Jetpack: Christmas Special brings a festive twist to the classic 1993 DOS action-platformer by Software Creations. You strap on a jetpack to fly through single-screen puzzle-like levels, collecting all the scattered gems while avoiding holiday-themed enemies to unlock the exit door.
How to play
The objective is to collect every gem on the screen to open the exit portal. You can move using the arrow keys and activate your jetpack to fly, but you must keep an eye on your limited fuel supply. You are equipped with a phase shifter (typically the Alt key) which allows you to dig through certain brick floors to trap enemies or access hidden areas.
| Control: |
Game is controlled by the same keys that are used to playing under MS DOS. For fullscreen press ‘Right Alt’ + ‘Enter’. |
Tips
- Your phase shifter only digs through regular bricks, and the holes will eventually fill back in. Use them to trap enemies or create shortcuts.
- Fuel is a precious resource. Plan your route to grab fuel tanks along the way, and use ladders and walking whenever possible to conserve it.
- Pay attention to enemy patrol routes. Some foes will relentlessly pursue you, while others follow simple back-and-forth patterns that are easy to exploit.
