The premise, in the publisher's words
You are Zack. Zack’s just a regular kid. Juggle balls with unique properties through platforming puzzles to a goal at the end of each stage. Help Zack fill his treasured book of stickers to unlock new characters and optional challenge levels, where you race against the timer to destroy targets as fast as possible.

It is played from a side view perspective. Its themes are action. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. There are 27 achievements to unlock.
How it was received
HackyZack holds a critic score of 75 out of 100. That places it above 49% of the 7,525 rated adventure games in our database, which average 72. Games released in 2017 averaged 71, so it scored 4 points above the year average.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for 2 GHz, 1 GB RAM and 512 MB VRAM. At 1GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
HackyZack launched on 28 March 2017, within three weeks of Mass Effect: Andromeda, Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition, Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition and Zero Escape: The Nonary Games. It reviewed better than 1 of the 4. It arrived 4 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Mass Effect: Andromeda, Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition, Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition, Zero Escape: The Nonary Games.
