I really appreciate the work you've put into this Keep making quality projects. But, how did you create the graphics (the pixel art) did you use a tool like https://www.pixilart.com/ ?

I just want to say that you have done a really good job, @simiko. I think the game would be a little better if more aliens/monsters were added, and maybe different types of asteroids too.
But overall, really great game!
Any more coming out soon?
Interested to hear about more!

Version 2.0 of the Space JetPack has been released today!

Changes:
- Exploration mode added (you can now choose any planet in the game and practice all of its levels) - score is not ranked however
- Campaign mode now has checkpoints (you can restart game from the last planet you've reached)
- Gosu difficulty added (same as hard but without checkpoints = most points if you finish the campaign)
- Time bonus added. Completing level under 2 minutes gives you additional points!
- New planet added (Helios) with new fauna
- Soundtrack (use M to turn on/off music)
- Lot of code cleaning, smoother animations
- Lots of balancing changes
- Changes in point system

Notes:
- Touch controls won't by probably implemented, since Scratch does not support “multi touch” (it is not possible to hover and shoot at the same time basically)
- Scoreboard was reset

Enjoy the game!

Hi

I have a few questions for you about the game:
On the first level, how do you get fuel for the ship?
Whats the difference between the 2 modes?
Can you do f4f?

I can answer the question about fuel. You need to shoot the asteroids to get fuel. Each asteroid takes a lot of hits before it gets destroyed, producing the fuel. I think maybe 10 hits? The good part is you can start to collect the fuel even before you've finished putting the spaceship together - then when it's completed the fuel you've collected automatically gets added.

On level 3 and later you can get a boost which makes your lasers stronger for 15 seconds, which means it takes fewer hits to destroy the asteroids. That is a good time to collect as much fuel as possible!

Hi!
Exploration mode allows you to choose a planet where you would like to practice. Each planet has 4 levels, you always start with the first one on that planet and progress as you are able to complete them. Points you collect are not added to global score list however.

In campaign mode you start on planet one and progress to planet 4 level by level. If you fail, you can respawn on the last planet you were able to reach.
Respawn is not available for GOSU difficulty. Higher difficulty gives you more points for each completed level.

Besides this, the game behaves the same in all modes.

I don't do F4F, if I like your project than I might follow you. But I generally don't want to follow too many people, to avoid notification flood.

Hello scratchers!

This is my first shared project so hopefully you will like it.

Project started as an explanator
l] developed and published by Ultimate Play the Game in 1983, but we tried to reimagine it and bring little bit more “game” to it.

It took roughly 2 weeks to finish. All the graphics (intentionally pixel based) is original created by me.

Enjoy Space Jetpack !

13.2.2020 - Updated to v1.5 - scoreboard added
20.2.2020 - Featured !!
4.3.2020 - Update to v2.0 - lot of changes (read here)

This one took 2 weeks - well maybe 3 with graphics.

The idea is mentioned in the credits - it is a reimagination of Jetpac game from ZX spectrum. I reimagined it A LOT I would say

Added lot of original ideas there.

It is hard I know. Try championship with bots as drivers. It is still fun to watch. I am working on adjustable difficulty for the game but it will take couple of days. Have fun!

Hi there!
As Space Jetpack is slowly crawling towards 100K views, I thought it would be good to revisit the code again.
I uploaded new version today.

changelog:
- The 5th planet was added including new fauna and raising water!
- Brand new mechanics introduced - boss level 20

Enjoy!
