DOWNLOAD THE [New, Not for Consideration] VERSION:
CJP-aDP v1.1
New area, but save data won't carry over from an old version. The new area is something extra to do, a challenge... be prepared for anger.

CJP-aDP v1.0

Wait... the cockpit is a laptop?! And it's in black and white?! Yes please!

I really like the style.  It reminds me of the old Mac games back in the Mac classic days.  For example, Super Solvers: OutNumbered!  I know the color version is more popular, but I only had the black and white version.

My only criticism: that hand scares the shit out of me.

[Glyph]

Yeah... I guess the hand's so creepy because the fingers are different widths or something about its position. I'll work on fixing that.
As for the black and white style, I have an obsession with things in this old style... something about them draws me in like a sucker.

[Fuzz]

Don't fix the hand! It adds to the atmosphere.

[Inanimate]

I love the black and white.

Made this in past few hours-

the static and bars show up when you're outside the mech (of course, if the area's not filled with poison gas ) because it's not in use and I guess it does that. Don't worry, it's animated and not always near impossible to see through like in this image.
The outside the mech parts are for Commander Jet Pack and his pistol/laser to show who's boss, but are probably going to be pretty rare, and it will use the view visible when dismounting, keeping you within sight of the mech.

[Inanimate]

Really nice idea! I can't wait to see more (or even play it!)!

[PGGB]

This is a really cool idea. 

[jph wacheski]

nice!   

[Glyph]

Thanks everybody, for all your comments! I'll try to have a demo version made soon, I just have to now make an item, money, and hp engine and implement some enemies.

[Glyph]

Okay, did a lot but not everything. Made one enemy, money, hp, and jet fuel engines. and I have a playable demo. Just one room that showcases the three guns in the game, the enemies I made, and some jars with money in them.
Controls-
Arrows- Left/Right:move  Up:fly
A-shoot
Q-get off/get on Jet-Mech.
Space-reset
Still heavy WIP, please report any bugs!

EDIT: Oh, and screenshots, of course!

[Inanimate]

Oooh, it is really fun! I love it already.

[Glyph]

Okay, it's been a while, but... I finally got around to an update.
I have sound (just sfx), a pause screen, a new enemy (not much development there) and sadly no new tiles. The pause screen can be triggered with W, and is a lot like the La Mulana pause screen, in that I will have it display all the items you get and the weapon select. I'll change the first post to include what this post added, as well.
Also, press S when the player to abort your visit outside the mech, and, at the cost of some hp, get back inside.
(This version, v 0.1, has all the equippable items and weapons. The Knife can be used with S, and the present does nothing (yet, of course).)

I know everyone hates hearing about what their games remind people of.  But I just have to say that this game has a little bit of a Blaster Master feel to it.  Keep up the good work.
