Jetpack Joyride 2 for Negative User Reviews

Fun game, but is too easy to complete 100%You can easily finish all achievements on this game in three weeks, and that’s only that slow because one of the achievements needs the reward from Day 21’s daily reward. No infinite mode is a big miss..Version: 1.0.13

Good but…Worth the download, it’s a good start on a sequel however.. - is way too short (finished it in 3 days) - need some open ended play - needs more from the original …. So basically… more!.Version: 1.0.13

Needs an update alreadyLost of issues for those of us who have basically completed the game already. I’ve got all vehicles maxed, I’ve got Jetpack maxed which is an issue because now I have a mission I can’t complete to skip because skipping a mission is not an option anymore like it was in the first game. Power ups have the issue that when using a token you will continue to get “cards” for power ups even if you’ve already got enough to max it out. Example. I only needed 111 to send to lvl 10 for a power up but I had over 500. So it’s just something that they should not continue to drop if you’re enough to max out a power up. Really needs an endless mode otherwise I could see me uninstalling this game..Version: 1.0.13

Good but…Good, an improvement, but why on earth did you keep the unskipable animations for power-ups, factory, etc. By the time you have seen these 10 times, they are AMAZINGLY IRRITATING. Please add an option to remove or skip the animations in the character screen (e.g. for power ups, the factory, arcade, etc. - no animation, or let players skip them) Apologies for the harsh review, but they are annoying enough to make playing not worth it. I have no idea if others feel the same way….Version: 1.0.13

Good for a couple of days and then wears off quicklyI loved the original. Played it for months at a time, would forget about it and pick it up years later and it was still entertaining. Something about trying to beat your high score. Easily one of the best endless runners ever made. Which is why it’s so dumbfounding that this sequel doesn’t offer an endless mode. Yes, at first this does seem like it’s as good as or better than the original in every way but after you spend a few days with it, beat all the challenges, and even grind the annoying arcade modes to upgrade everything, you’re left with nothing to do. I have 2 million + coins and 1000+ gems with literally nothing to spend them on. I assume that even once an update is released, I’ll breeze though it in no time due to the excess of coins and upgrades I have now. All of this could be fixed with an endless mode instead of forcing us to repeat the same level over and over and over again. I can’t believe how close this game is to perfection, but the simple omission of what made the first game great means that this one isn’t worth playing for very long..Version: 1.0.13

Unfair, makes the game too frustrating.So I unlocked arcade mode and had an achievement to get 80,000 points on a game. That fruit ninja game is pretty much a roll of the dice if you will do well. Every single time I’d get in the 70,000s and run out of time. Almost every game I’d get one maybe 2 clocks I could try get it honestly feels impossible. Some games I’ll get one bomb and others they will throw 5 at the same time which will instakill you, how is this fun? I was getting very good at controlling it and getting the fruit but still I failed. I play games to relax not to get mad because the game is based on chance. If it were skill based it would be fine. Why not make it so you get the same amount of clocks and bombs each level? Why make it completely random?.Version: 2.4.10

App is now crashing on my 9th gen iPadThe recent update restore the game on my iPhone, but it's no longer working on my iPad….Version: 1.5.11

Love this game but…..This is a great game and good for wasting away an hour or two. Unfortunately with the recent update I have not been able to access my jet pack upgrades because “you need to progress more in the experience road!” I am now not able to play the new levels, I can’t kill any of the enemies and die after two hits..Version: 2.1.10

Fun, but extremely limited replayability… so far.Sure, this is fun, but there’s so much broken or illogical. Why does the Super Magnet badge claim to grab coins… but it doesn’t grab ALL coins? Why is the Boomerang an “epic” weapon when it’s just dreadfully awful to use? Why do mobs still drop XP tokens at max level? Why can you only replay the final stage and no others? Why does the end of each run or mini game still take an extra moment when counting XP “earned”… even though you’re at level 50? Why does the “explode 10 missiles” mission not count all missile explosions? If it’s meant to be “shoot down 10 missiles” then it should say that - if I intentionally run into a missile… I’ve exploded it and it should count. It doesn’t. Why are some of the mini arcade games crazy difficult and some are pretty easy to hit 100k points on? You would have to be almost pixel-perfect to hit 100k on the Gravity Suit mini game… and the taco game is just terrible with that awful cannon. Why do you end up with a glut of blueprints and gems at max level but coins are stupid hard to grind? The game needs a lot tuning and re-balancing. That being said, it IS enjoyable..Version: 1.0.13

It’s not the same anymore..It’s kinda fun, don’t get me wrong, but its just not what I expected Jetpack Joyride 2 to be, I was very excited when I heard this was coming out and I was little bit disappointed when I played it for the first time, I’m about 15 stages in right now and I’m already kind of bored of it :/.Version: 1.0.13

