Fun game. I was pretty quickly able to get the top time-trial score. It's a little hard to tell if you're going fast enough to destroy things.

Very fun game. Love the graphics. Going to be playing this one again :)

Movement is very fun, but escaping enemy fire is pretty much impossible because of how fast you move. Overall pretty frantic and fun game. I especially like the main menu.

Fun game! It would be cool if there were a sound or distinct graphical change to show a top "chain-breaking" speed. I liked it a lot!

Interesting idea, but difficult to understand what to do at the beggining)Nice work!

Yeah I agree with Chris about the fast enough comment. Maybe have the camera further away. Rope physics ... cats ... space ... weird :)

Love the concept! Great music and nice graphics. :)

A really enjoyable game! Although being able to take at least a couple of hits before dying would have been appreciated :)

The multiple options to play the game are nice.

Nice game, congrats!

this was actually a lot of fun! i love how you incorporated the selection screen with the actual game. nice job!

Cool! I ended up staring at the minimap the entire time, so I could see far enough to head-butt the ships.

Played with a xbox controller and I was pleased with the controls. Well used the theme also. However, the one hit kills were too much because I could die from a random laser while flying fast.

Innovative and super fun mechanics. This is a game I want to spend some extra time playing. Great Job.

Nice idea!

Fun to control the little space dude. Main menu is interesting but gets a bit old when trying to play again...

Good job!

I would have liked an ability with a cooldown to boost my velocity high enough to destroy a ship. It would give you something to manage besides your direction and provide a good way to get going again if you get stopped. (Could use space?)

Beautiful particle effect work and character. Maybe use smoothing groups on the planets? That stood out to me.

Good sound work.

Hi there. Fun jetpac. Like the sounds and the music. Opened some alien/robot crates and got zapped. Feels like a physics toy so far, rather than a game. Good job!

crocantidepollo 2014-08-31 18:44

It's a fun game! It'd be great if it was a wrap around universe.

spotco 2014-09-01 20:01

Really impressive graphics, and flying around on the jetpack "felt" nice!

Controls were definitely frustrating, especially needing to hit an arbitrary speed in order to break stuff. Lasers seemed pretty arbitrary insta-death too.

zerkruemler 2014-09-01 20:22

Solid implementation. Funny idea. The sound is cool, but the music a bit boring. It is pretty random if you are hit by the enemy since it is nearly impossible to dodge the fast shoots with the slow control.
Well done. I enjoyed it.

albertosm 2014-09-01 20:48

Nice concept, yet confusing! By constantly switching my focus between the mini map and the main screen, I usually get lost...

liquidminduk 2014-09-02 12:16

insta death is a little harsh, but great game overall

01101101 2014-09-02 15:57

Nice to play. Good job! We were talking about this kind of stuff too, but we changed at last because we thought it was too difficult... Glad to see someone did it!

heychinaski 2014-09-06 20:11

A lot of fun! Great job.

merlijnvh 2014-09-12 20:31

Nice entry, loved the concept!

davisan 2014-09-14 23:24

Nice action game. Very fun! More hit points/life would be great!

mcapraro 2014-09-15 05:19

neat concept
