Jumpjet description

In this dynamic arcade action game the player will act as a pilot of well-known Western combat aircraft Harrier.

Combat craft will have to practice being alone, abandoned in enemy territory where the enemy owns the sky and the ground. Any story is missing, but it's safe to assume that the protagonist is clearly annoy the authorities so much that they became even is not a pity to lose an expensive car, sending him on a suicide mission. Although everything seemed to be different: we are ordered to shoot down three enemy bombers, to work out a few ground targets, to bring down the number of interceptors... a Rat begin to suspect only then, when all of a sudden comes the realization that the chain of assignments is infinite and the only goal is to sell his life as dearly as possible.

You can fly left and right, simultaneously moving on the vertical axis, and to survive, you need to fire at the enemy, Dodge and generally avoid collisions with anything, as any contact with a projectile or other lethal object. In that case, if a plane is hit in the air, it dies immediately, but lights up and may be on the trajectory of the fall and tucked to bring down the enemy or to catch it in a massive explosion in the fall.

The variety of villains is very large, we can split them into three groups: air, land and stationary. But graphics: the combat system involves not only the fight with a tight counter fire, but also the possibility of the appearance of the enemy in the rear, opposite to the direction of movement of the edge of the screen that will always be an unpleasant surprise.

Graphics, unfortunately, quite symbolic, perhaps depressing, very poor backgrounds. The main decorations are only indicated by a line of mountains and occasionally come across low-growing palm. But if the player had time to look at such nuances, so his battle is over, the plane is on fire and is expected to start new attempts.

Having interesting gameplay Jumpjet has no plot, no broken mission campaign that would make the project much more solid, despite the shareware origin. But apparently the author decided that it would be a jump above the head, so we went to what is got: good entertainment for the evening-another.