It’s AlrightApple made a big deal about this title in their Arcade promotions and it’s not at all their best game. The Jetpack Joyride mechanics are here and are responsive (minus a few spotty areas). I love that there’s no IAP as this is an Arcade game. The additions of missions, objectives, and upgrades is a good hook to play til the end. But that’s the big issue, the end. As long as you’re upgrading and progressing, the end takes only a few hours to reach. And after that you’re stuck playing the last mission over and over. There’s no endless run and little replay ability factor. Halfbrick teases more levels coming in the future, but I’m not sure how many more levels you can stick in here to make it worth people’s time. Overall it’s fun for a bit, but useless afterwards..Version: 1.0.13

It’s over?Update: the game’s been out for under a week, and I’ve already run out of content. There’s not even an endless mode — every time I play, there’s the final boss after 200-whatever thousand meters, and then the run ends. If I don’t feel like doing the same thing over and over, there’s literally nothing else to do in this game. There’s no way to try to beat your high score! This game has tons of problems, and is sorely lacking content. If it gets updated *quite* a bit, then it has potential, but as it stands I do not recommend it. ———————— Original review: I’ve only been playing for about an hour so far (the game only came out last night), but here’s my initial thoughts: 1. This is a worthy sequel: They kept enough to make it feel like the same thing, but added and changed enough that it doesn’t just feel like DLC. 2. It’s in need of some polishing — mostly QOL changes to the menu navigation and such, but I’ve also come across a handful of minor bugs and translation errors (I’ll email them to Halfbrick). It’s not perfect, but all in all, if you’re an Arcade subscriber and liked the original game, definitely try this one out! (This is just a quick review for now; I’ll write something more complete in the days or weeks to come.).Version: 1.0.13

Good Premise but a sensory nightmare to playI enjoy the premise of this game but there’s absolutely too much going on on the screen at the same time. I absolutely would not recommend this game to anyone who has issues with sensory sensitivity, overload or overstimulation. I have never had a problem with any of these while playing a game, but this one left me with sore eyes and a headache after 10 minutes. The general visual noise is bad enough, with there being a thousand separate parts spinning around the place at any given time, but the worst is the creators seem to think that having the whole screen flash bright white is a great idea. There isn’t even a beak in between games when you’re just in the menu screens either so it’s just non stop. I really wish there were a way to turn down the intensity a bit. Cut out some of the extra flashing and some of the more irritating noises. Or at the very least reduce the flashing but there’s absolutely nothing..Version: 1.0.13

Please add endless modeYou guys have a great game i thank you for for that. I gave you three stars because despite having a wonderful game when you reach the end it’s just over… I have tons of things left to upgrade but there’s not even anything to do once you beat mik(the final boss or level). You should have a mode to replay the story on a harder difficulty for one and for two you need an endless mode and leaderboards to really increase this games value and to really allow this game to shine in its glory. You have a great game with great items and pickups but to really make this an awesome success you gotta add an endless mode( if you don’t know what that is it means you play until you run out of life) I hope this is seen by the developers because this seems like one of the most basic things a game like this needs. Thank you and I hope to see these things added it would be a shame if this game dies out because a lack of replay value..Version: 1.0.13

Fun but maxed out in one day.This game really highlights the benefits of Apple Arcade and the flaws of the pay to play genre. It seems as if this would be one of the pay to play games but Apple just happened to pick it up for arcade. This is great because many of these types of games are fun but too expensive if you have to pay to upgrade. The scenario here is, if you play well, play enough and play smart, you will upgrade quickly--especially since you're not paying to advance. The lack of more levels once you beat Mic is frustrating as is the fact that EXP is capped at 50. Makes me feel like if I keep playing I am wasting time because I have no room to go up. Hopefully they will add levels, etc., but if the history of PTP games moving to Arcade is any example, the devs grabbed the bag and are probably done here. If it was still PTP, they would have incentive to keep us going and interested. I hope I'm wrong. That being said, I have basically finished this game and now have to wait around another 3 or 4 weeks for Apple Arcade to pick up another new game worth playing. They need to add more games more often IMO..Version: 1.0.13

Feels half finishedHonestly just feels like a game that the developers are holding back content until they can aggressively monetise it. The game that’s there on Apple Arcade right now is fun but pretty limited content wise. This game can chug gets pretty slow frame times on iPhone 12 and 9th gen iPad..Version: 1.2.10

Good but don’t like the last updateIn the factory u have to wait like 17h for something, it was like 1hour and half before the last update..Version: 1.2.10

Crashes immediatelySince the last update I can’t play it on my iPhone at all. Works fine on my iPad but it crashes immediately on an iPhone 14 pro max immediately after the Apple Arcade loading screen. It has done this every single time and is unplayable..Version: 1.5.11

Absolute RubbishThe fact you have a boss rush and then have no way of buying an extra chance is a joke. This is supposed to be fun. Dying at round 3 on 35th Boss is torturous. This is a disappointment to this game. I’m no longer going to support such utter nonsense anymore. Deleting and never coming back till you make the boss rush a little more lenient when you die at the 35th and have to go through it all just for a JETPACK! Worst rewarding ever *Seriously! FIX THIS BOSS RUSH ITS SO UNFAIR AND THE GUN DAMAGE DOES MINIMAL TO THEM!*.Version: 2.6.10

