What's more minimal than cubes? Also, no framework or library other than libsdl and opengl was used.

You need a browser supporting WebGL to play the game. (Firefox and Chrome should work, Safari has it disabled by default, according to Wikipedia.)
It is even playable in Firefox on Android now.

Fun game! The aiming controls fooled me for a bit (I didn't notice the jetpack mechanics lol) I like the way it measures your current altitude.

Really neat game, both fun and hard to play.

Very fun, though I only got to the yellow cubes once. Pretty impressive for using exclusively cubes (even the UI!). Occasionally annoying due to having nowhere to jump to.

This is really cool and fits the theme very well. Good job.

Some sounds would be nice. The control scheme is kinda meh, otherwise a great game :)

Haha, oddly charming. Not super easy, but cool idea. I like your graphics — I think your palette is what's working for me. It would be a good idea to tell ppl that they need Chrome (or whatever). Didn't work for me in Safari. Yay!

For such a simple game this is awesome! It would have been cool to do this in 3d as well, (rotating camera)

Well executed. Some nice sound effects are the only thing missing to make it feel more alive. Great use of boxes for the entire game!

Nice game mechanics!

Do you realize how addictive it is this videogame? XD
The only thing I would like to change is the "jet" direction, when you are in the air and propel the cube upward just invert the axis :)

Impressive and innovation!
This is really fun!
The way to jump and jetpack is suit for this game!
Really good job!:p

Definitely a solid idea. Very fleshed out. It could use tighter controls, though.
