Join Barry as he breaks in to a secret laboratory to commandeer the experimental jetpacks from the clutches of science evildoers. After lift-off, simply touch the screen to ascend and release to descend, raining bullets, bubbles, rainbows and lasers downwards as you fly towards higher and higher scores!
You'll start off with the legendary Machine Gun Jetpack to scatter the evil scientists, but throughout each game you'll collect coins and complete missions to earn cash and buy new gear in The Stash! Pick your favorite jetpack, snazzy outfit and stock up on items then get back out there for more action!
Keen reflexes are your best weapon to avoid the obstacles in your path. These include lasers, electricity fields and even guided missiles, but thankfully this is a top secret lab - there will be even more goodies to pick up and help Barry along the way. Stay out of harm and you'll reach massive scores, unlock Achievements and beat your friends on the online leaderboards!
Get a boost of speed and power using the Lil' Stomper, Profit Bird and Crazy Freaking Teleporter, just a selection of the vehicles pickups available - all playable with one touch controls. You can even splash out and upgrade the vehicles with coin magnets or shiny gold plating for that bonus style factor!
Stay alive, get funky and lose yourself in Jetpack Joyride. There's so much to see and do, all the time in the world and more than enough jetpacks! As always, Barry Steakfries will provide!

What's New
Are you ready for this? This is the biggest update we have ever made to Jetpack, so strap in because you ARE going for a ride!!
*****
S.A.M. - The scientists at Legitimate Research have invented a new vehicle called the Strong Arm Machine, aka S.A.M. Collect the three special tokens each day to activate S.A.M. but be prepared! When you complete the token collection sequence you get to drive S.A.M. and defend yourself against a barrage of missiles!
No one really knows what purpose S.A.M. actually performs, but we suspect that it is for opening particularly tight jars. There are special rewards for activating S.A.M. and if you activate him for five days in a row you get to unlock exclusive costumes! There are 16 to collect right now, so what are you waiting for?
For those who do not want to complete the daily challenge for five consecutive days you can simply purchase each costume from The Stash to provide Barry with an even bigger wardrobe than ever!
*****
The Sleigh of Awesome - You can jingle all the way with this exclusive new vehicle. The scientists at Legitimate Research took the blueprint for Santa's Sleigh and pimped it out with rocket-powered robotic reindeers! This is one seriously heavy-duty sleigh and it is only available for the month of December, buy it now to add a new vehile to the garage and bring some yuletide greetings your way!
*****
There are also a host of minor improvements such as the new Game Center icon and performance improvements to ensure the smoothest ride possible!
