"Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail." This is the true meaning in parkour as well as in FreeJack. All you need to do is to look beyond the traditional use of objects and run freely, regardless of the many public structures like walls, fences, trees, buildings and rails.

Each character has his or her own attribute, from which you are able to choose agility, technique, toughness and speed according to your preference. What’s more, you can upgrade your character with ability cards to give them an edge on the competition.

The abundant systems make you satisfy with its interaction with both your friends and rivals.
