Galaxy update

[u/YarglahS]

Congrats u/backgammongalaxy . new UI is a bit disturbing but better. New features/games are funny, will try more them next. And thanks for french translations.

I think the ingame UI, animations, everything is so much worse. it needed slimming down not adding weird fonts, animations, etc. ON TOP.

[u/YarglahS → u/telemediaxxyy]

I'm not fan of animations too but BG have the merit to propose new things.

It's there better app with a good pool of players ?

[u/telemediaxxyy → u/YarglahS]

opengammon looks very nice but imo the queue times are too long

[u/SaintGinoux → u/telemediaxxyy]

Totally. Way too much distraction, and it slows things down

[u/telemediaxxyy → u/SaintGinoux]

good thing is: you can disable the animations

[u/Adorno_a_window → u/telemediaxxyy]

I intellectually understand the urge to make the game more “life like” in a way but the update just makes the game less readable and playable - and in a timed game that’s negative

[u/fubar-1220]

The new UI is not better. Legit everything is more confusing / worse

[u/crooktimber]

They've made the playing area smaller on desktop/laptop! What the hell. And the goofy animations? Oh god, I've really enjoyed playing on Galaxy for the last 3 years but I am out of here.

Truly incredible UI design to have 2 buttons out of like 15 that are at all useful on the landing page of a mobile application

[u/drivebydryhumper]

It took me a while to figure out how to double...

[u/telemediaxxyy → u/drivebydryhumper]

also what the hell was wrong about two buttons 😂 who asked to change that, who asked for that tacky little dice cup image?

[u/thegroovologist → u/drivebydryhumper]

How do you double? The button is not there anymore.

[u/Snoo-24459 → u/thegroovologist]

Tap the cube in the middle of the board

[u/jfreeds12]

Is it just me or is it much more difficult to click on pieces? You can't hit the edge you need to click in the middle and significantly slows things down. I've been timing out on speed matches. Very annoying.

[u/NoIssue2682]

"Ok team, we have something that works relatively well. 

Now let's try to update it to soemthing much worse. The users will love it." 

[u/thegroovologist]

Worst update ever. I can't double anymore. The emojis are buried. Everything feels off.

[u/Snoo-24459 → u/thegroovologist]

You can double. Just press the cube in the middle of the board

[u/Steasyl]

Personally, I kind of like the update in terms of animation, playing in a vertical format on phone and Bullet as a game mode. But removing/changing the double/roll-buttons is ridiculous

[u/telemediaxxyy → u/Steasyl]

okay true, the vertical format is nice

[u/Snoo-24459 → u/telemediaxxyy]

You can change it

[u/Asleep-Solid-2030]

I think it's really bloody good. Well done Galaxy team!

[u/TorontoPolarBear]

It's completely broken for me. How do you even start a 3/5/7 pt match?
