Entwickler Pixbits hat sein beliebtes und im AppStore mit im Schnitt 4,5 Sternen sehr gut bewertetes Sandbox-Game Junk Jack -l9236- am gestrigen Sonntag mit einem neuen Halloween-Update versehen. Wie bei diesem Spiel schon gewohnt, ist die Liste der Neuerungen wieder sehr lang (siehe unten). Neben zahlreichen Verbesserungen und Erweiterungen gibt es eine einigen neuen Halloween-Content wie Kürbisse, Statuen, Monster und Waffen.
