Jetpack Survival by BlennosoftGames
See how long you can survive in "Jetpack Survival", a minimalist one-button game.
The button:
Up-arrow, SPACE, or Left-click (Your choice)
Try landing on tanks and waiting to burn through the top to explode them and earn time bonuses.
(Yes the title screen is ugly, didn't have time left for it)
Note:
The following 'Rankings' are possible:
"Jetpack Survivor" - For a normal well-rounded play-through
"Gas Guzzler" - For excessive Jetpack fuel usage.
"Tank Slayer" - For destroying an average of one tank per minute.
"Running Man" - For spending more time on the ground than in the air.

Oh, wait... just read about the tanks and had to try that so now I'm a Tank Slayer! (2:00) That boosted your game score quite a bit :)
You might want to make those instructions stand out and/or rename the game to something like 'Jetpack Tank slayer!'
@Trench - Thank you for your comments! I am aware of that floating-bullet glitch but sadly I did not have time to fix it. At least it doesn't actually threaten you so it's not game-breaking. Also, I did experiment with having the tanks aim at the player, however that quickly became much too difficult to dodge, if not impossible, since you can only dodge up and down. The aimless firing seems dangerous enough :P
@tankete : Thanks for the comment :) I wanted to at least add a Jetpack engine and tank-explosion sound but ran out of time :( The ranks are based off of your play-style rather than how well you played. There's info about earning the ranks in the description. I would have added more ranks for long-time survivors, but didn't have time to determine what was an 'impressive' enough amount of time. It seems most people tend to get in and around 2 minutes, so maybe 3 or 4 would be good, but I didn't know that until the commenters started telling me.
