Action and Role-Playing in their purest, gleefulest form!

Fastar! is the timeless tale of a boy with a big sword and a bowtie journeying across vast lands while being ambushed by malicious geometry. Wait, what, seriously? Im not typing that, it doesnt make any sense. Oh, look what you made me do. Ill just start over.

Fastar! is an Action RPG for when you just dont have time for an Action RPG. Dead simple to pick up and play, youll be slashing and shopping your way across the grassy plains of [irrelevant flavorful name of fantasy world here] in seconds. Youll cross the world in mere minutes. But mastery of your true objective -- reaching that goal as fast as humanly possible -- could take a lifetime*.

Fun for everyone from the casual player who loves to mash buttons, to the hardcore gamer-optimizer who loves to mash numbers, Fastar! will provide you with hours of minutes of seconds of simple arcadey joy.

Featured features:

- Reasonably adorable hand-drawn graphics!

- 24 different game modes for a variety of play experiences, some of which dont actually count!

- Global arcade-style high scores lists, where you can become internationally renowned if your full name is three letters or less!

- Flashy magic spells for any kind of player, from Daring to Thrifty to Congealed!

- A variety of control schemes to suit your particular playing posture! (Astronaut gymnasts excepted)

- Sometimes in the background you can see a guy on a unicycle! Look for him, hes nice.

Pros and cons of Fastar! app for iPhone and iPad

Fastar! app good for

Never seen anything quite like this Fast paced, fun and lots of game modes, even though a bit repetitive still love it though

Actually quite fun, controls are quite manageable and can also be changed to your liking. 5 stars all the way!!!

It`s addictiing. Its simple. The next best quick --"pick up and play" game since "Half-Minute Hero" for PSP.

When "Run!" meets "The Legend of Zelda", Fastar! is born. Fastar! is a semi-unique side scrolling game that combine the elements of speed and attack. This game has cartoonish graphics which match its gaming style. Gameplay features a customizable character who wields a large sword. His goal is to reach the finish, defeating cubes and upgrading along the way. There are several different game modes, each with a different gameplay style. The sound from Fastar! Was extraordinary. Fastar! has smooth animation, and a high replay value. However, a "Story Mode" with a storyline may be valued by many players.

I like this game cause its original, and its really fun! it might not be something i would pay for but all and all its a good game

Its a great game, I just wish I could listen to my music while playing.

Some bad moments

Do not download. This game is so boring. I was over it faster than it took to download. Comparing it to Zelda is a disgrace. If fighting squares is your thing this is your game. GET BETTER ENEMIES!

Good If you want to kill a couple minutes and this is your only app. This game is not worth 99 cents.

I bought it for 0.99 cents and the game is horrible. I dont recommend it. But it is free now so see for yourself.

Got this game after reading reviews...its not bad... But only entertains you for about 10 mins.

I cant update my score. I will change my rating once this will be fixed. Otherwise, good and fun game!

I have had an iPhone for 2 years, bought and downloaded hundreds of apps and this one if by far the biggest waste of a dollar. Repetitive, bad plot and boring!! I played for 2 minutes and started to cry!!! Oh and where do they get off calling it an RPG game...it is NoT!!!....this is the third time I have left this review, never done that for any other game, just want to warn innocent people of the horribleness of this of the game....and yes the person who compared this to Zelda HAD to have been paid off by the creators!!!
