A throwback to the hardcore platformer games of old, JumpJet Rex features fast-paced gameplay in a 16-bit aerospace world, where players take control of a Tyrannosaurs Rex with interstellar jump boots in order to save dino-kind from extinction by a giant asteroid. In JumpJet Rex, players will jump, drop and dash through more than 40 puzzling levels and race against the clock to not only preserve life during the Mesozoic era, but also prove their platforming prowess against other dino enthusiasts.
“Ever since we received player suggestions for our first game, Bardbarian, we wanted to go into Early Access for JumpJet Rex and make sure we created an entertaining game that had the features gamers were craving,” said Mike Gaboury, art director of TreeFortress Games. “We’ve received solid feedback during Early Access and we’re thrilled to soon launch JumpJet Rex with a slew of new features that we’re sure new and old fans will love.”
