    Excellent game, works fine on hybrid or offi OS. However, one concern. Why is game loaded into device and not to app storage? I occassionally delete my content store using DM, and of course this gets deleted in process, causing java exception error until re installation.

    Suggestions:

    •Allow the app the be exited without incurring a loss. It should save the in-game state and resume it when re-launched
    •multiple simultaneous games
    •allow choice to turn off prompt to update status!
    •pinch-zoom would be nice
    •display name of person you are playing instead of just their record
    •Push notifications to let you know when it's your turn!

    Keep up the good work!

    Is the time limit optional? I know that people tend to play as they get the chance; they are not necessarily parked in a chair doing nothing but playing Caro. If the time limit is not optional, I know I won't be able to play very often. It's much easier to carry on a game over time during a busy day, especially without push notifications when it's your turn. It would be exceedingly easy to miss your turn and lose. Not a welcome addition if it's not optional to turn it off.

    Hi, thanks for your suggestions.

    If you play offline, then there is not 90 seconds time limitation.

    If you play online, the other can't wait for you for too long, they need to finish the game, if they quit during playing, they will lose the game. Lot of people know they will lose for sure then they just stop and get the other waiting till they left the game and get 1 lose score, the real loser gets 1 win score. This time-limit just to make sure the score is almost fair for everyone.

    Some don't care the score, but some really care and they really don't want to lose the score and their ranks.

    And the notification for the turn will be in the next version. We are gonna have sounds and some more cool things later on.

    Regards.

    Just saying, my wife and I play the game online when we are in different places, but we may be doing other things, and come back to the game after several minutes. A 90-second time limit makes you commit to playing the game and takes the casual social aspect of it away. Please make this optional.

    Maybe a longer time limit, like 2 hours, or 24 hours, just to keep people honest. How about if there were a few different options for time limit? 90 seconds for dedicated heads-up play, 1 hour for more casual gaming, and no limit for really casual?

    Yeah thanks again, I just thought about this too. Like we can have 2 options, the default should be 90 seconds and no-time-limit. Then the inviter can decide and it will say in the invitation message, so if the other accepts that option, the game will start following that rule, if not, the invitee can deny.

    I guess that could be nice rite?
