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

"If youre a fan of the popular Minecraft game that is a favorite among hundreds of thousands of people, theres a pretty high chance that youll love the iPhone app Junk Jack. There is plenty to do in the world of Junk Jack, but whats even better is that the developers have got even more in store for the application."
-Appsafari, 4.5/5

"Less of a game and more of an adventure in existence, Junk Jack offers a rich environment to farm and craft to your hearts content."
-Appsmile, 4/5

"For $2.99 it's surprising how long you can play the game and with steady updates coming a lot the way, Junk Jack will continue to get better and better all for just $2.99."
-Mobiletechreview.com

"If you're looking for a challenging, visually satisfying take on Minecraft on the go, I highly recommend you pick up Junk Jack."
-Kotaku.com

"Junk Jack lets you navigate a beautiful sandbox world where your creativity is the only limit to enjoyment. Crafting, exploration, mining, combat its everything it promised and more."

Customer Reviews

Update: BEST. INDY. DEV. EVER. (5 stars)
It just keeps getting better! Dev is constantly updating and improving on an already SOLID re-do of Minecraft. This developer has done more updates with more content with more polish than any other Indy game developer I've ever come across. I always think to myself "this has to be the point where they've done all they can do. I'm probably not going to see any more updates". But I'm proven wrong every time! AND NOW IT'S UNIVERSAL!!

Thoroughly addicting (5 stars)
Warning: you can kiss your productivity and social life goodbye if you get this game. You've been warned.

Amazing Developers! (5 stars)
There are few games on ANY system that have developers who truly love their fans as much as their product. This is one of them! These developers put incredible effort into making HUGE free updates constantly! Please support these developers who appreciate their fans unlike the freemium developers who only care about your money!!!

Oh, and the game is AWESOME by the way!!!

From all your fans:

THANK YOU PIXBITS!!!