Half baked game from HalfBrickThe graphics are amazing and the new additions to the game are really fun, but there is little content to play through. This game is story based, but there is only 3 chapters and after a few days they were all completed. There are also a few arcade games but not much, and they didn’t even include an endless run mode which is absurd considering the first game was only an endless run game There is also 3 vehicles and a handful of jetpacks and outfits, most of which are locked behind a daily reward system. All-in-all it will provide some fun a few days but you will quickly loose interest doing the same few levels over and over again.Version: 1.0.13

Upgrade broke the gameI can’t play the Christmas update. The game crashes upon loading every time. That’s a shame. I enjoyed it while it worked..Version: 1.4.10

Why is upgrading everything is so tedious?This game is a blast when you can actually play it. I love the new enemies that show up as you progress. The levels are fun and look great. The arcade modes are a fun addition. I love that you can upgrade your jetpack, inventions, and vehicles. My biggest frustration is that all the animations and screen taps you have to do for the upgrades. It’s excessive. Spend tokens? Three screen taps (in different places). So if I have 10 tokens I have to tap the screen 30 times (you get tokens a lot). Upgrade inventions or vehicle? Bright white screen flash then an animation individually updates 3 stats (and you do upgrades a lot). Redeem missions? Tap the screen 3 times to cycle through rewards. More clicking to redeem stuff in the factor (imo the whole factory portion could have been left out. It doesn’t really add any value). Basically everything in the game is like this. Why? So much time is spent tapping the screen and waiting for animations to play through. All of this distracts so much from actually playing the main game and arcade modes. It honestly becomes a chore and keeps me from wanting to play more. When upgrading the jetpack it’s a single click and it’s instantly done. No long animation. All of the upgrades should be like this. I’m really surprised there’s no endless mode as that’s the original point to the game..Version: 1.0.13

The first game is a lot betterSome of the specials are worse than the pistol. The game overall is way easier, and there is no free play mode to get money fast for upgrades. Flamethrower doesn’t reach enemies on the far end of the screen. Some arcade modes are really easy while some are insane (looking at gravity suit). Coin magnet doesn’t work on bouncing coins. No way to skip the boss cut scene even if you have played the same boss multiple times. Game is very short and doesn’t give enough time to unlock many daily’s.Version: 1.0.13

Crashes in bosh rushBosh rush unplayable crashes about 90% of the time.Version: 1.11.10

Not greatI’m sorry but after my last review I need to make some changes… Before I was really happy with the game but after this last update the game has gotten nothing but tedious and just isn’t fun to play. Levels are too long and I’m noticing a dramatic change in the speed of progression, the flow has been completely ruined. I find my self having to wait ages to make further progression which isn’t good. Also I’ve been getting a lot of lag on the iPhone 13 Mini and with the last two updates this was not fixed. I’ve seen multiple individuals mention this and they have way more powerful devices than I. Shame tbh..Version: 1.2.10

Fun but waaayyyyy too shortAn improvement on the original in every measurable sense except for the fact the game is insanely short, which makes no sense as the premise is that it should be endless. Just add more enemies and more bosses and you could literally have an endless amount of levels. But now after a few weeks, I’m just collecting an absurd amount of coins, plans, and gems, with nothing to spend it on. Disappointing..Version: 1.4.10

The first one was betterThe addition of guns you shoot forward changes the game dramatically and makes it much less unique than the first. Moreover, the game has the structure of a gacha game even though there are no IAP in the Apple Arcade version. This means loot boxes, a lot of different currencies, and daily logins. Game also ties to trick you into enabling notifications by giving you "Yes" and "not right now" options but no "no"..Version: 1.0.13

Good game but very short and you can’t re play levelsI wish you could re play past levels. The game is fun but I have completed it and am now forced to play the same level over and over. It makes no sense why I can’t re play past levels. I have maxed nearly everything so I have no reason to play until there is an update..Version: 1.0.13

Black screen and froze after openedUnable to play with black screen and the app is frozen..Version: 1.0.13

BOSS RUSH CRAshI recently completed my first prestige in this game. I have unlocked boss rush which never get finished after I die. The game/app Keep on crashing. I have recent version of the game as well as my iOS..Version: 1.12.10

This is NOTHING like Jetpack JoyrideI'm surprised they changed so much about the already successful formula, but my friends words speak for it better than I do so I'll Just say "It's so different that It's cursed".Version: 2.2.10

Fun, but poorly balancedLatest version gets stuck - distance stops going up, no enemies appear and it just plays forever until you quit the game. Disappointing. :( Unlike the original game, the difficult level is highly erratic and the endless mode can be far too easy, lasting too long for a single game to remain enjoyable. Manic action is all too rare, separated by long periods of barely much happening. The set levels take only a few hours to complete, and the extra 5 levels added recently added only 15 more minutes of easy content. The 5 arcade games all stop at 100,000, except the gravity game which has a (hard to achieve) maximum score of 96,525. The scoring was presumably set before the game structure was finalised. Sloppy. The factories are far too powerful, and completely trivialise the upgrade path - except for the jetpack add-ons which need gameplay to upgrade. And the vehicles have been ruined in the endless mode - why not make them work in the original, rather than surviving a fixed length of time (which is barely drained by hitting something). A few days of play testing could have fixed all these issues..Version: 1.6.10

