Family Friendliness:
Although it can be a bit difficult, we think even young kids will enjoy Jetpack Joyride.  It’s got great cartoony graphics and an easy-to-use menu system.  Jetpack Joyride is highly recommended for families looking for their next iPhone or iPad addiction.


Highlights:
The menu screen and interface packs a lot of useful information into an easy to understand format.  Great menu screens make the Jetpack Joyride esperience even more enjoyable.

Even when you don’t have a power-up activated, the Jetpack itself feels very powerful, so you don’t feel like you’re having less fun when just flying through as the basic character.

Game Details:

Jetpack Joyride has charming graphics and a nice sense of humor that make it difficult to put down.  It’s an “endless” style App, that involves seeing how far your player can go without getting zapped.  The screen constantly scrolls, with your character moving along, but a jetpack helps him maneuver up and down, or own floor level where he’ll run and along.

The game contains different power-ups which are all a bit humorous, such as a motorcycle, a stomping robot or even a flying bird that leaves a trail of money behind it.

The difficulty level ramps up pretty quickly, and pretty soon you’ll be needing to do some tricky flying in order to avoid the zappers.  But that’s where the fun factor of Jetpack Joyride really shines.  Gameplay sessions are quick and entertaining enough that it’s easy to keep saying “just one more time” as you race to beat your high scores, or to get one more achievement in order to reach the next level.

Although it can be a bit difficult, we think even young kids will enjoy Jetpack Joyride.  It’s got great cartoony graphics and an easy-to-use menu system.  Jetpack Joyride is highly recommended for families looking for their next iPhone or iPad addiction.


INFORMATION FROM FACT SHEET:

Join Barry as he breaks in to a secret laboratory to commandeer the experimental jetpacks from the clutches of science evildoers. After lift-off, simply touch the screen to ascend and release to descend, raining bullets, bubbles, rainbows and lasers downwards as you fly towards higher and higher scores!

You'll start off with the legendary Machine Gun Jetpack to scatter the evil scientists, but throughout each game you'll collect coins and complete missions to earn cash and buy new gear in The Stash! Pick your favorite jetpack, snazzy outfit and stock up on items then get back out there for more action!

Keen reflexes are your best weapon to avoid the obstacles in your path. These include lasers, electricity fields and even guided missiles, but thankfully this is a top secret lab - there will be even more goodies to pick up and help Barry along the way. Stay out of harm and you'll reach massive scores, unlock Achievements and beat your friends on the online leaderboards!

Get a boost of speed and power using the Lil' Stomper, Profit Bird and Crazy Freaking Teleporter, just a selection of the vehicles pickups available - all playable with one touch controls. You can even splash out and upgrade the vehicles with coin magnets or shiny gold plating for that bonus style factor!

Stay alive, get funky and lose yourself in Jetpack Joyride. There's so much to see and do, all the time in the world and more than enough jetpacks! As always, Barry Steakfries will provide!
