Better late than never; Junk Jack is a masterpiece. Personally, I like it better than Minecraft and that's saying a lot, because Minecraft is one of the best games ever made, IMO.

I'm a relatively new iphoner and just picked this up today. I was so floored by how responsive the controls are and the depth of it all that I had to look for a thread about this game just to post how freaking awesome this game is. Enjoying it more than I did Terraria and a crapton more than I did Minecraft O: Thanks for this game guys! Can't wait to see how far you go with it.

I finally decided to try out Minecraft on Monday and I am hooked. Then I figured out how to play Junk Jack and went crazy. I played yesterday so long that my thumb is sore. I can't play now because it hurts . It's so much fun. It's so hard not to play it.
