Comments on Gambonanza for Android

★★★★★ Dylan Spiers · Sep 26, 2026
I very much enjoy the Balaton style chess game that this is.
★★★★☆ Cobalt47 channel · Sep 15, 2026
It's a fun game but moving pieces sometimes doesn't work right. Twice I have lost a game now as I went to move to a space, and it's registered as the space next to it. This ended the run when it wasn't my actual move. The other issue is there should be a screen at the end showing what went wrong in the run. I had one run near the end of the game, and I have no idea why I lost. It happened so fast, and it was game over screen so not a really any opportunity to learn from your mistake.
★★☆☆☆ nattakrit aupparakul · Sep 15, 2026
It's not bad but "chess Balaton" is overpraising, IDK about good chess player but for a noob chess me it was frustrating unlike Balaton a noob poker me had a blast, the enemies can trade as much as they want, but we can't, the price for buying the pieces back keeps going up and money is not easy to earn, new pieces r expensive, imagine a rogue lite but after a boss u don't get to heal right from the beginning, unless u get a very good roll right from the start it's going to be hell.
★★☆☆☆ Sean Elmes · Sep 25, 2026
Game is fun but consistently broke my phone is really bad ways where I would have to completely restart the phone after watching it take a seizure for 10 minutes, has happened multiple times and there were a couple of moments where I thought I had lost my phone completely. I run Call of Duty, Minecraft, slay the spire and many other big games on my phone without it committing suicide on me. I believe there is some dangerous tech amongst this app as I have to get a new phone now (super glitchy now)
★☆☆☆☆ Wei Z · Oct 6, 2026
Too much luck based as the difficulties goes on. So many worthless gambits that it feels like we're just constantly bashing my head against the wall until I get something good.
★★☆☆☆ grant moore · Sep 15, 2026
Great game but animations and menus need to skip and go faster over half the game is in redundantly slow menus and load ins.
