I) INTRODUCTION AND LEGAL INFORMATION [INT1]
=====================================
Hello. This is my guide to the addictive arcade-style side-scrolling
shoot-em-up bloodbath that is Jets'n'Guns. I'd first like to point out that I
don't have too detailed level guides (unless there is something that needs
noting, of course) because of the simple fact that you don't, most of the time,
need a complete flight guide for the mission, or whatever. Just pull the
trigger and survive, right? ;) But, um, I discovered that I compulsively enjoy
collecting obscure bits of lists and such, which is why there is a lot of
tested weapons, and such. Most of this guide is based on the easy difficulty
mode, as most newer players choose the easiest mode when they start, and also
because I suck at playing hard modes.
And now for something completely different. Because what do introductions and
legal information have to do with each other? Hm...

reason, to copy or modify anything in this document. Permission is granted for
anyone to sell this document in original or in modified form, and if you

tell me all about it. Every laugh is a good laugh. You may, without my
permission, post this guide or any derivatives anywhere, but I'll only be
updating the copy at GameFaqs.com.
Now, if you for any reason feel the need to contact me (deathbypie@gmail.com),
please put "Jets'n'Guns Guide" or something similar as the subject.
Alternatively, put "hawt gheysecks xxx" as the subject. Either way, I'm likely
to read each one. Oh, hello. Didn't see you there, chap.
Here's a cookie for reading all that. Now go play in traffic.
=====================================
II) GAME MECHANICS [GAM2]
=====================================
As with other games in the genre, you fly around in your little spaceship, and
one-handedly slaughter fleets of enemy fighters. Shooting down ships and
blowing up buildings earns you money, so before every new mission in
Jets'n'Guns you may buy and sell equipment for your ship. The key to success is
investing your money in good equipment.
Because the game is a side-scroller, gravity plays a larger roll. For example,
most larger ships leave behind wrecks when defeated, which may fall down and
smash into buildings, troops or other things on the ground. Also, Rake in
Grass chose to make a side-scroller because of the visual humor they could
insert. So enjoy it, man.
You have a total of five weapon slots. Three of them are at the front, one at
the rear, one is for bombs and one is for missiles. Additionally, you may
upgrade the ship itself in different ways with a large number of internal
special devices, such as upgrading armor, the motor, installing cracker
software and other neat stuff.
Most weapons cause heat. If your ships overheat because of your weapons, there
is a short period where you cannot use your weapons, and your ship cools down.
As you upgrade your cooling system, the cool-down period gets shorter, and you
can fire for longer periods of time with your weapons.
There are three difficulty modes.
Novice - start with 100.000 Z and easy enemies. Enemy shots do less
damage.
Standard Hero - start with 80.000 Z and "normal" enemies.
Veteran - start with 60.000 Z and tough enemies. Enemy shots do more
damage. In this mode, it's vital that you evade every single
enemy shot possible, because every shot seriously counts.
Superman - Available after beating the game on Veteran.
In most levels there are checkpoints. If you pass one and die later in the
level, you will of course restart by the checkpoint, taking no penalty at all.
Of note is the excellent soundtrack, composed by the SID metal group Machinae
Supremacy. SID Metal is a cross between power metal and bitpop, so the music
definately adds a little something for this game by sounding futuristic AND
rockin'. Can't imagine another type of music to be hearing when pounding
enemies and avoiding energy bolts.
Now, just because I can, I'm going to list the default controls and the
controls that I use.
+--------------+DEFAULT-----+MY-CONTROLS--+
|MOVE LEFT |Left, O, 4 |A |

|REMCON |Shift, N |Mouse Middle |
|ROTARY CAGE + |Comma, Z |Q |
|ROTARY CAGE - |Period, X |E |
+--------------+------------+-------------+
As you can see, I play the game like most play a first-person shooter, which I
like. Anyway, asdasdasd.
+-----------------------------------+
A) MISSION 1: ALCHEMY [MISA]
+-----------------------------------+
You start the mission with a weak ship with very limited weapon slots and
available upgrades. You've been hired to take out some polluting scum, and
you'll have to destroy 50 of their habitation cells to complete the level.
Before you start, you should do as the game tips you, spend all your cash on
weapons and weapon upgrades. The Carnage TV Transmission Set is an early and
cheap upgrade something you might like, as it increases money gained from
killing infantry men, especially if they are slaughtered en masse.
