Product description

More than 85 MILLION deliveries made! Action platform puzzler, Kona’s Crate, takes place in a mystical world where you must carefully deliver a crate to cranky Chief Kona. Skillfully navigate a jet-powered platform through tight spaces and around sharp corners while avoiding tricky obstacles to complete the delivery in time to win Chief Kona's approval.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:

- Modojo - “Neat concept, cool physics…very addictive.”

- Nine Over Ten – 4.5/5 - “A totally fun and challenging experience.”

- IGN - 8/10 – “The simple, repetitive gameplay and fun levels are so addictive that I can't stop playing.”

- AppleTell - “Is it contagious? Kona’s Crate is very much one of those games with levels so fast and seemingly easy that you’ll quickly found you’ve spent more time with it than you originally anticipated.”

- 148Apps - 4/5 – “Kona’s Crate is compelling stuff. It’s challenging after a while and will occasionally make the player want to tear their hair out as on the 50th attempt, they struggle to get past that pesky last corner. But players will still go back for more thanks to the appropriate physics engine that means the player never feels cheated by it.”

2.0 out of 5 stars Fun but freezes constantly

This is a really fun game and it has a unique concept. Thisb is a game that won't get boring until I get the stars for all levels. However the reason I'm giving it two stars I'd because it is virtually unplayable on my evo 3d. it only froze a few times on my original evo but now I can't even play two levels without the game freezing up. The only way to get it to work again is to use the task killer to force stop then restart it again, just to sometimes not even get post the first leading even without it freezing again and I'm frustrated because I love the game but I really can't play it. If you fix il give you 5 stars

1.0 out of 5 stars Memory Hog - Starts running in background after boot

I just noticed today after updating the app that whenever I restart my phone, it starts running in the background! There is no excuse for that. I only have so much RAM and don't need a developer to decide his game is good enough to just run in the background all the time! VERY upset about this. This is a PAID app, too!

3.0 out of 5 stars Input lag is the problem
Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2011
Verified Purchase
The game is fun and addicting, if very, very challenging. The problem is that the physics tries to be as realistic as possible, even when most similar games wouldn't be. That means that your platform has linear and rotational inertia, and that in turn means you really have to plan ahead to make even the simplest maneuvers. Don't waste your time unless you're looking a challenging game.

So, why only 3 stars then? Two words: Input lag. I can deal with the graphical lag, I am well aware that the device I'm using is borderline. The problems arise with the fact that while the graphics are lagging, the physics system isn't. So if there's a .1 second graphics lag, when it catches up your platform has moved quite a bit. The game would still be playable like that though, except that while the graphics are lagging it doesn't check for changes to input. So if you're going for a tiny adjustment tap and the graphics choose that instant to lag, even for a fraction of a second, your platform goes rocketing off in unexpected directions.

Just changing the priorities would make the game much more playable on borderline devices. First input, then graphics and physics. I'd rather be blind for a tenth of a second than have one booster locked on for that same length of time, at least it would be theoretically possible to recover from being blind. I suspect this same issue is what is causing many of the bad reviews for 'touchy controls', even for devices that aren't so borderline, I'm sure we all know how receiving a text or email can cause a momentary glitch in games with high requirements, in this game it's a death sentence.

I'm giving it three stars because the gameplay is fun, and I don't think it's right to downrate it too much based on my devices performance issues. If you have a newer device and are looking for a challenging game I'd highly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars great graphics, fun game play, and haters gonna hate
Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2011

First Id like to say that its great game with outstanding graphics. And it is precisely for that reason that it might not work on older/slower phones. People need to start rating apps based on the app itself not on exogenous factors such phone capabilities api version differences, etc. While it is important that you give feedback to the developer, do not give an app 1 star if you have not had the chance to use it.

UPDATE 03-18-12 Game issues have been resolved on the Evo 3d. The game runs well and the clever level design, beautiful,colorful graphics and soothing jungle music combine to make a challenging and thoroughly engaging game. The controls have been fine tuned and the game is quite fun! I now play the game primarily on the Kindle fire running CM7 and the game still runs beautifully and is crash free. Easily one of my favorite mobile games. The developers have followed up on thier promise to fix bugs and deliver a great game. I STRONGLY encourage anyone playing the game to purchase it if you haven't already and enjoy!

Original review from 6-23-11

The Unity game engine keeps crashing on Evo 3D. Most of the time, I don't even get a force close error. Just hangs. Hangs are kinda random but generally occur while the game is trying to save or while transitioning from one level to the next. Logcat wails about 'no id' errors on the game process. When it works, the game is beautiful and runs smoothly on the new Evo 3D-until it hangs of course. Nice level idea and accelerometer controls work well. Glad I got it on the free day. If I had actually paid for it, I would be upset that I wasted my money on a game that is not stable. Last logcat words in one crash instance were as follows:

V/Unity (24614): Unloading 160 unused Assets to reduce memory usage. Loaded Ob
jects now: 1979.
V/Unity (24614): Unloading 2 Unused Serialized files (Serialized files now loa
ded: 0 / Dirty serialized files: 0)
D/PhoneWindow(24614): couldn't save which view has focus because the focused vie
w com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayer$17@4055fdf8 has no id.
D/Unity (24614): onPause
W/ActivityManager( 254): Activity pause timeout for HistoryRecord{405fb048 com.
darkwindmedia.konascrate/com.darkwindmedia.blocks.BlocksActivity}

Overall, the game has potential. If the critical bugs are fixed, I may even consider buying it. I hope the info above is of some use to the dev.

gameplay=4+ At first I wasn't as enamoured with this game (only caught my eye since I used to live in Mona, lol) but after playing it a few times and getting he hang of it I've greatly enjoyed it. The gameplay is very well suited for our platform....its easily enjoyable for a quick few minutes or for longer extended play.\n\nThere is the problem with the update process in that it doesn't actually update at all! You are required to uninstall first. I'm not sure why as its pretty common knowledge on how to do an upgrade...its controlled by the versioning in the AndroidManifest. Anyway for those who are rooted you can get around this by backing up with Titanium, then uninstall and install the new version. Then go back into Titanium and restore he previous version but in the popular select "data only." Then you will have the newest version with all your progress
