Should you play it?

Jet Gunner is a 2D platform action indie game that's full of Nestalgia. Full of action, gunfights, bosses and explosions so if you're into the whole 8-Bit vibe you should love this. From the sound, to the graphics to the flicker, this should pay tribute to those classic hard as nails, run 'n' gun games.

  • Authentic nes-style retro graphics and sound
  • Challenging and rewarding gameplay
  • Jetpack mechanic adds unique twist
  • Randomized weapons increase replayability
  • Affordable price with extra content

Things to keep in mind

  • Short main game length
  • Occasional control and input issues
  • Some weapons unbalanced or less useful
  • Enemies sometimes unfairly attack on spawn
  • Lack of controller remapping and limited support
