Mancala Adventures Reviews

These power ups are awful. Makes the game completely different and entirely annoying and stupid. I wanted a casual game. But instead I play a computer that has unlimited power ups and can do complex calculations involving their infinite power ups. Even when I win, it feels like complete chance or algorithm choosing to lose. Just let me play the regular game i liked as a kid

This game is perpetrating fraud in all honestly. The powerups you have to buy the computer gets for free to use against you so they should not be able to charge for them one. Two the computer does not have to follow the same rules as you do they can make moves you can not at the beginning if the game to win. Plain and simple they have rigged the game to rob people

Downloaded game as part of a webtoon promo. The game is fine but the power ups are just cheating. I don’t have the problems with the game always winning but realize I have to use power ups to win half the time. Ads are after most levels or losses.

My problem is that the game and webtoon lie about me using a vpn or other things I don’t know how to do. They refuse to pay the promo.

Like everyone else fix the computer power up issue. The computer can use them before during their first moves but you can’t so even if you have power ups that you’ve won in the game you’ll still probably lose. The game gets so boring when you lose all the time because the computer has different rules.

Bruh right when you get around the level 20s is when you should uninstall. Ai already starts cheating by using power ups to win so whats the point in even playing. You know what don’t even install this game in the first place. Also if mobile games have a life system and there’s hundreds of levels, you already know it’s designed to be pay to win

Power ups make the game unplayable. Not only does the computer make the best series of moves 9/10 times, but computer power-ups combined with an ad after every game where you win or lose. Straight up needs the ads removed or else the game is incredibly frustrating. And the computer starts with a tray where they can get 11-12 marbles before you even move.

Absolutely garbage excuse of an app or “game”. First off, theres an add every 30 seconds (literally). Second off, you literally cannot win a game after level 50. The bots use 10 powerups every game and make it quite literally impossible to beat unless you spend money and buy power ups yourself. You never get the first move, and in turn, every single time you start your move, you will be 10 stones behind already from the first move. The opponent is borderline impossible, the only way to beat it is if you play the level over and over and hope you get a better RNG on your stone lineup. The problem with that is you only get 5 hearts, and have to either buy more, wait, or watch an ad to get more. Either way, this is complete garbage, you cannot expect anyone to play this longer than 10 minutes, as it is literally unplayable. You spend more time watching ads than you do watching the AI get 20 stones first move. Absolute garbage game and honestly a scam. This game needs to be taken off MancalaAdventures store immediately.

I’m looking for a game of Mancala that plays by the actual rules. This has too many made up rules and power ups with no way to switch them off and play straight Mancala. Disappointed, will have to keep searching.

I loved this game but after I passed level 240 the ads for Seat Away causes the game to glitch. It keeps forcing you to MancalaAdventures Store and doesn’t stop until you force close MancalaAdventures . It’s bad enough that after each game you are forced to watch ads then to get in game tools you have to watch an ad only for them to glitch and you never get the items or have to play the level over. No option to buy no ads indefinitely only can buy no ads for 30 days for $3.99.

Keep getting an error when I go to load the game that Offline Mode isn’t available and that I need to connect to the internet. I am connected to the internet and I’m able to access all of my other games/apps on my phone. Just not this one

The game is great when it works. It constantly glitches and says there is no internet connection. You can go on wifi or off, reset it. Still doesn’t work. Makes you lose streaks, can’t make purchases or even watch the ads for prizes .

I have enjoyed playing this game for the most part. I think the power-ups were a creative addition to a classic game. However, I do wish there were a mode to play without them as the computer can be insufferable sometimes. I’ve ready many other reviews about this same problem, and it sounds like the developer is looking into it which is hopeful. I appreciate a dev who listens to their audience.
I am now on level 56 and have come across a bug that no longer allows me to play. The star chest at the top left of the main page glows like it is ready to be open and does not allow me to click on anything else besides it. It is not ready to be opened however. I have tried redownloading MancalaAdventures and made sure it is up to date. Hopefully this bug can be patched soon so I can continue to play.
So overall I would recommend this game but be warned that if you come across this bug you may no longer be able to play.

This game is fun but the computer power ups are RIDICULOUS. They use them the first turn and then there’s no way for you to catch up. They played first so you are up a creek without a paddle and there was nothing you can do. I understand it is part of the “difficulty” but unless you want to buy and use power ups like they do, it’s unevenly stacked.
Either we need to be supplied with power ups in the same manner every round or the computer shouldn’t use them the first turn or something. It’s absolutely ridiculous.

I am getting paid to play this game and I’m frustrated with the ads. It’s not worth getting paid to play this game. Either shorten the ads or skip playing them at the end of everything. In real life if an advertiser over plays a commercial, I will not buy their product. Maybe this is a learning experience.

Never played mancala before
there is a problem
after the game comes back from an ad the sound cuts off and I have to restart the game/app losing my progress in the game making me start the level over again
and the computer wins everytime like us new players don’t ever get a chance to win
it’s like the computer is better than a human player
plus I’m not an expert at the game I’m just a beginner
it’s like y’all don’t want us to win like y’all r setting us up to Fail every time and really 3 lives is all we get
Im at level 27 and I’m wasting lives cause the computer always wins
so who do u think is better an Ai computer player or a human player

I’ve had it for about 2-3 months now. After passing a certain amount of levels I always beat the robot or we tie And I break it. For the most part the 2 bad things are the ads for every little thing and the up charging of coins in the gift shop went from 25 and 80 to 300 and 750. That is just ridiculous especially since you only receive 1 token after each game win. Fix it!

honestly I think it’s a great game and I like the fact that the bot doesn’t always let us win bc it makes it feel real. what pisses me off is when it captures our marbles or wtv and they laugh but i love it 🤣🤣😭😭

Definitely the fun offline game I was looking for. I understand it’s a twist on the original game but it’s fresh and exciting. I think y’all should dive more into multiplayer. The customizations are awesome and the game is definitely worth the challenge, especially against real opponents. Keep it up! -DJBS

I'm on level 200, It took me a while to figure out the game. I lost many games. watching my opponent play, I got better at the game. I'll tell people its like playing Chess. It's also a counting game. So I love the game, being 62 years old; the game keeps me sharp, working my mind and remembering basic math.

Mancala Adventures is a solid app that brings back fond memories for me of playing the classic game as a child. While it has some minor glitches, the fun factor generally outweighs these inconveniences. The gameplay stays true to the original, and it's easy to get hooked on strategizing against the AI. Overall, it’s a good pick for anyone wanting to enjoy Mancala on the go.
