Jetpack Joyride – Our review of a “classic” game we all love!

There are some games people “expect” you to know about. Have you ever been met with a blank stare after referencing a classic game every educated human being should know about? Such as PAC-MAN, TETRIS, BREAKOUT, or even PONG…

Jetpack Joyride is a mobile game every smart device owner needs to know about. Considered an Essential by the Apple App Store, and an Editors Choice on Google Play, this game is a game you need to have played(!) …or at least heard of…

Set in a secret laboratory where scientists clothed in full body suits invent weird and exotic jetpacks using almost everything you could ever imagine as propulsion, your mission in this game is to fly through this heavily defended laboratory without getting zapped, blasted, exploded or generally getting injured. In short, your mission is to survive…

Played using a simple “tap to initiate jetpack” gameplay system, Jetpack Joyride was “originally” a game about mostly running/jumping and avoiding obstacles. Pretty simple.

Now, Jetpack Joyride is still a game about running and avoiding obstacles, but with an incredible number of powerups and gimmicks to help you out along the way! With massive Robots, Dragons, Pets, and even Nerd-Repellant(!) to make your run just that little bit more interesting, this game is a classic game that seems to just get better and better!

If there is one aspect of the game that doesn’t seem to get better, it is probably the graphics once you reach 1000+ M in a run. At this point the graphics begin to move so fast they almost seem flickery and hard to look at… Although this will only ever be an issue for “awesome” players😉

Now that you’ve made it to the end of our review you have 1 of 2 choices,
