Ask us to name the greatest iOS brawlers, and Rocketcat Games' Punch Quest would undoubtedly make the list. A 2D side-scrolling runner, this intense arcade style beat-em-up pits you against a never-ending stream of bad guys, where rapid punches and super moves are all that stand between victory and the grave. With this in mind, it's easy to get overwhelmed by all those skeletons, ogres and killer bees, which is why we prepared this Punch Quest cheats and tips guide to keep you in the fight.
It's OK To Avoid Enemies
Turns out, you don't have to square off against every baddie you come across. If you're low on health or think you'll be unable to block an attack, tap the uppercut button on the left to jump over a monster, leaving it behind. Better to be alive than dead, we say.
Choose The Screen Orientation Best For You
The developers behind Punch Quest let you play holding the device horizontally or vertically. Both screen orientations work just fine, but you may prefer one to the other.
Block Whenever Possible
First, you'll need to purchase the blocking ability from the Upgrades list, and we strongly suggest doing this ASAP. Once you do, simply press both sides of the screen to protect the hero from danger. With this in mind, don't get so punch drunk that you forget to block, or you'll die in a hurry.
Unlock Power I and Power II Skills
The longer you play Punch Quest, the more coins you'll acquire. Don't sit on this loot. Instead, pess the Loot button from the main menu, then purchase Power I and Power II skills to imbue the protagonist with special perks. The more you buy, the more you'll unlock. Here's a small list of skills you'll come across.
Flyin' Fist: Straight punches or jabs make you fall slower, keeping you in air longer.
Ki Blast: Blocking projects a circle of energy from you, reflecting projectiles.
Hungry Man: All unlocked food upgrades have a higher than normal chance to spawn.
Big Dash: Dashing punches are way faster than normal. Use with caution, or else!
Power Slam: Flying slam punches do more damage, thunk enemies hard into shockwave.