Saved game problemI played for a while - did more or less everything. Deleted it to save space and now want to play the updates. Unfortunately any time I play, the new progress doesn’t get saved, so I’m perpetually starting from the same point. Aargh. Curse you Barry Steakfries and your cloud sync logic..Version: 1.5.11

Just misses the markAs a fan of the original, I was excited for this sequel release. It does have a lot going for it - I like the addition of the sectors, the upgrade systems, and the new combat/weapon system. Unfortunately it took only 1 day to fully complete the game. I now have no incentive to keep playing as it just continuously repeats the last stage. What made the original so great was that you could enjoy it for years, always chasing a longer run. The fact that there is no endless mode is a HUGE FAIL by Halfbrick, I’m honestly more shocked than Barry after tagging a zapper that they didn’t include it. It’s also a bummer that there is really only 1 vehicle to start - I’m not a huge fan of the space ship and gravity suit taking you out of the flow of the game as opposed to just adding a vehicle inside your run. They need to introduce an endless mode soon, or the replayability will remain almost nonexistent..Version: 1.0.13

Brilliant until the reward times changedThe game was really good fun to play, I made lots of money and was able to upgrade items to high levels… that’s until the recent update. The time to generate coins went from a few hours to a whole day!! I hardly get any rewards now and has made the game feel boring ☹️.Version: 1.2.10

New Update = Broken GameFully upgraded newest core and game crashes whenever I press play. I can play other game modes..Version: 1.3.10

Great game, but not tested on Apple TV?I've really been enjoying the game on my phone, but the user experience for this game on the Apple TV is shockingly bad, but a few small changes would fix it right up: - Please let me use the up down left right buttons on the siri remote. Scrolling around generally is very difficult, so being sure about what I am inputting would help. - It's very hard to press the skip all button when using a token. - The factory is extremely frustrating to use, when there are coins for example, it's very difficult to select the coins instead of the coin factory. Only let me select the coins first! Even better, highlight the coins to collect them by default. - When I go to upgrade something, please highlight the upgrade button instead of the close button by default. - Upgrading the jetpack is extremely difficult. First you have to scroll down and it selects the cores instead of the health upgrade, then you have to scroll back up to select health, or scroll across and then up to get the attack upgrade, but often it will just highlight the back button again instead. - On the powerup screen it can be quite difficult to see what you're selected on. Please highlight the weapons with a bit more contrast. After I upgrade a weapon, select the weapons by default, not the back button (except if I don't have enough coins to upgrade another one?)..Version: 1.0.13

NEW BOSS RUSH NOT FAIR TO TOP USERSEliminating badges for Power is unfair. It is extremely hard to kill 9 Bosses in a Row without powers. They strip it out and hope you can get through the first round of 9 bosses. Trying to keep us busy but the sense of achievement is lost. It resets to 0 if you don’t make it. And trust me. You won’t. At least let us log the ones we have defeated. I have defeated 3 in a Row but I have to start all over again. Get another 3 first then try to get all 9. That is not right. I should start with 3 and move on to try to get to 9. AND OUT OF THE FIRST ROUND. GIVE US OUR BADGES and increase the rounds and rewards. There is nothing left for me to collect. I’m on 3rd Prestige. All badges full and I can’t use them against these hard challenges. Tying my hands and hoping I stay interested? No. I’m rapidly losing interest and looking for another game. Badges for Hard challenges Please!.Version: 1.11.10

Was good but now badGot this when it first came out and thought this was an ok sequel to the first. Stayed throughout all the updates and felt like the game at times were challenging and upgrading your Jetpack was worth it in order to survive. Hate the tron vehicle in this game and thought it was horrible in the first one. Now, it’s impossible to beat and having ALL the upgrades for Jetpack, vehicles, power ups and it doesn’t feel like they are worth spending money on upgrading. Game will 3 shot you and they have more lock on enemies that will follow you instead of going straight to your original position. Eggs that shoot out purple smoke are nearly impossible to get past and deal 7/8 your health from one egg. This game got hard because some idiot thought it was too easy and wanted this game to be a pain. There’s not point in upgrading your Jetpack if your health stays the same and the gun does NO additional damage. Game is bad and will be deleted soon..Version: 1.8.30

BuggyThe game sometimes hard crashes, and other times the enemies stop coming and you find yourself running down an endless empty hallway forever!.Version: 1.5.11

Fix your Easter egg in the lab.. Easter is done.. does anyone look at the game on your side?All above.Version: 1.9.10

