Pretty fun!
Jetpack in the title and it being a 2D side scroller had me expecting something like Jetpack Joyride, and to your credit it really isn't.

Really neat game. The bouncing geometry gave it a fluid feeling unlike a lot of other runners where stuff just disappears.

Although I didn't really notice a marked increase in difficulty I was up to a good 100,000 points and full shield and powerups all over, so I could probably play forever.

the game is challenging to play and has a particular original style for a shoot em up
are the levels random generated? if so, very cool!

Fun entry! The shifting background is a nice touch, the level design and enemies are awesome. Sound would make this game. Nice job!

Cool game, fun and dynamic. Style jetpack joyride liked, good job.

Nice concept and good visuals. It would be great to have some sound effects though.

That was neat.
Too bad it had not sound.

Would have been a lot more fun if power ups stacked, like getting a triple rapid fire homing missile.

Also I would have preferred the standard shot to be perfectly straight instead of having such a large stray.

Would prefer to play this two-handed, but otherwise a fun side scroller. I loved the power ups.

I really liked getting different powerups. The homing missles were my favorite, the starter gun seemed unhelpful. Some basic bfxr sounds would bring it to life better.

Physics on enemies was neat. This was much much easier than I was initially expecting from the first minute or so due to plentiful powerful powerups. I had a good time though. =)

There was a fun core here but I felt the lack of sound effects and a visible jetpack. I enjoyed the crazy background and the icon-style graphics, though. Nice touch clearly showing when I got hit, and the skull is a cool tradeoff.

This is incredibly hard. But it gets addictive after some time. I wish the weapon was a bit more powerful, or had more spread…

Simple and fun, I like it. The background plasma like effect is very cool

Fun shooter! It did run very slowly on my machine though which mars my experience. Must be the backgrounds. I like the randomly generated level. I think a different die animation for the enemies would make killing them more satisfying.

A bit easy but it's a very interesting take on a side scrolling shooter.

juaxix 2015-12-27 16:56

Good job with the movements!, controls are hard though.

Final score: 81,925.

This game is FUN. Needs audio and fleshing out, but boy what a blast to play.

loneshark 2015-12-28 06:53

Score: 55,025 (can definitely do better, though)

I love the power-ups and the game play, but it feels kind of empty without sound. Oh, wait! Just run this in another tab... =)

Very fun but it's hard to play in the first time. Great idea for using theme two buttons ;). Nice work

voider 2016-01-04 23:43

the difficulty curve is great and the powerups add a lot of value to the game!
