Sky Jac Reviews

Short but sweet, I really liked it and I want more. Love the humor =)

It's a simple, and currently short, first-person platforming game. No movement except your "jetpack", controlled with one hand's grip. It's a bit frustrating that there's no movement except for the jetpack - the game would really benefit from arm-swinging or another form of locomotion, especially as your jetpack has a cooldown if you use it for 5 straight seconds. It's well put together, graphics, sound, voice acting are all good, it's just too short at the moment. There's one small section of shooting, but apart from that it's just floating along a fairly linear path. What's there is really nice, but you might want to hold off until there's more content.

I wanted to like this game a lot. The trailer I saw for it a couple months ago had me really excited. Unfortunately I can't recommend it. I beat the first chapter in 30 minutes and it was more tedious than fun. There's no locomotion except for the jetpack, which let's you move slowly for maybe 10 seconds before going on cooldown for another 3 or so. You're on a level platform and want to walk to the other end of it? You have to use the jetpack. It's really unnatural and immersion breaking, and the length of the game is only what it is because of the cooldowns slowing the pace. Unfortunately, it just wasn't fun. The final scene showed some promise and the weapon you receive right before that added a little interest, but the first chapter ends a minute later (right now there's only the one chapter). After a few more chapters are released, the game might be worth picking up, but as of now it's certainly not worth the $10 asking price.
