Saw this on the new releases page for 5$ and said "why not" Turns out it was a pretty good decision. It's a very simple game. Each level has basically the same objective. Bring back a set number of collectibles to the ship and then leave. Each level provides you with a weapon you also have to collect as it spawns randomly in the level most of the time. All of this to some pretty decent tunes. You have a jetpack with fuel that replenishes slowly when on the ground and 3 hit points. There are a few power up and gimmicks like a flying surfboard that has a flamethrower, a space worm that grows longer when it eats enemies or a UFO firing missiles for example. Those you can use yourself once you've killed the current owner I'd say the story mode took me around an hour, but that's because the real meat is in the arcade mode. The story mode gets you accustomed to most enemy types (I encountered unknown ones in arcade) and weapons at a reasonable pace. It also introduces the visual styles you will encounter in arcade mode. The arcade mode is where the sub title "the randomizer of doom" takes all its sense. Every level is entirely randomized. Random enemies, random weapon, random visual style, random ship, random power ups, etc. Sure, sometimes they clash with each other or the ranomizer makes level ludicrously hard but the designer didn't expect anyone to live for long in arcade mode. After all, the "retry" option is "die again". The game is not without issues. One frustrating thing you WILL encounter is that when hiting a sloped wall or a corner you might be VIOLENTLY catapulted in the oposite direction. often throwing you in enemies or hazards. It can be very upsetting especially in some of the hardest levels of the story mode. One other thing is the audio levels. I swear I've taken the "sound effect" option in the audio options as humanly low as possible and some weapons will still blow holes in my eardrums (looking at you 8 way shot) while others were reduced to a whisper. All in all a very quick to pick up retro looking game with a decent level of challenge, good music and a decent replay value for the price.

PIxel shooter + fun levels + music = Jet pack around the levels to clear monsters and collect fuel for the spaceship. Challenge bosses and get power ups. Controller friendly. [h1][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/35180752-3-point-play/] Follow our curator for similar games [/url][/h1]
2時間弱でクリア出来た。セールだと50円ぐらいまで下がるし、タイムを突き詰めたりノーデス目指したりとやりこみも可能に感じるいいゲーム。 アイテムを一定個数宇宙船まで運び、宇宙船に乗り込んだらステージクリア。単純なゲーム性ではあるものの、宇宙船が立ち寄る星（ステージ2-3個）ごとにギミックが異なるため、「次はどんなのだろう」と興味が湧いて進める事ができた。また、必ずしも後半になるにつれて難易度が上昇するわけではなく遊びやすい印象（ボタン配置は癖があるけど）。 キャラが大きめなので当たり判定が大きく感じるものの、ダメージを食らうと装甲がはげた分だけ当たり判定が小さくなる。シンプルではあるが何やら色々と考えられている印象。一部の敵は倒した後に使用できるが、この短めのゲームによくぞ詰め込んだなと感心させられる。 気になる点は2つ。1つはランダム性。他の人のレビューにもある通り、アイテムと敵の湧きが全てランダムに思える程度にランダム。湧く位置は固定であるもののどこに出るかは運次第。そのため、同じステージでも難易度が大きく変わる。とはいえ、1個取った後の無敵アイテムなんかは意図されているようで良い。 2つ目は地形判定。斜めからめり込むように接地した場合だと思うが、自キャラが大きく弾かれてしまう。この謎の動きでダメージを食らうことが不意に訪れるのでストレス。個人的にはアイテムのランダム性よりもこれが残念ポイント。 ナカナカクリアできない場合は、とりあえずダメージありきで1個目のアイテムを宇宙船まで運んでみるのがオススメ。ステージによってはこれで道がひらける。また、一部の敵は倒した後に使用できるが、明らかにクリアに有利になるので使うべき。 値段が安く手軽にプレイできるのでオススメ。
Very cool arcade shooter with retro aesthetics. Took about 1.5h for the story mode. Arcade mode has some replayability with randomized levels.
バルーンファイト風の操作で小さなマップからアイテムを回収するゲーム ゲームのランダム性が高すぎる上に、自機がとても大きく、正直言ってあまり良いゲームとは思えません しかし……何か気になるゲームです。このグラフィックによるものだと思うのですが ミニマルアートとしての質はかなり高く、そこに現代風の色使いが加わってかなりの存在感があります ステージごとの雰囲気もバリエーション豊かな割に、謎の統一感を醸し出していて 作家からは一定の評価を受けそうな作品だと感じました

In this video I take a look at JETBOY, an arcade shooter. This one is a well made challenging arcade shooter. You launch into arenas where you need to keep yourself alive until you get the pieces required back to your space ship one at a time, then a count down begins and you launch back into orbit to progress further into the game. I died during the count down on one level...aarrgg! As you progress you unlock more arenas with harder and harder odds. Every time you shoot a monster to stay alive it will respawn at a spawn point, you can see this in my first level where I just tried to kill them all to no avail before I saw the object sitting on the ground for the ship. I enjoyed the challenge, it's a "one more time" type of game. Take a look. Watch the video to see what the game is like... https://youtu.be/7LZds8sG6Mo Check'n Games Video Curation, providing you with as many Let's Play's as we can. Thanks for watching.

Been a while since I played, but I enjoyed it enough to persevere and finish it.
I've played a little bit at the moment and from what I've seen I totally recomend the game as it is quite cheap considering how fun and well done it feels ^^. Here you have some footage of the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jatgNT2R5dk
Amazing game. Given key for the game to try out and so grateful for it. This game has great music and also really amazing level designs. Perfect retro style game. 10-10 Will be posting content for the game on my youtube channel and social media. Check out The_casualgam3r on Tiktok, Instagram, Twitter, Youtube and Twitch.
