Race to the finish in your space shuttle, but don't go move on the red light or collide with any space invaders, or it's game over! Many thanks to Kenta Cho for the creation of crisp-game-lib, on which this game is built (https://github.com/abagames/crisp-game-lib).

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Red Light at 5.0 against Jetpack Joyride Classic's 4.5. Red Light also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 9) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). Jetpack Joyride Classic's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
