If you're not pleased then you can just refund it with no worries whatsoever.. Make a pickaxe. Run from monsters. Die alot. Wear Fez hats. Best game 2016. Junk Jack was probably the best game on the Ipod touch/Iphone. This game is a port of it's sequel, Junk Jack X, to the PC. It controls well enough, but some of the manuvers that made moving around in the original version are impossible thanks to the lack of touch controls. The trade off to keyboard is well worth that sacrifice though. The main pull to Junk Jack, at least for me, is not the digging or the crafting or all the standard crafting game features. It's the fat loot. Useless, decorative trinkets that can be found all over the place and displayed prominantly on shelves, tables, and display cases. Junk Jack (X) appears to have toned down the drop chances of these bits of loot, which makes them all the more precious when you find them. The game has a large amount of these useless trinkets, hence the name "Junk Jack." Junk Jack (X) comes with a couple new features as far as the series is concerned. One of those is character customization, another is multiplayer. I have not tried the multiplayer yet, so no comment on it from me. Apparently, Junk Jack (X) has other planets you can visit, but I have yet to see them, though from video and screenshots, they look pretty good.Junk Jack is a naturally very quiet game, with little bits of music popping in infrequently to break up the silence. Ambient noise is provided by nearby creatures such as birds, cats, dogs, cows, sheep, pigs, deer, bears, boar, rats, zombies, skeletons, slimes, etc. etc. etc. The number of creatures their are to mutilate is fantastic.One major issue I have though, is the price tag. Junk Jack (X) is a decent investment of around 5$, On the PC it would be a decent buy for 7 or 8 bucks. Junk Jack for PC costs 15$. Fifteen dollars doesn't seem like a lot, but for a game like Junk Jack, it is a lot. I'd put junk jacks price tag at the low end of "overpriced." I have a metaphorical "bin" where I put overpriced games, Junk Jack would be resting right on the edge of that bin, staring down at games like prison architect, clockwork empires, Age of Empires 3, that game where you are trying to escape from prison that I am having trouble remembering the name of, and oblivion while I sit nearby trying to decide whether to push Junk Jack into the bin or not.Oh yeah, and another issue? Junk Jack released compiled for windows 10, so most people couldn't play it right away until pixbits (the developer) released a patch. The patch came quick, but the damage was done. To Pixbits credit though, they have been running damage control very effectively, being fairly polite to people with issues, and helping as best they can.I recommend this game, but I also caution you. Think long and hard if 15$ is what you want to pay for this game.. This game trash. lets get into why I say that, these are the biggest issues.-The premise of the game is to get stuff underground, which means you have to go back up. A LOT. You spend more time traveling back to the surface repeatedly do make things than exploring. My solution was to just keep my crafting supplies and thing in my inventory and not have a base or home which doesn't work well since there are small inventories. This isn't like other games of the sort (I have them all) with terraria there's recall potions or magic mirrors, starbound has ship teleport, Crea has warp stones so you can just teleport back to your house, Minecraft is a small world and not entirely based underground so this isn't an issue.-Combat is♥♥♥♥♥♥ You get a few bland tiny attack radius weapons and enemys that either slowly walk towards you and can never hit you, or throw things that dont do jack♥♥♥♥♥♥ You can get through the entire game without a weapon bcus you can place blocks almost anywhere on your screen and just block them off and kill them with lava or ignore them.-What's the point? its to collect items and get better equipment but there's no final goal it's just becoming a horder and mining for hours that isn't fun since combat is♥♥♥♥♥♥-Portals, the way to travel planets is to find portal chests and once you get three you get a portal to another world, except when you press M it brings up a map that shows ALL LIGHT SOURCES EVEN IF YOU HAVN'T SEEN THE ARE YET WITHIN LIKE 50 BLOCKS OR MORE (you're 1 block large it's a large area around you that you can see on the map). which means all loot areas and portal chests (they glow) are basically mapped out for you, there goes the exploration part, the only thing this game had left.This game MIGHT be worth wasting some time on if it was free never buy this game get any others, Crea, Starbound, Terraria, Dig or Die 2, Minecraft, and if you've played all these and other worthwhile games of the type like I have don't waste your money on this.. I quite like this game. Its like terraria or starbound for people with bad computers. Worlds load really fast on default settings.There are quite a few negatives however or things some might find to be negatives.1. Only 1 accessory slot and accessories are hard to craft.2. Pets are only vanity when equiped.3. Your only allowed 1 defensive potion buff at a time.4. Its uses minecraft Light level decides spawning instead of Terraria player placed blocks prevent spawing.5. Every planet feels like they use the same terrain generation on the surface with a different splash of paint6. A ton of enemies very obviously share the same AI7. You can't search crafts by item used in it (like searching wood widget and see every craft involving it).8. No in game help or clues how to make potions (And quite a few potion ingrediants are rare drops).9. Items fly into open hotbar slots (very annoying when farming)10. No crafting while doing something else (similar to 7 days to die) to take some pain out of simple crafting.11. No bosses or epic boss loot.12. Lava destroys all items, no matter how important like portal pieces.13. Buckets don't stack14. Tons of animals you'd think you could tame but cannot like boars, foxes, squirrels, ect.15. No Npcs to live with you like terraria/starbound. Or shop keepers.16. Tons of food everywhere, but no hunger or thirst even on the hardest difficulty.17. Tons of farm animals, but no horses or mounts.18. Early game its easy to feel like your not progressing due to ore rarity. My second planet I unlocked was seth where I basically just found the same ores as terra.19. Best ore for planet type are VERY VERY RARE.20. Low Tool durability and slow mining speed. (even titanium tools feel like they break too quickly relative to how rare thier ores are)21. Sometimes the music just stops for long periods of time.22. You can craft a clock, but carrying it won't display the time like terraria/project zomboid.23. When crafting it won't take into consideration whats in