### 4/5 — Really good and addictive game, BUT.

*2026-08-22, version 1.104.1*

Jetpack Joyride has been one of the games that has made up some of my childhood.

The gameplay is pretty addictive. That it got my dad onto it (though not for long).

Nowadays, it’s still kinda going strong, I got back into it because I played Dan The Man, and they were offering a free Dan costume in Jetpack Joyride. So that’s why I kinda got into it and mobile games in general.

Also, I LOVE the addition of “Barry’s secret stash”, if you can handle ads, it the best way to get free extra lives, coins and triple boosts.

But, I have complaints.
Ads aren’t as much of a problem then Dan The Man, but yet again, they CAN freeze your game. And it’s annoying.

And the (Real world money) price in this game is pretty pricey, especially just for vehicle skins that has no effects that may help you in-game. (Reason why to just buy the coin magnet effect on your vehicles)

There’s also NO reason to make a 3rd gadget slot to be priced, especially with a 4.99 price tag.


But overall this game is addictive, and fun.

### 2/5 — Still fun but too many ads

*2026-08-20, version 1.104.1*

I used to play this game as a child and i figured it would be a good time to revisit it. Most of the base mechanics are the same which is cool. I think it’s really day that you paywalled the 3rd gadget slot when it used to be free to use. It’s also kind of insane the number of time they try to make you watch more ads or spend actual money on the game. This is a time killer, man, we’re not spending $2.99 for one single skin. It’s ridiculous. L sellout work

### 4/5 — Great game

*2026-08-17, version 1.104.1*

Game is great and the dog is awesome, would have been 5 stars but there are a decent amount of adds

### 4/5 — Decent

*2026-08-11, version 1.104.1*

Games pretty good, just don’t try to get all the achievements (Strong Arm Tactics has traumatized me)

### 4/5 — Lots of ads

*2026-08-10, version 1.104.1*

About 4 ads a round it’s ridiculous but I love the game played it growing up but way to many ads

### 4/5 — Ads

*2026-08-09, version 1.104.1*

I am always directed to download certain games, where’s I’m playing this game . Gave 4 stars for the culture of this game

### 3/5 — Lost progress

*2026-08-07, version 1.104.1*

Downloaded the game after not having it for a while.  Lost all the progress i made.  Spoke to customer support and was told that they can’t do anything.  It’s a shame because its a good game.

### 4/5 — Best thing of 2011.

*2026-08-01, version 1.104.1*

This game is so fun and nostalgic, you can play it for hours and never get bored. Probably the best golden age mobile game ever. I played this game as a kid and have fond memories of it. This game isn’t milking you like modern mobile games. It is pure joy.

### 5/5 — Fun!!!

*2026-07-23, version 1.104.1*

It’s cool and nostalgic, when I had my iPad, it was always downloaded. The one problem I have with it is the quests. The quests (or I guess events) is that they change the gameplay. I just redownloaded it and wanted to play normally. There should be an option to play normally. Otherwise, it’s really fun and I really love it

### 1/5 — So sad

*2026-07-19, version 1.104.1*

It used to be so good, but overtime just became so awful. I really hate to it  like this because it used to be my childhood.

### 1/5 — Change it back

*2026-07-04, version 1.104.1*

I used to play this game all the time. I recently purchase a new iPad and redownload this game and it’s not the same. I can’t utilize nothing that I purchase. I can’t change outfits. I don’t know what happened to this game and I have no save game progress anymore.

### 1/5 — テンポが悪すぎる

*2026-06-29*

・まず開始時のブースト選択の時間が長すぎる
・ゲームオーバー時の復活選択の時間も長すぎる
・終わった後のスロットにかかる時間も長すぎる

純粋にランニングゲームを楽しみたいのに無駄な足止め要素が多すぎてすぐ辞めた

### 1/5 — Ads that make you want to unalive

*2026-06-27*

There are so many ads at every 10s that you actually want to unalive

### 1/5 — Game Freezes and Crashes

*2026-06-03, version 1.104.1*

The game constantly freezes and crashes. When doing the daily SAM, the game will freeze and then when I restart the game. It takes me back to day 1 regardless of what day I was on before it froze. I have half a mind to delete the game because it’s more trouble than what its worth

### 1/5 — Bugs ruin experience

*2026-05-27, version 1.104.1*

Game froze trying to watch an ad to get a revive, missed out on 11K+ coins.

### 1/5 — Best game

*2026-05-23, version 1.104.1*
