What players say
Players describe JackQuest as a short 2-3 hour platformer that draws clear inspiration from Wonder Boy. The movement feels odd to many, with a fast descent after jumps making platforming tricky. Opinion is split: some find it a charming, simple experience while others say the price feels too high for the content offered.
