Childhood game.
Mon Aug 28 2023 AmessangerangelThis game is forever one of my favorites
It’s crazy to believe now I’m a grown man,
I used to sit in my room and listen to the radio and play this game in the dark when I’m supposed to be asleep for school, my mom checking up on me and me pretending to be asleep. We all can agree the OG jetpack joy ride will always be one of a kind. I miss those days I am very thankful to be alive now and I hope everyone a blessed day don’t ever forget someone loves you !💙

Apple Arcade
Sun Oct 22 2023 Zander2410I would like to start off by saying I love Jetpack Joyride. But, that’s all that this is. Except for the fact that you have to pay 5$ a month to play it.
I really like Apple Arcade, but all the “+” games are just the original games. It’s not bringing back nostalgia, if I wanted that I might as well just play the original game. It’s still published and is for free.
In other Review responses there has been responses of “we are just trying to bring back the original experience”, ok but like where did it go? Like bring back from where? You can still download the same thing but just for free!
I understand that apple needs to have these experiences so people want to keep Apple Arcade but this just isn’t the way to do it, it gunks up all your new games with old games that you didn’t really even make.
Thanks for reading, just giving my thoughts!
The definition of “+.” (Update)
Sun Mar 12 2023 Watermelon 245Everyone who has played this has been disappointed do to the lack of new content, which is honestly infuriating. Most people who purchased Apple Arcade because of this game don’t really know that when a game has the label “+” on it, they assume there is new content and/or features. Sadly with Apple Arcade this is not true, as Apple Arcade ports don’t add anything new, they just make the app available to Apple Arcade users. However, this version is considered as a downgrade, as there is no paid content, such as paid vehicles, a third gadget slot, and premium jet packs and vehicle outfits. As everything paid was removed. This however is not the problem me, as I never spent money on the game, and I found the ads in the free version annoying. If you were a fan of jet pack joyride and you don’t want ads, but you never spent money on the game, this is for you.
Update: Recent updates have introduced premium content from the free version and have made them available to purchase with coins. Game Center support has also been fixed.

Just Jetpack Joyride.
Fri Jul 23 2021 The Thousandth DeveloperStill feels great, still sounds great, and now without any of the usual mobile faire that bogs down far too many money vacuums that could be enjoyable game experiences.
It is just Jetpack Joyride, and that is fine.
Halfbrick, mind submitting a premium version of Jetpack Joyride 2 alongside your freemium launch? I think I speak for most everyone in wanting a premium version that is all about the game, whether it be Apple Arcade, a 5$ title, or otherwise. While I’m at it, I’d also like to note that console players would easily buy into the nostalgia if you’re looking to expand your clientele.
Overall Lacking As A New Game or Even Porting
Fri Jul 23 2021 Dr HypnusI love the original Jetpack Joyride, and I spent countless hours in it. Although I haven’t played the original for awhile, so I figured I will open up both the original and the + version.
The first thing I noticed was that my original record was completely wiped, so RIP all the skins and vehicles I have unlocked. Also, even if my old game save is still available, I cannot find anywhere in JJ+ to migrate save, so it seems I’ll have to restart from scratch anyhow.
Then I also noticed that all the event items/skins, and add on items are not there. Since the original game is still supported today and they is ongoing events, I keep wondering why I should play JJ+ if I can get more awesome customization in the original (other than no in-app purchase). I really hope they will be added to JJ+ in future updates.
All in all I think I’m having a different idea on what this game should include at initial release, and I can’t help but feeling a little disappointed. Between having to start from 0 again and no new exciting item to obtain (other than the base game + power ups), I don’t really feel very motivated to spend time on it like I used to to unlock everything. With that said, I do hope more updates will come in the future to add more items that already exist in the original game.
Good…
Fri Jul 23 2021 TechTonic7170I have played Jetpack joyride for years and I love it, and the short story of this game is that it’s just the same thing without adds. Now for some people no adds would be great except that now you can’t get a free revive at the end of a game or double coins collected. Im glad they took out in app purchases, but they just removed everything that could be purchased so if you wanted an extra gadget slot you can’t get one (there are only two in this game btw). I think this game has some potential though, if they were to add some more exclusive items or something else to differentiate itself from the normal jetpack joyride then I think this game could really work
If you bought the original game don’t waste your time here
Tue Oct 05 2021 Cat ChenThere’s no way to import progress from the original game. If you spent money in the original game or watch a lot of ads to get free stuff, you can’t inherit them here. Even if you spent a lot of time in the original game grinding, you still can’t get any of them here. This lack of progress import made me delete this game immediately and go back to the original game. (Other Arcade games, e.g. Alto’s Lost City, have progress import.)
The original game was designed to be a little bit grindy so you either spend money or watch ads, but that increases the level of enjoyment. This game simply removed all of those things without adjusting the economic. What’s left is the less enjoyable part…
It’s a good game but it’s a letdown.
Sun Jul 25 2021 AstralnekomimiJJ+ was advertised as Jetpack Joyride 2. This game doesn’t deliver on that premise. It’s literally the base game but with ads and IAPs removed. This normally would be a good thing, except that:
- In the base game, ads only serve to double your coins, give you infinite S.A.M. uses, and other stuff. Them not being here means the game is more of a grind than the base game, and it doesn’t add to the base game because ads never intruded on gameplay in the base game.
- In the base game, there are many skins and even entire vehicles that cost real money. The “Vehicles” menu button’s icon, the Wave Rider, shows one of these IAPs. Instead of letting the player unlock them with ingame money, they completely removed these features. Most of the IAPs don’t change gameplay THAT much, but when the Vehicles icon contains a vehicle the base game has but the rerelease does not have, that’s embarrassing.
This game is what got me to get an Appla Arcade subscription, the idea that there’s a brand new Jetpack Joyride game out there. But this game is just Jetpack Joyride 1.0 without the ads or IAPs. I cannot recommend this game in this state.
