Try not to punch something after this Punch Quest trailer
Rocketcat Games has been around for a long while. They were one of the first forces in the iOS market, back before the majority of the population had an iPhone, and every major publisher was trying to milk the system dry. Their first effort in 2009, Hook Champ, is one of my favorite portable games to date on any system, and their three follow-ups aren't too shabby either. Now the time has come for an official trailer for their newest iOS endeavor called Punch Quest, which also looks incredibly fun, and deliciously retro. The project is in collaboration with another developer named Madgarden, and just based on the trailer, it seems that you can customize your character with special abilities, punch eggs, ride dinosaurs, and become gnomes. Gnome metamorphosis you say? SOLD! To sweeten the deal Rocketcat has clarified on their Twitter that the game will be a universal app, and feature both male and female characters. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)I don't think I could play any touchscreen game with that level of precision shown in that video, with a pad maybe, but not touchscreen. I don't know, how fun would it be to just punch everythin... did he just jump on a dinosaur that spits freakin laser beams? Sold. I really love Rocketcat and so I'm pretty hyped for this. Also, in the article you say that Hook Champ had three follow-ups but only Super Quick Hook and Hook Worlds are related. Mage Gauntlet is different game all together. 7:00 PM on 06.10.2013 Assassin's Creed IV's companion app is pretty radDid you play the Outer Ops missions in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker?
