Lunar Jetman is a horizontally scrolling shooter developed and published by Ultimate Play the Game.

[3] Similarly to its predecessor, the player can move around slowly on foot, or use a jetpack to leave the ground and navigate the planet faster.

In addition to the jetpack, the player has a lunar rover for ground travel, inside of which they are invulnerable to damage.

[5] Gameplay itself requires Jetman to locate and destroy a series of alien bases on the surface of the planet.

The player will be given a limited time to intercept and destroy the missile aimed at the rover, thus preventing a game over.

[4] Home Computing Weekly also praised the presentation, stating that the colour and animation were "superb", whilst expressing the gameplay as "disgustingly addictive".

[9] Brian Buckley of ZX Computing praised the game's advanced graphics and effects, stating that extraordinary attention had been paid to detail and that every usage of sound and colour was "excellent".

[11] Home Computing Weekly placed Lunar Jetman third in their "Top 10 programs for the ZX Spectrum" in a later 1983 issue.
