Jetpack Joyride for Negative User Reviews
✓ Fun game, awful developerI used to love that game. But for years now they keep adding more and more ads that open in the App Store. ridiculously annoying! And it happens very often that even when you complete the challenges the game doesn’t seem to notice it and when you finally die, you have to start it all over. And on top of that, when you contact the developer, he doesn’t even care to at least answer back. They just ignore you..Version: 1.75.1
✓ AddsAll in all a good game but too many adds..Version: 1.11.1
✓ HeyI re-downloaded this and I remember it was super fun but a lot has changed, for the worse. I liked when you got free-range of outfits and jet packs which could be purchased with coins and how it used to keep track of how coins you picked up during your run. Also, you used to be able to have gadgets like coin magnet or having gravity-pulling boots, but now you get those when you play. I liked when you used to be able to upgrade the dragon or the robot dude so that they were gold plated and had coin magnet. but now, it’s all weird and I don’t like it. I wish it was the way it used to be. now you have to have all these thing to upgrade your jetpack and all this crap. It used to be a five-star game. also, it asked if ever played it before and I said yes, it still made me go through the tutorial and still had to start on a clean slate. I’ve spent real money on add ons before but I have to start all over again. I had the rainbow jetpack and my dragon was gold but nope..Version: 1.12.4
✓ I’m not happy about thisI have purchased a game pass and I deleted jet pack joyride by accident. Now I cannot use the game pass this was a waste of money!.Version: 1.16.1
✓ S.a.mThe Daily sam gifts responded by starting over.Version: 1.32.2
✓ What happened to the original Jetpack Joyride?I’m not sure when the game changed over to this current one, where you have to wait certain periods of time before your ‘fuel’ refreshes and you can finally open loot boxes. I can’t say I like this new version at all..Version: 1.12.4
✓ Fun game but…..It’s fun but when there is a event I can’t play regular. That makes it horrible..Version: 1.84.1
✓ Used to love game but no way to retrieve past progressThere’s no access for a Facebook login as far as I’m aware or to refresh old purchases like 2x coins etc I had purchased on previous devices and went to go try and beat some old high scores only to be presented with a clean slate and tutorial into a game I’m quite familiar with which is understandably disappointing it’s like paying for a lifetime membership at an all you can eat buffet and then having your membership taken as you don’t visit much🤷♂️.Version: 1.30.1
✓ Shocking developmentYears ago when I first played this game. It was a pretty solid one. Everything was like any classic, where you can unlock everything through in game coins which you can earn by playing a lot. Now its practically destroyed with in app purchases. To unlock the final gadget slot. You have to pay. To unlock certain skins, rather than having it at high coin costs. You have to pay real money. The wave rider. Which used to be free. You now have to pay for that. Honestly disappointed in this unfortunate development.Version: 1.71.1
✓ Too many ads 😓I get that they wanna get you to buy stuff but the stuff is WAY too over priced for anyone to be them. I think that only hardcore fans would get them and that they are are all young kids pestering there parents to let them buy it. There are also wayyyyy to many ads and when ever I try to click a button it just takes me to a stupid ad. I think you could tone it down a little. Thanks for reading this 😛😊.Version: 1.35.1
✓ Needs fixingThe game has not had any textural, terrain, or biome updates and is very bland. There is no flow to the game as you never get anywhere other than moving through internal spaces..Version: 1.12.1
✓ New update causes freezing after every death. Sort itBest mobile game ever, played it for years on every capable device. There is a defect in the latest update causing the game to freeze, usually after an ad, never in game. When i close the app it reloads and works fine apart from the hud if the coins has an extra 0. If it freezea when ranking up stars, the stars appear right along the screen. This is interrupting every 2nd-3rd game..Version: 1.9.31
✓ RUINED BY ADDSAnother classic game ruined by thousands of adds that is just way too annoying. the game stinks now.Version: 1.66.3
✓ Lost all processHave lost all data in this game including real life purchases.. if a dev gets in touch and fixes it I will make it a 5 star review because this game is actually quite good.Version: 1.37.2
✓ Not what it used to beI had everything unlocked but they took it away and reset my high score. Now they just cram ads down your throat so it's not even really payable anymore. Too bad because this was once an absolute must have game.Version: 1.87.1
✓ Adverts!!!!!!!!!I would have given this game 5 stars if it wasn’t for the adverts.. This game is amazing, no doubt about it. I PAID for this game when it first came out before it was made a free app and my biggest frustration is the introduction of advertisements after every game! I understand that adverts are there for the developers to earn money and to be honest, the 5 second adverts are acceptable - but when you are plagued with multiple 30 second adverts in a row, I just turn the game off. Won’t be long before I delete the game if this continues....Version: 1.17.1
✓ Pure GreedNever mind the progress that was deleted on my old account, never mind the countless ads I have to watch when playing, never mind taking away jetpacks that used to be in the game a few years ago, but charging for the third perk slot and the wave rider, things that used to be FREE in the game, that is the last straw. Half brick is a shell of the company they used to be back in the day and it’s sad to see them go down like this..Version: 1.14.2
✓ It lags!I can’t believe it lags, it’s such an old game… surely it shouldn’t lag on a new device.Version: 1.66.3
