Jet Pack Jesus
THANKS FOR THE FRONT PAGE, NEWGROUNDS! I LOVE YOU UTTERLY AND COMPLETELY!
Update 4-17: Fixed a bug where a getting to the ninth tree caused the game to freeze/crash. This coincidentally happened at around 30 or so cheeses, so sorry to people who thought they had a good shot at the 40 cheese cheevo, only to have it stolen from there grasp!
EPIPHANY: I'm not done with this game. It's not where I want it to be quality-wise, and there's so much to add, so it's now my mission to add something to this game every day for as long as I can. I don't care if it only has 2000 views and didn't make the front page, it's gonna be the best damn game I ever make!
Update 2-9: Experimental Gamepad Support (tested on Mac OS X with 360 controller), and experimental replays. Here, "experimental" means possibly probably buggy. I also started adding touch controls, but those will require a little more time and effort :)
Update 2-2: And on the ninth day, Dan actually rested: so JPJ's been tearing it up for a while now, it's off the front page, and it's up to 2 rows of medals. I think it's time to slow the updates a bit. Not sure what the new rate will be, but no slower than weekly so check back at least once a week!
The main reason for this is that features and medals than can be coded in a day are getting harder to come by, plus the bigger, cooler, substantial features I want to add that might take more time.
So sorry to disappoint, but fear not! There will be more Jet Pack Jesus!
Update 2-1: 1 more medal (16), and a new Character to play as!
Update 1-31: And on the seventh day, Dan rested, by only adding 1 medal (15). I promise a more substantial addition tomorrow!
Update 1-30: 1 New Medal! (14) Scroll Improvements!
Update 1-29: 3 More Medals! (13) Better Medal Popup! Fixed Character Select!
Update 1-28: 2 More Medals! (10 Total) You can now also sync your medals to Newgrounds, in case you get one in the game, but not on the site for some reason.
Update 1-27: In-game Cheevo Menu + Title Screen Instructions (man, that was long overdue!)
Update 1-26: 3 More Medals! (8 Total)
Update 1-25: 3 New Medals! (5 Total)
UPDATE: Some asshole game developer commented out the code that submits medals to NG, which is why that's been broken. It's been added back in, so you can get medals again! You'll unfortunately need to achieve them again, but that just means you get to play more :)
What Would Jesus Do... WITH A JETPACK?!?

Commentary:
This game. This ******* game. This has been a game I've been working on for almost two years now. Wait a minute, this sounds familiar...
Anyway, I started making this is AS3 in Spring 2014, before switching to Haxe. That took forever, and I decided to take a break at the end of 2014. I started anew in December 2015, rewriting the game to use Javascript and WebGL, and the game is much better for it (although it may be buggy across browsers and devices).
This game was developed and tested in Firefox, so if you have the latest version of that, it should work like a charm. If you're on the latest version of any other browser, I hope it will work, although there may be some weird quirks, so bust out FF for the best experience!
If people like it, I'll keep adding to it, cause I really want to! Also, let me know when you find bugs! Reloading might be the best solution, honestly!
PS. Makes it to Pixel Day with seconds to spare! Eat it, bitches!
