DOWNLOAD FOR MACOpen it and drag JETBREAK onto Applications.
A work in progress, ready for playtesting.
Mac tested locally; Windows build needs wider playtesting.
First time opening the game?
Mac: Open the disk image and drag JETBREAK onto Applications. The app is notarized by Apple, so it opens like any other Mac app.
Windows: Run the setup program. It installs for your user only, without administrator rights, and adds JETBREAK to the Start menu and desktop. This early build is unsigned, so Windows may show Windows protected your PC: choose More info → Run anyway only if you trust this download. The release includes SHA-256 checksums to verify it. Uninstall it from Settings → Apps.
Once it opens, choose Play → Offline Practice for a local match with bots. Start with A / D to move, Space to jump, right mouse to use your jets, and left mouse to fire. Every action can be remapped in Controls.
03 / MAP CREATOR
YOUR MAP.
YOUR RULES.
Draw the terrain. Dig the tunnels. Place the bomb site. Then make your own game mode with rules and triggers, or let an AI agent build it with you. Playtest it and share it with your friends.
The Map Creator is included in the game menu. Prefer a standalone app? Grab it here.
BEFORE YOU DROP IN
GOOD TO KNOW.
Can I play by myself?
Yes. Play → Offline Practice starts a local match with bots by default. No account or internet connection is needed. Choose your map, mode and bot settings in Host.
How do I play with friends?
Use Quick Play to join an open match that fits your filters, or host one if none is available. Host lets you name your server and add an optional password. Friends can find it in Servers or connect directly. Hosting opens your router port automatically when the router allows it, and the Players tab gives you an invite address to copy. Everyone needs the latest installed version (protocol 24). Download and restart before going online. Internet hosting needs a reachable UDP port 27025, which may require port forwarding; the directory is not a relay.
Can I use a controller?
Yes. Move with the left stick, aim with the right, use LT / L2 for jets and RT / R2 to fire. Keyboard, mouse and controller bindings can all be changed in Controls. Controller support is still being playtested.
Is this the finished game?
This is a free early build. Movement, balance, bots and maps are still evolving. Ranked matchmaking and hosted quick-play servers are not available yet. Report a bug or share feedback on GitHub.
Does the game update itself?
Yes. Current Mac and Windows builds download verified updates in the background and install when you quit. Settings also offers Restart to update. Keep the app in a writable folder. Copies from before the automatic-update release need a one-time download. Online play requires the latest installed version; Offline Practice stays available while updating.
Can I run a dedicated server?
Yes. The Linux x86-64 server download includes instructions (docs/HOSTING.md). It hosts up to 20 players per match, with optional bots, map votes and anti-cheat. This export has not yet been tested on Linux.
