A Cat and a Jetpack

The jetpack factory makes lots of jetpacks, but you only get one. Choose the jetpack with attributes that you want.

Controls:
When walking, use arrow keys to move and jump
When using the jetpack, use the mouse to aim and thrust. Falling from high up or hitting walls at high speed will kill you.

The game is hard. You'll probably need to upgrade your jetpack factory a lot to beat the game.

Interesting game. Really difficult in the beginning to get upgrades. Played for about 10 mins and had like 2 coins.

Good use of the theme, the graphics were nice.

Fun game ahah

The upgrade screen is quite hard to read. It took me some time to figure out that I didn't have enough coins

Also, I can actually pick up the two jetpacks, that's not clear on what happens. Is the first one replaced by the second ?

Also, keyboard is quite useless, maybe using mouse only would have been better ?

Anyway, I enjoyed and laughed, so good job mate !

A little too difficult for my tastes, but I think it was what you were going for with the flight of the bumblebee raging in the background. The mechanic was very cool - I hope you make a slower version, as attacking enemies with jetpack flames is a great idea!

Kitteh nuuuuuuuu :( My cat's broken, he always likes to fall when high in the sky. Also I liked the music in combination with a lack of max velocity :p
