Dinsun Review
Dinsun here. If you haven't played Jetpack Joyride, you've probably been living under a rock for the last decade. It’s the quintessential 'one-tap' game. It’s flashy, loud, and incredibly fast. The 'plus' version is a relief—it’s the game we loved before it was smothered in microtransactions.
However, it's still an endless runner. There’s no ending, no deep plot, and no real variety after the first hour. It’s a 75. It’s the perfect 'waiting for the bus' game, and it’s a great piece of mobile history. But as a 40-year-old, I find my patience for 'going as far as you can' is starting to thin. It’s high-quality junk food.
