YMMV / Jets'n'Guns

• Anticlimax Boss: One shot, or even ramming, is all it takes to splatter Xoxx's head after you destroy his backup time washing machine in the Gold Edition.
• Awesome Music:
  • Machinae Supremacy and Nooly shows us how tunes from different genres can fit perfectly into one video game.
  • "Machinaeguns", the final boss theme, manages to sound very ominous and intimidating.
• Funny Moments: Numerous.
  • In one side mission, you destroy a bunch of space spam ads.
  • Some of the ships you can fly include a World War I-era plane and a hot dog van.
  • In one level, the game alerts you that a flying mausoleum is ahead.
  • In another level, you have to fight Space Invaders-esque enemies.
• Fridge Logic: How do you build a universe-destroying quantum cannon for peaceful purposes?
  • It may have been originally meant to be a less-powerful version, which was to be used together with an Omnigun or some similar universe-generating device, like in the matter-antimatter particle annihilation experiments, and have just enough power to destroy small freshly-created universes, but not enough to destroy the Universe.
• It's Short, So It Sucks!: The sequel is only about a third the length of Gold with far fewer levels and only one ship with limited equipment slots for the entire campaign.
• Sidetracked by the Gold Saucer: The Tetris-esque Tetrix minigame. The Steam release of JnG Gold even has an achievement for getting 10,000 points, a nearly impossible task due to the differences in pieces from normal Tetris.
• That One Level: In some levels, you have to go underwater and must encase your ship in a special shell. This severely limits your weapon slots and upgrade options. When you could attach many more things to your ship just before, being forced to take such a reduction in firepower is annoying.
  • Level 3 has tons of enemies that just love to zoom and swoop around unpredictably, in a game where Collision Damage can and will kill you in seconds.
  • The space race can be this for people who rely more on firepower than finesse, since the level has no shooting at all and revolves entirely around your piloting skills.
