Leave a Review Jetpack Joyride
Used to be awesome, now it’s just okay
I used to play the heck out of this game, me and my dad were constantly competing against each other for the best record. Anyway, the progress and items used to rock. I remember that the in-game purchases were pretty low, but I gladly paid for the money doubler because I loved the game and it seemed worth it. But now ads are everywhere in the game, and everything requires multiple purchases. You can pay $1 to disable “pop-up ads” which is good, but that doesn’t stop the constant reminders to unlock different items by watching ads. The SAM skins all cost $2 each? That’s ridiculous. And the Back to the Future promotion is $10?? You don’t even get that much. All in all, if you were to buy everything in the store, it’d add up to around $50, and the content you get is just not worth it. Even if you did that, you still would be to buy anything else that they add in the future, so even then you don’t get the full game. Instead of spending $10 for some Back to the Future skins, you can use that money to buy a full game that doesn’t shove ads in your face and doesn’t need more in-game purchases. Sad to see such a great game go this greedy route, but it’s still fun for the most part. I really wish they would update the graphics though, they’re really fuzzy and haven’t really been updated despite all phones having HD displays now.Show lessHopper2004
Amazing! One Thing I Would Add...
First of all i would just like to say that i’m a huge fan of this game and i’ve been playing it since the very beginning. It’s such a fun and high speed never ending obstacle course that is always changing. I love every bit of this game how it is, however i would add an expensive feature that can be bought with a lot of coins where players build there own maps for either themselves or other players. If the game creators like this map they could add legit coins you could earn from it and make players able to complete challenges from it. HalfBrick Studios could add whatever they wanted to this idea but again it’s just an idea.Show lessThe Flufferfish
Overall great game, overpriced jet packs and costumes
Great game! I remember when I was about 4 and my mom gave me this on my iPad. Now I’m 12 and still playing on my phone! All time classic must play but the jet packs and costumes are very overpriced. Especially with how hard it is to get coins in the game. I’d make some of the costumes that are actually bang for your buck less overpriced. Like DJ Barry for instance. You would have to watch ad’s and get super lucky with the jackpot from the lottery machine for days to get a dubstep remix and some headphones. Maybe also make it to where you don’t have to grind for days to actually get the cool stuff during events. Such as the St Patrick’s day event. You would have to grind for like, 7 hours to get he unicorn. Anyway, overall great game, just maybe make it easier to get the coolest stuff in the game. Thank you if you are reading this and I recommend the game if you are willing to give up that cool outfit effect that makes you look cooler.
Thank you.Show lessR3viewer-101
Developer Response
Thanks for the feedback :) I'll pass that along to the team. Have a great day!Crazy Story and Great Game!
Back in 2012, I used to absolutely grind this game and I loved it so much! It was on this old iPad that was really thick. I guess I must have somehow lost it or something, but I found the old heffer a few months ago sitting in the attic in a box (for some reason.) So I put the thing on charge with this really weird cable that didn’t have a usb and it turned on (after a few days)!!! So I clicked the rubber home screen button and I got struck with so much nostalgia! From Subway Surfers, to this one, wonky game where you connect these colors or something... but best of all: Jetpack Joyride!!! I clicked on the game and started playing. I didn’t realize how long I was playing until I checked my phone and it said 6am! I started playing at around 4pm the day before! This game is so addicting! I have now completed the game 87 times in less than a month! I love it! It’s a fun, addicting game where you get so many options; from gadgets to quests! I LOVE it!!! And to all the Jetpack Joyride haters out there, get a life, think twice and treat Jetpack Joyride nice!!! WHOOO!!!Show lessJay Fares
Amazing game | IDEAS
So I recently saw the goku or Super Saiyan outfit in the clothes shop even tho it’s been in the shop for a while…(powered up hair and power suit) and I was think of some ideas for the character outfit
• trail/jetpack | it would be very nice if u guys could make a yellow glow and trail like they have in the shows/movies when ever they fly around…now for the beginning…when he smashes into the lab or through the wall he should have a little power up animation instead of grabbing a jetpack…
• mr cuddles skin | the flying nimbus instead of the dragon…head would be replace by the cloud and the body would get replaced by the nimbus trail…
• dog skin | i know this might not ever happen but I would like if u would replace the dog with the nimbus when ever the Super Saiyan outfit is equipped… the nimbus would just fly around on standby doing the same thing as the dog does but when ever u grab mr cuddles from a vehicle box the character would call the nimbus cloud over and ride it…
The game is amazing and fun to play the events are really cool too but I’d really love to see these ideas get put into the game some day :)Show lessthe_rules_of_survivle_god
Great
The audio is not working and the last time I played this,there were events such as the bling it on, the cut and run(an event celebrating the Anniversary of fruit ninja also made by Halfbrick), Zappy bird, and pirate pillage. Please fix the audio and add the said events. I will give it three stars if you do.