Not greatIt seems obvious that this app was designed as a pay-to-win sequel before failing flat on its face and being retired into Apple Arcade, with its IAPs removed. The game takes ages to teach you its complicated power up purchasing mechanics, which interrupts the flow of the game and ultimately made me just lose interest. JPJ1 is way better, you’re playing all the time instead of clicking through endless game mechanic tuition screens. App deleted..Version: 1.0.13

Keeps crashingThe last update fixed it, but it only works for a few times and then after that the app started crashing like it previously was before.Version: 1.5.11

Good Game butOverall a good game, great cartoony graphics and easy to pick up and play gameplay and controls, as in straightforward gameplay and controls which actually goes a long way these days, the problem I have encountered may seem insignificant to some but it does for me demote this game from a great game to a good game and even possibly to an uninstalled game, for me anyway, as this has done for a good few games on the Apple Arcade roster, like I said for me anyway, the problem is and maybe this is a default setting on many Apple Arcade games, but for me it is a problem, which is the cursor, it stays on the screen even when your playing the game/in gameplay mode/action mode whatever you want to call it, there it is, the cursor refusing to leave the screen in its entirity, this is irritating and distracting to me, especially when playing a fast paced shooting action game like Jetpack Joyride, frankly this is irritating and distracting in any game other than a mouse clicking type game which Im not really playing at the moment, I can name several titles where this problem occurs including Pacman, Tetris Beat and more all where the cursor refuses to dissolve away into the background while in gameplay mode, Ive uninstalled many because of this, whats the deal?! Is there a way around this? Or am I going to have to continue uninstalling these inflicked titles?! As it stands this is such a shame to be uninstalling games because of this! Please help!.Version: 2.4.11

No cross save between iOS devices.Terrible that this game has no cross save between devices. If I can’t have a saved profile between my iPhone and iPad, then it’s garbage to me. Deleting game now! Being on Apple Arcade and not having cross save is a joke..Version: 1.0.13

It is a decent sequelI will get one thing straight this is a very enjoyable game to sit down and play. But saying that it is very unfinished. One problem are the vehicles there are only 3! I think they should’ve kept vehicles from the old game such as Mr. Cuddles I just think it is lacking. Another problem is that once you finish the adventure you can’t go back to old levels and you can’t play an endless run like the original for this reason I think the game was released to early and should have added some more content or gotten beta testers and gotten ideas and improvements. Overall it is a good game with many new items. But I think the original Jetpack is better if you don’t want to pay 5$ for Apple Arcade..Version: 1.0.13

Not readyNot ready for release the game can be finished pretty quickly the booster upgrades are a waste of time and there is no endless run mode which would negate the need for the game to be bigger, it wouldn’t be so bad if there was an endless run it would make waiting for the update not so bad will more than likely forget about this and move on before the new update comes out.Version: 1.0.13

It’s okayDaily check in rewards? A huge portion of Apple Arcade games from racers wanting you to grind for upgrades so you can get to a point were you can play the game competitively, or this one where there’s daily check in rewards seem like there just trying to keep your attention like a free to play game. Which makes me wonder if there is some serious flaws in Apple Arcade’s business model, makes me wonder if Apple still hasn’t figured out how to pay there developers in a way that doesn’t encourage them to make there games less enjoyable, in exchange for more attention. If that’s the case when it comes to some of the AA games, then we really don’t need Apple acting as the middle man. Apple Arcade’s failure to serve as a good middle man when it comes to gaming has driven me towards cloud gaming platforms like Stadia which I’ve spent over a thousand dollars on so far, in other words AA is going to have to do much better than this type of behaviour to get my business back. Update: Wow did that Stadia reference ever and blow back into my face. At one point I would have loved Apple to build a gaming platform like Stadia, but it’s clear to me at this point Apple is only interested in building businesses that they can use to force greedy Subscriptions on to people, so I never thought I would turn to the Nintendo switch for gaming, because it seems like unnecessary hardware, since we have the Technology to play even the best games on iPads, iPhones, and Apple TV’s. Unfortunately shame on us gamers for not supporting a gaming plat form like Stadia that gave us a chance to own the best video games in the world and play them anywhere on any device and made cheating in video games a thing of the past in the process(tell it shuts down of course), and it’s also disappointing that an insanely wealthy company like Apple can’t even make a simple little Indy game like Jet Pack Joyride 2 enjoyable without greed getting in the way, even after players agree to a forced subscription. I’m starting to think humans don’t deserve video games, the industry really didn’t have to be this way. As far as the actual game play goes, it’s okay, not great but okay as far as being fun to play, maybe it’s something somebody would enjoy when they just got up in the morning and are not in the mood for something too challenging..Version: 1.2.10

Fun on iPad, crashes on TVWhile the game is great fun (if a little on the easy side), it won’t open on my Apple TV, which is the reason I have Arcade. I hope that can be fixed soon!.Version: 1.4.11

Kinda goodI receomend you try it its not a scam.Version: 1.8.50

Ok but needs better controlToo hard to maneuver charectar.Version: 1.1.12

Help?!Game doesn’t open on my iPhone 14 pro max after I’ve tried re-downloading it and restarting my phone Whenever I can fix that I can confidently say this game is amazing.Version: 1.4.10