The mission itself is fairly easy. Lots of frail targets to destroy, but watch
out for the pieces of wreckage which fly when you destroy a cell, it's not a
great idea to destroy cells which are very close to you.
Music: Machinae Supremacy - Fanvacoolt (Men Om Nånting)
New weapons:
La Fontaine, 15.000 Z
Scorpio PG, 25.000 Z
Daisycutter Mk. II, 35.000 Z
Pink Panther, 42.000 Z
Autotrack MG, 35.000 Z
Wanted: Zombieman, 10.000 Z
Cash raised: 100.000 Z+ and a mission record worth 30.000 Z.
+-----------------------------------+
B) MISSION 2: BANDIT [MISB]
+-----------------------------------+
Col. Troubleman, an old friend, has contacted you. It seems he needs your help.
The space villain Xoxx has showed up again, and he is planning the destruction
of the universe. Xoxx' pirates have kidnapped Professor von Hamburger who was
working on a quantum cannon. The professor's daughter, Erecta, wants you to try
and save him, as the space police are terribly inefficient.
The objective in this mission is to steal the TMIG-226 Fighter, as you'll need
lots of firepower for the upcoming missions. You'll be infiltrating the FeX
storage complex, and when you reach the ship, you must destroy three power
field generators to free the ship. Your ship will start transporting the TMIG
with a tractor beam, but be very careful when flying out, because the TMIG is
damaged by enemy fire and crashing into walls. If it is destroyed you lose.
The level tip says that you are to fly on jetpack through the mission. This,
however, is not the case. My guess is that they changed the level, but forgot
to update the level tip.
Music: Machinae Supremacy - Koala in the Spider's Web
New weapons:
None
Wanted: No one
Cash raised: 100.000 Z+
+-----------------------------------+
C) MISSION 3: CONNECTION [MISC]
+-----------------------------------+
Your new ship is much more upgradable. Four ship features can be improved:
cooling, armor, speed and manoeuverability. In addition, a whole slew of other
special devices have been made available.
You are now travelling to the United Space Ship Impotence, to meet Colonel
Troubleman face-to-face. There are a lot of pirates who would rather stop you
though, as always. The level features a boss, but it is impossible for you to
defeat him at this time.
At the end of the level huge waves of pirates will appear. Luckily, the USS
Impotence is within firing range, and it makes short work of them.
Music: Machinae Supremacy - Megascorcher, Machinae Supremacy - Escaping the
Krut
New weapons:
Radiator Mk. III, 52.000 Z
Tornado Railgun, 94.000 Z
Incubus, 45.000 Z
This mission is your first ground mission. You need to buy some bombs. You must
attack a smuggling base, and annihilate the pirates.
There is a boss at the end, who is made up of three different parts, which have
different weapons. Avoid fighting the parts from the front, equip a rear weapon
and fight their backs when possible. When there is only one part left, it will
follow you around, so fly around it, shooting when you can.
Music: Machinae Supremacy - Flight of the Toyota
New weapons:
Charge Generator, 500.000 Z
Pulse Gun, 70.000 Z
Flea Circus, 110.000 Z
Baker, 44.000 Z
Monkey Maniac, 65.000 Z
Wanted: No one
Cash raised: 500.000 Z+
+-----------------------------------+
E) MISSION 5: ELECTRIC [MISE]
+-----------------------------------+
This is another ground mission, and you're going to crash a Machinae Supremacy
concert. You'll have hundreds of infantry pirates to slaughter. You'll need
some good anti-ground weapons to rake in the cash. As long as you can take care
of the ground units, this mission will be a breeze.
Music: Machinae Supremacy - Hero
New weapons:
Tectonic Laser, 90.000 Z
Skywalker HG, 175.000 Z
Wanted: Casanova, 20.000 Z
Cash raised: 100.000 Z+
Space level with asteroids. Your mission is to find an agent who has gone
missing in the lawless Insomnia Starpub Commercial Sector. Try not to blow up
asteroids which are very close to you, they split up, and you may get hit
anyway.
Be sure to pick up all the gold bonuses you see, as there are plenty. Also,
watch out for the dragon ship near the end of the level.
Music: Machinae Supremacy - Erecta my Hamburger Baby
New weapons:
Superkiller Mk. 1, 210.000 Z
ManicMiner, 267.000 Z
Homing Missile, 90.000 Z
Cauldron, 120.000 Z
Pirates have taken over the planet Plop Alpha, and you need to liberate it.
