I tried the free version. the controls work well. I like tilting for direction. As an old quarter- pumping arcade game player who struggles with 2-joystick, 4-button games, these controls are clear and responsive, and the look is vintage!
Directional flight is difficult to control. Graphics and sound aren't as good as expected if you're a fan of the original game. 5 minutes of game play was enough for me.
Did you know that the old game of Pitfall is available as an app with incredible updated graphics and music and movement that syncs perfectly on touchscreen devices? After that discovery, I went looking for my all-time favorite Joust. This pitiful thing is such a disappointment! Please go get with the maker of Pitfall and learn how to do it.
Not familiar with original game but seems pretty pointless, awful controls as well.
I love the arcade game Joust so tried this out. There's nothing to recommend it. Lazy implementation that doesn't attempt to mimic the original game. Poor controls. Poor collision detection. No concept of scoring or multiple lines.
I was looking specifically for an android version of Joust and found this. Nice work. Keep tweaking the graphics and work a little on the left-right controls and I'll drop the buck for the full version!
This could have been a good game, but the controls aren't clear Add a joystick option
Everyone says good! Great! But it crashes👹
Nothing like the real game
Where's the eggs?
Awkward controlling
Still a long way from playable though. Only managed to figure out controls through trial & error. Opponents are constantly flying at the top of the screen & automatically defeat you unless you manage to catch them mid-flap. Not quite up to par with the arcade, but good start. Keep working on it.
This game is nothimg like the original dont waste your time
I was recently introduced to this game and I really love the classic simplicity of the game. Great app!!!!
Tapping does nothing, tilting, you cannot see the screen. I was so disappointed. This was a great arcade game. I have a nexus tablet, there isn't any joystick for tablets. Instructions would be nice . what kind of multi-tapping. He will not even come off his pedestal.
