Jack Move is a turn-based RPG set in the future where megacorporations have replaced governments, and every one and their dog is into cyber hacking. Your character is Noa up against the evil Monomind corporation, the plot may be simple and 2D but this is a cheerful RPG-lite game.
Well done pixel graphics, in some places hard to tell where you can get to. Totally keyboard controlled which works alright though fiddly moving diagonally. The bouncy arcade music accompanies you as you face the random JRPG battles. Jack Move isn't a difficult game, it's easy enough to grind so your character is more than strong enough for the final endgame, and there isn't real replayability.
The software and hardware components you buy or find replace the spells and enchanted items in a traditional RPG. Imaginative fun within its restricted bounds, and Noa gives a cheerful victory sign each time you win.
