Curling 3D for Android
Would give perfect score but 2 things not right. Any rock not over the hog line or touching it suppose to be out. Any rocks behind the circle line suppose to be removed too. Otherwise, it's a good game. One other thing I would like to see changed is the 1 vs 1 section. There needs to be a way that when a player is randomly selected, it should know people's level and match them close to each player's experience. I'm at level 13 and my random player was level 149.. there's got to be a way to match players closer to near the same level.
Great game except for hackers. There is a hack that allows some to bump or change finish of a throw. Yoy can go from having 2 scoring to opponent having the score, changing after the rocks stopped. Developers have not replied ti report. Fine for some fun but don't waste your money in upgrades
Don't bother downloading as the games full of cheats who can stand losing so use cheats to reset stones after the stones have stopped against them. I had a 3 stone head jump to a 2 stone loss by some cheating idiot.. Don't waste your time if you actually want to play fairly.. I installed as developer does nothing about it... Shame as its not a bad game otherwise
I curl often and can say that this is the most realistic curling game avaliable but I am disappointed by how many opponents leave the game when they are loosing. Could use a way to gain coins for upgrades like better shoes or brooms to improve sweeping for example. Also could use higher entry fee for 4 end games so we can enjoy quick games at higher competing level.
Sweepers don't sweep at random, yet VERY frequent, intervals. Scoring positioning is frequently erroneous, totally screws up any decent semblance of a fair game. After a month of playing, no fixes yet. I am very close to uninstalling. FIX IT!!! Update: Giraffe STILL refuses to fix the bugs, but still wants you to spend money. UNINSTALLED! UPDATE- 3 months later, these ripoff artists haven't fixed ANYTHING!!! RE-UNINSTALLED!!!
Great idea! Terribly glitch. If you're a stickler for physics, logic and consistency, then this is not for you. Stones are constantly moved after play is complete, and obvious points are not awarded. Can be very frustrating...just like some other Giraffe games. Fix it and I'll be a big fan!
Not bad for free. Minimal ads. The two drawbacks are that in career mode, the game is slanted in the opponents favour too much. And in 1 on 1, it takes forever to load an opponent. Fix that and I would give it a five star rating. Also, it would be nice to see the developer actually respond to some people's concerns.
This is by far the best curling game ive seen for mobile. As a huge curling fan i can say the physics are bit off (rocks arent supposed to continue sliding forward on a nose hit). All around, the game is well done.
Whoever made this game doesn't understand how curling works or the rules. 6 stones instead of 8, OK that can slide. The game sometimes enforces the free guard rule and sometimes it doesn't. Real stones do not curl 16 feet. The game sometimes allows you to sweep sometimes it doesn't.
The online matches can be quite competitive. Occasionally glitchy reshuffling of the stones afterwards can drive you mad, and lots of international matches seem to end with opponents having "connection" time out issues, but maybe that's just sore losers who can't take falling behind? Please fix the random reshuffling glitches to get 5 stars.
Getting curl with basic stone quite random. Sometimes run out of time cos when selecting spin something puts the aim arrows into a tiz. Difficult to get the aim back before time runs out. Luckily watching experienced players is a great way to learn the basics of strategic planning....
Hits are unproportional to how curling is played. If a rock Is "hogged" it remains in play for some reason? The background track is gross. When the opponent shots I have an option to spin the rock? The rocks don't 'spin' at all because the app can't comprehend handle. After rocks return to rest after being moved, the app glitches and gives 'shot rock' to whomever it feels like. You can only 1v1 and there are 6 rocks per end.
Fun to start with but unrealistic. Freezing onto stones doesn't work and the curl you can get is unrealistic. Also, opponets able to randomly move stones after they've had their go.....
This game could easily get a 5 star rating if it made the menus and interface more refined as well as getting rid of the bug when stones just change position after a throw with the animation freezing. Game play is good fun - bugs aside.
Good game with the exception of terrible sweeping. The sweepers dont sweep when you ask as if they think they know what you're wanting. No I want you to sweep when I f'n tell you! They always f it up by not sweeping. It's ruining this game and makes me not want to play. I'm not alone on this either. Fix this please.
Great game, but as others have said a few tweaks to the rules and you got a winner. Take out weight shots shouldn't follow the other rock either. But it's awesome. Wish I could challenge friends o Facebook.
New edited review... was playing with an entry fee of 25k. Opponent was timing out and came back with seconds to spare. Next thing I knew, it said I timed out. Give me my coins back!!!! @^#*$@^&*$
There are several things wrong with this game from a curling standpoint. Rock spin, takeout physics, computer strategy, etc. However, the online action is fun and even somewhat addictive. Overall, this is the best curling game I have found for a phone.
Tuition would help for beginners. One gripe is the inconsistency of spin shots. If I replicate my opponents shot, my shot is never as accurate. Plus the stones sometimes jump to different positions???? Glitches need addressing.
No way to play friends over the Internet. ..no penalty for quitting early. . You have no way except this to contact you. ..and your automation is really terrible.
Could be really good but, as with the bowls game, a great shot can turn into a bad shot when your stone either disappears or magically turns into your opponents colour. Don't spend any money on this game just play for free and put up with the frustration.
