Jetpack Joyride in IOS

★★★★★

★★★★★ Pretty good 😊

So I used to have this game on my old iPad but I’ve honestly forgotten about it. I recently downloaded it on my phone and it’s pretty good. I was also scrolling through the reviews and realized that the developers actually respond to the reviews and try to give a good response instead of the usual nonsense on mobile games. For example, there was a game that I wrote a review about a while back and I was complaining about the ads. The devs responded with something like “Please inform us of what ads you found disturbing.” ….. what? Now I don’t remember exactly what it was like back then but it’s still fun. I don’t get some of the price choices but if your spending money on these types of games than you just have a skill issue. I personally don’t think that the ads are all too bad but I usually just play mobile games without my wifi on. I’m honestly surprised that this game only has 90k reviews considering how big I thought this game was. This company is big on nostalgia for me cause they also made Fruit Ninja which was a surprise. Anyways have a good day and remember to stay weird, stay crazy, and stay you🫠🫠🫠

★★★★★ Ruined By Ads

well, 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.

★★★★★ Used to be awesome, now it’s just okay

I 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.

★★★★★ Used to be pure joy

I 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.

★★★★★ Crazy Story and Great Game!

Back in 2012, I used to absolutely grind this game and I loved it so much! It was on this old iPad that was really thick. I guess I must have somehow lost it or something, but I found the old heffer a few months ago sitting in the attic in a box (for some reason.) So I put the thing on charge with this really weird cable that didn’t have a usb and it turned on (after a few days)!!! So I clicked the rubber home screen button and I got struck with so much nostalgia! From Subway Surfers, to this one, wonky game where you connect these colors or something... but best of all: Jetpack Joyride!!! I clicked on the game and started playing. I didn’t realize how long I was playing until I checked my phone and it said 6am! I started playing at around 4pm the day before! This game is so addicting! I have now completed the game 87 times in less than a month! I love it! It’s a fun, addicting game where you get so many options; from gadgets to quests! I LOVE it!!! And to all the Jetpack Joyride haters out there, get a life, think twice and treat Jetpack Joyride nice!!! WHOOO!!!

★★★★★ ADS!!!!!!!!

Okay. I want to start out with saying that this game is very fun(almost addictive). It’s very easy to play this game and the almost-monthly events provide a nice way to get more gear. Some times, you’ll check the Costumes tab and realize that you have costumes you didn’t even know about. I’ve been playing this game for a long time and it has been a great investment of my storage. I would give it 5 stars, but..... THE ADS!!!!! Recently, they have added a new type of ad. This ad shows you a playable video, an overview of the content in the video, an “Open” button and a “Close” button. When you click on the “Close” button, nothing happens. When you click on the other button, it opens a website. I have opened the website AND watched the video, but I STILL cannot close the ad. If any developer part of the team that created this game sees this, please respond or change this. Besides that, I have no problems with this game( except that they have made the sleigh and the boat vehicles locked unless you pay for it, but they didn’t have this a couple of years ago) and I love the gameplay. Thanks for reading this, and have a great day. 😁

★★★★★ A Microtransaction Hellscape.

This used to be one of my go-to games a decade ago, but I recently re-download it and it is a hellscape of a Pay-To-Win game. Every time the main page loads it prompts you to either watch an ad, download some other game, or just straight up buy a virtual item for a ludicrous amount of money, and it is VERY upfront about it. Also, when it asks you if you want to watch an ad to get coins or extend a run, and you select no, IT PLAYS AN AD ANYWAY. This alone is reason for me to uninstall this app. They also use the terrible business practice of letting you purchase in-game coins for real-world money, then setting prices on items that are so high you’re basically required to buy coins in order to unlock them. I’ve never seen a game care less about it’s playerbase. There aren’t even 3 slots for upgrades anymore. This greedy company has downgraded to two and are making you pay a full $5 for unlocking the third. Add to that the fact that it plays a forced ad after every third run or so, the developers of this game clearly see their playerbase as nothing more than a source of cash to exploit for nobody’s good but their own. I am uninstalling this app and telling everyone I know what it has become.
