Thanks! - RR NOEN Well-Known Member Jul 31, 2012 3,245 0 0 U.S. #3 NOEN, Jul 9, 2015 So far I've only payed a little bit of it, but it's actually pretty cool. Controls work well, nice pixel art. It would be nice to see upgrades in the game. Like longer/more powerful joust thingies. (That's what they're called right?) I'm not sure if the different characters act/react differently or not, but that would be cool. Either way, the game is pretty fun as it is. Oh, also, is there an IAP to get rid of ads? binlabu Well-Known Member Dec 3, 2014 433 0 0 HO CHI MINH CITY , VIET NAM https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjmmjgzHZu-YUVtd0i2oKRA #4 binlabu, Jul 9, 2015 Video Gameplay Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel RondoRocket Well-Known Member Patreon Silver Jul 8, 2011 86 0 0 Artist and programmer. San Diego, Ca. #5 RondoRocket, Jul 9, 2015 Thanks, NOEN! Great feedback! Very happy to hear you like the controls and art. Currently the different characters is just a visual change but I like the idea of giving them slightly different control characteristics - faster, heavier, etc.! And no there is currently no IAP to remove ads but if there are enough requests I'd be happy to add it in. @binlablu cool gameplay video!

Thank you so much, glad you like the game! And thanks for the vote to have an option to remove ads. Looking forward to hearing what you think, chief78! Nice to know the name caught your attention. Oh, and CygnetSeven's review a few posts up mentioned he didn't find a bomb yet. You have to defeat 2 red enemies without sustaining any damage. So once you collect a magnet you can't get hit by an enemy until you defeat another red enemy and he'll drop a bomb. Hope that helps. CygnetSeven Well-Known Member Feb 6, 2010 7,585 30 48 #11 CygnetSeven, Jul 10, 2015 For the record, I too would support an IAP to remove ads. Now off to see how far my #2 in the world has dropped. Exact-Psience Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2012 22,664 2 38 The Work-At-Home Guy Philippines #12 Exact-Psience, Jul 10, 2015 This is a pretty fun arcade title. You basically score by reaching the next floor, and the combat and evading makes for a fun set of mechanics. The controls work well, but it can be improved. Right now the buttons are sensitive only on the button graphics, so the sctive area could use a bit of extension outside the graphics since you cant "feel" around to hit the right buttons on a touchscreen. I have reached out to the dev regarding this suggestion and they are looking into integrating it which should make it even more playable. RondoRocket Well-Known Member Patreon Silver Jul 8, 2011 86 0 0 Artist and programmer. San Diego, Ca. #13 RondoRocket, Jul 10, 2015 Thanks for the vote, CygnetSeven! I checked and you have fallen from the #2 spot... but I think you can make a comeback. I believe in you! It was great feedback, Exact-Psience! Currently working on an update with larger hit boxes for the left/right controls and a much larger overall touch area for the boost. Good stuff! Also updated my first post back on Page 1 with a link to TA's preview of Jetpack Joust by Carter. (Should have done that in the first place ) Introvert Studios Member Apr 20, 2015 16 0 0 Game Development Somerset, UK #14 Introvert Studios, Jul 13, 2015 It's a fun game and certainly addictive (though I haven't got past 12 floors so far!) but I would agree with Exact-PSience about the controls - playing it on my Ipad and it's difficult to stay on the buttons as they're quite small. But looking forward to updates as I know you are already addressing this. The game looks great and other than that slight issue it plays really nice, good work RondoRocket Well-Known Member Patreon Silver Jul 8, 2011 86 0 0 Artist and programmer.
