No problem with blocking. In my mind, the distance between poor and terrible is not that big -- perhaps the more accurate expression is "room for improvement." Coincidentally, that pretty much describes my feelings about the game as whole, though I really enjoy what's there already. I agree about jumping; I just do it so rarely that it hasn't been an issue.

Block for instance is odd. The lack of jumping diagonally via diagonal command is odd. You can jump up, and then swipe to the side to jump forward or back but why not just via diagonal up? You can roll by doing diagonal down... I didnt say they were terrible, just poor controls. Block for instance is odd.

Can't diagree with anything else, though value, of course, is a very personal thing: I don't mind paying $4 for a game as stylish and funny as Tap Fu.

I love the idea but this fails to fulfill expectations. -Nice art (Too little of it though) -poor controls -boring in general -Not enough levels. (You play the first level over and over) -Overpriced. I think there is some potential here though for greatness, provided the developer continues to work on the app. -Cool concept. I love the idea but this fails to fulfill expectations.
