A Retro-Inspired Sci-Fi Platformer Adventure — Now Free on Steam

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—for free—as a thank you to everyone who’s supported my game dev journey. This is the first game that I built after quitting PCL work (aka automation) seven years ago. 

About the Game

Play as Jackroid—the first machine-human hybrid built for deep space exploration. Journey across mysterious galaxies and uncharted planets in search of your identity and purpose. Along the way, uncover hidden upgrades, solve environmental puzzles, and fight to protect the future of the human race.

  Originally made for my nephew's 11th birthday—this is more than just a game, it’s a memory brought to life.

• Part of the Goliath Corp franchise with upcoming games "Jaws of Hell" and "The Hive Pandemic"

• Controls:

  Arrow keys,

  Z - Jump/Select,

  X - Shoot

  C - Rocket (You must first get the rocket upgrade, see the tailer)

  V - Shrink

  Enter - Map

Why Free?

Jackroid was developed 6 years ago, and while I’ve lost the most recent development build to a house fire, I want to keep the game alive and share it with more people. Until I rebuild it or release Jackroid 2, this game will remain free on Steam. Thanks for being part of this creative journey.

If you want to support me please check out my games on Steam! Like "Path of the Ory," and "Maid of Venia." 

"The Hive Pandemic" will be coming out late this year or early next and is set in the same universe as Jackroid.
