I'm having trouble getting the hang of controlling the JetPack. It seems inconsistent. Sometimes I have to hold it in to keep flying, and sometimes it just keeps going up and up, even though I've let go of the A button.
Any pointers?

on the psp you control the lift with the d-pad. from what i understand "A" on the wxbla does the same as "X" on psp wow, so my guess, the way you'd control it is just hit "A" once to activate the jet pack, and then use just the d-pad.

Press (A) to activate it. (note PRESS, not HOLD)
Use the left analogue to fly around.
(A) disengages it again, (Y) drops the selected weapon.

(X) drops the weapon, don't it?

No point in trying to act dumb, I know how good you are, you'll not catch me out if we ever cross worms.

a few people seem to fall to their deaths thinking A is 'power' for jetpacks. i cant really see where that came from as i cant remember any of the worms using 'weapon select' for anything apart from weapons. guess its stems from a different game, perhaps jet pac willy lol

worms 4 mayhem uses the fire key to power the jet pack. that's the most likely source of the confusion.

But honestly, how many people actually played that poor attempt of a game

"Poor attempt" - tell that to the 35+ people who workd for almost 2years on it.

Yeah-And tell that to the people who discovered tweaking, and are masters of it! Like _Kilburn.
Oh, and your avatar is FROM W4, anyway.
Yeah, I must admit that I was a little confused at first, but then remembered that in all the 2D games, you used the arrow keys.