It's a long ground mission, so make sure you have all the ground stuff ready.
This level's boss has lots of front weapons, but none at the back, so either
get a good rear gun or switch around weapons once you reach the boss. If you
have good bombs, drop them when you are flying over him. This is very
effective.
Music: Machinae Supremacy - Little Green Men
New weapons:
Acid Gun, 150.000 Z
J.C. Superstar 33, 270.000 Z
Mine Deployer, 90.000 Z
Wanted: The Chef, 15.000 Z
Cash raised: 600.000-700.000 Z+, Hypershopping Golden Card worth 70.000 Z, Plop
Fragmentation Gun.
A fiery ground mission on Erebus 666. There is a Robotruck in this level which
can be taken over with the RemCon. It will demolish everything in its way, if
you do activate it.
The boss, Crtex, has an unprotected back, so use a rear gun on him. After
dealing some damage he'll say "I'll be back, have fun!" and summon a robot
warrior. Fire everything you've got against the robot, including bombs, when it
first appears, then watch out when it jumps around. It'll shoot some beams from
the head at you, then jump up and shoot lots of shots forwards. When that
happens, fly low and shoot at its legs. He may also shoot homing missiles,
but hose are easy to destroy. Eventually, he'll start losing body parts, and
becomes a little easier.
Neither the professor or the Quantum Cannon was found on the planet, so the
team needs new clues...
Music: Machinae Supremacy - Lava Trouble Bubble, Machinae Supremacy - Dududub
Dududum
New weapons:
Boomerang Blaster, 605.000 Z
Blackfist Mortar, 650.000 Z
ElectroBall, 900.000 Z
Rodeo, 64.000 Z
MineWeb, 140.000 Z
Plop Fragmentation Gun, 0 Z (level reward)
Wanted: Frankenstein, 50.000 Z
Cash raised: 500.000 Z+
...which may be found in the Zogrim sector. The Zogrims may be co-operating
with pirate clans. Also, the Zogrims' propaganda looks suspiciously similar to
that of Nazi Germany's. Hur hur hur.
Well, the Zogrims have detected you, and are hunting you down. But you've
located a pirate tanker docking in their starport, so you must get there and
attempt to shoot it down. Fight your way through the cityscape.
Now the pirate ship, the boss, has a few attacks. It has turrets (which can be
destroyed) and can launch homing missiles. You have a limited amount of times
until the ship can hyperjump out of your reach.
Music: Machinae Supremacy - Zogrim Ate My Hamster
New weapons:
VX-MB Laser, 680.000 Z
Zombie BLues PG, 750.000 Z
Hammerhead, 720.000 Z
Discoteque 3000, 250.000 Z
Autotron AIR, 80.000 Z
Wanted: Baron Bofuru, 40.000 Z
Cash raised: 450.000 Z+
The Zogrims so fanatic in their defense that you have no choice but to escape
via the "Alien Zone", a forbidden area. Enjoy the most interesting enemies in
the game, man are they awesome looking.
Armor pick-ups are taken from ship-wrecks in this level, so blow up any of
those you spot.
The boss is an odd alien fetus which has dangerous mental wave attacks, and it
can take a lot of damage. It also releases alien eggs which should be destroyed
as soon as possible.
Music: Machinae Supremacy - Insectoid, Machinae Supremacy - Archangels of
Sidaroth
New weapons:
None
Lord Krutor and his enormous battleship just found you. Fight your way under
the ship. As the level tip suggests, don't try to kill everything, just the
stuff that gets in your way. Don't wory, because a lot of stuff WILL get in
your way, hur hur.
The boss is quite tough, as parts of him are invulnerable. Destroy
all the guns on him, but watch out for the biggest one (you'll know which one
that is when you see it). The boss occasionally releases some strange squid
things, too, take those out or you may get hit by their shots. When all the
other guns are gone, wait until the two parts of the ship move apart and reveal
the big gun. Shoot it until it starts firing, which is when you should take
cover. As long as you keep hitting the gun it won't be able to hit you, but
keep an eye on the heat... Once the main part explodes, the screen will flash
the text "Finish him! Show no mercy!", and the smaller front part can be blown
up. Woooh.