Really enjoying this game. However, there should be more stones available for coinage rather than cash, and it shouldn't cost thousands of coins to purchase other, better stones. Other than that, I think this game is great. Will recommend to my friends that enjoy curling.
It's ok, they got the free guard zone rule ALL wrong. If you accidentally press the home button you forfeit immediately, 6 rocks instead of 8, and you play to points not ends. Not quite curling.
So many things are wrong here. Starting from the hilariously bad design, through unrealistic physics, to extremely annoying glitches (like when, after a shot, stones just rearrange themselves in the circle for no reason). Also, "premium" stones are heavier, which has nothing to do with the basic rules of curling and gives an unfair advantage to one player.
Not true curling but closer then any game I have played so far and it's still fun. There seems to be a glich where stones jump to a different position after the throw, but doesn't happen often. There is no hog line violation and it's difficult to promote so most games end up being a culster f in the 4ft. Once you realize it's a game and not real curling your addicted.
It's not lag either as they have stopped completely. WTF? I wish there was a way to play my friend other than passing the phone back and forth. If there is I haven't seen it. And if dev wants to make some money why not have premium currency payouts for watching adverts like rape'meium games. So we can buy a few better stones. Other than that I like the game and the prices are quite reasonable. Glitch allowed me to buy gold coin stone at 10k for only 240
Usage is at a point where it takes too long imho to find a challenger most of the time. So far I am enjoying the game and developing my strategy, I wish there were more players, or a practice option to improve one's game when real-time players are harder to find.
Whoever wrote this program has no idea about curling nor physics. Rocks in the house that are hit and going out of play often jump back into the four foot. With the FGZ, opponent's stones can't be removed from play but you can remove your own stones from the FGZ, except in this program, which changes the rules of curling in this and many ways. Hogged rocks remain in play. Stones passed the back line remain in play. This game uses six rocks, not eight. This games uses a set number of points, not ends.
Initially loved it, was great fun. When you get a little better and win some games , earning points doesn't buy you better stones, you actually have to pay money, CON!!!! People disconnect all the time during the game which is boring and now Im not playing because of that. Also, stones jump to another position once they come to a stop, CRAP!
The game itself is great but let down by 2 things. Firstly the stones stop far too easy as if they're not on ice, they should run smoother. More annoyingly however is that the stones keep moving, you can end an end having the closest stone but yet it goes on to the following end and your opponent took the end. Fix these issues and you get a 5
It can be fun, but the physics are off. It's obvious the game was made by people who don't curl. Having to pay money to upgrade rocks in a cheesy game is absolute greed! A coupon would be nice... Will rate differently depending on future updates.
Decent game. Does take a while to find an opponent, and you get one with upgraded rocks ... Bit of a mismatch but a revenue generator so I get it. Curling-wise you can make your shots a huge percent of the time. They have some odd interpretation of the free guard rule and shots get reset when they shouldn't. They haven't worked out the physics of elastic collisions - while kinda close, hits do not behave like real rocks.
Enjoy the graphics, controls, love the 1 on 1 against international players and career game options. Seems consistent and easy to learn. Needs a few tweaks like... throws that don't make hog line or touch hogline must be taken out of play. Have seen the bug that others reported, sometimes rock after thrown disappears , some kind of glitch that happens occasionally. Sometimes the sweepers don't react to my movement to sweep. Would love to see 8 stones instead of 6. If you love curling, this should satisfy
Could be good but massively flawed. Rocks will sometimes be randomly removed or replaced after a shot, especially on takeouts. If you drive opponents rock off the board it might be replaced while your rock is removed - returning the board to the state is was in before you shot. This and similar random placementsremovals occur too often. Make a good shot and get randomly penalized. Would be worth a few bucks if it worked right.
It's a lot of fun and for the most part accurate. The way the rocks react to being hit could use a bit more accuracy. Only issue is the glitches when the shot is done and all the rocks stop, the game completely changes the rocks around. I have won and lost games due to these. They are such a pain to deal with as they happen multiple times every game, sometimes multiple times in every end.
Really fun game and well made. Maybe not perfect compared to real curling (there will always be complainers) but a very pleasant game and app. There seems to be only 2 career levels and it would be nice to be able to pick friends to play against, for now only random. Would play against friends and family but can't pick them. Keep up the good work dev's and add more please.
Not a bad game but the designers obviously don't know the basic rules of curling. Hogged rocks stay in play and even if the first 2 stones enter the house and are removed, they are returned and other rock is burned. Sweepers often either stop or don't sweep at all despite you trying to. Frustrating and early on in playing it...it's ok at best.
The mechanics of the game are good, but the physics are complete garbage. It should be impossible to drive a line of 4 rocks all straight through the back but it happens all the time, plus on straight takeout shots the shot rock continues forward after the hit as if it merely hit a speed bump rather than a solid object. Also, the option to throw a stone with no rotation, and thus no curl, is totally inaccurate. All rocks curl one way of the other, hence the name "Curling".
Very poor, it wouldn't let me move when it was my go. This was also clearly happening to my opposition at times when they would time out

Very fun game. Multiplayer is awsome! Please add private matches so i can play with friends. Physics still need work to hold up to real world standard. Rocks dont follow thru on take outs in real life as they do in this game. Also (rules), a rock needs to make it all the way over the hogline in order to stay in play. Thank you for making this game!
