UPDATE (PLEASE READ): This app will most likely now remain free :) If you want to create your own characters and/or share them via wifi, please consider upgrading to the full version which you can now do directly from the app. iFightU is a fun and silly way to see your friends fight using the 'duke it out' mode and take a screenshot to send it to your friends. You can also also play a very simple classic fighting game and a network game, but the main idea really is that you can create your own characters and see them duke it out. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it, but if you don't, hey, at least it was free!