✓ High hopes, sadly disappointedI loved this game a few years ago and decided I wanted to play again. I downloaded it and was so disappointed to find that the game is basically unplayable due to the constant ads. I understand that ads are necessary if you don’t want to pay however the ads on this game are completely out of control. There are countless ads that you cannot skip and even a few where if you wait for the ad to stop and then try and click the x it takes you out of the game and to the App Store every time. I am so sad to be writing the review as my hopes were high for this game and now I am sadly disappointed and will no longer be playing this game..Version: 1.77.5
✓ Annoying adds caused to delete the gameI wish I could could you no star rating (if there was any option there? Everything you die, sends you 30 seconds annoying add, what a waste of time. Avoid downloading this game. I uninstalled it from all my home devices and will tell anyone whom I see playing to uninstall it..Version: 1.16.1
✓ Reset game progressEven when I had the game installed on my phone the whole time it just reset my progress one day. No..Version: 1.9.33
✓ Used to be pure joyI played this game endlessly years ago, a pure joy. I “beat” it twice, even. I spent a decent amount of money in addition to time, got all kinds of power ups, etc. I decided to fire it up today. Not only am I facing ads, something not present in the previous model, but EVERYTHING I previously purchased, earned, made progress with is gone. I’m using the same Apple ID now as then and there’s no restore purchases option. Nothing. So I have to start over and deal with ads? Developer says on other reviews the ads are to support ongoing development… Gameplau itself is pretty much the same, and the graphics now look like the N64 games that have been ported to the switch. It works… sure, but looks like sheetola on modern screens, which is wager 90%+ of your users now have. You need to fix the purchase restore/legacy backup issue, give us a clear option to buy out of the ads entirely, and sharpen the graphics! UPDATE- 5 minutes later: I see now that there’s watch a video to get this for free, to skip this mission, etc. really?? How about an option to switch off all these offers? Even if ads are gone, these offers are distracting, clutter the screen, and take away from immersing in the game. All around extremely disappointed. Y’all could have updated nothing at all it would be better than what you have available now..Version: 1.60.2
✓ Save the Scientists! 👨🔬💚👍 [Please read, Halfbrick!]Dear Halfbrick, I love Jetpack Joyride, and I’ve been playing since 2013. This game is so enjoyable and unique; I never get tired of it. The characters are lovable and there is so much content to collect. However, I feel very strongly that the poor little innocent Scientists of Legitimate Research should not be harmed! They are my favourite characters, and I hate to see them get hurt. Could you PLEASE add an Option or Gadget that makes them impervious to damage? I want to see them walking around their lab, and I don’t mind them running scared — I just don’t want them to get hurt in any way. They didn’t do anything wrong, and they are helpless little inventors! They’re so endearing and funny; I love your videos about them, and I know you care about them too. Barry even high-fives them, and they invent everything for Barry. . . Why would he hurt them? What he does to them when riding the Hog is just awful — why gun them down like a maniac!? That makes Barry look really evil... I know the Scientists don’t “die”, but please add an option or create a Gadget to disable this violence toward the Scientists. I love them so much, and a lot of people, as you know, would appreciate an Option not to hurt the Scientists! Please!? Save the Scientists! 👨🔬👍 Sincerely, “Techno” from Legitimate Research.Version: 1.34.1
✓ Great but bugsThe game is great but there are a few bugs you can’t equip vehicle upgrades when a pop up ad comes you can’t control what you are doing and sometimes my gadgets I bought won’t unlock. If they fix these bugs it would be a five star.Version: 1.9.33
✓ Too much adsGreat game but I stopped playing because too much ads. Got really annoying.Version: 1.12.10
✓ Greedy developers have ruined this gameI had this game installed on my old iPod touch many years ago and recently I decided to download it again. Immediately I was bombarded with ads and popups asking me to pay to stop ads. Not only that, but tons of skins and gadgets have been added since I last played years ago, and they all cost real money! It’s actually hilarious how they’ve monetised every possible thing in this game.Version: 1.78.3
✓ Ruined by adsThis was one of my favorite games and played pretty much every day but it has not only so many ads but 30 to 45 second ads to 30 seconds of gameplay. It plays a 20 second ad then another 15 second ad about the same thing then 20 seconds of gameplay followed by 30 to 45 seconds of ads. 👎🏼 I stopped playing 85 % of my games on my phone a few years back because of ads and every time I go back into play a game it just disappoints so much I end up deleting the app. I haven’t bought or downloaded a game in over two + years and I am reminded why every time I go on to play or download an app why I don’t use the App Store anymore. It makes no sense I use to spend $10 to $15 a month on games but we got the game the whole game with no adds now we have to pay three times as much for a game and it’s still full of adds 🤷🏻♂️greed has ruined the App Store and lost a ton of support in the process because of money hungry developers. I fully think you should be paid for your work and apps but to charge and then put ads in it anyway then find ways to get more and more money out of you this pay to play is ridiculous. Another old once great app gone deleted..Version: 1.38.2
✓ Deceptive Claim to Pay To STOP In Game ADS is a LIEAfter going over this endlessly with HalfBrick support about paying to stop ads and them never once saying that buying in game items will NOT stop ads generated as in game bonus was a very LOW thing to do. I will never again buy anything from this company as they deceive players into thinking they can stop their ads with no intention of doing this. I believe in supporting devs but this took everything to a new low. It’s shameful and bad business. That buying items won’t stop their popup ads under those specific circumstances should be made OBVIOUS and transparent prior to making those purchases but they are designed to make the purchaser think it will. Having played this game for years and buying from them I’m embarrassed to say they had me fooled for some time and I only now regret having been a good person in not speaking up until now. Buyer BEWARE of what the whole facts are before giving a dime to these companies for anything..Version: 1.73.2
