Jetpack description

Classic arcade games, where you have to play for a conditional "traveler" with the jetpack, which he can jump high and even a little fly, and laser, collecting green crystals in the caves levels. The goal is to collect all the crystals on the level and find the way forward. Keep in mind that jetpack is not immediately at all levels, sometimes it must first be "extracted".

The jetpack consumes fuel, so you need to look for special bonuses for its replenishment. Other bonuses include a freeze the charges (for the enemy) and temporary invincibility. Laser also, oddly enough, enemies to inflict harm can not, it is only designed for cutting through holes in walls that you may need to go to the next level; sometimes this can be done only after finding and pressing a button or lever.

The movement is not always smooth, are encountered as obstacles (ice, grass), and "lightweight" sections (ladders, teleporters). Often the main task is to successfully hop through dzhetpaka by columns, between which – the sharp stones. Enemies in the game can not kill, the main threat are not even animate enemies, and various traps. Each type of monster has its own type of behavior (mainly in terms of movement).

Initially, the game a hundred levels, a built-in editor. Schedule for 1993, I'm sure many will seem too outdated and minimalistic, but it is what it is, in my opinion – not bad. Verdict – a classic, if not gold, so it is recommended to educate all lovers of the old "smart" of platfomer.
