Jet Lancer Reviews

I feel bad for only paying 1$

a perfect game for the steamdeck! Amazing art.

An amazing game, very much recommend.

I have never seen a game with a stronger opening 20 seconds.

OH NAH, I've been looking for an arcade game like this for so looong. THank you devs :)

Fun little game that could be best summarized as Luftrausers on steroids. The game is fun but the story is rather bland. Pixel art is very nice. Combat started out interesting but as the game goes on it asks you to keep track of more and more things at once. The screen gets so cluttered with enemies and projectiles during the later missions strategy went out the window, and I found myself bashing my head against missions repeatedly hoping I'd win by chance. The Bosses are awesome. Each one is unique and fun in its own way. I felt like I was learning and engaging with them, complete opposite from the score/time attack missions. Last thing that influenced me to not recommend this game: the price. I feel like $10 is the highest this game should be priced at. If you already know you'll like this game the $15 may be worth it to you, to me it was not.

Awesome game. decent story. great gameplay. I did get it for $2 tho...

I give this game 6/10. There are a lot of pros and cons about this game: + Fast-paced side-scrolling dogfight game. It will definitely test your reflexes + Each mission has a different challenge. Don’t expect equipping the latest weapons and mods can get you through a mission. You need to strategize your loadout, especially if you are aiming to ACE (highest mission completion rank) the mission. Cons - Game is not controller-friendly. Sure, this game supports controllers. But there is a huge advantage using mouse and keyboard. It is already given that it is easier to aim using a mouse, but it also provides you a cursor. When you play using a controller, that cursor is gone. This is a huge disadvantage especially if you are aiming to ACE a mission as you gain more points when you miss less. Also, without a cursor, it is difficult to hit a target using an unguided missile. Spamming unguided missiles is also not a good strategy as you can only fire 4 at a time, you need to wait for it to reload before you can fire. There is a guided missle in the game, but it generates less points and combo multiplier. Again, a huge disadvantage when you are aiming to ACE the mission - The achievement for “ACE+” feels luck-based for wave-related missions. You gain this achievement for ACEing all missions in New Game+. [spoiler]For example, OP16 (mission) and OP1. For OP16, you need to defend an aircraft. The AI is not that great, always spearheading the bullets and the enemies, making it difficult to complete the mission in ACE. To get ACE, you must get a lot of points. You can do this by getting combo and counter multipliers, weapon usage, accuracy, and time. Combo multiplier is your best friend here, and you cannot depend on other multipliers. You need to use the unguided missile to get 0.3 multiplier each kill, and it reduces 0.1 multiplier per 0.5 second, I think. ACEing this mission is luck-based because you have a fix amount of enemies, randomly spawn and fly on the area. Imagine, the next enemy is on the far right side of the area, you will lose a lot of multiplier. Your best hope is they fly closer so you can set up to 3.0 combo multiplier to ACE the mission. Also, during the start of the mission, your plane enters from the left, facing the right side of the screen. Again with the random spawn, your best scenario is all enemies spawned at the right side of the screen to get the best combo multiplier. OP1 in New Game+ is definitely near-impossible to ACE. I honestly don’t know how I did it. I just spammed barrel-roll (evade mechanic in game) within a tank (yes, there are ground enemies in the game) and the rank meter went up from rank B to S. I already ACEd the other endgame and boss missions, and this seems to be the most difficult mission to ACE.[/spoiler] Overall, this is a fun game due to its gameplay mechanics. But know that aiming for 100% is skill and luck-based.

this is one of those games if it got a sequel it would be peck just make the perfect game even perfecter. just give me more like slow mo ability, pvp, grappling hook every game needs a grappling hood, reverse thrust, blade ship idk just cook dude please.

Bought this game on a whim. Great addictive arcade gameplay, controls are easy to get used to and the game itself isn't frustrating, but it keeps to on the edge of your seat. Pixel art is beautiful and the music slaps. Best $2 I've spent, heck would have bought it at full price!
