User Reviews

Joust on iOS is a nostalgic, pixel-perfect port that faithfully recreates the classic arcade experience and is enjoyable for fans when it runs. However, it suffers from stability issues (crashes and launch failures), limited input options (no robust controller support or virtual joystick), device/UI compatibility problems, and refund frustrations. Online features also seem unstable. If these issues are addressed, it could be an excellent mobile homage to the original.

Pros

Faithful recreation of the original Joust with nostalgic graphics and feel
Pixel-perfect port that preserves the classic arcade look
Fun, true-to-original gameplay that appeals to fans
Great mobile remake that captures the retro vibe

Cons

Frequent crashes and startup failures; the app often won’t open or crashes during loading
Lack of controller support and limited input options (no virtual joystick, clunky controls)
Device compatibility and UI issues (small screen on certain devices, external controls not supported)
Refund/purchase frustrations (reports of nonrefundable purchases and difficulty getting refunds)
Online features like leaderboards/forums appear offline or unstable

Do not purchase. This app does not run on IPhone. And is not eligible for refund. Complete rip off and they took my five dollars. Nothing but a scam!!!!
