JACK 'N' HAT

Was nice. Fun to play, Nice MuSick, Okaish story. Take it on sales if you love a platformer.

Great game, bit like mario

Game seems a bit generic, but overall not bad. However, the game is currently completely unplayable because the 5th stage is impossible to pass. If it ever gets patched I'll give it another chance. This is the spot that is impossible to pass at the moment https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cxc-_3LWPFs I've tried over 50 times, it is impossible to slide through there. Also for some reason you unlock all achievement in the game within the first hour, even though it isn't even 20% through the game. Which is odd to say the least. My other biggest complaint is that the movement is overall really slow and clunky, though based on the trailer video it seems that is solved later on in the game once you get more powerups. Unfortunately It's impossible to make it to that point.

You play a jack, who is a jack of all trades, on a mission to save your world from the sinister Dr. Voo Doom who is trying to plunge it into a civil war. With the help of his special hat, he must race across Ririland and stop all those oppose peace, happiness and freedom. If you're looking for a retro platformer to scratch that nostalgic itch then look no further. This is solid game for the price and will challenge you from time to time. Make sure you are collecting everything to get 100% and find some secrets.

The story follows Jack, an unlikely hero whose quiet life is interrupted when the peaceful kingdom of Ririland falls into chaos. The villainous scientist Dr. Voo Doom has kidnapped Princess Riri and sparked conflict across the land, threatening the stability of the entire kingdom. Jack, originally just a repairman, becomes the unlikely savior of the realm after receiving a powerful tool from the brilliant scientist Dr. Expo Zicion. This invention, a magical hat that functions like a boomerang, becomes Jack’s signature weapon and the key to overcoming the many d…

Yeah this game is way too clunky for me to play. Alex Kidd was clunky too but they manage to make it work by balancing the boss fights. This one also has some sort of difficulty spike, which I dont mind but I dont think its casual friendly either. I hate how the bosses are able to move perfectly well when your own character can barely move properly. I would suggest just skipping this, I gave up on the 2nd boss fight and never really like how I have to be lucky to get what I need in order to damage the boss, along with attacks thats really difficult to dodge due to clunky controls. Not worth it imo.
