The WhatsNext verdict
Jack N' Jill DX is a likable, compact one-button platformer with a strong Game Boy-inspired identity. Play it for precise obstacle timing and quick handheld-sized challenges, not for deep systems or variety.
What it does best
One-button platforming with precise timing
A satisfying platformer for quick bursts
A charming monochrome Game Boy throwback
What might put you off
Trial-and-error later levels
Repetitive and grating audio

The setup
What you are walking into
In Jack N' Jill DX, players must assume the role of Jack, overcoming many hazards, in a bid to reach Jill, who awaits him at the end of 140 levels, in typical old-school one-button platformer fashion! But, for the players who feel the guy should be the one who needs saving, we absolutely agree and that's why Jill is available as a playable character as well! All you need to do, to play as her, is swap the graphics and hey presto, the change is complete.
