I used to love Jacksmith. It was one of my favourite flash games. A real classic. So, I immediately bought it when it showed up here, to support the devs. Basically all that's been changed is that it's now running locally pretty decently, and in fullscreen. They have, however, removed male models, put in female ones, all-female "warriors," and some mixed. Somehow, this is supposed to be a positive addition (and removal) though I personally don't see it. Instead of adding mechanics, smoothing things out, refining the game, adding content, they decided that an aesthetic "correction" was the only thing that was necessary. One that infringes on the original design, as well as general logic. From the devs' blog: "Hey Everyone! As some of you may have spotted in the trailer, our warrior lineup’s gotten a bit of a shake-up. It’s something we’ve felt was missing ever since the web game was first launched—but now we’re excited to announce that women warriors are officially joining the battle! Some clans, like the Cluckshire Brood and the Pigarius Legion, will now feature a mix of male and female fighters. Others, like the Oxdin Herd and the Capriloch Clan, will remain all-male. On the flip side, the Martello Flock and the Meadowguard have gone fully female!" The implication here is that the original version was lacking. Not necessarily creatively, but ideologically. As a correction, not an addition. Why? It doesn't add anything. It revises it. And removes models that were present. The devs claim this change is about something that was supposedly "missing" from the original. So we're supposed to believe this was a creative decision, when they've actively replaced some original models. It's completely disingenuous nonsense, that panders to a certain subset of fashionable ideologies. It's shallow and unnecessary. I’ve chosen to refund the game. Not out of spite, but because I don’t support rewriting finished works to quietly score ideological points or secure future funding from organizations that reward conformity over creativity. If you're going to supposedly "remaster" and relaunch something, then stay true to the original and add things. Instead of removing them under the promotional guise of progress or improvements. The game's still there. And I don't suppose most people will mind or perhaps even notice. So buy it if you feel like this doesn't matter. It's essentially still the same, mechanically speaking.

I FINALLY GET TO JACK OFF ONCE AGAIN BABY!!!

Dont understand how gameplay loop is fun, there is no real skill, gets boring and repetitive fast, more of a mobile game

Sexsmith: Dildos and Strap-ons

I WANT MORE. please bring more games to steam. i want them all. cupcakeria and donuteria next would be nice. I dont care how much they cost i will buy them no matter what.

Oh Jacksmith, where do I start.... Jacksmith was one of those unforgettable flash games you'd play on a school computer (Instead of doing your work) You play as a donkey blacksmith, crafting weapons like swords and bows for your team of warriors (Don't think I ever got passed the axe as a kid) You don’t join the fight yourself—you build the gear that helps them win. It was creative, fun, and surprisingly addictive. Now, Jacksmith is back with a fresh remake on Steam (Hallelujah!) This new version keeps the charm of the original but looks better and runs smoother. The crafting is still satisfying, the characters are still fun, and it brings back all those good memories from the browser game days. Whether you played it years ago or are trying it for the first time, Jacksmith is still a great time. Rating: 10/10 – A simple, charming game that’s just as fun now as it was back then. I'm also still patiently waiting for Papa's Pancakeria, because that's where the real gaming happens.....

who's up smithing their jack, or something

you wont believe the exitement i felt when i saw this game, my child hood has come back and its even better now. I highly recomend playing this game

Its exactly like how you remember it, except, nothing changed. Maybe some character models were replaced, and some indicators were added, but overall, exactly the same Edit: changed my review to negative when I noticed someone calling out the devs for scoring easy political points. Apparently, they replaced some characters models with females ones. Normally, idgaf, but apparently, the devs thought it was important enough to invest time/money into and then post about it like its some massive achievement that NEEDED to be done 😭 Why cant updates just be more content, and not just pandering? (im gonna allow comments so you can see the mushy-brain folk cry about misogyny/bigot/buzzword in the comments. They're such easy prey that its no wonder why the devs made that change for the PC points 😂)

Whole squad got stomped by a fucking plant because I poured the molten lava slightly faster than usual. Peak gaming experience

Thank you Flipline for bringing us another masterpiece of a game onto Steam for us to play! We truly have become Smiths, Jack...

Even better than it was in computer lab at school

I played several years ago in high school instead of doing my work

While it's no Jacksmith 2, which we've been begging for for years, this remaster is more than satisfying. The original Jacksmith didn't need much improving upon, the upgraded visuals and addition of girl warriors is good enough for me. Now, excuse me while I angrily assemble a crooked pike and yell at the clouds for my lack of spatial awareness.

music slaps me in the face and then spits me out slowly so i don't spill

Magnificent, just as good as it was on school computers

You're as Beautiful as the day I lost you

The best game i ever wasted my education on. Hands down the biggest time waster for my elementary/middle school years, finally in a format i can finish a save file on. play it.

just gooning to princess liliana

Im jacking my smith till I weapons and warriors

I was already an adult when this game came out, but I loved it. I never gave up trying to find a sequel or someone ripping it off, but came up empty handed. When I saw the store page I thought I was either having a stroke or dreaming. But Jacksmith is back, and it is good. And for some reason no one has ever attempted to copy it.

There are furries in it, so its instanly epic, other than that its nice to have game which i used to play all the time as a kid on flash player get ported into steam :3

Quite entertaining but should have been called Papa's Blacksmitheria

I love donkey game!

Final Verdict: 90/100

Great: 85–90 A memorable and enjoyable experience that stands out. While not perfect, it delivers consistent fun and charm. Highly recommended – ✔✔
