Hi everyone, Dev here! First of all, thanks for all the feedback! I'll try to answer all of your questions. (And please bare with us for being a bit slow on the replies, we're in a different time zone. ) The full game was indeed $1.99 before, and we've lowered it to $0.99 over the Christmas holidays. It will go back to the full price on January 7th. There is only one IAP (the full game), but it can be reached through different screens, that's why it might be confusing. But buying it once will indeed unlock the full game. Without the full game, the only way to try a real fight (not just the tutorial) is to play a friend over local wifi. For now, the only multiplayer option is over local wifi, but we totally agree with you - we would love to make the multiplayer global (and might do so in the future). @Treerootz - Sorry to hear it crashed! We are aware the loading time is quite long on some devices. If you want to tell us more about what device and OS you have, we would really like to make the game stable on all devices! Once again, thanks for all your feedback!!
Ugh local wifi. The worst of the multiplayer options. I mean if your going to only make it possible to play someone right next to me why not bluetooth. And global is even in the name yet I can't test my skills against anyone. Why is a good vs fighting game so much to ask for. I'd pay anything for one on my mobile. At least soul cal has bluetooth
On a good note. What moves you have are sick. Backrounds and atmosphere are sweet(. Sound effects nice graphics animation and frame rate are on point. Just needs a few more stages a few more techniques and a few more characters and for the love of all that is holy and unholy solid multiplayer options. Not just local bull. With that added this def is the best fighter out there.
Hi deadcandance, As we said, we agree with you - we would have loved to do the multiplayer not just local. However, for various reasons it didn't happen in this release. Thanks for all the nice words though!
Thanks for the replies.I'm really enjoying the game and appreciate the single IAP to unlock the entire game. Buying now...
Thanks for taking feedback! I was going to use the in-game email function but since you are here... One feature request I'd like to add, would be more character customization. This would be especially useful with any multiplayer improvements. For example, I'd like to be able to change my dobok's (or gi's) pant color to red or black. Also, in my school, uniforms also distinguish rank. With a black belt you get an embroidered uniform with your name on the back. Something like that would be neat. Also, while I am dreaming, some sort of belt system for your progress in the game would be incredible. (I know that these ranking systems vary a lot across schools and disciplines, but maybe you could use the most standardized one, used by the federations). Maybe these two things are related: you progress to a higher belt and then you get more customization options! I am sure you have a ton of TKD fans giving you feedback, so thanks for listening. The game is awesome!!!!
Thanks! More character customization is really one of the things we have been talking about. I like the idea of getting more options as you progress! We're definitely going to continue working on this game, so all your feedback is great, keep it coming!
Great game! Having studied TKD when I was younger, I can really appreciate the authenticity of the moves, models, and sounds. Just want to see more! What might be a cool challenge addition would be for the player to perform forms - such an integral part of TKD (including tournaments). Having the player memorize and then carry out a sequence of moves with the right timing would be cool. But in general, need me moves - there are only seven, not including blocking. And only one punch out of those (and not even really a normal punch) - TKD is the way of the hand and foot - need more punching! And more kicks! ☺ Really though, great game so far!
Wrote a super long post about how awesome this game is, but unfortunately something went wrong and...crap. :/ Yeah, ummmm...in a nutshell: THIS.IS.AWESOME. Easily worth way more than a buck. Much like everyone else, it just needs a little more single player content, character customization and of course online multiplayer, and it'll NEVER EVER leave my device. Great job. Oh, and of course...major thanks to Jared for giving this some front-page love. What do I mean? CONGRATS ON BEING TOUCHARCADE'S GAME OF THE WEEK!
It's a good game, but crashes and lags a lot for me. I'm on an iPod 5g. The gameplay is great when it doesn't lag, the scenery is beautiful, it does need more characters, or perhaps a custom character option(make your own character).
OMG!!! GAME OF THE WEEK!!! Thanks Jared!! And thanks for letting us know about all the lags and crashes! We'll try to have them fixed for the next update!
Man I just can't get over how much potential this game has. It's so polished ... A little bare and way way too easy.. But Awsome. Please devs when u implement online matches please make it possible to challenge friends through gamecenter or facebook. And don't let this game collect dust. Please Thanks for the love
This game has actually inspired me to return to TKD in real life. Thank you! I got to green belt when I was nine but didn't have the perseverance to stick at it. Also, your game is really neat! Can't wait to see what further improvements you can make on a very solid base!
Wow, that's really good to hear! One of the aims with the game was to get people into taekwondo for real. That's why we tried to keep it as authentic as possible.
