    Jack N’ Jill DX offers quite a decent portion of content in return for its very generous asking price. I take issue with the game’s simplicity and its utter lack of difficulty, ultimately making for an adventure that can literally be completed with just one finger. However, with that being said and despite its repetition, its homage to the Game Boy era remains somewhat endearing throughout.

    I really enjoyed the minamilist approach they went with when it came to the visuals and sound design because it does give the game a certainI really enjoyed the minamilist approach they went with when it came to the visuals and sound design because it does give the game a certain charm. There’s a huge amount of levels for you to work through and I really enjoyed playing each level because there’s a decent amount of variety included.
    The mini games are a nice little feature because they give the game some replaybility and they do a good job of mixing up the usual gameplay. There isn’t a huge amount of depth to the gameplay I still really enjoyed it because only being able to use one button definitely gives the game some unique qualities. Technically the game suffers with no problems and this meant I never got frustrated during my time with the game. There isn’t much of a challenge present even when you get far into the game.
    Some sort of a story would’ve been nice because the character’s in the game are very charming and a story would’ve made them even more charming. I went into playing Jack N’ Jill DX with not very high expectations but what I got is something that surprised me a great deal and in the end it provided me with quite a lot of fun and enjoyment. It’s very minamilist in design and it doesn’t take long to get the hang of but for me that’s what made the game so charming and fun. In terms of content the game has a decent amount for you to be getting on with and it does offer some replaybility as well thanks to the mini games that are present. Technichally the game suffers with no problems and this does allow you to enjoy the unique gameplay more. The reason I said the gameplay is unique is because you only use one button and this works in its favour in my opinion. Thankfully the game doesn’t suffer with many problems at all and the only thing I would change is that I would make the game a little more challenging because it is quite easy. That being said it still didn’t stop me from having fun and when it’s all said and done Jack N’ Jill DX gets a solid thumbs up from me.    … Full Review »
