Good but not very good

### 4/5 — Amazing like my old favourite game

*2018-02-09, version 1.3.1*

Amazing game 😄try it you can get an update it’s like terraria😞but I have a glitch please sort it out👍.

### 3/5 — A bit frustrating

*2017-11-23, version 1.3.1*

I had this game quite a while ago and enjoyed it and had no problems. So I 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 me a door is a basic item to a house.

### 5/5 — Junk Jack Retro

*2017-08-14, version 1.3.1*

Junk Jack Retro has been quiet for a while but I'm ok with that. ✍🏼

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2017-04-07, version 1.3.1*

This game was the first proper mobile game that I really enjoyed. The game is truly made from the heart and had a great community. The majority of players have moved to Junk Jack which is constantly updated but it's fun to jump back into the retro game!

### 3/5 — Why?

*2017-02-23, version 1.3.1*

It's ok...but it's confusing when I got on...I'm like what and WHAT!?sooo it's not worth 2.99...it's worth FREE.

### 4/5 — Dommage mais

*2017-01-23, version 1.3.1*

C'est dommage qui'il n'y ais pas le multijoueur mais sinon c tres bien

### 5/5 — 구매내역삭제부탁드립니다.

*2017-01-15*

부탁드립니다

### 2/5 — Short Lives Fun

*2016-12-22, version 1.3.1*

Super fun and addicting for a couple days... then incredibly boring and redundant.

### 2/5 — Fun until I tried entering crafting tables, furnaces or other interfaces

*2016-12-17, version 1.3.1*

It was quite an enjoyable game especially while exploring but you need to fix the crafting table and furnace because no matter what I tried I couldn't get into them and so game over for me.

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2016-12-11, version 1.3.1*

Easy to spend several hours at a time on this game. Massive variety of stuff to find and create. Well worth it.

### 5/5 — Junk jack retro and junk jack both AMAZING games!

*2016-12-10, version 1.3.1*

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, mine, explore, craft, gather.. fight decorate play online with friends !
The graphics are great !
The inapps are optional but help support the dev I recommend grabbing the full crafting book..
Offline wifi is not needed to play !
Easy to pick up hard to put down ...
Cons:
I got this as a Freebie they were doing and it has yet to appear in my purchases as bought ..yet allows me to review proving I have it 😡

Otherwise decent game if you like this please go grab Junk Jack it's got WAY WAY more fun and features! Ive had that for a long time and love it!

### 5/5 — Terraria

*2016-12-05, version 1.3.1*

This game is just like terraria and that is all I have to say because this game is really fun.

### 3/5 — Isn't this a knock off of Terreria?

*2016-12-05, version 1.3.1*

Terreria is way better and for the same price. I don't get the games point. It's fun, but it's already been made, and better.

### 4/5 — Sometime items can be unresponsive to moving.

*2016-12-05, version 1.3.1*

I 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.

### 5/5 — I have missed this

*2026-08-14, version 1.3.1*

This game… this game. Wow, I haven’t played this game in years. I’m 26 now and I started playing Junk jack when I was like 11. Take me back. When I found out about this game I was a hardcore Minecraft player. I payed Minecraft in its beta stage. But nothing, nothing; not even terraria has been able to make me feel like this game. Now, in 2026 I bought this gem, again, what a game, what an amazing game. I wish junk jack x was built like JJ retro but this game is the OG the one that started it all. I wish Pixbits would do something like this again. Such an amazing time spent, building, hearing their music, exploring the world, which is one of the best out there. A must buy game, a must have in your library, a must play game at least once in your life. Retro, classic, and everything about it feels just right. 

Only con…. That it died, that it’s no longer a game someone talks about, it’s no longer a game company that makes games or atleast that I know of. But damn, I wish I could go back to when this game was having updates, and good updates not like you see in Minecraft now adays. Such an amazing time spent playing this game. And you can bet your ahh that am about to spent some good quality time now on 2026 on this game. GGWP pixbits. I’m going to miss you guys.

### 5/5 — Long time

*2025-01-26, version 1.3.1*

### 5/5 — Junk Jack Retro 1.3.1

*2020-05-19, version 1.3.1*

### 5/5 — J adore

*2019-12-08*

Ce jeu est une petite petite, mix parfait entre terraria et Minecraft, musique au top une superbe mécanique, super addictif, j espère qu il sera développé sur console! 💓💓💓 allez y sans hésiter pour ceux qui aime le genre . Bonne prise en main également... bref j y retourne.... GG au dev.

### 5/5 — Как блеать?

### 5/5 — I played this before....

*2018-07-08, version 1.3.1*

I’m no noob I’ve played on both my 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 i search for treasure i always find those little edible hearts and it’s so annoying.

### 5/5 — Why no pause while crafting,while looking in craft book still!!!

*2018-06-20, version 1.3.1*

It’s 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.

### 5/5 — I couldn't craft in this game if my life depended on when I started

*2017-08-27, version 1.3.1*
