Jetpack Mole is a mobile arcade-style video game first created from the Brackeys game jam 2023 with Unity, later ported to Android.
The retro-style experience is oriented around descending a randomly-generated endlessly scrolling world, mining varied ores and purchasing items at shops. A wall of fire accelerates behind the player to pose a greater challenge. The goal of the game is to beat your previous high score. The game uses a multi-layered dynamically generated tilemap system to manage the overlapping borders of different ores. A simple world generation algorithm is used to keep the gameplay varied.
