Graphical glitches on Android,
★★★★ Pooliptico 5/8/2026 v0.7
Purchased this when I owned a s20+ and game worked fine and was enjoyable. I now have an A55 and the game stutters and will not run on it. It has been like this for about a year now. I have tried to email developers and put tickets in but nothing has come of it. Real shame because it is an enjoyable game.
★★★★ Michael Niles 5/7/2026 v0.7
Needlessly incompatible with GrapheneOS on a Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
★★★★ Eric Schubert 5/7/2026
Great game but it can't be installed on GrapheneOS
★★★★ Vaxole 5/6/2026
Bought it and it was great. uninstalled it on accident while freeing up space but now it says it's incompatible with my device (which is a pixel 9 pro xl) which had no problems running it before.
★★★★ Zachary Hall 5/6/2026 v0.7
I've been playing for about a year and it randomly just reset all my win! I still have all the decks and the collections, but I have to restart on every deck. This is really disheartening
★★★★ Gabriel Ilarraza 5/4/2026 v0.7
It's unacceptable that it's been almost a year since I have started to experience issues with the UI and the game itself and no solution has been provided yet, not even updates regarding this issue. Completely unacceptable.
★★★★ Ilmi Hakim 4/28/2026 v0.7
screen glitches for Android for over a year now, Devs clearly abandoned this game for the phone version. wish I could refund, it's kinda unplayable
★★★★ Ngurah Mahendra 4/24/2026 v0.7
so... you going to update it or no? as the last update is last year on 2025.. I can't enjoy the game as its unresponsive most of the time now. i can do a refund issue and continue playing them on pc. but the game itself screams for portability. i hope you really do "care" and really updated it.
★★★★ Krish 4/17/2026
this is a review not for the game itself but the android port cause it's outright bad. please playstack at least fix the insane battery drain and heating issue and my life is yours
★★★★ Ryan 4/16/2026 v0.7
terrible on mobile. the whole drag to select nonsense they worked up just doesn't function properly
★★★★ Julio Daher 4/12/2026 v0.7
Used to love this game but they broke it with updates and now the graphics flicker in a horrible way. Unplayable.
★★★★★ Rick Leach 4/26/2026 v0.7
Could easily be one of my favorite mobile games of all time (heavy mobile game player since the ipod touch), but like so many other games, they manipulate the RNG to simulate good/bad luck and increased difficulty at the higher levels. The RNG manipulation for the store and deck are especially obvious at the orange and gold levels. It's an odd choice considering there are no in-game purchases to steer players toward when they get frustrated (a big reason why many game makers manipulate RNG).
★★★★★ Lukas Galvelis 4/26/2026
Every time I unplugged my headphones, I couldn't hear any audio.
★★★★★ Ramazan 4/22/2026 v0.7
No update or fixes came (?) the graphics still cursed
