Back Alley

The game itself is fun but the cards are played WAY too fast You cant tell who led It is very hard to play your card The box is too little and it keeps rejecting the card unless you drag it dead center The stats arent accurate either Ive win dozens of games but it still shows Ive won none Fun but frustrating Please fix        Needs improvements

Back Alley is a classic partnership tricktaking card game that combines skill and luck However this iOS version is NOT a partnership game youre on your own It is also not an online multiplayer game you can play with friends What it IS is a pretty good representation of the card game If you were only playing in single player mode you had bad eyeglasses and you had trouble handling cards My biggest complaint is that the animation moves too fast such that you dont get a very good sense of who led out who took the trick or how the general sequencing of the game is proceeding Every hand seems to kind of happen all at once You want to say hey wait a second what just happened Suggestions Slow game play down Represent who led to the trick Leave the trick on the table until you as the player say to proceed Show tricktaking status Make it easier to grab cards Fix bug that apparently prevents the big blooper from pulling the highest trump from other players hands when led to a trick This is a key rule of the game but currently other players can cheat by holding their highest trump even though they should have played it These changes along with the suggestions offered in the other reviews would make this more enjoyable Good initial effort though           Has potential Refinements needed

I like the overall concept of this game however there are a few things that need tweaking 1 Let me see throughout the game what each player has bidtaken 2 Its hard to grab cards that are in the corner and behind other cards 3 The artificial intelligence will sometimes play a lower trump after higher trump has been cut if its their only trump even on hardest setting 4 Game glitches if interrupted by another app 5 Sharper graphics would be a plus Im not trying to harp I actually like the game quite a bit Just trying to get it improved           Nice Concept

Play cards is difficult in not place perfect it rejects Sound Team support multiplayer support And all the above suggestions        Ok but needs improvement

A good start but needs more features like team play and also its very hard to tell which card was played first        Needs a lot of improvement

This game is total garbage Cards are played so fast you can barely tell what was led No multiplayer support not a fun backalley game at all I wish I wouldve thrown a dollar in the trash instead of buying this game     Waste of money

Need to fix winning percentage on stats screen It stays at 0 when I won plenty of games Partnership and multiplayer would be nice With those features fixed and added along with Gamecenter this would be a 5 star Add these and I will be back to update this review           Good game
