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 isn't 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 isn't 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 that's only going to get better with time." -Appspy, 5/5

8 of 15But Once I started it was👌 Combats also another problem but I love how free the game lets you be in in minecraft you are forced to punch wood All DAY in ur first day But it's a nice mix of blockheads terraria and minecraft
This game was part of my childhood. I still play it once in a while.
It’s a fantastic game but why still no pause while crafting and looking in craft book lt would be nice it if pause like junk jack x.
I’m no noob I’ve played on both my old ipad and old ipod touch a long time ago.Can you please make one suggestion though? Can you please make valentine hearts less rare or remove them? Everytime when i search for treasure i always find those little edible hearts and it’s so annoying.
Good but not very good
Super fun and addicting for a couple days... then incredibly boring and redundant.
MULTIPLAYER PLEASE PLEASE IM BEGGING YOU IT WOULD BE THE COOLEST THING IN THE WHOLE WORLD OF JUNK JACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Junk jack came to iOS FIRST before the "PC" port of Terraria ..Junk Jack is made for mobiles and not some PC port .. Pros : many things to craft Much to do, mine, explore, craft, gather.. fight decorate play online with friends ! The graphics are great ! The inapps are optional but help support the dev I recommend grabbing the full crafting book.. Offline wifi is not needed to play ! Easy to pick up hard to put down ... Cons: I got this as a Freebie they were doing and it has yet to appear in my purchases as bought ..yet allows me to review proving I have it 😡 Otherwise decent game if you like this please go grab Junk Jack it's got WAY WAY more fun and features! Ive had that for a long time and love it!
