BIOFUEL by Ciaran54
WHICH VERSION TO PICK: If you have Java installed, you can use the 'system JRE' version, which has a smaller download. If you don't, you aren't sure, or you have any problems, use the 'Portable JRE' version. Enjoy ;)
EDIT: Fixed a typo that was causing people with different framerates to have different jetpack speeds. This was already present for all other movement other than jetpack movement. the lack for the jetpack was just a typo. hope this fixes some peoples issues! Enjoy ;)
An infinite vertical platformer with a jetpack that can only hold 10 seconds of fuel.
And you can throw eyeballs like there's no tomorrow!
Now with extra slurping noises and other mouth-made sound effects!
All content and code was made during the 48h (except the tiny bit of drawing code I posted first ;))
Hope you enjoy it ;)

haha amusing game, sound, graphics
controls/movement was good. I would have liked to have seen just the bad guys at the location, not being able to hit them while flying up was slightly annoying.
but good mix of everything
Nice one!
Took me a while to figure out the double jump for the jetpack, other than that the controls have been logical^^
I was a bit confused that you had to hit "enter" at the explanation screen - I mean the "empty" lines required an extra keypress^^
When it comes to the controls, I think I understand the idea you went with when it came to the jump/fly combination of spacebar. So that you could jump around the platforms to collect fuel without using any. Correct me if I'm wrong though :) At any rate, while the idea is good and seems simple, I actually felt they were awkward most of the time. It felt confusing to juggle between jumping and jump and then fly while having to focus on the other objective of the game, steering around plants, shooting them, etc.
I would've preferred autofire for the eyeballs instead of one per click, as it would take less mental and physical resource from the player and make the game feel more casual.
The acceleration of the jetpack was a tad too fast for me. The same maximum speed but a slower acceleration would have made it easier to control.
Overall great job!
but gets a bit annoying when you run out of fuel
I also plan to add more enemies, and change the generation of the map to something more considered than the pure randomness it is at the moment :P
Of course, these changes aren't in the version above, but thanks for the suggestions ;)
keep up the good work :)
Good game! =D
Score: 206.27000007629395, now that's a joke! 5 for Humor.
Is there an ending?
As others have said, the sounds deserve a special commendation.
Bouncing bullets was really helpful. :)
