About Jack Move
Jack Move delivers a turn‑based Japanese‑style RPG wrapped in gritty cyberpunk storytelling and modern hi‑bit pixel art. Players follow Noa Solares, a vigilante hacker from Bright Town, as she rescues her kidnapped father from the mega‑corporation Monomind. The game features a single‑party turn‑based combat system where software on a Cyber Deck can be swapped mid‑battle, and hardware upgrades affect stats and software capacity. A 7‑10 hour campaign lets players explore Monocity One’s dungeons and confront street punks, corporate militia, and cyber‑experiments.

Turn‑Based Battle System
Combat uses a single‑party turn‑based system with animated sequences and tactical choices. Players select software each turn to balance offense, defense, and buffs, making software choice the key to victory. Battles occur both in physical locations and cyberspace, allowing the use of hacking software against foes ranging from gang members to corporate militia.
- Experiment with different software combos to discover effective offense‑defense balances.
- Watch enemy patterns to time defensive buffs for maximum impact.

Cyber Deck Software Customisation
Players can customise the software loaded onto Noa’s Cyber Deck, swapping roles mid‑battle. The software determines the character’s actions, allowing dynamic shifts between attacking, defending, and supporting. Loading different software also influences the strategic flow of each encounter, encouraging players to plan ahead for upcoming enemy types.
- Keep a balanced set of software ready to adapt to sudden enemy changes.
- Note which software provides the strongest buffs for later challenging fights.

Hardware Upgrades
Hardware upgrades raise Noa’s stats, expand the amount of software she can install, or grant extra abilities. Upgrades are applied to the Cyber Deck and affect overall combat performance. These upgrades provide a tangible way to strengthen the character beyond software choices, influencing both survivability and offensive potential.
- Prioritise upgrades that increase software slots if you favour versatile combat styles.
- Compare stat boosts from different upgrades to match your preferred playstyle.
