Wow, this is one hard game. I only got a score of 2500, but I plan on improving it.
The idea is perfect for quick little arcade sessions. I think lot of people will criticize the game because all 5 elements work the same way, but that added complexity wouldn't help the game at all. It's about efficiently switching between weapons and killing robots as fast as possible while trying not to die. The clock bonuses give you an incentive to actually explore the level rather than farm the spawn points, which is clever. The jetpack controls are flawless and I didn't see any bugs.
However, at the end of the day, you are a guy with a gun. This isn't your average shooter, but the weapon is still very conventional. It's a shame too, because I did enjoy the gameplay.

So much going on on the screen !
I'm impressed with the sprites you've made, they're nice. The game could have a stronger theme though. Well done with entering!

Definately has a certain Commander Keen vibe to it.

There's a certain era of 90s platformer, this game instantly reminds me of. The graphics, the FM-style music and gameplay could be from an obscure SNES game, which is a compliment :)
Game is quite punishingly hard, but the controls do work really well. The only thing I wish for really is that there would be more exploration as the jetpack mechanic is very suited for trying to find new things.
Very nice!

The controls were very smooth. I really like the weapon graphical effects but I just wish they behaved differently from each in some way. Overall very nice.

Hey Gametery ! tryed your game !
awesome entry. But it looks like you worked for "4 elements" theme. very solid entry all the way. gd job !
This is an interesting idea, but really hard. I like the jet pack.
The graphics sorta remind me of Commander Keen. :)
Pretty fun gameplay, but I liked the graphics best.
Played the web version (on Safari) and it worked pretty well. I liked the way you've played with the physics and the particle effects.
Good job
That little robot kick-ass Sir!
