Whimsical, wobbly jetpack simulator Piloteer, from Pivvot maker Whitaker Trebella, is out this Thursday on iPhone and iPad.

The game's all about trying to master the loopy physics of a jetpack, which will sooner send you crashing head first into a lamppost than let you gracefully glide to your destination.

You're given missions to complete, but it's often more fun just to see your little character pinwheel off into the sky and then plonk into the ground, limbs flailing this way and that.

Piloteer

Think QWOP or Backflip Madness, but with much more rocket power.

In direct contrast to the bonkers, masochistic gameplay is a serene sketch-like aesthetic and dreamy piano score. That should help quell the unfathomable rage of failing 17 times in a row to land feet-first on a park bench.
