Junk Jack X IOS vs Junk Jack PC?

[FireFlight]

Is there a difference between the IOS version and the PC besides the controles? Are there going to be features avialable only for PC users in the near future or is it all going to be the same?

PC will get a lot more stuff for being three times the price.

Does this mean the wiki will also have a 3rd catagory or the newer content can just be added to Junk Jack X wiki pages?

Most likely

I believe as soon as humanly possible, since all the coding is handled by a single person.
All things considered, I think he did an amazing job flying solo.

Current differences in the game:
-Bugs the iOS version does not have or has already resolved multiple versions ago (yay! but seriously, it's Early Access, this is normal)

-the map is bigger and more usable than the iOS version. You can drag it around and orientate yourself. Good to check for portal chests or how far you are from the edges of the world

-free movement instead of tile-/block-based. This is definitely better

-different battle system. It's not tap-based anymore, every weapon has a swing animation and you can attack only as fast as your weapon allows (instead of spamming the attack button)

-you can build directly from your inventory and don't have to place it in your hotbar

-Health bars for enemies. This is really cool, it helps you to check how strong your current weapon is against the current enemy

-craft book pages drop only from crates and chests, not from every block anymore. I don't understand why but it is this way now. Also you have no option to buy in to get a complete one. But since the crafting recipes are the same this is not much of a big deal, just check the wiki or your mobile phone

-keys have different recipe. This seems to be the only exception and because of this they weren't craftable in the beginning of the release (or maybe the change was because the old recipe didn't work for some reason? Who knows). It's no an "Y" made of bars (don't confuse this with ingots).

-bronze has finally some uses. You can make tools and some weapons from it, has the same strength as iron tools.

-you can jump two blocks high instead of one.

-this is just my feeling but I think the drop rate of rarer items is also higher on the pc version.

-collection book that tracks down all the different blocks, plants and other stuff you have placed int he world. Tracks also all your cooked recipes. Hopefully this gets expanded to track found treasures as well


I think this was all, I hope this helps. Currently there aren't any big features that make the two games different, they are basically the same. However they made a lot of small improvements that make the game more comfortable to play.
