Description:
Jetpack Joyride is a simple, one-button experience where players control the height of Barry as he rockets through the air, spraying bullets towards the ground. Obstacles will appear including electricity fields, moving lasers and even high-powered missiles in an attempt to stop the onslaught of action.Along the way, players can grab vehicle pickups including Gravity Suit Barry, the classic Badass Hog, a giant mech suit called Lil’ Stomper, and the bizarrely awesome Crazy Freaking Teleporter. To top everything off, coins can be collected to spend in-game on various cosmetic and functional upgrades. Want a top-hat? Sure. Double shields? Bam. A jetpack that looks like a shark’s jaws and shoots bullet teeth? Indeed so.Jetpack Joyride has been on iOS and Android for a while now but it has finally made its way onto Windows 8. The game is designed for touch but you can still play with a mouse. The controls are simple. Tap/click and hold to fly higher. Let go to let gravity bring you back down. There are many games that use this flying mechanic but Jetpack Joyride's take on it is refreshing.The beauty of Jetpack Joyride is the amount of power ups and items you can collect. Although the only goal is to get a high score, the game is still fun with variations in weapons, jetpacks, and challenges.