✓ I keep on loosing my stuff!Dear game developers of Jetpack joyride. This game that you have created is overall GREAT but there is only one thing that I am really annoyed about which is every few weeks, I loose all of my jet packs, costumes, gadgets and skins that I have earnt, but not the money. I would’ve given this game a 5 star review if it didn’t have the problem that I am facing with. New topic, I also just wanted to give you some advice for jetpack joyride 2, with all the fighting of Thor bosses in this new game, the game really does loose it’s sense of jetpack joyride, and also the spin tokens in jetpack joyride when you play gambling in the game I think must be a way to be removed because the main audience for this game are kids, and if people get really attatched to this gambling, they might get them addicted to pokies..Version: 1.50.2
✓ Full of adsI’ve made purchases through this app over time, came back to it and it’s full of ads. Complete sellout and takes away from the game.Version: 1.18.4
✓ Worst possible controller supportIf you plan to play without an MFi controller, ignore this review. Still here? Cool. The developers have chosen to make the button used for your jetpack the same button used to purchase things. You know, when pop-ups appear at the start and end of a run. As a result, you'll continually find yourself purchasing things you don't want and you'll never have enough coins to buy the upgrades you *do* want. Super frustrating!!!.Version: 1.9.32
✓ It’s okWhen the game first came out it, was amazing couldn’t fault it, but now I’m the year 2022 it’s not great the only updates are events that are on rotation, anything new you have to pay for in actual currency, and anything you can get “for free“ is a ruse to get you to play there latest game packed with ads and no real enjoyment from as when you start gaining momentum, another ad is here to ruin the day ( Dan the man) and when you do complete the prologue nothing happens. All in all I’d say don’t waste your time, read a book..Version: 1.63.1
✓ Timeless Masterpiece to Master of Time WasteWhen I got this game on my iPod Touch it was an amazing game that I played for hours upon hours with the fun challenges and gunning down scientists with their own bullet powered Jetpack. I’ve revisited the game over the years and it’s always a fun trip, when they added ads at the end of runs it was a bit annoying but if they feel that is necessary to make money Then I support it. However, when I tried to get back into this game recently and I was taken aback by the astonishingly aggressive nature they have taken to get you to watch ads and pay money. Every 30 seconds I was presented with wiggling spend-money buttons, “promotion sales” and non-skipable ads galore. I’m sure there would be a larger fan base and more people willing to spend money on this game if they were to go back to the time when it was not so riddled with ads and progression blocks should you not spend money. It’s a disgusting practice and it’s unfortunate that it infiltrated a game I was so fond of as a kid..Version: 1.21.4
✓ Not the sameCame back to this game because of nostalgia. Unfortunately it is ruined by constant ads, everything is monetized, super intrusive notifications all over the place that you can’t get rid of unless you watch ads or buy stuff..Version: 1.85.1
✓ AnnoyingPop up in app purchases and unskippable ads? No thanks..Version: 1.9.31
✓ THE ADSBRO TO MANY ADS stop NOw.Version: 1.73.2
✓ DisappointedThe update is terrible. I hate it. Put it back to normal.Version: 1.12.5
✓ Faulty, and constant ads.I used to have this game quite a while back, it’s still a great game with lots of interesting features! However, one issue that I never used to have is that when I’ve finished a game, none of the buttons on the results screen work. As a result, I have to restart the game every single time. And I understand why apps have ads for profiting purposes, although they can get a little overwhelming..Version: 1.18.6
✓ Ruined by AdsUsed to be a great game when you could actually play. Now it constantly pesters you with in-app purchases and trying to get you to watch ads to get bonuses. If you manage to ignore that, it just forces you to watch an ad every time you die anyways. Garbage..Version: 1.14.2
✓ Fun game, but gives everything away through adsI remember when I first played the game, and it was a fun experience. I remember when Sam came out and you had to play daily to get it. I remember using slots to try and get a second chance to continue your run. Now you get a Sam for watching an ad, 2 second chances for watching an ad, double your coins for watching an ad, random gadgets for watching an ad, free spin tokens for watching an ad. Lay off the ads, just put them at the end of each round or something, don’t throw them into every reward, no wonder the leaderboard is screwed. My previous highest was 3000ish metres from skill alone, now it’s 7000 cause I watched 4 minutes worth of ads..Version: 1.20.2
✓ I understand, however...I have extreme nostalgia for this game and it's still a lot of fun to play! I understand HB feeling it was necessary to put things like the third gear slot behind a paywall, but if you're already running an absurd amount of (glitched) ads in your game, you need to be aware of how the actual game experience measures up. Either your game is an ad pusher or pay-to-enjoy, it cannot be both or you'll lose your player base. That being said, this game has a LOT of bugs and issues i don't remember from ten years back. The most glaring one i've discovered is that the X-ray feature doesn't have the vehicle names correctly coded, so most vehicles just say "string not found" when i scan them. Graphical issues such as stray lines of pixels next to the orange lasers are also abundant. I love this game still, it is fun to play, but you need to keep up a high quality experience to justify everything you're withholding so that people actually feel it's worth that $7 (!!) for *just* a gear slot..Version: 1.77.3
