Community Insight:
Beautiful art, amazing mechanics, and great management! How did we not find out about this game sooner? This game is the best Ive ever played! 5 stars hands down.
We played this game for the first time in years and it was just as fun as we remembered! You should definitely play it on a Kindle, though. We have a friend whose kindle was so bad, it only halfway connected to Wi-Fi. We thought that was a bad thing, but it allowed him to buy infinite coins without having to actually pay for them.
This game is a marvel beyond other mobile games with its banger soundatrack, gameplay, and plenty options to play with! And, for the people that complain the ads are a problem, its simple! TURN OF YOUR WI-FI. And the devs are so creative with their ideas. And, Halfbrick, if you are reading this your ghostbuster event is a MASTERPIECE. We hope the devs respond.
When we get a near miss zapper mission, whether the game decides to count the near miss is inconsistent (sometimes counts, other times not).
One of our favorite games from childhood! We cant believe they didnt change a thing about this game. Pls dont change anything or imma cry fam! Keep it real. Keep it OG! Our day 1.
Awesome gameplay! Love the levels! Challenging and fun is the best combination for this game.
We love your game, its really good, our favorite part is when Im in events, so thank you for the best game Ive ever played on our phone.
This Game is so fun we could play this all day but Im not going to cause Im not addicted to video games.
Super fun we finally got the tornado jet pack.
We dont like the 2nd one the classic is rad. The design amazing good for killing time we recommend it.
Hey we noticed that you cant really high five scientists or pulse the red lights by flying over them unless its part of your quest so can you fix that.
We love that it is one of those games that you can play online or offline and we can play it everywhere.
We recommend download this game and any one have idea for new costumer and new place and suggestions to developer and we cant see new updates and good day.
An amazing game that allows one to pass the time.
It so cool because theirs vehicles that you can unlock (once a run) and they all have a gimmick that adds to the fun.
Great game we like that you go threw mazes and obstacles.
We remember playing this game when it first came out and sinking so much time into it. It aged like fine wine. We thought about it out of nowhere along with Ninjump and wanted to download something that we could just sit back and play without thinking about too much. We had no idea that we would be taken on a nostalgia trip.
Our childhood game and its STILL THE BEST GAME EVER.
Jetpack Joyride is still goated to this day and its just like when we first played it a decade ago.
Halfbrick, thank you for creating this perfect game. Not to mention the nostalgia. 10/10, cant change our mind.
So Indie game style but so much like a SNES mini game in a game.
Goooooooooooooooooooooooooood game.
Est muy bueno este juego, pero sin buenas actualizaciones y sin mantener al pblico.
Is a great game, the only thing that lacks is attention. They dont bring back the best updates. Id like to know if it would be possible to buy a bundle or bundles of previous jetpacks and suits and machine skins from updates that wont come back , like metal slug and the surf board from back to the future, we could pay with in-game money/ coins or make a purchase of it. We like the is game a lot and is a game we used to play a lot when we were younger, lately this game hasnt had much attention, so we wouldve like to have it complete if we could, hope yall can do something about it.
Score: Gameplay: 4.5 (really fun to play! Sometimes missions glitch (walk on foot sometimes doesn't work) and we still have no idea what is considered a near miss for zappers.) UI: 4.2 (please add a way to change your name. The name we have is trash but we see no way to change it.) Ads: 3.5 (one forced ad each run, which can be a bit annoying) Pop-ups: 3.0 (Legitimate Research: Get rid of ads? "Limited time offer" that's been here for nearly a month. Tired of seeing that prompt. And how exactly is this research when the option to say yes is locked behind a paywall?) Overall Rating: 3.7 Really our only complaints are the "legitimate research" pop-up, the forced ads, and the occasionally bugged missions.
Its a shame because it used to not be like that, now we have to watch an add everytime unless we pay? Lame.
We played this game when we were young and we allways enjoyed and still enjoy it.
The game is great still, almost the same as when it came out originally but as with new games ads and pay walls can affect stuff. We play the game every other day. But somethings seem to expensive like a third gadget slot, considering how much other stuff cost in the add-on shop. Getting the no add version is nice. And we would recommend it. But just wish the price would come down on some stuff. Still love Halfbrick.
Why does game freeze everytime we go to watch ad for a revive please fix.
This was a very fun game we liked and we were spamming, so thats why we left this review.
This game brings back so many memories from when we were younger.
JPJ is a great game with age appropriate content (once you pay the $2.99 to remove adds). Unfortunately the data losses are extremely frustrating. If you use multiple devices, the game frequently reverts to the progress of the less updated device.
This the best game ever we never played but the worst part is the ads and its so annoying and we dont like ad plz remove it halfbrick hopefully you read it to all of you developers you deserve the best games 10 out of ten thank you guys bye developers.
Im not sure if our addiction is healthy but it sure is fun lol.
It does not need WIFI!!! Great for long drives or flights.
This game is super fun and fire we love Jetpacks and explosions.
We like the ads we can play but when an ad pops up and it just keeps going and going and going like DUDE!!! LET ME PLAY THE GAME!!! And then we didnt even get the reward and it provoked us to write this it was like 2 minutes.
So we were playing jetpack joyride and we had to update it so it was an event with multiple levels and some of them gave you rewards and we got to leval ten for the mr cuddles skin and this level was nearly impossible and we kept dying over and over again so am mad because we keep dying and we did ads to get hearts but theres only two and each game we kept dying and we had to watch ads but we kept dying so can you make level ten easier.
We have probably played this game for a decade. The current version is terrible. Theres too many obstacles that its over stimulating. So many things that cost extra $ and theres already a bajillion ads on top of it. They ruined the game and became greedy, what a shame.
Besides the adds, this game was amazing to rediscover and play.
This game is addicting, really fun and and we like the styles and the fact that it takes place in a laboratory.
This game is a classic. We still play it to this day.
This is what we will play every time we come back from school.
Right now you will love this game we just want to merry this game.
When we started playing this game we got the boost power up but it didnt have the boost sound the way it does when we played Jetpack joyride on the iPad.
This game is so fun. We played it as a kid to best days of our life. We still play it till this day. Its like sub way surfers but better. The jet packs are very creative and the power ups. We have no complaints. Good Job developers.
The game was so fun we loved it and the action.
This is the most beautiful thing and it makes us feel better and we're canon bad at it but we gust got it. (^o^).
This game is awesome in so many ways, the music, the art style, the gameplay, all of it. Our only complaint is the adds which arent even that big of a deal because you can remove them. An absolute classic.
We love this it is so fun and it reminds us of our childhood.
