"I worried as I progressed through Jars that the game would start to become repetitive but what Mousetrap Games have done is add enough variety to keep things fresh and keep you constantly thinking about your next strategy. The increasing difficulty level is pitched perfectly and this is a fabulous example of how to do a puzzle and tower defense game to the very highest standard. Cutscenes are well-timed to provide a breather from the 2D puzzle action although the lack of touchscreen capability is a shame as this could have made the game even better. Overall this is a game that deserves its place in any gamers library."

About

Jawns is a strategy game that mixes the fast-paced action of checkers with the tactical depth of chess. Designed by Cipher Prime Studios, it's a digital board game where players compete online in five different modes. The core gameplay involves moving pieces to outmaneuver opponents, with each match feeling distinct due to the game's modular rules. Players can tweak settings to create custom variations, making every session feel fresh. What sets Jawns apart is its emphasis on customization. With over 1.5 million possible rule combinations, the game offers nearly endless replayability. The developers behind games like Superliminal bring a creative edge to this classic concept. While it has a small but dedicated following, its blend of simplicity and strategic depth appeals to fans of thoughtful gameplay. The availability on PC, Mac, and Linux makes it easy to jump into quick matches with friends.
