Was a cool game and I like the missile mechanic and the little uh, ducks!?. It would have been a good feature I think to have it so the jetpack had like a fuel level or like an overheat level so you only got so much flight in one go before having to wait for it to refuel. Also a few sound effects would obviously help! All in all though it was a fun little game!

cool game but i think it just need some little more précise animation
Everything felt simple and intuitive, and it was fun. I wish there was some kind of audio aside from the ambient noise, and since the robot is able to fly forever, it is fairly easy to just fly over enemies. I wish the game felt a bit better, but overall good effort for such a short amount of time.

Cool game! Simple and efficient :D Just some enemies are hard to kill because there is not enough time to shoot them horizontally. otherwise it's stable and i enjoy it! Thanks for your game!
It was a bit difficult to get into the game since it didn't give much feedback on what was going on. Sound effects, particles and other indications of getting damage and other events would have been appreciated. A good foundation that could turn in to a fun game with just a tiny bit of more polish.

It is an idea game for an LD event. It is simple and intuitive BUT FUN! What I loved the most was the jetpack feature. It was so much fun to fly around and use it against the opponents. It was so smooth and the psysics were well made. The only thing I was missing was probably some indication when you die, like a screen saying "You died" or something. But other than that, it was really fun.
I enjoyed the jetpack. Most games won't be so nice about how much you can use a jetpack. It did end up getting a bit repetitive as I went deeper.

well made game that is simple but controls well and had pretty satisfying mechanics. i like the music a lot. i felt like i should be able to aim the rocket where my mouse was though
Simple game but worked well. The music really helped the atmosphere, although I never really felt I was in danger because other than a few tight corridors you could use the jetpack to stay above the enemies - consider limiting the amount you can use? Good job overall.

The game was fun, it lacks some important feedbacks in my opinion like when you take damage. I had a good time palying it, I feel like there was a lot of indications that could make the game a better experience but overall it was fine !
It took me a sec to realize that you need to return to the drill after collecting all of the gems (my bad for not reading the instructions). After that it was a fun challenge to collect the gems in each level. Wonderful graphic and audio -- great job!
Really enjoyed it. One thing I would add is a cooldown to the missiles so that you can't spam them.
This was an enjoyable game. Nice controls and a bit challenging. Solid entry. :)
I know they don't play the same but this game gave me some Commander Keen vibes. I think it was due to the art style mixed with a simple collection core gameplay. The jetpack and drill led to a bit more personality in your game (2 layers of drills!) so that was a good touch. Like others said, I just sorta flew over most enemies so that took away the tension of the enemies. Probably a bit of a good thing since deaths were a bit painful.
Animations are good, I like the robot design, not sure what the enemies are supposed to be, evil banana? Would be nice instead of the background music just have shooting and drilling sounds. The music fits into more of a horror setting so doesn't really match the game. In terms of theme it doesn't fit too well. Overall good effort.
Nice job! Always enjoy a good jetpack and the shooting and drilling was fun

This was fun, I liked the graphics of the robot. The thing that made this game hard was that you could only shoot laterally. I wish there had been more audio. I liked the weird bug enemies.
I liked it! But sometimes i didnt know if my rocket hit the enemies and they just had too much health or if the rocket hadn't any effect at all. Some hit-feedback would have been nice.
I liked the enemies, not just patroling around, but charging the player. In summary a very nice game, I enjoyed it :)

Nice entry overall. The jetpack controls feel nice. I think using keys as alternatives for the mouse buttons might be a better experience for some. A few sounds in addition to the music will make this feel more polished.
Fun game and good idea for theme, I liked the background sound, it brings a spacey sci-fi horror movie feel to the game. I enjoyed the way you can dodge enemies when they dart after you to make them fall off the edge, good stuff.
