Sorry about this being in an unfinished state. In reality I will probably expand on this idea a bit more after the deadline, but I'm not sure.

I added coins and sounds, but I had to remove the 2nd player temporarily.

Source is really big because I accidentally included a ton of the default Unity assets.

Controls: A/D move left/right. Spacebar to use JETPACK!
Apologies for the HEAVY GPU usage. These fancy graphics take their toll.

I spotted this yesterday in Reddit and got my hopes up. If you just had more time to finish it. :)

The level design needs some pacing work. It never seems to get any more challenging. I can also fall through the lava and not die, and then go outside the world.

Looks like you've got some nice jet pack physics, and cool graphics and particles. I'm disappointed it's not a finished game though.

Hey guys - thanks for the support! I will be finishing this game - and in place of random platforms- I'll be doing random sets- sorta like Spelunky, but tower mode.

Obviously I can't make these changes to the LD version because those are MAJOR changes. But I assure you, after the competition, this game will be updated!

Well... it's not that bad for an "unfinished game"

Well, it's an unfinished game, and will rate it accordingly. The floor looks great, though. Keep it up, there's a game in there to be finished.

It makes for an awesome screenshot, but there's really nothing to this. You can pick up coins if you want, or you can not. It doesn't matter--nothing keeps track of them. You can rocket ahead of the advancing lava or you can fall into it. It doesn't matter--nothing happens either way.

I hesitate to call this a game at all. There are no goals, no consequences, and no real choices to be made. I suppose time just ran out, but as it stands, there's just nothing to it.

That is really cool.
The main thing that it is missing is increasing difficulty.

Love me jetpacks! Graphics are cool and it runs fine on my laptop. Maybe some jetpack fuel limitation/recharge mechanics would have added some needed gameplay.

Cool and fun to play, but it could have really used a "score" counter or something to keep track of all my coins!

If you take this further, adding "fuel" would be a good idea. Death, too ;) Not sure how the theme applies here but not like it really matters.

Seems like it could have been ok with a few more features.
Is there a goal? Score? More levels? I couldnt die if i tried.

Not bad, but needs more.

Some nice effects. Jetpack is a bit annoying to use because of all the blocks in the way. Maybe if you could weave between them by rotating the player to follow the mouse or something it could be really fun.

physics good, lava good, game play good -- however game feel more unfinished than minimal -- nice job