Eh…With each update, the navigation gets worse on tv. many times, you can’t even move around menus (and are forced to force-quit and re-open the game), you still can’t access the bottom row of costumes on the avatar menu, with the ‘B’ button — no matter what screen you’re on — it closes the game out (instead of having a dedicated “exit game“ option/button), and, now — in the newest update — you can’t even access any portion of the sticker album… let alone the newest second page. another frustration is the ‘factory’ tab; when you are trying to tap the “mini-game“ at the bottom of the screen, it constantly takes you back to the top row of icons every time try interact with it (this actually happens with any button on any screen). instead of forcing you to the “info“ or back/arrow button, your positioning should stay in the same spot. PLEASE fix these issues..Version: 1.6.10

An unfinished messThe original Jetpack Joyride was a pretty cool game. But it’s pretty clear this sequel only exists because Tim Cook burst through the wall of Halfbrick Studios with a sack of money and offered it to them in exchange for whatever they could whip up before he finished microwaving the Hot Pockets he brought for lunch. The score mechanic makes no sense, it’s primarily distance-based except when it’s not, blowing up basic enemies seems to give you a small amount of points but blowing up huge bosses gives you none. Basic bench Betty is in the game for some reason despite no storyline reason given for her existence and she sometimes shows up instead of Barry in storyline sequences, even when you’re controlling Barry. There’s these big blue diamonds you can grab that don’t do anything cool at all, they just give you a bunch of coins, even though giant coins that also give you a bunch of coins already exist. Clearly none of this was planned out and was a bare minimum effort to get some Apple Arcade money..Version: 1.11.12

5 mins in disappointmentI don’t even really want to play anymore. What made the first one good was that it was really easy to pick up and play and now everything is locked behind upgrades and you can’t even just see how far you get. I expect this from freemium games but Jesus as an arcade title? No thanks . I’m sure I’ll hear “it gets better “ but honestly I’d rather play the first game some more.Version: 1.0.13

Bugs with last updateGame is good, but several bugs since last update this week. Factory production time is now 17hrs for a level 10 upgrade. Wasn’t like that before. Also when playing new levels you have to exit the map and then go back in to play each new level..Version: 1.2.10

DisappointedThe guns you shoot forward make no sense. And there’s a campaign. AND YOU HAVE TO SPEND FOREVER TO UNLOCK CLASSIC. just what happened to the classic arcade game.Version: 1.9.10

Extremely easyThe game very well made and it has a lot of content. However, it is extremely easy. As you progress, each level has a longer distance in text but the time it takes to complete this distance is more or less the same. To understand what I’m saying the last available level right now has a distance of 911k (whatever the measurement) and one of the middle levels has a distance of 54k. It will take you roughly the same time to complete this distance although you’d expect to cover 911k in a lot more time. And it’s not like there is an upgrade that gives you speed. The speed is always the same, the obstacles and enemies are getting mildly more difficult, so it’s always the same difficulty. I was able to complete the map in one day! That is 30 levels! And when you’re done with this, you can keep playing the last level or the arcade games, get a ton of money, upgrade everything, become ever more stronger and complete the new levels even easier and faster. So at this point the sense of achievement is completely missing..Version: 1.1.12

Brilliant game TOO SHORTUnfortunately for this game the mechanics are amazing and it’s extremely addictive although I completed it within 3 days and around 40 story runs. It was just to short I’m now on my 8th day and I’ve found myself collecting tokens and coins to upgrade my power ups, badges, jet packs and vehicles. Which atm from just 8 days I nearly have all fully upgraded and am sitting at around 200,000 coins and over 300 gems… this has now become boring and pointless as there’s nothing to really play for..Version: 1.0.13

Pyramid Sector UnplayableIt took me 20 attempts and I cant get passed the second level. You guys made it blatantly difficult to beat it even if I have a maxed out jetpack. So make it easier alright?.Version: 2.3.20

Needs some qol improvementsThe game is fun but doesn’t have a lot of respect for your time. All the upgrade hub stuff has a bunch of menus and unskippable animations, and the levels themselves are way too long and get longer each time..Version: 1.2.10

What now?I really was a fan of the first game and this one is really good. Why the 3 stars? Well, I quite literally have nothing else to do in the game. I have upgraded absolutely everything to its maximum, there is nothing at all left to upgrade. I have hundreds of thousands of coins, diamonds etc with nothing to spend them on. No endless mode to play, I’m just stuck either playing the final level repeatedly or playing arcade mode but for no gain. It’s a real shame because as I said, it’s a good game, but it is unfinished. I did email the devs, as a fan of the franchise, but I didn’t even receive an acknowledgment. The Jetpack, has crash landed. RIP Barry..Version: 1.0.13

Story mode - please allow to replay stagesHello folks, great game. I have managed to run through all of the story mode stages but now I am stuck as the game would only allow me to replay the very last one. Can you please update the game to allow for stage replays? Also, the factory upgrade buttons sometimes get stuck and clicking them doesn’t do anything (only fix is if you hard close and reopen the app).Version: 1.0.13

