New mobile game 'Kiteboard Hero' offers realistic kite action

Enjoying it so far but I WISH I could swap the kite control to the right side (thumb). That's my only complaint as a right hander

Yeah, controls are a bit funky for me as well...

Anyone else wonder if it's too realistic in terms of training? Already have a problem with people having no experience trying it out for the first time in a spot and having a problem happen and not knowing how to deal with it. That's how people get hurt and we lose access. I'm all for new riders in the sport! But wondering if there's a way to promote proper lessons here?

I think it will help to gain experience on how the kite flies...very realistic.

Then they need to try the real thing and get the feeling for it...but already have more understanding of its performance.

It's a video game man, why would anyone take it seriously? I play Grand theft Auto all the time, but you don't see me going out there and stealing cars and robbing people for money.

One thing not realistic is crashes. Whatever I do with kite, rider always land on board. Tried to drop kite in water during jump but still lands fine haha.

No, I was already doing that before the game came out

I'd add to this the possibility to turn the bar with left-right, not up-down. How it's now it's confusing as I believe up-down is not how the brain is wired for moving the kite on real life. It's also a problem as tilting the board/phone is also up down, making for using both at the same time quite weird. Otherwise cool game, congrats!!
