This game is a challenging othello like game which forces the user to make tactical decisions on whether or not to jump over the opponents’ pieces or to duplicate their own in order to dominate the board. It is a fun game because you can either play against the computer or you can play against a friend, which proves to be a lot more entertaining and exciting from personal experience.
Being able to attack from six different sides is more challenging than you would think it would be at first.

Being able to attack from six different sides is more challenging than you would think it would be at first. There are two kinds of moves, jumping and duplicating and both types have their advantages. Jumping being that if you land next to the opponents pieces, you get to overtake them and they turn to your
color. Duplicating has both the advantages of jumping if you duplicate your piece and the duplicate happens to be next to the opponents piece, but also that you obviously get more pieces than you had before which if it is a close game, can help the user a lot.
Although the graphics are not the greatest, it brings the user back to the day where games were more simple and rather than focusing on the graphics, it focuses on the content of the game.
The only downside of this game is that it can be a little confusing if you are used to playing games like checkers where you jump over another piece and it changes colors. In this game however, it only depends on where you land and which other pieces are there from the opponent.
I think this game would be more exciting if the user had a better chance of winning. It seems like against the computer, you are in a useless competition and I felt almost doomed to lose. Rather than having any chance to win at all against the computer, playing against a friend is however less challenging, but it is way more feasible to win.
Another good thing though is that even though it seems impossible to beat the computer, there are three skill levels so that if the user is having difficulties beating the computer, you can first attempt to play on an easier skill level. These levels all seem to be pretty difficult and take a lot of brain power to overcome the computers massive skill level.
Overall, for an extremely old style game, it is a lot of fun.
