Hear from the Players – Junk Jack Retro Reviews
Find out what gamers are saying about Junk Jack Retro:
We like this game more than Terraria game and now with this latest amazing update we can enjoy more of this game on the big screen of our iPad Pro. Thanks for the update.
But Once we started it was Combats also another problem but we 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 is just like terraria and that is all we have to say because this game is really fun.
THANK YOU for updating this game!!! When we first bought it we never really clicked with it. We tried multiple times to get into it, but just couldn’t. But over the last couple years, we’ve grown to enjoy the crafting genre and the update prompted us to give this another shot. Now, 4 days later or so, and we’ve spent pretty much all of our spare-time digging, collecting materials and building everything we can. This game is fantastic. Especially with the casual/no enemy option… You can play to relax or go digging looking for stronger and stronger enemies and weapons. Once we build a few homes we’re completely happy with, it’s great to know we’ve got a-whole-nother Junk Jack game to get into! Again, THANK YOU for not just abandoning this game and making sure it’ll last into the near future (and hopefully get you a few more new fans as well!). Very recommended for crafting fans!!!!
Its 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.
This is better for than terrarria in our opinion and we love the map packs too! Wish it was online though so we could play with our siblings and friends. Please come out with more updates!
We like the game but it would be way better if it had creative mode.
Im no noob we’ve played on both our 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 we search for treasure we always find those little edible hearts and its so annoying.
How about a virtual reality Junk Jack Retro 1.3.1 as is (think about it)
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, ours, explore, craft, gather.. Fight decorate play online with friends ! The graphics are great ! The inapps are optional but help support the dev we recommend grabbing the full crafting book.. Offline wifi is not needed to play ! Easy to pick up hard to put down … Cons: we got this as a Freebie they were doing and it has yet to appear in our purchases as bought .. Yet allows us to review proving we have it Otherwise decent game if you like this please go grab Junk Jack it’s got WAY WAY more fun and features! We’ve had that for a long time and love it!
We wish the game was more responsive to dragging items. Sometime when you try to move an item, it take several tries to be able to move it.
We love this game but it has not go a content update in 6 years. We want Multiplayer up to 4 play on local and online please add more content.
It’s ok… But it’s confusing when we got on… We’re like what and WHAT!? Sooo it’s not worth 2.99… It’s worth FREE.
Terreria is way better and for the same price. We don’t get the games point. It’s fun, but it’s already been made, and better.
We had this game quite a while ago and enjoyed it and had no problems. So we decided to get it again and went to craft a door and it wouldn’t work it was the exact recipe and that is what frustrates us a door is a basic item to a house.
Super fun and addicting for a couple days… Then incredibly boring and redundant.
We tried it for five days. Deleted.
Crashing in iPhone 6 iOS 10.1.1.
After jj retro update it crashes on opening on the iPhone 6 plus.
Only one problem, there are some items that we can’t craft, even when we HAVE the recipe.
A year or two back we got this game and it wasn’t that good, we got it again today and we CAN’T STOP PLAYING IT SO GET THE GAME IT’S AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We will be happy, pixbits please don’t hoe your customer and make faithful fans pay again, useful IAP are almost better buying a whole new game.
We hope that their is going to be an update on may 31 or 30 or 1. We wander how to get cloth because you should make crafting like minecraft because it is hard to get the Farnese in the game ok. You hanser should be sone. By the way you should make your games with your last name your name would make it beater wen we pairsh you games.
Just like minecraft but 2d and on the iPod it needs creative though.
We love this game sooooo much and we have some cool ideas plz check them out. Things to add – ARMOR,WEAPONS,cloths,MULTIPLAYER, also it would feel better if you could jump higher also jet packs capes and more ores/gems for armor and tools. Last fix stuff like when you open a door it opens only one way. We hope you guys can at least add one of the asked things thx.
This games blows our head off with the caves biomes chest statues graphics items this game we would get it with a heart beat.
The stupid critics that review this game 1 are just people that are not away from their home, because they could play minecraft. We say this game is a comparison to minecraft PC because of all the addons.
Friggin’ awesome game. We would love to see some more content updates. Can’t wait for Junk Jack X!!
At first we didn’t like it because crafting was hard but when we got the hang of it it was awesome better than terraria too so buy the game and if u don’t like it at first keep playing it gets awesome.
We love this game and we can’t wait for the sequel junk jack X it’s supposed to have multiplayer (local and Game Center), armor, and better inventory.
Please make the game easyer to play and add muiltiplayer plz.
Since we like pixbits and junk jack so much we’ll buy junk jack x.
We love this game we had it a while ago we are getting junk jack x!!!!!!!!!!!
Now we really wish we could get JJX.
Love this game ALOT but you guys haven’t updated and we know why apples new update thing what a bunch of butts.
We dont care what people have to say about this we love this game it is amazing.
Buy this game it’s super fun and its challenging. You need to use tons of different items to make stuff and you can find pages in dirt but mostly in crates. You can find crates by the surface or 5 blocks under(you can see them) and you can find snails anywhere. You need to buy this game and to break blocks you need to keep taping on them. BUY IT trust us.
We absolutely love this game, we just wish it were updated for the new resolution screens like for the iPhone 6, it doesn’t take that much away from the game but it’s just a thought. Other than that complaint, which isn’t that big, we love it.
This is a great game buy it!!!!!! They should update it where u can make armor and add some more cool stuff but great game u should stop reading this and go but it now!!!!
We love the game and everything but there is one thing that we would like to have… Multiplayer like a local type of gameplay.
Just absolutely entertaining. Can’t wait for future updates..
This app is amazing minecraft was blown into the dust in this app you can almost make anything but you need multiplayer thanks for the awesome app.
We really liked Junk Jack and we’re excited for the sequel!
This game has been with us since the month it came out, and in the past few years, these guys have worked really hard on this game. Every month they come out with a new update with loads of stuff implemented in like tweaks, additions, and bug fixes. These guys surely deserve to be one of the top developers. This game surely has to be purchased by many of you, if not then WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR! Now since Junk Jack X came out, this game will still be the great idea that started it all.
Wow, we just got the ‘Get a Life’ achievement for playing 100+ hours of this game! The basis of the game is brilliant, the art-style is a must have original quality, and the wide-spread of the game is fantastic! We’re hooked to the game and we don’t think we’re going to let this go. We rarely give 5 star ratings but this game has shown its self worthy and we hope the game will continue to flourish and expand. This is a must have adventure!
