Finished the game!
first off I really love the art style, the character designs are interesting and the setting is beautiful. the game feels juicy and the buttons are impactful. especially liked the trail that follows the character after depleting the jetpack. the sounds were mostly good, some sounds are a little loud compared to the rest but nothing really problomatic.
the unconventional controls were annoying at times - at first I couldn't really put my finger on what felt wrong, but I think its a combination of two things , jumping with the jetpack feels sometimes inconsistent, and hard to control. but mainly I think the problem is the cooldown. because the jetpack is your only way of fighting enemies and jumping across large gaps, the cooldown makes you wait after every obstacle without doing anything, it makes the game feel weird, and is especially frustrating when you die and need to start over.
aside from the mechanical issues the game is great, looks and sounds good and feels polished.
