Controls were a bit too slidey but the game was funny and the intro was really well done. I appreciated the checkpoints.

Liked the intro tunes! But no game music?
Nice game and difficult in a good way.
This game is brutal, Died. SO.MANY.Times! overall it is pretty fun, tho I did end up rage quitting after dying so many times :l
@Mutuware There wasn't enough time to make music that wasn't just a 30s loop. In a game like this I'd rather have no music than an irritatingly short loop.
Great game.
Cool artwork, nice story, challenging levels and awesome implementation of mechanics. This might be my opinion, but I thought that the levels were a bit too hard, so it kind of felt annoying to play after a couple of minutes. But overall, this is a terrific game!
Excellent! (except for the jump sound, which gets annoying very quickly) The levels are quite good (I liked the non-linearish way you connected the rooms), and the graphics are beautiful. As soon as I finish writing this comment, I'm going to resume playing this game, which is as hard as it's addictive!
Funny. Reminds me of I want to be the guy
Really cool game! Very nice, big world, cool graphics, very cool music and sounds (I hear sfxr sound effects).
I love the animations, the title screen is awesome and the intro - man that is really impressive for 48 hours! And the effect that the guy shrinks into the backgrond :-)
Very solid game, only thing I don't know is how to open those doors, do I need to find anything first?
Nice! It was a lot more complex than I expected. The challenges are really well-designed and crafted. It's definitely for someone who loves strategy games, because you could spent quite some time trying to figure out all the puzzles :P Good job.
Cool game. I found the jump controls themselves to be a bit annoying.They were obviously coded that pushing space while in the air would activate the jetpack, but in the two tile high corridors, a jump happens so quickly that I often ended up falling down through the hole and getting killed by the sliding spike thing. Died over and over. Also was having trouble getting the doors to open. I got the key that I could get to (the green one?), but it did not open the green door when I went to it.
Great concept, though, and I loved the graphics. Too bad that you did not have enough time for more music.
FYI, I only saw the jetpack bug once while playing the web version.
Challenging game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 39 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AUyAsiiWQQ
I suck so badly at playing this game, but it's reminiscent of Super Meat Boy in terms of gameplay and Commander Keen in terms of looks. The levels seem to be very well thought out, and I always felt that when I died it was my fault. All it needs is a jolly 16-bit tune and it'll be good to go.
The graphics and audio seem really nice. What makes it more interesting is the level of challenge this game provides. The animations make it more visually appealing. Really nice work within 48 hrs👍
I liked it, controls were tight, but it was really hard. I got to the food lab, and was working on the moving platform to get the green key, then I tabbed out and accidentally closed the game :( I restarted then found out I had to start from the beginning then rage quit. I really wanted to finish the game and see the ending, and that just shows how good this game was.
Great game ! Hard but I liked it, and the style is really cool too :D
Good job !
Not really my kind of game, but the level design and difficulty is what we can expect for it.
Great game, had fun playing it. Like the difficulty of the game. I did manage to find a bug inside the tower though where you can go through the wall. Bug.gif
Those smashing blocks are so fast you can clip through walls!

The only complaint I have is the corridors that are just as tall as your character, since you often have to jetpack over spikes, and for that you have to jump, but the ceiling is as tall as the character...
Having said that, I found the respawns fast and the checkpoint frequent so that the game feels challenging-ly hard, but neither punishing nor unfair.
@Xerouss @agecaf Glad someone found that. I left it in on purpose. There's one place later where you can do it too for a bit of a skip. Since you can never go up with it (only horizontal and down, if you jump) I felt it was a safe enough bug to keep in :)
Even if I give up (for now... damn spikes!), I have to admit that this one is my favorite so far. Very nice game.
well done, this is a really fun game. wanted to smash my head against my desk after playing it after all my deaths.
Nice platformer introducing the jetpack. In my opinion the character style is a bit different from the level, but everything else is so good. There's a level that I can't go through cuz I don't see the exit. Good entry!
Very good game, the art was what I liked the most, it is really well made, the sprites, the sprites movimentation, the background, the tiles, everything looks, so good, the sounds are not great, but the good gameplay and cool story makes this game really good, its impressive see a game like this in a compo, great job !
Really well done game, but incredibly frustrating! Sometimes unfairly so, requiring the player to make a series of frame-perfect jumps without failing otherwise they have to restart the whole room again (the room with the blue card being my biggest gripe with this).
No music and annoying sound effects are a bummer, but don't detract much from the experience.
Still, very well made! I would just make the character walk less stiffly...
It got a bit too "I wanna be the guy" for me with all the spikes and traps and reloads and all, but this is a very impressive entry. Good work.
Good entry, very challenging for me ^^ So many "hard" traps ^^
Graphics are good, sound too except the jump sound. Fun to play, good compo entry :)
Go Jetpack June! This is a great compo entry!
The controls are a touch frustrating. I feel like you should just be able to hold down for the jetpack (not re-tap), but I think that challenge was what you were going for anyway. Really nice work!
Very hardcore. Very.
Whoosh!
It's a bit too hard for me, but it's very competently done.
Liked the graphics and humor, but it's way to hard for me too beat: only managed to get into the tower.