✓ Too many adsJust sell me the game and let me play ad free..Version: 1.9.31
✓ WackSo if you click I love ads it gives you an ad wow done with this game haha.Version: 1.86.1
✓ The Mission BarYou guys! Why would you change the mission bar! It’s so unsatisfying and boring and not what Jetpack Joyride is about! But not just that, the entire format has been ‘updated’ to the point where it’s actually been downgraded. Y’all ruined this game for me and I’ve been playing it for nearly 10 years. I came back to see the classic game I knew and loved turned into an ad infested modern mess. I truly love this game and newer generations will never experience the classics of this little gem. Makes me really sad. If you kind developers are reading this by some miracle please just take a look at what the game is truly about and make it great again. If nothing else please take that horrible mission bar down and make it star studded again. I’m just so disappointed in y’all. -Jetpack Joyride Veteran.Version: 1.18.1
✓ Terrible new updateThe new update changes the entire point of the game. It used to be about choosing your jetpack/gadgets from a massive range of things in the store and beating your high score and instead its now a boring level based game where you can’t even have a high score. Please bring back the old version because things like missions and SAM were the only things that made this game good and unique. If it doesn’t change back I’m deleting the app because it’s honestly not worth the storage space :(.Version: 1.12.5
✓ Turned into trashBought the game back in 2011. paid for double coins back then, now cant seem to get that back. now the game has become absolute freemium garbage. really sad..Version: 1.9.31
✓ 80% Ads 20% playingThe game use to be the one of my favourite so I redownloaded to play again, honestly don’t care my progress was gone that’s minimal but everytime I die a 45 second ad? Nah this company has just turned greedy.Version: 1.74.1
✓ Mobile gaming used to be fun, what changed?Back in the day I spent HOURS on end playing the game, ad-free, easy to learn, it was a great introduction to the world of mobile gaming, but then 2021 hit…oh boy, that year everything changed (not that I’d know because 2021 is when I got back to mobile gaming), constant ads, just ad after ad I can’t take it anymore, after I downloaded the game it was HORRIFIC to play, not to mention the choice of ads, most of them are inappropriate or bad, then there’s the pay to win aspect, just yet another cash grab like that new Sackboy game, back when I first played I had so many ideas for the game, like a multiplayer mode or a crossover with a big company, but now I feel like the only game I can play on mobile without worrying about ads is something like Roblox, 2 stars for the memories, Halfbrick..what happened to you?.Version: 1.76.2
✓ Ads are garbageThe game itself is really amazing but every time an ad finishes my game crashes. I am currently running iOS 11.2.1 and would really like to see this bug fixed or have an in-app-purchase that lets you have no ads..Version: 1.9.31
✓ Zapper-pack NightmareI was having fun with this game but then I realized that I can only play for a total of 7 seconds at a time due to the SINFUL amount of zappers they put in this game. This game consists of 15% add breaks, 5% gameplay, and 80% transversing one of the most annoying obstacles ever created just so you can get back to enjoying your game. I wonder how that office conversation went with the design team. “Oh, hey Jim! Should we install new and clever obstacles for our players to face?” “That sounds like a good idea! But I have a better one!” Said Jim as he rubbed rapidly melting ice cubes on his nipples “Let’s just junk the other obstacles and put like a bunch of zappers. Like a LOT of zappers. Like, Michael, look into my eyes.” Michael tries to turn away but Jim’s grip is too strong. He can feel his fingertips pressing against his skull like vice grips. Michael stares in horror as Jim’s eyes role back into his skull and the light is pulled from the room around him. “JUST. PUT. MORE. ZAPPERS! My queen demands it!” Jim bellows and unearthly screech as the office fills with an ungodly amount of poorly angled zappers. At this point, Michael knows his fate is sealed. Not because of the Lovecraftian monstrosity that became of his friend, but of the fact that he is surround by the worst obstacle designed in mobile gaming history..Version: 1.47.1
✓ New UpdateThis new update reminds me of another app and i deleted it after a while because i found it boring. I think i prefer the old version better or a good thing to do would be to add a a style like that instead of just chasing a boss. there also appears to be no more gadgets and i don’t like that. i think the gadgets are what make it better. i guess it’s just in beta/testing mode right now so hopefully you can make some improvements that are like the old version..Version: 1.12.5
✓ Update ruined itTerrible after the update changed it too much now it’s run on energy and levels.Version: 1.12.4
✓ A greedy nostalgia tripHalfbrick is a true pioneer of iOS game dev. This version of the game unfortunately is plagued by greedy microtransaction decisions and a constant bombardment of ads. 6.99 to unlock the third accessory slot is the biggest offense. Fortunately you don't need to buy these things to enjoy the game but the game ends up feeling incomplete without those purchases..Version: 1.16.2
✓ Not what it use to beThis game use to be amazing, I remember unlocking everything to work out all the unique gadget combos now it’s become pay to win and full of ads. What’s even worse is the game gets stuck after an ad has played and you can’t spin your tokens so you’re forced to restart the game and lose them. So sad that I lost all my progress from my old phone but there’s no motivation when you’re constantly stopped by ads and game crashes..Version: 1.12.7
