Frequently Asked Questions
Does Versus Reversi require Wi-Fi?

How long does each game last?
Each player is given a short amount of time each turn to make their move. Watch out for the warning symbol on your scorebar. If you take too long, the game will choose a move at random for you.
What happens if I lose my connection during a game?
If you lose your connection, Versus Reversi will automatically reconnect to the server and put you back in your game. However, if you disconnect too many times or for too long, you will be disqualified.
I looked away for a moment and missed the last move, is there some way to repeat it?
Sure, to repeat the last move, swipe your finger across the board from right to left.
I accidently hit the wrong square, how do I cancel my move?
You can cancel your move in progress by double tapping the board, or giving your phone a gentle shake during the move.
How do I find an opponent?
There are several ways to find an opponent. The first is to select Instant Match from the main menu. The server will automatically attempt to match you up with an opponent based on your rating. The second is to select Find Opponent from the main menu. You will be shown a list of possible oponents ordered by their rating. If you have playerd them before, you will also see your record against them (wins - losses - draws). You can then select one to Challenge and be challenged by others.
Are there computer players?
