I’m an indie dev and I’m making a 3D platformer with flight and third person shooting mechanics called Jetman World (working title).
I’d love to get some feedback, so if you play it tell me what you think in the comments (good or bad). It’s free to download on itch.io (link below).
And here’s a gameplay trailer of the current version:
Hi @AleMarcati. I commend your dedication and diligence. I appreciate any game where the Player Character has a Gun and a Jetpack / fly. That’s my kind of game!
Jetman World definitely captures the nostalgic feel of the iconic platformers: Super Mario 64 (and all the 3D Mario franchise), Banjo-Kazooie, Crash Bandicoot, and Sonic.
I would add Loops/Barrel Rolls, Jet Boost, More Flying maneuvers & Mechanics, More Flying Enemy Types and Quantity, Floating Obstacles, Floating Coins and Powerups for Weapons and Jets. I would place all emphasis on Flight, Jetpack Manuevers and Boosting, Gliding, Hovering, Takeoff/Landing.
Afterall, He is Jetman and its his World. Not Mario’s.
Thank you very much for your feedback, I really appreciate it. I agree with all your points and already plan on adding most of the suggested features, and also focusing more on the flight mechanic then on the platforming per se. Loved the way you put it “it’s jetman’s world, not Mario’s”. Great advice!