Music: Machinae Supremacy - Hyperchase, Machinae Supremacy - Knee-deep in the
Xoxx
New weapons:
Banzai Rammer, 1.920.000 Z
CHAOS PTG, 752.000 Z
Black Friday, 120.000 Z
Wanted: Baracuda, 30.000 Z
Cash raised: 1.000.000 Z+
Communications with the Glutosians have informed you of the presence of a
pirate base on Coldfoot Epsilon, an ice moon. Prepare yourself for a ground
mission.
This level has an interesting boss. It's a huge, flying submarine (although
technically, above water it would be called a supermarine), complete with
torpedoes and all that. Fire your weapons at the front part, avoiding the
torpedoes, and bomb the top part when you get the chance. Should be pretty
easy.
Music: Machinae Supremacy - Burghammer Hill
New weapons:
FPG-8E Cremator, 1.000.000 Z
S.T.Y.X., 960.000 Z
Phoenix, 150.000 Z
Autotron GROUND, 91.000 Z
Wanted: Go-Naghu-Ruma, 65.000 Z
Cash raised: 900.000 Z+
+-----------------------------------+
M) MISSION 13: MARINER [MISM]
+-----------------------------------+
Seems like the reason no large buildings were observed on the surface was that
they are in fact underwater! Your ship has been equipped with a special casing
so it will function in a liquid enviroment as well as it does in a vacuum
enviroment, note that the ship is a bit slower underwater, however. However,
the casing does not allow for missiles or bombs. Sell any of those weapons and
invest in other things, at least for the time being.
Music: Machinae Supremacy - Kings of the Sea
New weapons:
XETEC Moongun, 880.000 Z
Belzebub Mortar, 1.22.000 Z
General Pig, 215.000 Z
Pirates have invaded the Glutosians home-planet, so prepare for a ground
mission. Meanwhile, Erecta von Hamburger has grown tired of waiting for you to
rescue her father, and she is going to do something on her own.
At the end of the level you will encounter a warp gate, made for invading this
planet. If you wish, you may stay awhile and avoid shooting at the gate (if
possible), and make some extra cash by taking down the infinites waves of
enemies coming out. Anyway, destroy the gate, but there will be some dire
consequences. Like being trapped in a time warp.
Music: Machinae Supremacy - Futuremachine
New weapons:
None
So here you are, trapped in a strange time warp, and you have no idea when or
where you'll be dropped off... There is no one to talk to, but strangely, you
are able to shop.
Seems like you've appeared near the FeX complex, where the adventure began, a
couple of hours before your "Bandit" mission. Fight your way through the
complex.
There is a section in this level which may very well be the game's most
annoying. You'll encounter a "Dictator Quantum Devesator" (and you may
recognize the sign, but not the weapon, from the "Bandit" mission) inside a
glass container. You must break the glass, and then you'll encounter a solid
metal wall, which you cannot penetrate (this you may also recognize, but in a
broken state...). Well, the Quantum Devesator will fire, breaking the metal,
and the best place to hide is is the space above the metal, and not below. I
learned that the hard way.
After the Quantum Devestator part, you'll encounter an area where cows are
dropped from above, and slam into the ground. That's somewhat odd.
The level ends with a warp gate. Woooh!
Music: Machinae Supremacy - Lord Krutor's Dominion
New weapons:
None
Intelligence has concocted a plan B. They have found some very powerful alien
technology on another planet, and you need that technology.
There are little green towers here and there in the level. Destroy them to
release some research data. You will need 100% data to complete the mission,
if you reach the end with incomplete data, the mission has failed. Don't worry
though, there's more than enough towers available.
Music: Machinae Supremacy - SpacePunX
New weapons:
Tsunami Generator, 2.400.000 Z
Vulcan DZN, 1.640.000 Z
Wanted: No one
Cash raised: 800.000 Z+ and the Chroniton Rifle.
+-----------------------------------+
Q) MISSION 17: RED HELL [MISQ]
+-----------------------------------+
You've recieved a hot new piece of weaponry, the Chroniton Rifle, a very
powerful gun when fully upgraded.
Crtex has kidnapped poor Erecta. That, of course, means you are going to blow
him to hell. The entire level is just a short boss fight, so bring your best
weapons and kick his arse. Just shoot and avoid his shots and he'll be dead in
no time at all.
Music: Machinae Supremacy - Dududub Dududum
New weapons:
Omnigun NT-2, 1.710.000 Z
SunTEQ Sunray, 1.800.000 Z
Banjo, 200.000 Z
Chroniton Rifle, 0 Z (level reward)
The science team has come up with a frankly suicidal plan. You have to fly to a
distant part of the galaxy, where a ruined government project exists. It is a
supercomputer that was too smart for its own good, and is totally out of
control. Perhaps the supercomputer Oppenheimer XP knows something we need to
know.