✓ A nostalgic classic that lost its wayI remember sitting for hours on JPJ, an ad-free game where in game time and skill would allow you to buy more gadgets and gizmos to spend more time in game and unlock achievements. I’ve recently redownloaded this game to pass some time between meetings and the original look is the same whilst the feel is very off. My previous save doesn’t seem to have been ported to the cloud (‘no worries it’s been long enough that restarting can be fun’), however after my first death (and spins on the machine) I was hit by an ad (unprompted). This was never a thing, I can understand in app purchases and the option to ‘choose Ads for a benefit’ (though it’s yucky I understand it as a revenue stream for the developers). But a forced ad, I’d rather pay for the game. I suspect we won’t see this in JPJ 2 which is arcade (so that’s promising), but it looks like with 2 just around the corner, the developers are gonna continue to use JPJ as a cash cow that has been clogged to death. 5 stars for the game, -5 for forced ad and pay to play, +3 stars for the memories. RIP Barry..Version: 1.67.3
✓ -Okay so I’ve been playing this game for multiple years now, and in some cases I feel like the updates have actually caused more problems than fun. Each update passing by the UI gets more clunky, laggier and broken. Such as bugs and problems like the No ads glitch etc. I could even say good bye to one of my records which were taken away once because of crash the app had experienced. No offence, though I still love the gameplay! It’s just that if I want to keep enjoying this game the Ui should be changed/refined, without ruining the app even more than it has..Version: 1.18.2
✓ Add user switching for Apple TV please!!!!Add user switching for Apple TV please!!!!.Version: 1.73.1
✓ Screw Your GameNow that I’ve started playing this game again, I noticed something with the SAM daily login bonus. It’s harder and harder to find all the letters the more you play continuously. After losing my streak, I started over again at day one and it was easy to gather the letters. It took two different runs. Before my streak ended, it took many runs. I shouldn’t have to do so many runs for something that is only open for a 24 hour window. People have things to do. I like the SAM vehicle, and I don’t like it when the game is keeping it from me simply because I’ve played more than two days in a row. I also hate any company that forces video ads now my throat. You assume people using your app have the internet to waste on videos. You are forcing me to turn of my internet connection when I play to avoid a video every time I die. This was s good game, and still is, but I don’t know if I want to start playing it again given that it’s annoying me..Version: 1.14.1
✓ I’m getting annoyed ...It is very fun and interesting, and I like this game a lot, however there are WAY WAY WAAAAY to many ads, very repetitive, and extremely annoying. Then, the app continually freezes, crashes, and won’t let you do stuff. This is very annoying as I like the game. Please fix this immediately or I will have to delete it as it is getting on my nerves. Apart from this, I like the app very much. So please fix these few bugs. Thank you.Version: 1.10.3
✓ UPDATE: A great game ruinedMy original five star review is below. That was in 2011. By 2016 this game has been ruined by greed. It is one thing making the game free-to-play – quite another to force players to watch unskippable video advertisements after each round. I paid for this game; many others have paid multiple times over through in-app purchases. To then force ads on us is utterly gratuitous. Don't encourage such malign practices. Delete, avoid, forget – and try not to dwell on the tragedy of Halfbrick and what they have become. ----- My original review from 2011: This feels like the first fully mature example of what can be done with games on iOS: it's simple on the surface, easy to pick up and play, but packed underneath with layer upon layer of well thought out and original rewards, upgrades and changing dynamics to keep you coming back. It also has a genuinely beautiful design, exhibiting 2D charm and a wicked wit that has not been so skilfully carried off since the days of Rareware on the SNES. And all as a universal app for 69p. Halfbrick deserve to make a fortune out of this. It's fantastic. The only thing else I'd like to see would be more lives to prolong sessions, and somewhere we can purchase merchandise that shows off the wonderful artwork. Posters and t-shirts please!.Version: 1.76.1
✓ Ads break the gameI used to love this game, and had it on my old iPhone, where it worked fine. More recently however, I’ve been bombarded with ads after almost every run. I understand that ads are necessary to make money from free games, but the frequency is overwhelming, and I have an issue where if an ad plays before the final spin, the game becomes unresponsive and so I can’t claim any prizes as a result. Three stars because it is still a decent game, but I find myself needing to turn off Wi-fi to play the game properly - cutting me off from the online features such as S.A.M and cutting the team off from their ad revenue..Version: 1.12.4
✓ Ruined By AdsWell, i loved this game at one time. i still do. and it had been about 4 years since i had played it, so i came back to it because i spend countless hours on it years ago. i can still say i love the actual game and the features and everything you can do in it... but unfortunately, it’s turned into another game that has been almost completely ruined by advertisements. so many things require you to watch an ad to obtain that are free which isn’t the worst thing in the world, but it didn’t need to be implemented. i spent real money on this game before because i loved it so much and i’d honestly rather spend a dollar or 2 to permanently obtain something, rather than watch a million ads for it. the part that gets me the most upset is the fact that you could just play and play over and over again and accumulate your coins. now every few plays you’re forced to watch an ad for 30 seconds and it makes me just exit the game and turn the app off completely. it’s obnoxious. sadly i still love the game so i will likely continue to play, just can’t sit and play for an hour and collect coins and buy items from the shop like i used to... unfortunately i would have given a 5 star rating had the ads not made this game a complete disappointment now, but you get 3 stars. ads are ruining everything and when i saw this game bombarding me with them, i was sad. so that was enough for me to take 2 stars away..Version: 1.22.2
