Leave a Review Jetpack Joyride
Good, but could be better😓
This is the app I come back to to kill time when I’m bored. It is single handedly the best mobile phone game on the App Store but I have my gripes with it, no. 1 it showered me in ads to the point where it got annoying, I understand you guys at the halfbrick team need to make money, but the amount you push ads is ridiculous. No. 2 it lacks in some of the actual content, and relies more on purchases. It reduces content, so I advise to make an alternative to getting paid content with in game cash. I’m not saying to remove the purchases altogether, but make an alternative. Otherwise it’s a great and entertaining experience for what’s in a free game. So props to halfbrick. This is my summary of the game, fun addictive and entertaining, honestly it’s not for everyone but I personally recommend it.Show lesslord of neon
Zapper-pack Nightmare
I was having fun with this game but then I realized that I can only play for a total of 7 seconds at a time due to the SINFUL amount of zappers they put in this game. This game consists of 15% add breaks, 5% gameplay, and 80% transversing one of the most annoying obstacles ever created just so you can get back to enjoying your game.
I wonder how that office conversation went with the design team.
“Oh, hey Jim! Should we install new and clever obstacles for our players to face?”
“That sounds like a good idea! But I have a better one!” Said Jim as he rubbed rapidly melting ice cubes on his nipples
“Let’s just junk the other obstacles and put like a bunch of zappers. Like a LOT of zappers. Like, Michael, look into my eyes.” Michael tries to turn away but Jim’s grip is too strong. He can feel his fingertips pressing against his skull like vice grips. Michael stares in horror as Jim’s eyes role back into his skull and the light is pulled from the room around him.
“JUST. PUT. MORE. ZAPPERS! My queen demands it!” Jim bellows and unearthly screech as the office fills with an ungodly amount of poorly angled zappers. At this point, Michael knows his fate is sealed. Not because of the Lovecraftian monstrosity that became of his friend, but of the fact that he is surround by the worst obstacle designed in mobile gaming history.Show lessBean_Beater
Amazing
If there ever was a moble game I found myself playing a lot when I was younger, Jetpack Joyride was the game. I don’t know what makes it so addictive, but it sure is dangerously addictive! Those moments where you fly miles without missiles or zappers stopping you are truly satisfying. One downside though I’ve noticed ( and idk if this happens to anyone else) the music just stops playing either before I start, or during gameplay. Please get it fixed, because the last thing I need is Barry Steakfries flying through a lab with a machine gun Jetpack without accompanying music to bring it all together. Can’t wait for the sequel!Show lesserrrrrrror
Different Rank System?
While a decently fun game, I can’t help but complain about the redundant ranking system. You have three “missions” to complete which involve passing red lights, barely escaping death by lasers/missiles, and cover distances on foot/in certain vehicles. Each has their own 1-3 star value towards leveling you up, but you need like 3, then 6, then 9 or so stars to level up. It has virtually no challenge or incentive since you only need to finish like three missions to easily level up. The badge system (a lá Xbox) is better as it takes stats from all the time you played the game and uses different ranks of their own, which is actually a lot cooler, but also need coin/second chance rewards too. The badges should be merged with the ranking system. Nitpicking I know but this star system isn’t fun.Show lessSultanofswag89
Good game but frustrates me sometimes
I used to play this a while back and it was really fun as it is now but the one thing that frustrates me is that I’m losing thousands of coins and the event currency because the ads to double the prizes won’t load and I lose my coins, event currency, and it uses up all of my revives. Typically I don’t write reviews like this because I usually don’t run into this problem. Other than the issue that I was having it’s a good game and should definitely have more stuff added in like more Jetpacks or other types of costumes. Keep up the good work but please if you can I would like my coins and revives back.Show lessinferno leader
Ruined by ads
This was one of my favorite games and played pretty much every day but it has not only so many ads but 30 to 45 second ads to 30 seconds of gameplay. It plays a 20 second ad then another 15 second ad about the same thing then 20 seconds of gameplay followed by 30 to 45 seconds of ads. 👎🏼 I stopped playing 85 % of my games on my phone a few years back because of ads and every time I go back into play a game it just disappoints so much I end up deleting the app. I haven’t bought or downloaded a game in over two + years and I am reminded why every time I go on to play or download an app why I don’t use the App Store anymore. It makes no sense I use to spend $10 to $15 a month on games but we got the game the whole game with no adds now we have to pay three times as much for a game and it’s still full of adds 🤷🏻♂️greed has ruined the App Store and lost a ton of support in the process because of money hungry developers. I fully think you should be paid for your work and apps but to charge and then put ads in it anyway then find ways to get more and more money out of you this pay to play is ridiculous. Another old once great app gone deleted.Show lessIrishgunslinger
Developer Response
Hello, Thanks for your review. We've added advertising in order to allow us to continue to update the game while keeping it free to play for everyone. Making an in app purchase (such as the 10,000 coin pack) will disable advertising permanently. Thanks!Engaging and Fun!
