Junk Jack X/Long time no post, eh

Today, I will be reviewing Junk Jack X, a game for iOS ($4.99) that is great, but is missing a few things. I will be talking more about the new features in X in this review, and the actual game mechanics in my review of the first game.

First of all, this game is the sequel to Junk Jack, which is also a great game (I will review it in the future), but unlike it's predecessor, this game seems unfinished as in it has useless items, and some bugs. It has added new things that it's predecessor didn't have, like multiplayer, planets, and new enemies. The multiplayer uses Gamecenter to connect you to other people at random, but it only supports up to two players. They have also added special world locks, to prevent others from destroying your stuff. Speaking of worlds, I should probably also mention the planet system. The first planet, Terra is like Earth in that it is the most habitable planet (so far). The next planet, Seth, is a Egypt/Desert planet, with lots of sand, but to get to it, you need to find three portal pieces on Terra. If you find three more portal pieces on Seth you can go on to the next planet, and so on, until you run out of planets to explore (the devs keep adding more, so no worries :P). lastly, there are new enemies (and blocks :D), to check out. Most of these come from the other planets, so you might want to put finding portal pieces high on your priority list.

Overall I would recommend this game to anyone who likes Minecraft (you can see my review, here).




Ok, so anyone who has been reading this may have noticed I haven't posted recently, and I'm sorry about that, I will try to post more soon.
