Jetpack Joyride

Jetpack Joyride sends Barry Steakfries through a laboratory filled with things that should probably not be in a flight path. One-touch controls adjust his height as you dodge zappers, lasers and missiles. Coins tempt you away from the safest route, making each small movement a choice.

Vehicles interrupt the normal jetpack run with different ways to travel through the lab. Missions give you goals beyond distance, while gadgets, costumes and jetpacks provide things to collect or change between attempts. Special events add other modes around the central endless-running format.

It is a useful pick when you want immediate action without managing several movement buttons. The basic controls are simple, but staying alive depends on reading what is coming next. The Android version supports offline play and includes advertisements and optional in-app purchases.
