### 4/5 — Possible Bug On New IPhone

*2025-01-05, version 1.2.17*

I’ve downloaded this game every time i’ve got a new phone, but i recently switched to the iphone 15 and im suddenly stuck on level 4-10. I’ve watched the tutorial and im doing everything right but the timer for the wings just isn’t long enough for that section. Could be a resolution problem but im not too sure. Other than that ive always loved this one and keep coming back to it. Sad i can’t get any further considering ive beat it multiple times in the past.

### 3/5 — Fun concept, flawed execution

*2022-12-20, version 1.2.17*

It’s a really great looking retro platformer. Simple design and fun concept. But the mechanics are clunky and it crosses the line from difficult to irritating. Certain actions (like the wall jump or fly or stall mechanics) need to be executed with incredible precision, but they seem to succeed or fail at random, particularly when transitioning from one action set to another. The only solution is to keep trying the same combo ad nauseam until it succeeds. For me, it stopped being a challenging kind of fun and became a battle of wills against a broken machine.

### 4/5 — Great little platform game.

*2022-11-21, version 1.2.17*

So I was searching for "Kirby" and this is the only thing that came up. Downloaded it and it was awesome, really smooth graphics and rendering, not putting pop up ads on every restart (thankfully) and overall a really great game, very reminiscent of the old platformer games. :)

### 3/5 — Glitch in level 2-5

*2022-05-19, version 1.2.17*

I have played this games many times and love it however this time around when playing i am stuck on level 2-5. once jack or jill have bumped off the second spring jump at the beginning it makes u land on a spike every time. Cannot land on the meanie what so ever. U installing until a fix is made.

### 3/5 — Love it but one thing

*2021-06-14, version 1.2.17*

Sometimes while in flight mode.. you catch the shoe and have a big jump coming but jack doesn’t change to shoe mode fast enough so you die trying to make the big jump and can’t excel further.. otherwise I love the game!

### 3/5 — Great game but....

*2021-02-16, version 1.2.17*

I have had this game on several different phones, and it was always great, but for some reason now it’s off (iPhone 12). The timers always run out later than they should causing some jumps to be impossible and there is one particular level I’m on (5-16, I believe) where I’m supposed to be jumping off a stationary block onto an enemy, and for some reason Jack over jumps the enemy every time! It’s at the beginning of the level, so I can’t go any further in the game. Guess I’ll be uninstalling it. Was really looking forward to beating it again.

### 4/5 — Fantastic game with only 2 drawbacks

*2020-07-28, version 1.2.17*

I’ve been playing this game ever since I was 11 and got my first tablet naturally I wasn’t very good at it. Recently I decided to pick the game up again and I have discovered that it is a fantastic game with great controls, level design, and difficulty level. Overall this game is a challenging yet fun game. My only two complaints are that some jumps can be a little too precise and the ending is a little disappointing. I am excited to play through the mirror mode of this game so that I can play this fantastic game again

### 3/5 — Was great, now broken

*2019-11-02, version 1.2.15*

I really like this game, been playing it on and off for a while now. However, following the latest IOS update (13.2), the game doesn’t display properly - it’s squished down to half the screen and you can’t see half of what’s going on. Please fix this!!

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2019-10-31, version 1.2.15*

Really enjoy the background score and simple graphics of this game, nice way to kill time in bus/train.

### 4/5 — Really needs an update

*2019-09-17, version 1.2.15*

The game was really fun when it actually worked. Now whenever I try to open it the game crashes. I really wish it still worked cuz it was so fun :(

### 3/5 — No funciona en iOS 8

Love!

### 5/5 — Great game!!

*2018-12-02, version 1.2.15*

This game is so amazing and it’s unbelievable that its free!! The graphics and controls are amazing and ads are fairly used (meaning that they aren’t annoying or spammy) I could play this game for hours. 10/10 would want everyone to play.

### 5/5 — Amazing❤️❤️

*2018-08-13, version 1.2.14*

I first found this game back when I was in fifth or fourth grade and I still love it very much❤️ the pixel graphics make it so lovable and just playing it is a simple and calming experience

### 5/5 — Супер игра

*2018-05-01, version 1.2.11*

очень интересная игра, музыка графика и проработка уровней на высшем уровне 10 из 10

### 3/5 — Theres a problem...

*2018-02-23, version 1.2.12*

I just opened up the app, it looks reaall nostalgiac... but, the screen is not optimised for the iPad, the text goes off screen, plz fix this

### 5/5 — This game is Great!!!!

*2017-11-13, version 1.2.11*

The graphics are awesome I just love it. The music is really fun and easy to play to. It’s just I can’t listen to the music with out my headphones. 

The levels are fun and there’s always a new challenge. What keeps me going is the mirror. I have no ideas what that is and I’m determined to figure it out. 