No playtesting?Who playtested the challenges, not only is it legitimately unplayable but it is all randomized so in most play-trough it is simply impossible. How is this game even supposed to be at the very least enjoyable. I know who the developer of this game is and I know for sure. Please make this dumb subscription that is Apple Arcade a little more worth it..Version: 2.3.20

Easter event bugThe progress just stopped before lvl5 cannot find any eggs in all game modes.Version: 1.8.30

IPhone 13 Pro iOS 16.2 crashes on launch nowFix your game.Version: 1.4.11

Half finished gameOnce you complete sector 10 you’ll be stuck replaying this as the game isn’t even finished. Seems like this game was rush out rather than complete the game in full..Version: 1.0.13

Love this game but the update has some changes.Hi I’m not sure if this is intentional or not but since the update the factory has had a 0 added to the time taken for each thing to produce. Therefore, where things use to take 39minutes they now take 390 minutes. Is that right? Basically it takes hours and hours for anything to produces. Was this a mistake?.Version: 1.2.10

Initially fun, but quickly runs out of gasLike many, I played a lot of the original Jetpack Joyride. It was always a great option when you needed to kill a few minutes. At first I thought the sequel was exactly what I wanted: some new modes, a fun little story mode, new gameplay. But I exhausted all the fun parts of the game in just over a week! Now I’m max level, maxed out garage, maxed out jetpack, and nearly maxed out weapons. All I can do at this point is endlessly replay the last level of story mode or grind out materials in the Arcade (where none of your upgrades are relevant). If they add more story or (especially) an endless mode, they’d have something. As it is, it’s fun to play with for a week or two but then you might as well uninstall it..Version: 1.0.13

Great game but one problemThis game is really great but there are some things that could be better: Slow the game down: Sector 10 of part 2 is way too fast for me and I die to the suicide bots every time Bring back tokens: Please bring back tokens from the old game that you could use for the slot machine.Version: 1.11.10

Bugs and more bugsStill a bug on the sticker 22 of the last patch that even if you defeat the boss it doesn’t unlock. Also UI on appleTV is a mess even with a controler.Version: 2.2.10

Fun game but the damage scaling is completely arbitraryPlayed for several hours and the one thing I couldn’t get my head around was the way that the damage and health scales with each upgrade. Sometimes it feels like it does nothing at all. Got through Neontropolis sector 7 with a level 10 jetpack and it was an absolute breeze, but the very next sector the game just suddenly decided that every hit was going to do over half my health in damage even after fully upgrading my jetpack to level 15. And with all the missiles flying around it’s basically impossible to dodge long enough to survive the level. All my gadgets and vehicles are max level too, so there’s not much left to do. It’s a shame because I was having a good time with the game, there’s just nothing else I can do to progress - the game has decided that my upgrades and weapons are now useless against the exact same enemies that I shredded just one level ago..Version: 2.7.10

CrashedThe game keep crashing on me.Version: 1.7.10

OkI agree with some here. The original was better. The story mode in this is fun. I enjoy the themes of each sector. The rest seems bloated. Like they crammed to much into the game. There are no good backpack and or suit skins to choose from that makes it unappealing. The arcade games are fun but the only reason to play is to get parts to upgrade. I would rather pay with tokens. The health power ups during your run could appear more often. Also there are to many times that the piggy bank pops up. Way too much. Also with gravity run and the spaceship. Hardly get big stomper at all. I’ve completed all the updates so far. But beyond the main story it is dull and boring. There is no incentive to keep playing. Once the whole story is done I’ll probably delete game. There is just nothing to work toward..Version: 1.2.10

Garbage cross device playEnded up with two different versions of the same save when playing with both iPad and iPhone. No amount of closing reopening, starting new saves and loading the old saves got them in sync. Tried deleting on one device and ended up overwriting the main save with the tutorial… can’t be bothered to go through all that again… deleted..Version: 1.0.13

It’s ok.The levels get longer and emptier as you go along. Betty and Barry randomly switch in cut scenes irregardless of who you use. The hero skins are mainly for Barry. For mindless fun, it’s ok..Version: 1.1.12

Great game, but not perfect due to last update.The recent update introduced on November 24 2022 came with some pretty bad bugs. So far I have encountered multiple minor glitches, but one, in particular, is preventing me from progressing mid-run. On occasions, after a combat encounter with some of the minions in the newest stages (regular mode), the game will simply stop registering any further progress during the run. The gun will not automatically stop firing and the score counter will simply stop. The only way to get out of this infinite loop is to quit the run and loose all accumulated experience which makes it very tedious to progress since the bug can occur at any point during the run. If you are only starting the game now, I strongly recommend it. It’s a great upgrade from the original game. The customization content is very limited and there’s only 3 vehicles, but, overall, it’s a lot of fun. The stages and enemies are very varied and there’s a lot of potential going forward. If it wasn’t for the limited content, the unpredictable yet rare bugs and the repetitive end game loop. This game would be worthy of a better rating..Version: 1.3.10

