About

JetPack Space Arcade

Features
Read full description

JetPack Space Arcade is an homage to the arcade games of old. Inspired by the ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64 shoot-em-ups of old, JetPack is a reboot to show what those games could have looked like if iPhones had been around! This is the chance to shoot aliens and not feel guilty about it. Collect 3 ship parts to complete your spaceship, then collect the all important fuel pods. Once you have 4 of them, your ship will start to fire up and then it's time to get in and head to the next alien wave. There are 2 alien waves per spaceship, then it's time build a new ship and discover what is out there trying to make your life difficult. There are 6 different ships to assemble, reflecting current models as well as some historical ones and a veteran Jules Verne ship just because life is fun and 'A Rocket to the Moon' inspired generations of writers and entrepreneurs alike. A quick bit of maths and brain crunching works out that there are a total of 12 alien waves to decimate before it's time to head back to the beginning and start over. It won't be that easy tho' - the aliens increase in number and ferocity as the game progresses. The gauntlet is laid down... what's your high score?
