A great game with one major flaw – Castle Pals Review

This is a fantastic game, and it’s well worth the $1.99 to disable ads, but the controls for one of the characters are absolutely dismal. It wasn’t too much of an issue until quite a ways into the game, but the flying function is awful. Rather than holding it down to fly, you have to rapidly press the button to stay afloat, and there are times when you ascend really sluggishly, or it just plain fails and you drop like a stone, often to your death. And since there’s audio feedback in the form of a propeller sound whenever you press it, I know it’s not just a matter of me missing the button. Like I said, this game is great up to a point, but there’s a level in the third act that has such little margin for error that this design flaw completely spoils all of the fun.
