May is National Bike Month so I am trying to focus on bike related information. Jbike is a movement tracker for bikes. My review of the Jacfit game’s Jbike device is there is no better video game on Amazon. I started using a Fitbit around the time I played World of Warcraft and other MMO games as long video games make you ache for fitness activities. Nintendo is the one video game company that was addressing this with Poke-walkers, Pokemon Go, and Fitness Boxing games. Most MMOs should have an app that syncs with step counters giving you in-game gold and healing potions in my opinion. I longed for a World of Fitness-craft step counter game. Many other people had this idea as I have seen many online versions emerge. Jackfit on Amazon is doing it the best to date with clear rip-off style segments of wolf pets, wendigo, yeti boxing bosses, and mummies that look rather like World of Warcraft game levels. The Yeti boxing boss looks like it was ripped completely from WoW games.
An eternal problem of repetitive activity is boredom. Without a group and feeling social it is hard to stick with it. My childhood asthma kept me from sports as a kid. Jackfit lets you be active with teams and clubs at your own pace at whatever time you are free. This is a great improvement from other old world methods.
Technically I review books and video games relating to books on my website. This game is not a change as many Jacfit levels mirror Pokemon Go as movements hatch eggs, train up pets, and gain food with healing. Pokemon has a long book and graphic novel line like “Pokemon Black and White” by Hidenoai Kusaka a favorite story of mine. Jacfit has a unique plot separate from Pokemon, yet has trainers, farms, eggs, and many quest battles in a similar style to Pokemon. To hatch eggs you must walk with eggs daily. Then with gold coins you win in game for movement you must buy seeds then plant them on the farm. Feed the grown seeds to pets to hatch them to adults. Exploration quests evolve pets to greater power.
One issue is Jacfit was made overseas by people who clearly speak English as a second language. It does not make the game unplayable. Yet when you win “You Has Win Day” may pop up on the screen in hilariously broken English. Man Google translate was not the friend of these guys. This only makes it more fun in my opinion. Peloton makes users pay thousands of dollars for a full team bike user experience, and Jacfit does the same thing for around 30 dollars in price. I now have brand loyalty to this super fun game, and will keep using it daily. May is National Bike Month and this game is a great way to celebrate using my bike more. #Bike, #BikeFitnessTracker #BikeGame, #NationalBikeMonth, #Hatch Jbike Jacfit Egg
