UPDATE YOUR APP!

Hey developers: Apple won’t allow your app to open on newer devices. Yes, it’s an idiotic policy, but PLEASE UPDATE!!
A blast from the past!

I love retro games and this game is spot on, from the graphics, the sounds, and the controls. It's the next best thing to the real thing and it takes up much less space :) I was never very good when I played it way back ago. With the head-to-head mode I now have a game I beat my children in.
Retro fun!

Perfect implementation of a retro game. Pretty similar to their iPhone version. But the big screen makes it an ideal demo to kids / younger friends. Have a quick face to face in split screen mode. Recommended!
Pretty sweet

Oh the time I used to spend playing this. Two player mode is just great. Just awesome retro goodness.
Love this classic!

Nice import to the iPad 4.2, a must have and fun every time. The outcome is always different. Got to use different combinations and techniques and careful timing to defeat your opponent. Try to get a full punch hit. If you keep getting your butt beaten, the judge will stop the match. This game is awesome and I am glad to have a classic game such as this. I am so happy with karate champ, it's the best. You can try many different techniques to win over your contender. Try it for those who know karate champ.
Almost perfection

The game is pretty close to the real thing; it's wonderful. Even though it's retro it's closer to real fighting than say street fighter. If I had one gripe compared to the original it's that the middle lunge punch and upper lunge punch don't work when enemy is close by. That is not how the original was. Please play original to see what I mean. Please correct bug. The 2 player split screen is done brilliantly. Please look into 2 more things to even improve this even more. Look into iCADE support for single player (use buttons instead of blue stick) and wifi play (not local). Thank you.
Great game from the 80s

Completed it already by remembering my technique from the 80's spending hours playing it in Spain on holiday. Classic!
Retro look but probably the best fighting game in the Store!

Wonderful and very realistic fighting mechanism. Hope the developer keeps updating it. Would love to see an optional, less pixelated look as an alternative. Anyway, if you like fighting games this is a must. Split-screen multiplayer is a blast!
Good. Would like some things fixed...

I love this game. The high scoring only seems to keep a score of 34,400. Any more than that and it gets erased it seems. Controls need just a tad more sensitivity. I love the practice mode!!! Can you guys do more classic arcade games? I miss the 80's/90's arcades!!! How about Choplifter, Burgertime and Elevator Action?
