: I think another reason a jetpack is provided at the beginning of Their Gamla
: is in case a player used too much of the jetpack fuel in Newton. The
: jetpack does not contain a large amount of fuel. After conducting repeated
: experimental continuous firings of the jetpack, it seems that the player
: has only about 5-7 seconds of fuel (although a couple of times I seemed to
: have about 10 seconds....it tends to vary). That's not very much. If a
: player uses too much of the fuel on Newton (for whatever reason), then
: they might find themselves unable to complete Their Gamla. Perhaps Matt
: and Andrew put another one at the beginning in case a player is running
: low.
I thought of that, but discounted it for two reasons:
1) The player is expressly told not to use the jetpack on Newton and
2) Unless you empty your initial jetpack first, only players on TC will be able to pick it up.
One thing worth mentioning here - you don't need much fuel for all 3 times you need to use it on these 2 levels. There should still be plenty of fuel for the coming levels, and I can think of at least one instance in which it comes in very handy, but more on that later. Even in Omega, however, it can help you reach places you might otherwise not be able to, and to make reaching some of the ones they can a bit easier. The key is to use it sparingly. It shouldn't take more than a 1 second burn at any one time.
