The graphics, controls, and world set up weren’t doing it for me at all. ### 1/5 — more story modes!!!! *2022-03-13* The game was a good 7.5. The “start game” button is the same as the “continue” button i think. I pressed on the “start game” button assuming it’s the same as “continue” button and it restarted the 2nd story mode. Kind of like it glitched. Specially since trying to mute the back ground sound and the attacks, it glitches out, takes me to my Home Screen. And the sound is still on. Yikes ### 5/5 — Muito bom *2021-11-06, version 2.0* Me surpreendi com tudo no jogo!!! ### 3/5 — Mäßig *2021-01-17, version 2.0* An sich ist das Spiel ein toller Retro Plattformer mit cooler Musik. Die Story ist nicht sehr tiefgründig, was jedoch zu erwarten war. Die Plattformer Elemente sind gut umgesetzt und auch die Schwierigkeit ist in Ordnung. JEDOCH ist das Spiel für 6,99€ viel zu schnell durchgespielt. Hab für beide Kapitel insgesamt 1:30h benötigt => Wenn man zu viel Geld übrig hat und einen guten schnellen Plattformer sucht, dann passt das Spiel. Ansonsten Finger weg davon und das Geld lieber anderweitig ausgeben. ### 1/5 — Stingy heath system *2020-08-05* While I am a fan of platform games. This game has found many cons on my list. If it were free the rating would be 3 stars but considering you must purchase to play I feel I should be less lenient. The health system in this game is beyond lack luster and needs a work-up/update. It is stingy to say the least. Each hit takes away half a heart and you gather hearts as you progress through the story. You can refill hearts with potions that drop (RARELY) or purchasing them from the merchant (EXPENSIVE). This becomes incredibly infuriating when you hit a save point next to a boss with 1 hit until death. The game is fun, but falls incredibly short next to other games such as Celeste. I will change my review if I see the devs work on something to make the game a tad less stingy with the health system. ### 2/5 — Problème depuis la dernière mise à jour *2020-05-16, version 2.0* La dernière mise à jour a fait disparaître les contrôles de l’écran : ils fonctionnent mais ne sont plus visible ; c’est pourtant essentiel vu la difficulté de la prise en mains. Lorsque on tente d’accéder aux paramètres des contrôles et qu’on sauvegarde, le jeu plante... Dommage ! Je retournerais volontiers continuer l’aventure et lui donner la note qu’il mérite ! ### 1/5 — Terrible controls. *2020-05-15* The controls are a major let down. ### 2/5 — Diseño amateur *2020-04-07, version 1.15* Control muy limitado, enemigos con movimientos imposibles de evadir, no hay mapa, muy frustrante. Mejor ahí está castlevania SotN ### 5/5 — Jogo bom, porém... *2020-03-25, version 1.15* Jogo excelente, bem bacana, jogabilidade boa, só que quando matei o último Boss ele travo e fecho, não carregando depois de ter matado o Boss !! ### 5/5 — Great Pixel Game *2020-03-24, version 1.15* Great game but when i changing language the game crash :( ## Frequently asked questions about JackQuest ### What is JackQuest: The Tale of the Sword about?
