Q*bert

Been wondering if the real Q*bert would ever hit iOS. Great work releasing the real game w/a real leaderboard, as well as the additional unique levels. Still, disappointed w/the massively overpriced AND renewing VIP fee!! WTH?! Who does renewing fees for a game?! I’d have paid a reasonable one time fee, fine, but not this scheme. Why don’t people understand economics? Why can’t people learn from Wal-mart? You keep prices low & reasonable & more people will buy & so you will actually make more money than by overpricing!!!

Q*Bert is by far one of my favorite arcade games, and being able to play it on-the-go is such a fantastic time waster. While this game makes it just a little easier on everyone (why can’t I jump off the levels?) as well as gives a fresh imagining on new levels and boss fights, it seems like later updates really started forcing advertisements down my throat. After every single level completed, I have to skip an ad, and it just gets annoying to play now. $7 a week for a subscription to remove ads and get VIP benefits is way too expensive. I’m glad there’s a $3 option to just remove ads, it’s just unfortunate that I wouldn’t get the same benefits as a “VIP”. If you love Q*Bert, give it a shot, just get ready to close a lot of ads or pay the $3 ad removal fee.

I was a little too young for the original, and only learned more about it when I was comp'd during the infamous SEN lockout of 2011. Of course, the controls were dicey, so I ended up in @!#?@! way too often. The mobile version is vastly improved. Randomized puzzles, spike traps, power-ups and more make it a fun-to-play brain-bender for all. But can somebody do something about the @!#?@! ads for the gazillion @!#?@! games without charging a princely sum?! No wonder Q*bert's miffed! Oh, and by the way, best fix that blankety-blank home screen so we Super Retina folks can close the app! @!&$#%?!!

I’ve never played the original Q*bert, because I wasn’t alive, so I’m not the most credible resource, and I only know him from Wreck It Ralph and this game. But so far this is an amazing game, and though I wasn’t around in the 80’s, because that is my favorite time petrodollars and in my opinion the golden age of television and video games, so I was attracted by the retro art style. My only wish you got more coins at the end of each level, but there are so many levels that won’t be a problem.

The updated pixel art and music looks great. I love that you can play new levels but also have the arcade mode when you’re finished. Touch controls work great for Q*bert and unlocking costumes through in-game currency is a nice incentive to keep playing. There is a problem where the music cuts out at random times when you close the app out or watch an ad. The presentation and gameplay is awesome but the idea that you want people to subscribe to Q*BERT for SEVEN DOLLARS a WEEK is HILARIOUS. Nobody wants to subscribe to Mario Kart Tour and they especially don’t want to subscribe to this. Other than that keep it up!
