Above is an image of an easy section of a run
From Rocketcat Games, developer of the critically praised Super QuickHook (which I have yet to play) comes an epic endless runner. You assume the roll of a muscular warrior with a tremendous penchant for punching whom you can select the gender. To satisfy the warrior's craving, you must pummel bloodthirsty monsters. However, a gnome named Gnomey needs you to complete arbitrary tasks (he literally calls them arbitrary) in order for him to achieve true gnomehood. This is only one of the game's humorous touches. By defeating monsters and completing quests, you receive Punchos, the game's currency. Punchos can be used to obtain getup for your character and purchase powers. You have two standard powers and one Super Move. Super Moves vary from causing defeated foes to explode from generating a massive stone fists that circle you. If you gain enough power while using a Super Move, it becomes an almighty Ultra Move. To activate your moves, you must fill up a meter on the bottom of the screen by defeating enemies. During your run, you may encounter an egg. Punch it, and you will assume the roll of a creature, such as a gnome, a laser-raptor, or a rabid goaticorn to rack up some more points. However, the challenges can be mind-meltingly, well, challenging, like getting an 100-hit combo. Also, not surprisingly, the action can become tedious. The retro-style visuals, while certainly not original, are charming and detailed enough to take my mind off the b boredom. Despite its minor downfalls, Punch Quest is an exceptional app that should satisfy anyone seeking solid endless running action.
Ups
Amusing backstory
Quirky humor
Retro graphics
Epic powers
Downs
Challenging "arbitrary quests"
Can get tedious
