Evaluation

JumpJet Rex launched into Early Access on January 14, 2015 and reached its full 1.0 release on April 21, 2015. During the Early Access period and shortly after launch, TreeFortress Games was actively updating the game: they shipped multiple feature updates adding new levels, game modes (Co-op, Rage Quit Rex, SpeedRun), and PvP Arena and Race modes. The last developer communication on record is a bug fix patch posted on August 20, 2015. Since that date — more than ten years ago — there have been no further posts, updates, or announcements from the developer. The only DLC ever listed is the soundtrack, which released the day after launch on April 22, 2015, and there are no unreleased DLC entries. The store description makes no mention of future content, roadmaps, or planned additions. The game shipped as a complete package and all post-launch updates have long since concluded.

About this game

Retro Platformer Flare
JumpJet Rex features beautiful hand-drawn 16-bit graphics and classic chiptune music that transfers dino lovers back to the 2-D glory days of the early 90’s.

Secrets and Collectibles
With dozens of items stashed across the Galaxy, and many secret areas to discover, JumpJet Rex offers plenty to do for the treasure hunters in the house!

Replayability
With a time challenge twist, players can replay every level multiple times to prove their platforming prowess. Download ghosts to race against the best players in the world, or compete directly with your friends to see who can post the best times!

Killer Old School Gameplay
Remember when platformers were so tough that people would hurt their hands playing, but feel amazing after getting past a level? Relive those moments with JumpJet Rex’s strenuous platforming challenges and retro boss battles.

Co-op Mode
Saving all of dinokind from a giant asteroid barreling down on Earth is a pretty tall task for a T-Rex with tiny arms, so players can team up with a friend to take on challenges. Teammates must coordinate efforts in order to avoid mass obliteration.

Customization and Upgrades
No two T-Rex’s are alike and fans will be able to customize their character and upgrade their appearance with the loot they collect on their travels.
