Jetpack

Screenshots1 / 3

A pixel-art level layout shows the word 'LETHARGIA' spelled out in large red brick letters across the top half. Below sits a fortress-like structure with gray stone walls, a wooden door in the center, and green platforms with blue floor tiles. A small character in red stands on the left side near a cyan pipe. The right side displays an inventory grid with blue item slots and green vines. Yellow diamonds hover throughout the brick letters and above the fortress. The entire scene uses a 16-bit sprite aesthetic with a dark gray background.

Jetpack Controls — DOS Keyboard Keys

Default keyboard bindings for Jetpack on our in-browser DOS emulator. Plug in a USB or Bluetooth gamepad to auto-detect mappings, or rebind any key from the emulator settings menu.

DOS games use the keyboard directly as the controller — there is no console-button mapping. Open the in-game documentation or check the game-specific options screen for the key layout used by this title.

Rebind any key from the EmulatorJS in-game settings menu (gear icon → Controls). A connected gamepad auto-maps to the same buttons.
