funny how he explodes into a million pieces at broken-leg speed. I like the physics otherwise though. the momentum is nice.

Thanks for the responses. I found the way back to the main menu after I posted, but it would be nice if you didn't have to die to get that option. And yes, it is possible to recover, but it seems a lot harder than it should be. (Especially if you're coming down from space and there's no more rain, even in the atmosphere.)

Really great game. I love the art style and the music. I had fun and looking forward to a sequel with more upgrades and stuff! :)

I made it to the moon on my second try. Is that considered beating the game? Well, at any rate it's a marvelous game. The mechanics are simple, the gameplay is addicting, and the music is lovely. I remember playing this EIGHT years ago... Time flies. Just like Jetpack Jerome!

Would be nice if there was a real chance to recover when you run out of fuel. I started falling, but, on the way down, I collected enough raindrops to keep my tank fairly full. It still wasn't enough to keep me from crashing. That doesn't seem right.
I didn't add a terminal velocity so that it wouldn't take forever to die when you've already lost. You can recover from a would-be fatal fall, but you have to counter the momentum you've already collected on the way down first. I hope that makes sense. :)

Why do I have to choose keyboard OR mouse control? And why, if I change my mind, do I have to reload the entire page?
You can change the settings by going to the main menu from the Game Over screen and continuing back to the game. I apologize for this oversight, I assumed people would choose either option and stick with it. I'll keep this in mind for the next game. Thanks for playing!

Hmm... Lets see. Brown protagonist name Jerome... Stereotypically "black" things being shouted in bad obviously faux-blaccent... Yup. Congrats. You made a racist game that isn't even much fun. Hope you're proud of yourself!

example for upgrades.... larger fuel capacity, less drag , parachute , vaccume to suck in the rain and stars backup tank go wild....
the currency is 1 for each raindrop 3 for star etc