The boss is somewhat difficult. You must constantly move to survive, or you'll
get hit by its lasers. Destroy it all and the "Fart-chitect" will appear,
giving you a data disk with the required information. However, when you take
it, the back-up security system will activate, which seems to be a game of
Invaders. Destroy 'em all, but be wary of their powerful shots, avoid all the
shots fired when they first appear, and you'll do fine, as they shoot less
often after those.
Anyway, something, as always, seems to go wrong when they are defeated. Falling
glyphs and letters, "Matrix code", that is, starts appearing, and the text "Oh,
shit! Something's going really bad" flashes. You get out of there alive,
luckily. But barely, or something.
Music: Machinae Supremacy - Escaping the Krut
New weapons:
Terrion Emitter, 2.000.000 Z
Wanted: Crocodile Debie, 85.000 Z
Cash raised: 1.600.000 Z+
With the information taken from the supercomputer, the Professors location has
been located in an asteroid. You'll need an anti-ground weapon to hit the
reactor coolant system, which will destroy the asteroid.
Music: Machinae Supremacy - Death from Above
New weapons:
Kaiser Franz 650, 1.350.000 Z
Zion Generator, 2.300.000 Z
Wanted: No one
Cash raised: 1.500.000 Z
+-----------------------------------+
T) MISSION 20: UNION [MIST]
+-----------------------------------+
Klaxxon is escaping the asteroid by train. Kill him. An interesting ground
level, with lots of things to shoot. The boss, a clown head, is pretty easy
too, just dodge its shots and fire away.
Music: Machinae Supremacy - Flames of Fire
New weapons:
None
The Lord Chaos Mk. I is ready to fire. You have to fly in there and stop Xoxx
from destroying the universe. This is the toughest level in the game, but you
can make it with your superior firepower.
The boss is probably the oddest in the game. Shoot the arms and missiles, and
it will grow new arms. Cannon turret arms. When 50% of its health is gone, the
"censored" box vanishes, revealing a washing machine full of corpses. Hm.
When the boss is dead, a notice appears. Xoxx is fleeing in his back-up washing
machine, and it is already too late! Well, we're doomed...
+-----------------------------------+
V) THE END [MISV]
+-----------------------------------+
...or are we? After the credits roll by (as well as various space debris),well
look at that! A time warp, how handy! You're taken to the start of the game,
keeping all your equipment, but on a higher difficulty level. Wheeeee.

"0123", check if any of the numbers are correct, then enter "4567" to check if
any of those are correct. After that, one has enough information to arrange the

Carnage TV Transmission Set enables point bonuses for killing large amounts of
troopers. There are a few different types of infantry:
* Ground - the usual type, in green uniforms. They wield machineguns and
rocket launchers. Sometimes use jetpacks.
* Space - Troopers in spacesuits wielding blasters. They usually have
jetpacks.
* Divers - Troopers in diving gear. They have harpoon guns.
--[Ground-based turrets]--
Immobile cannons of different sorts which may be destroyed. They may be
machineguns, rocket launchers, energy cannons, among other things.
--[Small ships]--
There are numerous ships which fit the description "small ship". Most of them
have low health and are killed easily with any up-to-date weapon. Small ships
usually leave behind small wrecks. Beware, however, that there are some small
ships that go down easily but deceptively have very strong weapons.
--[Medium ships]--
Medium ships are ships that are larger than small ships, and can take a little
more damage. They leave behind wrecks that crash into the ground.
--[Large ships]--
Huge behemoths that may not be boss-class, but are usually pretty strong. They
always crash into the ground when downed. These ships may have superior
weapons, and some drop parachuting troopers. Some large ships are inserted in
places where the player does not have good weapons, as a sort of teaser for
what's to come.
--[Pirate boss ships]--
When the Bounty Hunter License is purchased for 200.000 Z, pirate boss ships
are made available in some levels. These enemies are essentially mini-bosses,
and when defeated you capture a pirate boss. Their attacks vary greatly.
--[Boss-class ships]--
The biggest of big bad boys. Bosses are usually at the end of the level, and
must be defeated to progress. The exceptions are the bosses in the early
levels, which cannot be defeated by the normal player, and are there only to
challenge.
