Best pixelated time trial dinosaur game ever made for sure this time.

A fun little game mostly based around the precise movement of a cute (and customizable) dinosaur with rocket boots. You have to touch, or shoot at, all the rings in a level and then reach the exit. Doing this without dying, and doing it in under a (quite reasonable) par time gains you extra recognition in the form of Stars marking your completion of the main game objectives.

The final stage aside (trial-and-error is not good game design, guys)t the game is relatively forgiving; I beat it on Normal with all 129 stars and hidden items after about 10 hours (so its $9.99 price tag is fully justified) but if you like to 100% games there's way more left to do after that. It would also be a good game to speedrun, as there's almost no randomness at all (enemies either follow fixed global-timer paths or move based on how you move) and it's reliant on your execution.

Fun game, I enjoyed it a lot I mean a lot. The reason why I liked the game is that it's quick and it's based on skills and experience. I mean if you want to be good at this game you have to dedicate your time and play for hours. But the thing is some games can be very frustrating while doing all the missions and side mission etc. but JumpJet Rex is actually pushes you further by giving you the joy and the excitement you are looking for. So basically what I am sayig is that the game is not tedious and boring. If you like challenging, retro-looking games and maybe dinosaurs, you should definitely check this game. Recommended !

JumpJet Rex is a very challenging 2D platformer that stays true to video game classics with its music, gameplay, and visuals. You are the Earth's first Dinonaut and you recieve an urgent call telling you that a meteor is heading to Earth. You must go back home to save your planet.


Through my playthrough I have used a controller. The levels are well designed. However, I have run into a few bugs that ruined my experience. The bug I found was on the first boss fight where I would glitch into the boss and be stuck, or glitch under the map and be stuck.
The levels are challenging and fun and the music is amazing. After I beat the first boss, I saw a difficulty curve appear as levels get much harder to beat.
Through the game you can collect $$$ to buy customization items for your dinosaur. You will be able to play the game for hours upon hours. This game is one that will cause rage in certain levels. Throughout the game there are collectibles hidden throughout the map which you can find and they will be added to your room.


Consider buying this if:
- you like the classic feel with videogames
- you like 2D platformers
- you like a challenge

Consider not buying this if:
- you do not like rage games
- you hate dying (most likely you will die a lot)
- you hate pixelated games or 2D platformers


Pros
+ many hours of gameplay
+ customization
+ music is very well done
+ gives an authentic classic feel
+ difficult and a challenge
+ many collectibles
+ dino basketball

Cons
- may glitch
- may have random lag spikes ( it did for me at random moments within this game)
- huge difficulty curve
- may become slightly repetitive
- only local co-op


JumpJet Rex is an amazing game with a magnificent soundtrack and a perfect old-school feel. The huge difficulty curve is annoying and you sometimes will run into bumps. However, overall as a game I am impressed with JumpJet Rex and am happy to have played it.

This game is RAD.
I'm not the kind of person that likes to play platformers - I usually get bored and frustrated by them really quickly. This, however, is GREAT. It's like Super Meat Boy met Flappy Bird and gave birth to a dinosaur with jetpacks on his feet. "Eww, Flappy Bird! That game is soooo stooooopid!" You may or may not have just said. "That also came out in 2013!! Are you stuck in the past, grandma?!" Haha okay there buddy, but seriously, hear me out!
In my first dive in I found that the game was very easy to pick up; the controls were very responsive and so easy to grasp that within minutes I was literally flying through the levels like I was DINO-PETER PAN! It feels like its at the right speed too - not too slow to make it feel clunky, and not too fast to make it overwhelming.
The art style is super cute - I just love my lil' Rex with his lil' cyborg eyepatch - did I mention you can dress up and customize Rex? Yeah, you can DO THAT. And it's AWESOME. I may be just biased though because I'm a GIRL. Who sometimes plays into GENDER STEREOTYPES.
Aaaanyways, the levels are quite diverse and I never knew what to expect going into each one, which is fun! I love mysteries! I mean it's not exactly Jump Jet Agatha Christie but y'know, it's cool. In all seriousness though, the level design is tight. There's also no forced tutorial but rather a main hub where you can learn basic mechanics and manoeuvres either yourself or through training, which is a nice option.
This game, despite being so easy to pick up, is very punishing - something that it openly advertises, so that's probably what the devs were going for. I found myself getting a little frustrated with the first boss battle after I died a ton trying to figure out how to beat it. The problem with this one battle was that the pacing was so different from before - I'd been trained to just GO GO GO as fast as I could throughout the previous levels while in this battle I had to wait for the right time to attack - it was actually easier to stand still than to keep moving. Despite this I've still really enjoyed JJR and heavily recommend it to anyone that is looking for a strong platforming game that you'll not only have a ton of fun playing but will also challenge you. Even a filthy casual like me enjoyed it! Support your the indies, guys! :)

JumpJet Rex is a fast-paced and retro styled platformer. You can play the game just for the story, or you can be the perfectionist by beating the time and not dying at all. The story is not to be taken serious, but it is very funny and cute. The gameplay is tons of fun and it can be very challenging when you are trying to get all the stars throughout the game. I had a blast playing JumpJet Rex; from the audio/visuals to the gameplay, JumpJet Rex is a nearly perfect game. I’m sure if you have the chance to play JumpJet Rex, you will have a blast throughout the whole experience.

• Amazing gameplay
  
• High replay value
  
• Really cool hub-world
  
• Perfect audio
  
• Cool retro style
  
• Funny and cute story
  
• Great mechanics
  
• Controller support
  
• Gfx options and rebinding support

• Fairly short story.
  
• Nothing else wrong it (I couldn’t think of anything of else wrong)

JumpJet Rex is a nearly perfect retro platformer. It has basically everything you would want in a Retro Platformer for PC (Amazing gameplay, High replay value, really cool hub-world, Funny and cute story, Great mechanics, Controller support, and Gfx options and rebinding support). It was very hard to find anything wrong with JumpJet Rex and it really deserves more attention. I would highly suggest you to pick up JumpJet Rex as soon as you can.

A really fun platformer. The unlimited air jumps and dashes feel really great to control. If you're only trying to beat the game, you can do so very quickly since the levels are short with multiple checkpoints. But if you want to collect all the coins, all the hidden items, make the best time on any given stage? You'll be replaying and practicing quite a bit.

Speed run versus against friends seems like it'll be a lot of fun too once more people start playing.

I think this game is a piece of art.

very simplistic controls but still very fun to use.
every level is perfect to speedrun and fun to do so if you are in speedrunning.
even a casual playhrough its a blast.

I do reccomend this game if you are in to platforming/speedrunning.

Still needs some smoothing out but this early release game is looking real nice,

Fast-paced, simple, and addictive. IL friendly with tight controls and suitable for both casual gamers and speedrunners. Looking forward to the final product
