Black Finger Jet aims to capture the essence of classic arcade run-and-gun games with its eight-way aiming mechanics and pixel art style reminiscent of the Metal Slug series. Players will navigate through a variety of stages using an arsenal of weapons such as handguns, machine guns, and shotguns. A standout feature is the JET car, a versatile vehicle that can transform into an airplane or submarine, adding diverse gameplay elements.
The game promises a simple yet exhilarating action experience with both single-player and multiplayer modes. Although no release date has been announced, it will be available on PC via Steam. The game was featured at the Tokyo Game Show 2024, where attendees could view new trailers and gameplay content.
