Fun. Just like I remember.

This game is definitely geared towards those of us who remember the original and how much fun that was. Basic. Beautifully animated. Only so much replay value but thats part of its charm. Worth the purchase for sure.

Too many issues

I love the game, but this is garbage. Fix the bugs, and I might consider doing another review. Dont waste the money!!

Rhythm game?

Beautiful translation aesthetically and musically really takes me back to the Apple II game. But gameplay wise- seriously... a rhythm game?? It is still thrilling to play against the highly stylized and well defined characters. It is a blast seeing the old Apple ][ characters come to life in fluid 3D. I expected three zones for high med and low kicks and punches, etc. The target gameplay audience seems to be gaming novices.. but its a great tribute to the spirit of the original. Still fun once you get used to the mechanics. Can you please update for the iPhone 6 Plus? It runs with side letterboxes. Cheers!

5* @ iphone5

Very addictive. Thanks J. Mechner, 20 years later you did the same thing.

Good but...

Nice game, thoughtfully planned, butttt, gets stuck after defeating the boss with the monk. Does not move forward but keeps bowing and you cannot proceed... You get to kill the app to start again but gets stuck exactly at the same place... Fix this 4 5 stars :)

too easy

finished with monk on the first try. but it was pleasent 10 minute experience and will definetly play this more to master it.

Good but with bugs!

After second boss playing as Monk cant move further. Please fix! Add iPhone 5 support!!! Otherwise game is good!

Non mi è Mai partito...

Ma forse è un bene...

Ma dai è simpatico!

Ok Jordan Mechner ha fatto meglio con Prince of Persia ma non è fatto male…

Fun on iPad wont update on iPhone5

The game is fun, but it will not update on my iPhone 5. So I always have an update badge that wont go away. I am considering deleting the app just to make the badge go away. The game works well on iPad 2.

Punch the hawk!

I used to love playing this as a kid on a friends Apple IIe, now I finally get a chance to beat the game and save the princess. Great stuff!!

Very nice! But it has some bugs

Remember the good ole Apple 2e days. Fun, a bit hard to finish with the first guy. Game froze with the monk near the Boss. Should give us an option to save so I can try to finish with the first character or start at a point before the game froze

Karateka

Took a classic game and made the grafix better! However, there are still too many bugs to make it a great game.

iPhone 5 Support, improved graphics

Needs to be updated to support the iPhone 5 4-inch retina display. Also the graphic appear to be low-quality and not detailed at all.

Boring

Your screen is your button. Thats it.

Needs to be updated with full Voice Over support!

I was really excited when I saw this app on the app store and decided to download it, but when I did, I discovered that it didnt work. The music played but thats all that happened. I am completely blind and use the voiceover screen reader on my iPhone but for some reason it didnt work with this app even know it was supposed to be voiceover accessible. Please update and make it fully voiceover accessible if possible because I would love To play this game, which sounds really wonderful and fun and fascinating. Thank you and happy Easter exclai!

Great game!! Great port of a classic!!

lacking in content...

Played through it. And it was done. Couldnt really figure out the "rhythm" part of it...

Update ruined this game

Not responsive as it used to be. I keep getting hit when I block. Please fix responsiveness

Great idea, horrible on iPhone 4

Way too choppy. I am assuming this was really intended for the 4S or the 5. Love the concept. I am looking forward to playing it again when my 2 year contract expires.
