Overview
Description

Jetman returns to the stars in his most ambitious quest yet. After the Golden Warpship is shattered by Space Pirates, you must pilot the Jetpod, refuel at the Federation Mothership, and recover the scattered fragments across twelve labyrinthine planets. Survival hinges on precise navigation, fuel management, and combat against hidden threats. Reassemble the legendary ship and confront the ultimate interstellar foe in this classic action experience, now available through the Rare Replay collection.

Take the reins of Starshot, the star‑juggling hero of the Space Circus, as you battle the rival Virtua Circus and its evil director Wolfgang von Ravel. Travel across four exotic planets, recruit quirky characters, and use your ability to walk, run, swim, fly and shoot controllable stars to overcome challenges. The story unfolds with a high‑stakes loan from the Intergalactic Bank, a daring weapons‑expo heist, and a final showdown that determines the fate of the circus. With rich 3D graphics and over 300 cosmical characters, this single‑player platform adventure blends comedy, sci‑fi action, and classic platforming fun.
