Piccolo: Othello

How wonderful to have a well-designed and well-programmed Othello app that is super customizable, good on battery and contains no ads or tracking. I applaud the developer for doing everything right. And I appreciate that it saves your game if you have to close the app, so you can play in short spurts. I also appreciate that is free but that you can buy themes for a fair price to support the game. I will be buying at least one of the theme packs to give support. I highly recommend this well-done game.

i recently got into othello this year, but it’s probably one of my favorite little games to just play. i discovered it in a hatsune miku minigame on my 3ds that i played all the time and took everywhere with me! and when i found out it was actually othello and there were apps for it i got so happy. i’ve tried other othello apps and this one seems to be my favorite. i do have a request though, could you please add a new mode for single player/where you control both black and white? i saw it in another othello app, it’s for playing by yourself or with someone else in person. i have an ipad and id love to play othello in person with my friends, but the only game modes on my favorite piccolo are AI and online.

The developer of this Othello app has a Doctorate from the best PhD program in mathematics in Europe (ENS Ulm) and it clearly shows. The AI is just superb. It is a pleasure to play at level 1 for beginners (yes, you can win at this level) and you still have 9 more levels to explore. The latest and highest level will be challenging even for Othello champions. It's totally free (but you can contribute by buying goodies if you feel like acknowledging the amazing programming and AI behind this cute game). In short, truly challenging, free, no ads, with 10 levels of difficulty, and you can play with your friends too.
