    Originally developed as a birthday gift for my nephew, Jackroid is a heartfelt indie game that blends classic action-platforming with Metroid-style exploration. After several requests and growing interest, I’ve decided to bring Jackroid to Steam. Free—as a thank you to everyone who’s supported me.