✓ Great butHey halfbrick I love jet pack joyride but if I could have some better features it would be my favourite game The features are token rush a power up which put lots of spin tokens all around for easy to collect but the tokens move twice as fast as average tokens so they are both harder and easier to get because there are more but they move faster there should also be a coin rush where there is an enormous wall of coins and gems but hidden directly behind the wall or missiles and and Barry should become magnetic when you get the coin rush Power up I will write the game five stars when I see those features added PS I am using dictate so I apologise if this review is a bit garbled.Version: 1.13.2
✓ DisgustedI remember playing this game a couple of years ago when gadgets were available, there wasn’t a LIFE concept and there wasn’t this silly campaign we’ve been given. The entire design of the game has changed from what it was, WHICH WAS BETTER! For the love of god, please revert all these silly changes that have just corrupted the game. What used to be a fun mobile app has turned into an add-on hungry game... The original was so much better. I can see this game completely losing its players quickly, these changes weren’t needed. I just want to have the little dog by my side again as a gadget. Where have they gone?.Version: 1.12.4
✓ Pay to enjoyI remember this game from years ago, you had to grind the coins to get the little dog, to make all your vehicles gold plated and to buy skills. Now there are adverts everywhere and you can just use (only) real money to buy some of these things. Just doesn’t make me want to play it as much as I used to. Pay for this, pay for that, I don’t know how this game used to make money but it was much better back then when the things I earned, had a sense of worth. If I hadn’t played it however many years ago, it’s a decent game. If you want to pay to win. And by win, I mean enjoy the game..Version: 1.38.2
✓ Concern about constant adWhy force us to pay ad remove even before it was free to play, now I’m just concerned why there is ad for almost every end of the game play.Version: 1.87.3
✓ Used to be fun, but...I can no longer migrate the game as I upgrade devices. The only sync method left is via Facebook, and I don’t use that. I spent hours grinding through all the clothing, jetpacks, etc., but they’re stuck on an old device and I’m unable to move the game to my new iPad. Support has been unresponsive on the issue - I’ve reached out multiple times but they don’t reply. June 21 update - I’ve received several unhelpful replies from Halfbrick support. One to ask if I still needed help. Another suggesting I upgrade to the latest version of the app - which I told them I was already running when I opened my support case. And one suggesting I try syncing with Facebook - which I told them I don’t have, which I also told them in my original support ticket. Their lack of a timely response is frustrating. But even more so is the apparent lack of effort they put into understanding a user problem report before responding. Seriously disappointed in their service. June 28 update - No response since my last update. Halfbrick support has gone dark. July 3 update - Halfbrick states the only method to transfer games is via Facebook. Ridiculous. The prior in-game method worked well enough for my needs. And Apple certainly offers a method. This should not need to use an unrelated service (Facebook) to manage game transfers. Pathetically slow response by Halfbrick and feature deprication keep this at a 1 star rating..Version: 1.18.2
✓ Great game bring being ruined by adsThe game is great to play. It’s been my go-to when I’ve have a few minutes free. Not any more, though. The ads are now so noisy and annoying that it’s ruined the game for me..Version: 1.10.3
✓ Great game but music isn't working?I love this game and i've been playing it for ages but recently the music hasn't been working. ive made sure the music setting is on, my phone isn't on silent and that the game is updated but it still isn't working, makes the game less fun :/ works fine on my iPad but when playing on my phone it's just sound effects, no music :(.Version: 1.52.1
✓ What has happened to the game?!Dear Halfbrick studios I have been playing Jetpack joyride for a long time and have become accustomed to free run jetpacking but with this update you no longer have infinite runs because you have to use fuel and on top of that you have to complete levels? I believe that you should have free play as a main menu but if players would like to do the story line then there should be a button to do that. And why would we need fuel to jetpack? I like jetpack joyride because I could play it all the time and never had to stop. And what happened to the S.A.M mechanic where if you collected all the S.A.M pieces you could get exclusive costumes. Ontop of that we can no longer customize our character, equip gadgets, or upgrade our vehicles. In all I wish that you could bring back the original jetpack joyride and such..Version: 1.12.5
✓ What happened?…For the past 7 years or so, I’ve been playing this game. I love it. But in the past few years I’ve noticed an issue with the game. Back in 2015 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of back to the future (trust me this is relevant) half-brick made a special event that added backgrounds, vehicles, and costumes from the film series and back then these events where… you know… SPECIAL. Now every god dam day it seems like there’s another special event, and that’s not the worst part, no no no. These almost weekly events are just the same ones that they already made for example the TMNT event or the Star-Trek event or the ghostbusters event or even the once special back to the future event. THEY JUST KEEP RE HASHING THEM! WE DON’T NEED MORE EVENTS JUST GIVE US BACK OUT BELOVED GAME AND MAKE SOME NEW EVENTS. OR AT LEAST STOP RE USING THEM SO MUCH! half-brick if you reading this, I love This game but you guys are selling out and making the game worse. Just stop doing special events every month and only start doing them when they are warranted. Please. have a nice day..Version: 1.64.4
✓ SucksFrick this game!!!!!!!..Version: 1.87.3
