love Fluxx and have about 10 different decks and a few add-ons too. This bring the core game and the super fun Zombie Fluxx to life. I play this way more than I should 😁 Note to devs: still needs some work and debugging. One thing I’ve noticed when playing with two computer players: very often, when player 2 wins the round, the app says that player 3 is the winner. I’ve also deal with some crashes and unrecoverable games when there are too many rules on the board. I usually just kill the affected game and start a new one, but the crashing needs to be investigated.

I would gladly pay for more specialty versions, such as “Doctor Who”, “Star Trek”, “Chthulhu”, and others! “Zombies” is nice, but there are so many others and you could charge for each one.
