I can't play it
My XboMy Xbox controller is not recognized, and playing keyboard/mouse on it is really not a pleasant experience.

Jet Lancer
Description
Jet Lancer is a high-velocity aerial combat shooter where you duel enemy aviators, hunt giant robots, and defy death at supersonic speeds.
You are Ash Leguinn: badass pilot, highly paid mercenary, and flight-school drop out. Your day job is fine - the daily grind of dealing with Sky Pirates pays the bills - but nothing compares to the rush of demolishing a ninety-ton mechanical monstrosity at the speed of sound. And you’ll have your chance. As mechanized weapons converge on Root City, you’ll have to be at the top of your game to survive, and you’ll have to surpass your limits if you want to save the world.
- Be A Badass: Jet Lancer is easy to learn but hard to master. Precise and responsive controls make you feel like an ACE as you dodge and weave through enemy fire without even a scratch in the paint.
- Surpass your Limits in Ash’s Story: Make your way from rookie aviator to ACE pilot in a story-driven single player campaign containing 30 missions, 11 bosses, and only 1 chance to save the world.
- Aggressive New Game Plus: Go higher, further, and faster in Jet Lancer’s New Game Plus mode which features more relentless AI, new attack patterns, and some fancy new upgrades for the LANCE to provide a fresh experience.
- Choose From an Extensive Arsenal: Customizable loadout with 28 different guns, payloads, and flight components to let you dominate the skies in any way you’d like.
- Customize with Accessibility Options:We think everyone should have the opportunity to feel like an ACE pilot. To that end we’ve included anti-fatigue control toggles, adjustable dodge windows, an invincibility option, and the ability to disable screenshake and screen flashing.
- Talking Cat: There’s a talking cat! His name is Lem.
- Vladimir Fedyushkin is the designer of Jet Lancer and is also in charge of art and hacky code solutions. A string of random events in his life led him to game development as a career and he hasn't looked back. You can follow him on Twitter @WhyNotArtDump
- Nicolai is the code wizard in charge of making things move on the screen. He hits buttons and helps to make the game as fun as we envisioned in our minds. You can follow him on Twitter @NicolaiGD
- Fat Bard are the guitar-shredders behind Jet Lancer's soundtrack. A composition/sound design duo, they create memorable music and immersive audio for games.
Jet Lancer is the debut game from Vladimir Feduyshkin and Nicolai Danielsen.

God is a Geek
9/10
Oozing retro arcade cool, yet still feeling modern and unique, Armor Games Studios have absolutely delivered with Jet Lancer.

8/10
Jet Lancer is a souped up arcade shooter made for quick bursts of adrenaline-pumping aerial action. For those raised on Saturday morning cartoons and after-school arcade sessions, Jet Lancer is a childhood pipe dream come to life.

8/10
Jet Lancer is a great aerial combat game, giving you a real sense of freedom as you fly through the skies battling enemies that come at your from all directions. The story is nothing to write home about, and the timed missions can be a touch annoying, but Jet Lancer is a fun shoot 'em up overall.

Fun game to play!
Takes some time to get used to. But it's a good game. I recommend using a gamepad controller.

Bangai-O spiritual successor
Title says it all. I loved every minute of it. There is a bit of a difficulty spike late game, but they give you plenty of options, so its not a problem if you get stuck. PS - looks great with a CRT filter via reshade as well!

Just fun as hell
I kind of stumbled accross this game and couldn't be happier with it. Jet Lance is just a good damn time, the game feel, the encounters, the bosses, all grade-A certified deep fried gold.
