About
An intense, arcade-style, shooter in which you must master a vast array of ridiculous weaponry in order to defeat a race of evil aliens who are intent on abducting innocent civilians and turning them into mutants. Jetboard Joust blends the spirit and intensity of 1980s arcade coin-op SMHUPs with the replayability and tactical elements of hardcore modern roguelikes. Don't expect a story. Do expect frantic, fluid, fast-paced 60fps action, big guns, and explosions!
The Jetboard: Leap from your jetboard like a boss to gain temporary invincibility and smash your enemies to smithereens. Destroy pretty much everything in your path. You rock.
The Enemies: Over fifty different enemies to outwit. Be prepared for them to come at you with all the game's weapons plus their own special attacks. Watch out for a few tributes to classic arcade games of the past too...
The Weapons: From the conventional to the ridiculous! Jetboard Joust offers over thirty powerful weapons, each with its own distinct advantages and upgrade path, to aid you on your mission and leave a path of total destruction in your wake. Get up close and dish out massive damage with the shotgun, wreak havoc with the cluster bomb, fry enemies to a crisp with the flame tornado or shock them into submission with the lightning bolt. You'll get a different selection of weapons with each playthrough and you'll need to master them all!
The Bosses: Defeat huge bosses in a series of grueling multi-stage battles and then steal their attacks for your own use. Rendered in exquisite pixel-art detail, these guys will test your weapon-handling and evasive maneuvering to their limits.
The Planets: Choose your own path through a multitude of battlegrounds across the surface of five different planets. Discover hidden treasure, upgrades and awesome new weapons. Adapt your route based on your playstyle, the weapons you unlock and the treasure you discover. Plunder cash from fallen enemies and use it to pimp up your jetboard, jetsuit and max out your weapons for a formidable arsenal. Are you up to the challenge?

Strange game. Plays similar to defender.
Fun game to just pick up and play. Its a must grab for quick fun if it's on sale. I'm a casual gamer and this was casual enough with some twists and turns that a more serious gamer could appreciate.
Game is on 90% off, for the price the little content is fine, Just be aware this is not a horizontally scrolling game, you’ll revisit the same areas and fight the same enemies over and over. Ammo is limited, gems you collected barely cover upgrades. That said, the pixel art looks great. I beat the wasp boss in an hour and then uninstalled it.
7分,出其意料有点意思的复古风小众街机游戏 优点:1.8的key,射击手感音效很爽,武器丰富 缺点:体验单调,全程都是战斗爽,一把下来五个世界打完要三小时,没有重复可玩性 推荐玩法:CE改金币全部装备升级(其实分值也能改)
Defender 2 нового поколения
This game should'nt be played, not by you. There exist 4 world, and 4 Bosses. I have completed 2.5 Worlds, The enemies have some/mid levels of variety, but they are not the concern, even tho they are basically same with occasional different enemies coming up. The Levels are all the same in their layout, YES THEY ARE THE SAME, EVEN BACKGROUNDS, but that is not the concern, The Colour schemes can sometimes be stunning and other times eye cancer, but that is not the concern (by the way the layout/map/background issame but their colours are changed along with enemies on different places) The main concern, Is the gameplay: You use a hover board to move around the map and defeat enemies, but it doesn't work, since it is more like a jettpack joyrider style gameplay but you can go in different directions and different speeds, its not meant for so much flexibility. The gameplay works best when the game itself plays (accidentally) on 10-15 seconds, like a top down arcade space ship game (yaknow the ones), this game couldn't have been a great game, its visuals, sound design, enemies are pretty good. BUt they do not compliment the gameplay this game goes for This game is over 3 years old, updates won't come, this is indeed enjoyable in the end saved by its great aspects, but no, I cannot recommend it, there are just far better games, albeit no alternatives to this uniquenss that i have seen.
