Leave a Review Jetpack Joyride
Changes Are Bad, Edit: Fixed!
This is actually the first time I have bothered to write a review for any app after about 6 years of using the AppStore constantly. Jetpack Joyride was one of my favorite games of all time and I’ve had it for a really long time too. This new update is horrible. Half Brick converted their game into a scummy business formula that has been plaguing the gaming industry for the last 2-3 years. I also hope that the decision to erase everyone’s hard-earned progress and hard-bought commodities, like double coins, wasn’t taken lightly. I don’t even think they offered any compensation for people that had such things. All in all I’m deleting the game and pulling my support from Jetpack Joyride for this. I have better games to play that focus on entertainment rather than money.
Edit: Jetpack Joyride has been reverted to its original pure form. Thus the Developers go back to getting FIVE STARS from me! :DShow lessFluffyGrapes
Developer Response
Hey there! Please update the game to the latest version. You should then have the Classic Jetpack Joyride back. Enjoy! 😊Used to be fun, but...
I can no longer migrate the game as I upgrade devices. The only sync method left is via Facebook, and I don’t use that. I spent hours grinding through all the clothing, jetpacks, etc., but they’re stuck on an old device and I’m unable to move the game to my new iPad. Support has been unresponsive on the issue - I’ve reached out multiple times but they don’t reply.
June 21 update - I’ve received several unhelpful replies from Halfbrick support. One to ask if I still needed help. Another suggesting I upgrade to the latest version of the app - which I told them I was already running when I opened my support case. And one suggesting I try syncing with Facebook - which I told them I don’t have, which I also told them in my original support ticket. Their lack of a timely response is frustrating. But even more so is the apparent lack of effort they put into understanding a user problem report before responding. Seriously disappointed in their service.
June 28 update - No response since my last update. Halfbrick support has gone dark.
July 3 update - Halfbrick states the only method to transfer games is via Facebook. Ridiculous. The prior in-game method worked well enough for my needs. And Apple certainly offers a method. This should not need to use an unrelated service (Facebook) to manage game transfers. Pathetically slow response by Halfbrick and feature deprication keep this at a 1 star rating.Show lessW/P/B
Incredible Game!
Halfbrick, if you’re reading this, I’d just like to let you know that Jetpack Joyride is my favorite mobile game ever. I can’t stop playing this highly entertaining app, and it’s never boring. There’s almost always a mission at hand, or motivation by items, coins, or high scores, to keep you occupied. There hasn’t been a moment where I’ve wondered what to do next. I gave this app 5 stars because it’s just so entertaining. However, there is one request I’d like to make on behalf of my experience. I love Barry Steakfries, but I think you should add a female character (to purchase or win through S.A.M.) just for variety. Sure, you can buy the hula outfit or the makeup outfit, but there have been several times where I want to dress up a more feminine character in certain outfits. I’m not sure if my request is crazy or thoughtful, but I’d love for you to at least consider my reasoning. Thanks, stay awesome! 💕Show lessaddiebajaddie
Glitched Game/Gadgets in Shop?
Hi Halfbrick,
I just started playing Jetpack Joyride again after a couple years of not losing it, and I went to remind myself of what I had unlocked from the last time that I played it (gadgets, vehicle upgrades, etc.). When I did this, I noticed that I had the gadgets ‘Free Ride’ and ‘Coin Magnet’ equipped, which would make sense since that is what I would usually play with, but one thing that I noticed is that these things are able to be bought in section 5 of gadgets, and I can only equip them through part of section 3. The shop still tells me that I have all of section 3 unlocked, but I can’t select one of them in this section, and for later sections, it does not tell me how or when I can unlock the gadgets in these sections. Unless the feature that told you this information was removed in a past update, I hope you are able to figure out what has happened.
I am hoping you see this at some point or another. I really enjoy this game and hope it is not in this state for a long time.
EDIT: Hello again, it turns out that just force closing the app and re-opening it seemed to fix the above problem. Disregard my problem stated above, but this does seem like a strange bug with the game that only seemed to happen after opening it for the first time after at least a year.Show lessBubbatheWigglytuff

I got a skin for free
Ok so first of all I love this game. But I gotta admit high roller is the hardest achievement ever!!I’ve gotten to level a little higher then level 100. When I deleted the game and re downloaded it later I got the privilege of getting to be a test subject. But when I got a little stomper it said little chompper and gave me the skin. I did not buy this skin. When I looked at my little stomper in the store it didn’t say that I had the little chompper skin. I don’t know what happend. Mabel it was just because I was testing a new skin and I wasn’t aware but yeah.(I think the skin is really cool but just wanted to let you know I got it for free)EDIT: I got the rubber chicken too. This is cool. you should make the flash’s rubber chicken brown. Or whiteShow lessGbreakin
Screw Your Game
Now that I’ve started playing this game again, I noticed something with the SAM daily login bonus. It’s harder and harder to find all the letters the more you play continuously. After losing my streak, I started over again at day one and it was easy to gather the letters. It took two different runs. Before my streak ended, it took many runs. I shouldn’t have to do so many runs for something that is only open for a 24 hour window. People have things to do. I like the SAM vehicle, and I don’t like it when the game is keeping it from me simply because I’ve played more than two days in a row.
I also hate any company that forces video ads now my throat. You assume people using your app have the internet to waste on videos. You are forcing me to turn of my internet connection when I play to avoid a video every time I die.
This was s good game, and still is, but I don’t know if I want to start playing it again given that it’s annoying me.Show lessJet88.88
Best Game On The Market
Jetpack joyride is a fun game that can consume you and entertain you for long stretches of time. The game has good response time to your touch and plays exceptionally smooth all around. Graphically, the game on the iPhone is great. On the iPad, it seems a bit stretched and could use some fine tuning, but overall it looks good.
The game is great in that, it gets progressively harder the farther you make it. The game allows you to purchase various upgrades that will help you in your journey using coins. The coins are obtained by playing the game and are not difficult to obtain. I personally average around 1,000 coins per game, but more are definitely obtainable.
If you’re looking for a fun game you can grind on, this game won’t let you down.Show lessLifes2simple
Game roll back to classic, bug still resists but certainly much better
I would give five stars. I left one there just to remind myself how frustrated I was when the game changed into a cash grab mode all of a sudden.
And I would like to thank the support team for fixing the account issue for me. They’ve got great follow ups on user requests.
One thing I’d like to mention though, is the auto ad occurred in endgame phase when you have your Facebook account connected: those auto ads stop the slot machine from working and one has to quit the app entirely and lose the progress made. Right now I disconnect it so those ads won’t bother me. This is a serious bug that you guys need to fix. A word of advice: just don’t have it, I’m pretty ok with the ad options in doubling coin and extra life, it’s a immersion breaker, but not in a harsh way because users get the control.Show lessScar.Vaapad
Great/Cute/Addicting Game! Just one teeny, tiny problem
The game is great. I love playing it and it’s more addictive than stupid Candy Crush (which I got bored of in the first 13 minutes. And I’m not kidding either, I timed it). However the ads are the big problem. They are just everywhere. Like I don’t mind them because they aren’t shoved down your throat or anything, but sometimes an add will play that I can’t skip. And if it is one of those and it happens to not load due to bad service or whatever, the game will freeze and I’ll have to close the app and open it up back again. There is that feature where you can disable ads for $2 but if you’re not a spender for something small like that, I feel it’s best that the ads are toned down a bit, like every 5 plays or play an ad to double coins etc. That’s when it’s fine.Show lessLeDaveys
