Reviews
Great game.

I love it I can almost feel the salty sea air or the crisp mountain chill. The controlls are very responsive and the kite moves like a real kite. Real fun stuff, wonderful.
DELIGHTFUL

Who would have thought flying a kite could actually be fun? Pop mode is where it's at.
Stunt Kite

The controls take a little getting used to. I've tried a real stunt kite and couldn't get it off the ground, so this is definitely easier than that. There are 3 levels of difficulty. The easiest I found kind of boring. The middle one was the sweet spot for me. The free play mode where you can just fly I found kind of dull. I guess I need more of an objective, so I was glad to see the balloon popping game. That one is entertaining, though I get turned around and l confused when the kite is moving downscreen (right becomes left, left becomes right). I haven't tried Race mode yet. The graphics are a mixed bag. The kite is quite realistic in its appearance. The background imagery, however, is lacking. Since there is no movement in the background (beach with waves frozen in place, for example), it looks and feels like you are playing in front of a painted wall. Overall, 4 stars. The controls take a little bit of getting used to, but feel right. You get a sense of kite flying, so props to the dev on that. The kites look good, but the backgrounds are lacking.
Authentic controls with a good variety of play modes!

I'm loving the realistic kite controls which require you to factor in gusts of wind and momentum in what in any other game would be such a seemingly simple dash from point A to B. The game is made even more replayable by the variety of game modes and difficulty levels.
Cool App

This is a nice app, with a catchy soundtrack. There are a few game modes, and a few game kites to choose from. There are also 3 landscapes and it's a nice game.
Pretty cool. Needs more simulation

Neat game. Would be an awesome stunt kite simulator if you had to watch for strings getting tangled. Thus forcing you to do the same number of loops in the opposite direction to un tangle them. Also if you could do other stunts like real kites. I know this is an "arcade" but it would be awesome if it had a "simulation" mode. Please consider this as you are mire then halfway there with this
Well done App!

Fun Game. Well worth the buck. Multi modes/goals/kites keep it fresh. Nice physics and graphics. I don't regret the purchase.
Let's go fly a Kite

Stunt Kite is filled with game modes, options and gameplay to keep you entertained for a long time. The multi-touch controls work similar to those in real life, making it very rewarding. It is in other details that make it feel arcady rather than a simulator: the static backgrounds present in all the areas, limiting those areas instead of having huge 360 worlds, and the untangleless cord these kites have. The stunt kite feeling is present in the game, it only needs a little more polishing to make it great.
Beautiful graphics and fun!

I really like this game - although I didnt expect to at first! They controls are easy to learn and use, and the graphics are gorgeous - giving the feel of controlling and watching a real kite fly. There are several different games included with this, each of them fun and challenging making this actually several games in one! It's a keeper on my ipod!
Fun and Entertaining

While I'm certainly not a big fan of kite flying, this game is very creative and I enjoy it. I like the various game modes, they add a great variety in terms of gameplay. I especially like the free fly mode, which allows you to fly your kite how and where you want it without timers or points to worry about. This mode is somewhat relaxing, and makes for a casual side to the game. My only suggestion (though it's not a necessity) is to have more game modes or content. Seishu