Not a lot of words can describe the enjoyment you can get from a game like this. The pixel art designs are sleek, the animations are clean, and the music and interactions with small things like the scientists are something I can get attracted to for a while. Though the large expense of the items can be a bit obnoxious, they can pay off with the cool designs in vehicles or the helpfulness in powers and gadgets that can change the gameplay drastically. The only thing I can truly complain about is the large amount of items that need real world money, which is so many items that it feels like the game was made by EA. Other than that, I’m happy to say that the feeling of this game exceeds the title of a “good” mobile game. I hope the developers can create more with this game.Show lessMobileExplorer
The Perfect Mobile Game To Ever Exist.
This game is PERFECT in every way. Oh, you died? Thats ok, just watch one ad (30 secs long but worth it at the end) and you can either ride S.A.M. Or come back to life! Died again? Just watch another one! You get tons of choices for heads (the way your head looks) and choices for suits! Oh, what about the jetpacks? Yeah theres options for jetpacks too! Need some help? Get some gadgets or upgrade your power-ups! Tired of just jet-packing endlessly? Try doing some missions that will reward you with stars, and when you get enough stars, you can rank up and earn a reward of coins! Now playing on a weak device makes it difficult to play, but still works. AND THERES MORE GAMES WITH BARRY (the main character if jetpack joyride) IN IT!!!!! I would put more things in here, but theres to many things to put all in one list!Show lessAiden Woolley
Save the Scientists! 👨🔬💚👍 [Please read, Halfbrick!]
Dear Halfbrick,
I love Jetpack Joyride, and I’ve been playing since 2013. This game is so enjoyable and unique; I never get tired of it. The characters are lovable and there is so much content to collect.
However, I feel very strongly that the poor little innocent Scientists of Legitimate Research should not be harmed! They are my favourite characters, and I hate to see them get hurt. Could you PLEASE add an Option or Gadget that makes them impervious to damage? I want to see them walking around their lab, and I don’t mind them running scared — I just don’t want them to get hurt in any way. They didn’t do anything wrong, and they are helpless little inventors! They’re so endearing and funny; I love your videos about them, and I know you care about them too. Barry even high-fives them, and they invent everything for Barry. . . Why would he hurt them? What he does to them when riding the Hog is just awful — why gun them down like a maniac!? That makes Barry look really evil... I know the Scientists don’t “die”, but please add an option or create a Gadget to disable this violence toward the Scientists. I love them so much, and a lot of people, as you know, would appreciate an Option not to hurt the Scientists! Please!?
Save the Scientists! 👨🔬👍
Sincerely,
“Techno” from Legitimate ResearchShow lessLittle Fireball
ADS!!!!!!!!
Okay. I want to start out with saying that this game is very fun(almost addictive). It’s very easy to play this game and the almost-monthly events provide a nice way to get more gear. Some times, you’ll check the Costumes tab and realize that you have costumes you didn’t even know about. I’ve been playing this game for a long time and it has been a great investment of my storage. I would give it 5 stars, but.....
THE ADS!!!!!
Recently, they have added a new type of ad. This ad shows you a playable video, an overview of the content in the video, an “Open” button and a “Close” button. When you click on the “Close” button, nothing happens. When you click on the other button, it opens a website. I have opened the website AND watched the video, but I STILL cannot close the ad. If any developer part of the team that created this game sees this, please respond or change this. Besides that, I have no problems with this game( except that they have made the sleigh and the boat vehicles locked unless you pay for it, but they didn’t have this a couple of years ago) and I love the gameplay. Thanks for reading this, and have a great day. 😁Show lesslol924
