KungFu Quest - The Jade Tower App Reviews

Either the spawn amount needs to be reduced, or we need some kind of aggressive counter attack, I hate being knocked down over and over by enemies on both sides; other than that, its a pretty fun game

This game delivers as advertised: fun old school button mashing Kung Fu action. The combo editor is a big plus, too! Nice job!

This game is epic! So much upgrading! Could use a new character.

Doesnt ask for too much money and is just a good ol fashioned fun game mates. If youve been looking for a game with a customization aspect to it, heres your muse

(Update) An update was released with the intent of adjusting the difficulty (what I assumed was the spawn mechanic)... So I decided to give it whirl. First, clicking the New Game button did nothing. Quiting and relaunching didnt fix it, but the new game button worked... I thought, "Fine, I wasnt attached to my progress". After being forced to redo the training sequel, I made it to the tower (map) and... The game is rendered unplayable. I quit the app, relaunched it to find the continue button again, not functioning. Sorry guys, Im not one to hand out one stars often but.... Original review: (2 star) I bought the game after playing the first few levels, hoping the gameplay would expand. Making your own combos is promising but actually is more an exercise in futility. The game quickly devolves a double tap fury, double tapping the move buttons to enact a dodge roll, as it quickly becomes the only reasonable way to travel. Enemies spawn infinitely, so fighting hardly matters, the monotony only to be held up by a level scroll lock. Literally, the game prevents the player from traveling further right. To allow the player to travel further right, he must then defeat an enemy or two (regardless of how many are on screen) then proceed to travel right until he is held up on the edge of the screen again, repeating this agonizing process. This is done mostly by rolling, as the player cannot outrun his opponents. Rolling dodges attacks and goes around pesky enemies in the way. Rolling requires double tapping the direction arrows, making the player furiously tap the screen, which works 90% of the time but due to the limitations of the iPhone, the other 10% of the time means tapping more furiously, hoping to trigger the roll. The challenge becomes rolling (dodging) around waiting for a chance to strike increasingly well armed opponents which can strike from greater ranges and inflict more damage. Soon even basic attacks are gambles so combos become less useful. It devolves to a cat and mouse game of jump kick enemy groups until you can continue rolling right. To make a mockery of the combo system, the player feasible can string together roughly 5 hits on any single enemy, (at least using the moves unlocked from stages 1 and 2). Occasionally, combos can extend when other hapless enemies charge head first into your flurry of fist and feat, but it doesnt benefit the player in any meaningful way. The only time game play is broken up is by boss battles or completing challenges. Its not fun. Without much standard beat em up mechanics like different moves, ability to string punches and kicks at will together to trigger combos, grabs, use weapons (think double dragon), the ability to block, perform special moves etc, the game feels even more dated than the NES game, Kung Fu. Sadly its not even worth the very meager $.99, even though the "pay once" model is appreciated.

Hitting the continue button does nothing, I can only start a new game. Glad I only spent a dollar on this. Deleting

Dont know what the deal is, but after finishing the tutorial, I cant start the game on my iPhone 5(iOS 6). The tower is there, and the first floor seems to be highlighted (something moving over it), but no matter where I tap, nothing happens. Tried force restarting the app and starting a new game, but neither worked. The tutorial part seemed ok (though cheesy cliche story and graphics), so if I could play, I might give it 3 or 4 stars based on the little I saw.

This is a great game but there are some downsides. The difficulty increases very quickly. You can get upgrades but must complete levels to get them. Other than the sudden increase of difficulty the game is fun

The app keeps exiting out each time I open it i think its a glitch

This is a fun game to play But lack a few things that would make it a great game Like, it would be great if you could duck and punch and sweep your enemies, also some weapons would be nice...but overall its a good game it reminds me of NES Kung-Fu please add to the game

Every time i try to open the app it just closes out other than that it looks freaking awesome!

I applied the recent update and now I can play again! Thanks so much for fixing this, it runs smoother and better than ever. Great game, so much fun!

The 4th boss is impossible!!!!!!!

This game is so much fun
