The Last Rock Curling

Without a doubt the best curling game on the market, hands down. Having curled for quite a while, it does a good job of taking the weight of throws and integrating sweeps into it that are pretty consistent with reality. 3 things could make it better... 1. Allowing opponents to sweep stones beyond the tee line. I understand that it would be difficult to integrate that in multiplayer play, but it would be nice. 2. When stones collide, they do so with almost perfect transfer of energy and glide. In reality, there a lot of friction between rocks when they strike each other that scrub off energy. These things glide like they’re weightless in space. There’s no gear effect or rock “drag” in the direction of a carom. That’s why this game never gives you a true “freeze”. 3. There should be a random change in “pebble” or overall curl from game to game. No sheet is the same twice, and better curlers get a true handle on ice conditions than others. It would make two player games more interesting, and it could be integrated into the AI version as well, I think. It would make games between strangers more interesting as well. You’d have to learn more than one aim point, weight and sweep for each spot and angle. Overall, an excellent game, though.

I’ve downloaded and played most of the free curling games available and found them either unrealistic or too easy in AI mode. This game ticks all the boxes. No fancy graphics, but who needs them. Challenging in both medium and hard AI modes. Those of us who don’t need to win every time find this challenge enjoyable. Worth the money for sure.

This game has real possibilities. However, I would like to be able to ask some questions even after going through the tutorial more than once. For example. What does, “no handle “ mean”? My problem is that there is no way to get to the developers. None. Trying to get on the website gives no place to simply ask something, although I can subscribe to a blog. There is no link for the developers themselves, so I’m left in the dark. If this is corrected, I can raise the rating. One more thought. Pressing a ? button opens a set of instructions different from the tutorial. It refers to buttons in the upper right corner which do not exist, for example.

This is a great game with one exception. For the life of me I cannot figure out how to get the rocks to curl more than a couple feet from end to end. The AI seems to be able to put a huge curl on its rocks, but no matter how far over I tilt the phone, I get a very slow rotation and thus a tiny amount of curl. If there is a trick to it I don’t know because the instructions only tell you to tilt the phone - no indication is given other than the implication that a bigger angle gives a larger curl

Thanks for making this game! My teammates and I have been enjoying this while clubs are closed and bonspiels are cancelled. One question regarding mixed doubles—the rules that I know state that no rock can be removed from play until the fourth thrown rock, but the rules in the game here seem only to apply it to the FGZ? Any reason for this? Just curious!
