Jetpack Jester by rustybroomhandle
An entry made by the IndieSquish community. All assets were created within Minecraft and then exported as .obj files to be manipulated in Blender, Maya & Unity.
Use WASD to move around. SPACE to jump and fly up, SHIFT to fly down. LEFT-MOUSE (Fire 1) to toggle the gravity beam. Hold down RIGHT-MOUSE (Fire 2) to mouse-rotate a currently beamed object.
The objective is to eliminate all the toys. Purchase toys and then stack them as high as you can. Stand on the red button to measure the stack height and how much you earn from it. Use your newly earned cash to buy more toys.
Needs loads of number-tweaking, but the essential bits are there.
Things that did not make it in:
- Loads more toys that folks built
- The intro video: http://youtu.be/IQoAqKoznmA
- The end credits: http://youtu.be/RTqMyZIxsFM
- Some planned gameplay features
- Polish, loads of polish
All & all a success. 37 people showed up to help build toys and other fun stuff. Do check out the credits!
Linux users, remember to set the executable bit in order to play.
Ktnxbai!

It is really hard to stack stuff though, I don't think I have the patience for that.
The title screen is a little low res, and hard to read, but other than that, great game. Love the concept and the community involvement.
From the description "The objective is to eliminate all the toys. Purchase toys and then stack them as high as you can. Stand on the red button to measure the stack height and how much you earn from it. Use your newly earned cash to buy more toys." Controls explained just above.
I think that the game would have been more interesting if you got to re-use all the toys from the previous rounds. I spent all my money on the first round, and couldn't fit them together well, so I just ended up with a fraction of the money for the next round. It just went downhill from there. :(
I ran the game on Linux, and it worked perfectly. Kudos for including a Linux build and for using a decent file host.