nearby chests.24.Animals just instantly respawn if you leave an area and return so long as there is grass and its day (similiar to old school minecraft). So you can get all the cow, boar, bacon, ect meat and leather you want in a jiffy.25. Enemies can't break doors. And can only get you if they spawn inside your base due to light levels.26. Rare Treasure don't do anything, can't be sold, and don't say anything on them.27. Things often have to be used or worn to add to collection.28. No cool accesory granted abilities like teraria.29. no repairing or enchanting items.30. Ladders can only be placed from the bottom up. And ladder climb speed is terribly slow Vs minecraft ladders or terraria's ropes.That out of the way. This game has hundreds of blue print pages to find (Just a shame none of them list potion recipies) that show you how to craft things so you don't need a wiki like you do with minecraft. And theres a lot of planets to explore. Some end game enemies hit very hard on hardest difficulty settings, like 50% of my hp in a single hit in full unencrusted titanium armor. Undead burn in sunlight, animals drown in water, lava kills most things (but sadly destroys all drops). Theres a large number of redstone like items to create (more than i've seen in unmodded minecraft or terraria). You can farm (Though its extremely easy and requires no watering. But getting seeds can be quite hard for things like fruit trees), raise animals (more demanding), go fishing, hunt down the MANY MANY rare drop items, try to collect all the portal pieces to visit all 12 worlds (Not that you need too to reach end tier). Collect every treasure, all clothing, every pet, ect.. If Minecraft, Terraria and Starbound all had a threesome and gave birth to a child, then that child decided to get it on with Mario; you would get this. Its awesome. Buy it.. Started the game.... played it for 9 hours straight.After reading a few of the negative reviews I almost didn't buy this game, glad I did. This game may not be for everybody (especially if you are looking for a deep story, or tough boss fights) but if you are looking to just relax, and enjoy some basic crafting, experimenting and exploring, then you will enjoy the game for what it is, a sandbox.. For those of you who would rather cut to the chase and get a short comparison, jump to the very bottom. Otherwise feel free to read all that i have hereDon't be discouraged by the negative reviews comparing this game to Terraria. This is actually a very well made game which developers have been updating regularly since the original release of the game on IOS a few years ago. I will, however, give a brief overview of what the gameplay consists of and what you can expect to find as opposed to terraria.-Junk Jack is a "play your way" kind of game with various difficulty settings to from peaceful, which is a casual players setting, to very hard, which is the most challenging game mode featuring hordes of enemies which will kill you and make you drop everything once you die (once its dropped, its lost). Terraria, on the other hand, forces the player to fight enemies throughout the game.-Junk Jack is focused more towards looting rare items, weapons, and armor from enemies and chests where terraria is focused more on the fighting. Terraria players seek to collect mainly weapons and armor from defeating enemies and collecting ores from their underground spelunking.-Junk Jack now uses a very similar armor layout to terraria where there are "in effect" slots and "vanity" slots. So, say you have a piece of armor which gives you a stat boost you simply cannot go on without but its just so horrendously ugly. You can wear something you like in your vanity slot which will allow you to keep the stats of the armor while looking the way you like.-Junk Jack has a HUGE crafting system. Half of all the things that can be made will be crafted from one of the crafting tables which also have to be crafted. This crafting system brings alot of the excitement into the game because the players can search for the items down below ground required to craft it and maybe face off against a few enemies to obtain a rare piece needed to craft the objects. Terrarias crafting system is much smaller in comparison and players will be more concerned with crafting better weapons due to the nature of the gameplay.-Money is not an object in Junk Jack. You are the only human character in the game aside from other PC's playing with you in a multiplayer game. No NPC's. Everything is available to you but you have to find it or make it yourself. You can trade with players for items you need if you have something you can give to them in return.-Junk Jack has a creative mode which allows you to build whatever you like how you like it. You can design a house exactly how you would want, or maybe test a contraption design to keep the monsters at bay.Of course I didn't include everything which separates the two games but these reasons are what I feel distinguishes them most.For those of you who skipped to the end:Both games are 2d sandbox platformers with a wide range of weapons, armor, and blocks for you to build with.Junk Jack has more blocks, weapons, armor, and enemies than Terraria. Terraria is a tactful enemy grinding game with bigger bosses and more interesting weapons. If you want a HUGE sandbox game with freedom to do just about anything, go ahead and buy this, its well worth the money. If you want to fight off enemies and bathe in the glory of defeating moonlord on solo, play Terraria.. Great game, played this on iOS back in the day and now happy it has come to PC! :). This game can be seen as a 2D platformer much like terraria, but with a style unique to itself. From the Graphics, Music and Game World, Junk Jack delivers on all of my expectations that I had when I first heard that the game was coming to PC. For the more fine details, see my list of Pros and Cons below:PROS:-Smooth Gameplay and Framerate-Awesome Graphics-Good Music-Addictive Nature (wanting to collect craftbook pages & explore the underground biomes)-Multiplayer (still experimental)-Unique Biomes and world (monsters)-Literally hundreds of crafting recipies (foods, crafting benches, armor, weapons, clothes, houses as well as treasure to collect)CONS:-Slightly awkward control scheme at first, but you get used to it -No Gamepad Support (as of yet)-Price may put off people from buying itOverall, I'd say that the game is worth the $15 price tag considering it's being developed by two guys, who had to essentially remake the game for PC. Either way, you be the judge! NOTE: The game has/had some issues starting on Windows 7 for me, as well as other users. The Developers released a list of potential fixes on their blog as well as a patch that fixed any and all issues that I was having, so I think that it's now stable on all operating systems.
