    Junk Jack experiments with OSX 

    Hey, we would like to share an experiment we did while working on the iPad version of Junk Jack. This is a native Mac OS X application, the game is actually running as a desktop application.. having a big screen instead that one of a mobile platform finally allows Junk Jack to have the viewport it deserves :)

    Image

    What does it mean? Nothing for now, but maybe in the future we’ll see a Junk Jack version for PC and OS X! Who knows..
