Jet Pod Guy Review
By Alexitrón on 12 July 2008


Pros: Sticks to the rules. The controls are fine.You can select the difficulty level. Extras like Cheats and medals to keep you playing.

Cons: Some annoying obstacles.That constant clock sound. The difficulty of the later levels. Minor bugs.

Could this be the winner?...

PROS: You did a great job following the rules of the competition.This is definitely an improved version of Jet Pod with more levels obstacles and challenges.The Jet Pod controls as it should which is one of the most important aspects of the gameplay . Selecting different difficulty levels not only gives less difficult levels by removing certain things but it actually changes the whole game.There are also cheat codes that will skip you to certain levels and you will get a medal if you beat all the levels,better medals for better performance of course..

CONS:- Even though the obstacles add to the gameplay some of them are really annoying because they have random moving patterns.At the start of a level your Jet Pod is still but some obstacles are not so you can wait for the right moment to start moving to tackle this obstacles quicker because saving time is really important.The problem is that this obstacles not always move or spin or bounce in the same direction , so all the sense of strategy is lost because of this.The flying stars were specially noticeable since they changed the direction and speed every time the level was restarted.This means that how you do , specially on the later levels , will be determined more by luck than by skills.This can easily lead to frustration.I quited on level 18 of normal and 16 of hard because of this.I'm not saying is not possible,but when i start ramming my fist on my keyboard I know I have to stop.
- After a few plays i just had to lower my speakers completely because of the constant clock sound.
- There were also minor bugs like a flying star that got stuck in the wall and sometimes my jet Pod tarted flying even when I hasn't touched the keyboard.

Overall is a good game that sticks well to the rules and is sure to entertain.Good job googigi.

NOTE: The visuals were not important for this competition but they can do with some improvement specially the menus.You have some weird color tastes.
Story was rated at the lowest because this game doesn't need any story.
