Jetpack Joyride Drops Amazon Appstore Exclusivity, Now Available For All In the Play Store

Posted by in Games, News

Back in August, Halfbrick Studios brought their hit iOS game Jetpack Joyride over to the Android side. The problem was, though, you could only get it from the Amazon Appstore. That's not the case any longer, as the game has finally abandoned its exclusive period in the Appstore and is now available in the Play Store.

For those who may not have seen our previous coverage of the app or read Jeremiah's review (spoiler: he loved it), a little insight may be in order. For starters, there are only three words you need to know: Machine gun jetpack. If that's not enough, then here are two more: robot dragons.

[Game Review] Jetpack Joyride Is Everything A Mobile Game Should Be, Plus Robot Dragons

Posted by in Games, Reviews

The Rocketeer taught me three important lessons when I was a kid: Jennifer Connelly is smoking hot, Nazis are all evil, and the only thing cooler than a test pilot in pre-war Hollywood is a test pilot with a rocket pack stolen from Howard Hughes. Along those lines, Halfbrick's Jetpack Joyride made quite a splash on iOS, and now it's available on Android as a free game supported by in-app purchases. For the moment it's available only on the Amazon Appstore, but Amazon will kindly give you a $1 credit to download the game. That alone should be enough to catch your attention, but there's a great game in there as well.