That you for this game I love it so much.

### 1/5 — The worst game ever!

### 1/5 — Beug !

*2019-10-06, version 1.2.15*

Gros beug avec ios13 😡
Le jeu tourne seulement sur la moitié de l’écran...

### 1/5 — Ads

*2018-02-21, version 1.2.12*

Too many ads that pop up even if wifi is off. It makes the game harder to play and makes it lag

### 1/5 — Needs an update

*2016-02-09, version 1.1.7*

Game doesn't work.

### 1/5 — This game isn't fun

*2016-01-31, version 1.1.7*

This game is impossible to beat, it's not fun when you die over and over again and get nowhere. I do not recommend this game for people with stress. 😡

### 1/5 — HATE HATE HATE HATE!!!!!!!!!

*2014-10-16*

THIS GAME IS A BABY GAME I NEALY MADE IT TO THE END OF ALL OF THE LEVELS WHEN IT STOPED WORKING WHENT OUT OF THE GAME ABD WHEN I WENT BACK IN TO THE GAME IT STARTED BACK AT LEVEL ONE 

- Make sure this doesnt happen agin
- if it happens agin I'll write a badder report

### 1/5 — Photo app

*2014-04-11, version 1.1*

Worst app all you see is just photos the same you do to view the app in AppStore

### 2/5 — Little heteronormative

*2015-08-17, version v1.1.6*

It's just a bit boring to see another Jack n Jill? Where's the Jack n Jack or Jill n Jill option? Relate to yr gay playas as well as yr straight ones please.

### 2/5 — Pretty brutal

*2014-03-06, version 1.0.7*

The controls don't always work, the levels are boring, there are problems with hitboxes, wall jumping could be so much better, the ending is pretty bad, the graphics aren't even retro (they are just bad) and the music is pretty annoying.

The only good thing is that some features work as expected, and there are little crashes. 

Most of the levels are just about memorizing the timing of jumps or else you lose. That's not fun. The collision detection is also fairly buggy.

Overall, an insult to "retro" games.

### 2/5 — Bitte Update!

*2013-12-05, version 1.0.4*

Der spielbildschirm ist total verzerrt und die Figur wird nicht angezeigt :(

Bitte Update!!

### 5/5 — Super!!!

*2026-04-08, version 1.2.17*

Eines meiner Lieblingsspiele.

Check nicht, dass es nicht super populär ist.

### 5/5 — Lindo

*2025-10-10, version 1.2.17*

Me gusta mucho es muy bueno, siempre lo vuelvo a descargar ✨

### 5/5 — Muy entretenido

*2024-03-12, version 1.2.17*

El juego es justo lo que buscaba pensando en plataformas. Tiene muchos niveles, la dificultad va subiendo y aunque se vea muy tierno hay niveles que sí pueden costar trabajo, más si se busca conseguir todas las monedas. 
La música está cool y el arte es sencillo per lindo.
Muy recomendable. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

### 5/5 — Supi Spiel

*2022-09-12, version 1.2.17*

Ein super tolles Spiel ohne Werbung und etliche versuche.Nur Welt 5-15 komm ich einfach nicht weiter.

### 5/5 — Cute

*2022-08-17, version 1.2.17*

Still come back to this game many times. The replayability is good. It's like seeing an old friend. 

For the user stuck on 2-5. Same for the first spring don't jump let the character run to the spring. The spring launches you directly above the squishy. Land the jump and tap off to propel forward onto the ground. **Usually you don't need to do anything for the second spring. It gets you across the whole way.

### 5/5 — Can’t stop!

*2021-11-04, version 1.2.17*

I remember when I first played this game with my friend around 2013. I was hooked and got her to download it so we could play together. She beat the game before I did, and I rushed to beat it as well. Upon finishing it, I deleted it, but reinstalled it not many years later. This game allowed me to sit back and just make up silly little stories in my head; it’s simplicity allowed me to fuel my creativity.

### 5/5 — The game crashes on start

*2021-03-26, version 1.2.17*

The game always crashes on start does anyone know how to fix this my current IOS Version is the last IOS 9 update my device is a iPad Mini 4

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2020-07-18, version 1.2.17*

Simple yet challenging.
Plenty of levels.
Not too infuriating.

### 5/5 — Es el juego mas tierno UwU

*2020-06-12, version 1.2.16*

Es muy lindo, en especial por que creo que da a entender lo lindo que es el amor y como Jack ama a Jill

### 5/5 — Must Play

*2020-06-04, version 1.2.16*

I’ve been playing this game off and on for years and I always enjoy it. I just finished the game and I’m very satisfied with every aspect. The levels are challenging but not hard and the ads are fair for a free game. I would 100% recommend to my friends.
