### 2/5 — Tips for your game.

*2015-07-20, version 2.1*

You've got the graphics down pat, good work.

But the gameplay needs ALOT Of work, maybe put more effort into your game, I am not saying this is a BAD Game, but it's not the game it could have been.

Also, the game keeps crashing, fix that please. Thanks!

### 3/5 — I acutely like it

### 1/5 — Yeah, it's bad

*2014-01-21, version 2.1*

I don't often write reviews but I had to on this one...  The graphics seemed appealing but the controls are pitiful.  You get one kick in then the opponent just keeps running you down.  And that's on easy mode.  Nice try guys but not happening.

### 1/5 — Looks pretty but that's it

*2013-03-02, version 2.1*

It's basically Streetfighter minus the fun. Doesn't take long before your opponent frustrates the Zen outta you by beating you with the same repeated move. I don't want to play anymore!

### 1/5 — Makes me sick

*2014-08-09, version 2.1*

This is against everything that martial arts stands for. You never hit your opponent  when there getting up. And you don't randomly fight. You use martial arts for self defense not to attack