Disclaimer: I didn’t actually play through the pirate pillage or zappy bird events or even the more seasonal events, but I still want them in a future update.(Doesn’t even have to be the next update)
Update: The audio actually was working, but it was just muted. Please add the aforementioned events in a future update.
Update 2: have you considered adding event-exclusive final spin prizes?(e.g. random vehicle next round, tokens x4, tokens x6, tokens x8, tokens x10, tokens x12, tokens x14, tokens x16, etc)
Update 3: thank you for adding the events I requested to be added.
Update 4: When I opened the app, there was no tab for the Bling it on event. Pretty Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease fix this as soon as possible.
Update 5: I restarted the app and solved the problem. I totally love how if you already had the gold version of a vehicle prior to the event, you instead get a ton of coins. I am still wondering if you’re considering my suggestion from update 2. Please respond.Show lessAwesomenator 836
Ruined By Ads
well, i loved this game at one time. i still do. and it had been about 4 years since i had played it, so i came back to it because i spend countless hours on it years ago. i can still say i love the actual game and the features and everything you can do in it... but unfortunately, it’s turned into another game that has been almost completely ruined by advertisements. so many things require you to watch an ad to obtain that are free which isn’t the worst thing in the world, but it didn’t need to be implemented. i spent real money on this game before because i loved it so much and i’d honestly rather spend a dollar or 2 to permanently obtain something, rather than watch a million ads for it. the part that gets me the most upset is the fact that you could just play and play over and over again and accumulate your coins. now every few plays you’re forced to watch an ad for 30 seconds and it makes me just exit the game and turn the app off completely. it’s obnoxious. sadly i still love the game so i will likely continue to play, just can’t sit and play for an hour and collect coins and buy items from the shop like i used to... unfortunately i would have given a 5 star rating had the ads not made this game a complete disappointment now, but you get 3 stars. ads are ruining everything and when i saw this game bombarding me with them, i was sad. so that was enough for me to take 2 stars away.Show lessTeeJay797
Disappointed with the bugs.
It’s still the same game that I remember from 3 years ago, save for the extra ads. The ad rewards are also very obviously overtuned. These things are fine, however there’s one extremely annoying bug where the music just stops playing, and I think it has something to do with the audio from ads. The possibility that the bug might be the result of an ad just really rubs me the wrong way.
The bug causes the music to stop working, even when you restart the app. It plays normally for a few seconds, then when you start your run, the screen drops in FPS and the music stops playing.
Other than that, the game is fine. I’ve only been playing for 2-3 days though, so I’m hoping I don’t find any more issues. I liked playing this game when I was younger, and I’m glad it didn’t change too much. It’s a good way to pass the time.Show lessJE22602
This game is amazing!
I’m not one for writing reviews, but I just had to say how great this game is. I thought this game was a one time “play for a day then delete the next” but I was VERY WRONG. I use to play this game a while back and yet I still find it entertaining ‘till this day! The missions keep me hooked as well trying to beat my record (Which is pretty hard for me!) Coins are SUPER easy to obtain so you don’t have to spend hours trying to get that flashy Outfit or Jetpack you want (I’m look looking at you Gold Plated Sharkhead). The events keep me interested by trying to unlock all those free gifts. Mobile games now aren’t as good as how it was, but this game has always been great. Oh yeah not to mention you are FAR from a money hungry company you make everything POSSIBLE to get! Not to mention you give us more than enough time to collect event items to laugh at our friends for missing out on. Oh not to mention the music! Easter S.A.M’s theme is AMAZING! It’s really catchy as well as the rest of the soundtrack! If there is anything this game has done great on is the Sound FX and Music, keep up the good work!
My few complaints would have to be when a pop-up comes up the music stops playing and will randomly cut back on even when music isn’t muted. Also some new missions would be great maybe something with Smashing Floor lights or the Glass on the ground...Show lessVery Oh Yeah Yeah
Timeless Masterpiece to Master of Time Waste
When I got this game on my iPod Touch it was an amazing game that I played for hours upon hours with the fun challenges and gunning down scientists with their own bullet powered Jetpack. I’ve revisited the game over the years and it’s always a fun trip, when they added ads at the end of runs it was a bit annoying but if they feel that is necessary to make money Then I support it. However, when I tried to get back into this game recently and I was taken aback by the astonishingly aggressive nature they have taken to get you to watch ads and pay money. Every 30 seconds I was presented with wiggling spend-money buttons, “promotion sales” and non-skipable ads galore. I’m sure there would be a larger fan base and more people willing to spend money on this game if they were to go back to the time when it was not so riddled with ads and progression blocks should you not spend money. It’s a disgusting practice and it’s unfortunate that it infiltrated a game I was so fond of as a kid.Show lessetherealcobra
