What the press says:

"A Wonderful Free-Roam Game with an Irresistible Pixel Aesthetic"
-Iphonealley.com, 4.5/5

"It has charm in spades. While it isnt the first 2D sandbox building game out there, it is a particularly attractive one, sporting crisp pixel art and gorgeous lighting effects. "
"
-Toucharcade, 4/5

"Junk Jack is a hands-down, no questions asked must-own for any and all iOS users who love sandbox crafting games."
-148apps, 4.5/5

"Junk Jack isnt Minecraft, nor does it feel like it needs to be as its 2D world provides the same level of novel exploration fun while presenting challenges of its own to overcome; a tightly balanced free form experience thats only going to get better with time."

Pros and cons of Junk Jack Retro app for iPhone and iPad

Junk Jack Retro app good for

If you have $2,99, make this your investment. Worth any single cent and doesnt get old like most games for iOs.

Dear Dant_S or something like that. A game that show you all the recipes is lame. Notes are an awesome way to make it better. And they have a Wiki. With all the recipes. With all the tutorials. So, if you like spoilers or ruin the fun, you can go there.

Its a really fun game. Theres alot of stuff which is a bit overwhelming but thats better than nothing. I find it hard at the start because you dont know anything (if youre a beginner) when it was my first time i had to keep switching to the wiki for stuff to build and craft, it would be better if you didnt have to pay for the recipe. I also suggest to update this one to have multiplayer so that the people who want multiplayer on junk jack doesnt have to pay for junk jack 2 just for multiplayer. Im still debating if im going to buy junk jack 2 because i dont know if youre going to add new stuff because theres already a TON of stuff on junk jack, other than that to people whos still thinking to buying this, you should, its a really addicting game thats hard to put down. Keep it up PixBits.

I love! Junk jack... But I have one issue, I want to explore so i went to the right non stop and then about 10 minutes later it was like there was an invisible block and I couldnt go any further yet the terrain was right i front of me, is this supposed to happen or is a glitch, it is very. Annoying can someone please respond

I love it! (People btw, they are not releasing any more updates for this because if they want to update it, they have to update it to iPhone 5 but they cant. Sorry.)

This is a fantastic game, however, for some reason after a while I cant press the inventory buttons until I flip my iPhone the other way.

Some bad moments

In this game the manual dont show all the things that you can build so i didnt find any videos teaching you and the unique way that you have is find papers arround the world and this is so boring . I dont know make a door or a bed.

Not worth the money. The blockheads is another app that is similar

Bad game it isnt fun what so ever I get bored of it to fast. Go buy terraria way more better and much more fun!

Game is not intuitive. Instructions werent that helpful. Gave up after frustration. Many of the reviews are clearly not from users.

I want a refund. Terraria is up to 10X better, 9 times out of 10.

I want my money back! Its a total copy of terraria you cant control your movement and its overal just boring