✓ Ad spamming. Yet again.I used to like this app until it became infected with an excessive amount of ads. No, I’m not going to pay for your ad blocker. I’m simply going to delete the app..Version: 1.70.2
✓ Don't spend your money on this gameWas a great game until all my purchased jetpacks, upgrades and clothing all got deleted.... And then not long after, all my trophys and achievements got deleted too. Makes many hours of gameplay a total waste of time. Halfbrick needs to sort this problem out and reinstate everyone's achievements and purchased gear. Or at least refund any real money spent on in app purchases that have now been deleted..Version: 1.2.5
✓ Well..I’ve had this game on and off since 2012 and I’ve loved it. I transferred to a new iPad, and all my progress is just gone. Which is distressing considering how long I’ve played this game and that it has been linked to facebook for years and it says nothing is there. Furthermore, OG players will know that it was much more straight forward to buy Jetpack and ext and you had 3 gadget spaces rather than the current 2 with the option to buy the last one. It’s slowly lost its appeal, what made it such a cool game back then. I won’t deny there are some cool new features that have been added, but considering everything else, its just not as good..Version: 1.34.1
✓ It’s a great game but......Jetpack joyride is my favourite game(especially with the Easter hunt) but there is just one issue with it. Every time an ad pops up it for some reason breaks the game and I can’t press anything else but have to restart the game which loses all my progress(except the eggs) and I have to grind to get it up again. Plz fix. I love the game :).Version: 1.10.3
✓ GreatThe audio is not working and the last time I played this,there were events such as the bling it on, the cut and run(an event celebrating the Anniversary of fruit ninja also made by Halfbrick), Zappy bird, and pirate pillage. Please fix the audio and add the said events. I will give it three stars if you do. Disclaimer: I didn’t actually play through the pirate pillage or zappy bird events or even the more seasonal events, but I still want them in a future update.(Doesn’t even have to be the next update) Update: The audio actually was working, but it was just muted. Please add the aforementioned events in a future update. Update 2: have you considered adding event-exclusive final spin prizes?(e.g. random vehicle next round, tokens x4, tokens x6, tokens x8, tokens x10, tokens x12, tokens x14, tokens x16, etc) Update 3: thank you for adding the events I requested to be added. Update 4: When I opened the app, there was no tab for the Bling it on event. Pretty Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease fix this as soon as possible. Update 5: I restarted the app and solved the problem. I totally love how if you already had the gold version of a vehicle prior to the event, you instead get a ton of coins. I am still wondering if you’re considering my suggestion from update 2. Please respond..Version: 1.24.1
✓ It’s okIt was so fun but one thing is that it just glitches and it take 15 seconds to start up again and you have 1 second of it moving but then it stops again and it does not stop it does it through the whole time your in the game, and they need to fix it, and it would be annoying for if the new Challenge on Jetpack Joyride when you are collecting the tokens and you can’t because it glitches all the time. They need to fix it..Version: 1.24.2
✓ Beginning of the End?I’ve been playing Jetpack Joyride since the very beginning. Day one! I remember following development of the game when, if memory serves, it was going to be called Machine Gun Jet Pack. Or something similar. I’m knocking on the door of 50 now and the old noggin isn’t what it was. In any case, I’ve been playing (and loving!) this wonderful autorunner since buying it the minute the App Store refreshed and J.J. was ready for purchase, but I now have not one, but two issues. [01]. I play on an iPhone X and the awkward on-screen 'home bar' is a problem. If you take a look at, say, Don’t Starve, Inside and Real Racing 3, you’ll see that the home bar is partially hidden and, more importantly, inactive. It requires two swipes to close the app, but Jetpack Joyride doesn’t adopt this method. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve unintentionally closed the app mid-game. And so many needless game overs as a result! Please fix it. [02]. As previously mentioned, I BOUGHT this game with cash! Then why am I subjected to so many adverts every few runs?! I’ve also bought the game on PS4, Vita and PSP, and this just isn’t right. I’m hoping you’re able to address these points. Otherwise, I just don’t have the patience to stick with it, and with a heavy heart, Barry and his amazing Jetpack will be destined for the knackers yard..Version: 1.12.8
✓ Shady PracticesRecently came to light that although I’ve asked for the app not to track me and turned off everything I can do, it seems the developer has tried to circumvent Apple’s privacy options. I understand about the privacy labels but for me, the fact they are being shady and not forthcoming, the constant ads has made this game and the development team a big red flag. If you care about good practice and honest business practices, do not use this teams apps..Version: 1.52.1
✓ EhThis game is really fun but there are quite a bit of ads and for some ads there is not an x so you have to close the tab and join back in.Every once in a while it asks if you want to pay $2 for no ads, then right next to it says says I love ads! And if you click that it gives you and ad.Version: 1.72.1
✓ KewwwjejejeLET ME OUT OF THE FREAKING ADS!!!.Version: 1.9.29
✓ What happened?Getting rid of the star collection mechanic with the missions was not the move... honestly i’ve been playing this game since it came out and the nostalgic feeling of getting those stars and completing the missions to get to “BARRY” was more fun than how it is now. the navigation of the game now is so messy and confusing, and the most recent event either the skulls is bugged out because it says, for example, that i have collected 211 skulls but i can’t even collect the 150 skull prize? i dunno it’s just not the same before.. if you want it to be in classic mode that’s what i expect to see with the classic home screen and classic mission mechanic. i honestly don’t even want to play this game anymore because it’s gone. sure ads were a mess but dang. this update changed a lot of this game and it’s not even worth getting into it anymore..Version: 1.18.1
