If you are a fan of old school games like Mega Man, this may be the easiest purchase you ever make. JumpJet Rex’s new-school approach to old school platforming, and the addition of the time trial elements and collection itch to scratch, this game is an absolutely must-have.
JumpJet Rex feels right at home alongside of a lot of the classic retro games it pays homage to, but it also has some great modern updates and tweaks. While I could go for a little more variety in terms of the overarching goals it presents, I still found myself jumping in constantly to best my last ghost run even after the credits rolled.
A great speedrunner that does the little things right and plays to a certain style of charm.
Jumpjet Rex is a great game but it can often as frustrating as it is fun. As long as you pace yourself, especially when things start getting difficult and your progression slows, you will find it to be an extremely enjoyable trip down memory lane and a great reminder of how challenging 2D platformers can be.
Humankind often underestimates the intelligence of dinosaurs. We forget that they pioneered space travel and worked tirelessly to protect the Earth from an oncoming asteroid. Thankfully, JumpJet Rex is here to remind us of their heroism.
Burnin' out his fuse up here alone.