Good game BUTLove the game. On the second play though just now but my issue is this new constant boss mode. Love the idea but it’s been implemented terribly. Doesn’t take into account of any of your upgrades to the gun or attack. It’s ridiculously grindy and awful to play. It basically takes you back to level 1 but then offers the later bosses so your shooting them with a water pistol. Not to mention three lives and no way to get more. 3 lives to defeat 12 bosses with a basic gun was this ever play tested?! Fix this balance issue and it’s 5 stars..Version: 1.11.10

Micro transactions ruin gameplayOk so here’s the rub. First Im playing on Apple Arcade so no micro transactions. So purple gems were given to be like candy which I believe in the non Apple Arcade version they are pushed at the user buy. So at first I choose to not upgrade my pack/health/power and just looked to see how far I could go. Without failure the game would always throw at me a insane amount of enemies always about 10% distance before the end of a level… but as soon as I upgraded with pink crystals those enemy clusters disappeared.. it’s obvious they programmed it for micro transactions because on apple aracde I logged in for 5 days and in that 5 days I’ve beaten the game. Still cool and definitely needs updates to make it a real game and not a fancy pay to win platform hidden with fancy stuff.Version: 1.0.13

Great game….butLove this game but is very easy. Needs more items to spend coins on. Coins are building up into the hundreds of thousands and nothing to spend on. Maxed out all vehicles and almost all power ups. Even when have the parts to max power ups it’s not gonna cost much. Please give us something to work for..Version: 1.8.50

Great Game but poor supportThe game is fun to play and well designed! Works for all ages. I rated only two stars because I lost several hours of game progress and support is unreachable. I’ll update if they ever get back to me on this..Version: 1.8.50

NEEDS an updateInexplicably for the sequel to one of the most famous “endless” runners of all time … you can beat this game in ONE day. All 50 missions. It’s super fun while it lasts but once you hit level 50 you literally can only replay the last level over and over. Because the factory just farms resources for you at this point you don’t even need to “play” the game anymore to max out all of your equipment. The only other thing to do is play the little arcade modes that take WAY too long to let you replay with slow scoreboards and reset animations. Parts of this game are brilliant and incredibly fun but I just don’t understand how they botched the replayability so badly once you are in the “end game” really hope an update is coming quickly.Version: 1.0.13

Will need frequent updating.It’s a welcome improvement on the original but I’m about 4 days in of casual play and I’m already max level and only have 3 more stages to clear, it’s definitely going to need updating frequently to retain playability, especially with the lack of an endless mode..Version: 1.0.13

Still the same experience from 6 months agoI played this game since launch, and I’m still 176th in the world on Endless Mode. Now, I originally took a pause for about 6 months because the game lagged at a certain score on endless and they added those sticker orbs. I just came back for a game, it was long overdue, and wow, there’s now cakes that float around the map alongside the sticker orbs. I can’t tell AT ALL what I need to collect, what I need to shoot at, and what I need to avoid. Its got way too much chaos and it ends up being more frustrating that enjoyable. The fact this is still an issue is very disappointing and makes it hard to play. At the same time, the fact I’m still ranked so high after so long of not playing solidifies that point of too much chaos. I’ve never come remotely close to my highest score if I ever do play an endless mode. When you pair a quick to beat storyline mode, and a guarantee no chance to beat your endless mode score, there’s nothing to really play for….Version: 2.7.10

Not even close to the first oneI used to be a HUGE fan of the first game back when I was a child, I would spend hours playing even at school. I just got apple arcade and was really excited about playing this game. But, when I downloaded it, I found something completely out pf the essence of jetpack joyride, the endless levels (That used to be the only way to play it) where you would complete a couple challenges without dying, knowing most of the obstacles would onehit-KO you, are now just a secondary mode darkened by the new mode where you play for like a minute before hitting a boss and finishing him to end the level and keep going through the story (You read correctly, Story mode in this game for God’s sake!!!!). Besides all this problem I must say graphics look gorgeous and upgrades are much more fun now..Version: 2.2.10

Fun but…Short and full of ads on the main screen. I thought AA weren’t supposed to have ads?.Version: 1.0.13

Feels like it’s early accessJetpack joyride 2 feels like a sequel that just isn’t finished, and I’m not just talking about the lack of vehicles. Everything that made the original jetpack joyride great just isn’t here. One of the most important features is the fact that it isn’t endless anymore, which was the whole point. Now it’s separated into levels with an increasing high score you need to reach before the level ends. The slot machine and tokens are gone and just replaced with gems you can use to revive yourself. The new power-ups you can get in the run are cool, but it feels like they were put in to replace the vehicles. My biggest gripe is how the arcade game mode is required to play to upgrade the gadgets. Coins become more important as they are required to upgrade everything in the game from your health and damage to your vehicles and gadgets. So much new stuff has been added to jet pack joyride but doesn’t feel like it belongs, it’s just a separate game now. I hope this is not the finished game and receives continuous updates and love from the developers..Version: 1.0.13
