JetPack Joyride

JetPack Joyride Review

by on October 11, 2012

There is something of an art to create a game that feels like it has been around forever. With the amount of retro revivals hitting the Android Store, one look at Jetpack Joyride and you would assume that the game came from the 90s, such is the brilliant 16-bit look and feel of the game.

In reality it was created by Halfbrick Studios in 2011 and it took almost a year for the game to migrate from iOS to Android. Thankfully, the wait has been worth it thanks to the instant likeability of Joyride.

In the game, you play Barry Steakfries a person whos nabbed a jetpack from a local laboratory and you have to navigate your way through obstacles and collect coins and the like on the way.

With the navigation being one-touch, Jetpack Joyride is a, well, joy to play. Its addictive too but that was always going to be the case, given that the game was made by the same studio that brought Fruit Ninja to the world.

Each level has a three-star system (told you it would be addictive) and once you have enough coins you can go and by a number of accessories.

Originally only available on the Amazon Appstore but now in Google Play, Jetpack Joyride is a fantastic timeless timewaster.
