Looks like this is a port of an iOS game. (Waits for Joxer)

It has excellent reviews

Apparently it was 6 years in the making.

That comment in the review about being the 'Jet with the most remaining teeth left caused me to almost choke on giggles.

If it's an IPhone title, any chance to see it on android? Looks kind of interesting but not for my PC.

This game was very well reviewed when it was on IOS, with a lot of people raving about it. Personally though I just did not like it. It's kind of an unusual game though, and hard to describe, so I imagine opinions will vary.

Can you describe the game (play) ? Is it like playing a board game but on the computer or what ?

It's very hard to describe. It tries very much to be like a really old school board game like you might have gotten back in the 70s or 80s (I'm guessing), even mimicking things like card sleeves. But that's mostly just aesthetics, I don't think it would actually work as a board game. Mostly you just move around a series of maps, fighting monsters, leveling up, finding loot, sometimes completing objectives. If you "die" your character is lost, but then you can send a new character to find the character and rescue him to get him back. There is a whole roster of characters and when you lose one you have to pick a different one.

I found it to be kind of repetitive and simplistic, but it's possible that I just didn't play it long enough to see some of the depth. But it really just wasn't for me. What I'm describing above sounds like something I'd like, but I just didn't. But certainly a lot of other people did.
