Critic reviews
- Every stage features a different five or six-color palette, which both helps and hurts longer sessions, by differentiating levels but also offering less visual stimulation. Compounding this is the lack of gameplay variety; the boss fights presented a fair challenge, but the levels leading up to them had a tendency to drag on. Even the optional treasure rooms that are unlocked by engaging in a final duel at the end of every stage fail to provide enough risk for their reward—I went for them on each level and never failed (Did that make me too powerful?).
- Jetboard Joust is a fun rogue-like game with plenty of replayability. Aside from having no story, the game thrives on its unique pixelated graphics, good sound design, and addictive gameplay. With the option to pick and choose levels for different runs and builds, this game is well worth the pick.
- 7.0You can only shoot the way you are flying as well, so in order to damage enemies, you need to be flying at them, while they are shooting at you. This usually ends about as well as you’d expect. Other than this, it is a challenging fight and usually a fair one.
