I agree that I’d rather be on the water, but when it’s not windy (or not daylight) this makes for a lot of fun! The controls are well thought out you can either use your accelerometer by tilting the phone or touch controls. The simulation of kite flying and board riding is actually surprisingly accurate. I could definitely see this being super helpful for beginner as the tutorial walk you through everything from the win window to jumping. Even as an intermediate kite boarder myself, doing a couple of kite loops in game Is making me a little more confident to try one in real life. Great job guys very impressed!
Intuitive controls, great graphics, fun challenges. New to kiting, and this is keeping me motivated on the lousy weather days. Worth the price, for sure. Future update wish list: multiplayer (downwind course races and/or point competition in timed events), obstacles to jump over, and of course more challenges to work on and improve!
As a Kiteboarder myself I purchased this app without even checking images or anything just to support the people behind it who must be passionate about the sport. It's definitely not easy to develop and implement the whole experience but somehow you guys made it and exceeded my expectations! Just wow. And it can work somehow as a different way of training your skills and all round feeling! Top!
Takes a little while to learn, but once you do it becomes addictive as kiting! Very nice job, I believe this is the first true good Kitesurf game. Can't wait for upgrades or a next version with multiplayer, waves, kite-wave options, obstacles (ramps, rails?), leaderboards...
The game isn't perfect but a lot of fun and looking forward to future updates. Wish list: more tricks, combine tricks, and TRANSITION JUMPS (with tricks). Maybe some unhooked tricks someday!?
Had big hope for this game. Poor graphic, poor fun, very boring to play. Don't waste your time on this, get out and Kitesurf even if you're never tried as it's easier!
