JETBOY

Largely pretty fun, it's a platform shooter with guns that fire as fast as you can push the button, which I appreciate. The problems I had with this game are twofold; the first being that your jetpack replenishes quite slowly, which is a nuisance but ultimately fine, and the second being the collisions. You'll be jumping through a level and suddenly get bounced into the enemies which are flowing around the stage. It's not a problem in most stages, but unfortunately in the stages where it is a problem, it's a massive problem.

Just getting into the point where things get all Lovecraft-ey. I hope this keeps up, because I'm really enjoying having my tail handed to me repeatedly by anything and everything (and a lot of everything) on screen, only for a moment to open up where I turn the tables and progress right into... getting hopelessly stuck on the next level, until it, too, passes. Feel like the 'hints' yo-yo back and forth between patently obvious and unnecessarily unclear, though that's not in itself enough to flip my assessment away from very enthusiastic recommendation.

Looks good on screenshots but there is awful enemy spam with jerky unpredictable movement, unavoidable attacks, random spawns inside your hitbox (???), sloppy heavy controls. And the tags are wrong too, this is a dirt simple single-screen shooter. Props for the pixel art I guess. I recommend it to take screenshots and listen to the soundtrack.