✓ Bad game nowIt’s hard to see something so nostalgic Turn to a husk of its self. I still play the game but it’s nothing like it used to be:(.Version: 1.75.1
✓ Og version =BetterI used to play Jetpack joyride back around let’s say 2015 on my old iPad,I don’t think there was any adds then! Also can you please give players a way to earn some of the items you have to pay for since I used to have the Wave rider (which I do think one of my parents bought me but ok) which was cool! Please read this and ty for reading it too!.Version: 1.45.2
✓ A bit repetitiveI find this a bit too repetitive and a bit too easy to die to be honest. It could be fun but unless you are about 18 and grew up with a computer attached to both thumbs, it is a bit of a struggle to get too far along without dying. It is very annoying that you have to start at the beginning every time: a novice mode where you get 3 lives or something would improve playability I think. Also a lot of the things you can buy add very little to the game apart from looking different and it is hard to see the point of that..Version: 1.0
✓ They ruined the gameI can remember a time where I could equip all three gadget slots without paying money. I remember a time where I could play the game without all the popup ads. I remember a time where I didn’t have to pay for everything this game has to offer. I remember a time where my I would spend hours of my youth collecting coins and buying different outfits and experimenting with different gadget combos. Those are now all gone. Now, you have to pay $5 for the third gadget slot. Now, you have to watch popup ads every few runs in game. Now, everything fun and exciting about the game has been turned into a blatant cash grab by the dev team. I left two stars in spite of all of this because there are still some fun experiences. That being said, most of the game for me is spent remembering the times when the game was truly fun..Version: 1.28.4
✓ Recent ad and promos make this game a chore to playI saw a colleague playing this game a few years back and I downloaded it soon after. It was a great little time waster that gently nudged you to purchase add-in’s or watch adverts for bonuses and/or bonus features. The recent updates have choked the game full of so many intrusive and compulsory ads that I switch the game off after a few minutes at most. Progress seems to have been throttled so much that you need to purchase the upgrade packs or endure a very long and tedious grind..Version: 1.24.2
✓ FURIOUS !!!!Hi I’m very mad today. Woke up with the urge to play jetpacky joyride. My most favourite application to date. The game that fills my heart with pure joy every time I tap into it. Right. So. This is where my story begins. I jump on the game. One of my missions: collect 4 spin tokens in one game. I get it going. I start flying using my 30,000 coin water jet pack. I’m on a ROLL fellas. I collect one spin token. Two. Three! She’s getting faster and my stomach is churning at the thought of death before being able to complete my mission. I see it. In the distance. I go for it. As I’m going lasers pop up. I may not get it. But in the last second I reach for just one last breath of air to get that 4th spin token. I get it. I die. 4 SPIN TOKENS IN ONE GAME WHERE IS MY MISSION COMPLETION AND THREE STARS IM LEVEL 13 BARRY AND I AM NOT OK. Sister out.Version: 1.13.2
✓ A few problemsThis game is still a classic and very fun, but... when ads appear after dying and I close the ads when possible the game screen freezes so I have to close the app manually and reopen which is quite a nuisance especially when you reach a very high score and a lot of spin tokens and/ or completed missions and it does not save any of it. Please fix soon or will delete.Version: 1.11.2
✓ Used to be awesome, now it’s just okayI used to play the heck out of this game, me and my dad were constantly competing against each other for the best record. Anyway, the progress and items used to rock. I remember that the in-game purchases were pretty low, but I gladly paid for the money doubler because I loved the game and it seemed worth it. But now ads are everywhere in the game, and everything requires multiple purchases. You can pay $1 to disable “pop-up ads” which is good, but that doesn’t stop the constant reminders to unlock different items by watching ads. The SAM skins all cost $2 each? That’s ridiculous. And the Back to the Future promotion is $10?? You don’t even get that much. All in all, if you were to buy everything in the store, it’d add up to around $50, and the content you get is just not worth it. Even if you did that, you still would be to buy anything else that they add in the future, so even then you don’t get the full game. Instead of spending $10 for some Back to the Future skins, you can use that money to buy a full game that doesn’t shove ads in your face and doesn’t need more in-game purchases. Sad to see such a great game go this greedy route, but it’s still fun for the most part. I really wish they would update the graphics though, they’re really fuzzy and haven’t really been updated despite all phones having HD displays now..Version: 1.30.3
✓ BRING BACK COLLOSSATRONPlease, I will rate 5 stars.Version: 1.16.2
✓ Can’t enjoyI understand that you need ads to make money, but an ad after every round that automatically opens the App Store is absolutely unnecessary and ridiculous. This is infuriating and no longer fun..Version: 1.66.1
✓ It doesn’t Restore Purchases!!I got this game a couple of years back and played it for a good portion of my childhood, spending a lot of iTunes gift vouchers on it. I deleted it for some reason, but today I felt like some nostalgia and so I re-downloaded it and clicked restore purchases. It gave me nothing!! I had bought the Santa slay, the wave rider, no ads, back to the future and the ghost busters jetpack!!! I haven’t changed iTunes accounts ever and this is the biggest ripoff I’ve ever seen. I would like a response developers?!.Version: 1.20.3
