JumpJet Rex is a punishing, old school 2-D platformer where players take control of a Tyrannosaurus Rex with extraterrestrial jump boots to save dino-kind from extinction by a giant asteroid.

GamingTrendRon BurkeApr 201590/100If you are a fan of old school games like Mega Man, this may be the easiest purchase you ever make. JumpJet Rex's new-school approach to old school platforming, and the addition of the time trial elements and collection itch to scratch, this game is an absolutely must-have.

Digital ChumpsJosh MooreApr 20158.8/10There's no reason "JumpJet Rex" shouldn't be the leader in the clubhouse for Indie Game of the Year. While I don't feel its designation as a platformer is 100% on-point in describing what the game actually is, that should not be held against it. This "platflyer" is more than worth the price of admission. Its yesteryear graphics and soundtrack are supplemented by subtle nods to gaming history, both visually and in its level design. Beyond its nostalgic surface, though, is a game that's freaky fun and well-suited for pick-up-and-play gamers as much as it is for hardcore enthusiasts looking to set world records.

COGconnectedNicholas PlouffeApr 201584/100Overall this is a really great indie title for anyone interested in speedrunning or a game they can jump in and out of quickly. It's hard to not hate dinosaurs in space, especially when they have jetboots strapped on and are trying to save an entire planet from destruction; JumpJet Rex is no exception.
