Jetpack Joyride Now Available on App Store
Brisbane, Australia - Sept. 1, in the year of our Lord
2011- Acclaimed game developer Halfbrick today released
its biggest mobile title since its award-winning, smash-hit
Fruit Ninja. Jetpack Joyride will skyrocket players into the
latest adventure featuring the lovable and mischievous hero
Barry Steakfries, who captured hearts in previous Halfbrick
mobile games. The game is now available for download on mobile
iOS platforms (iPhone and iPad) for $0.99 from the App Store,
and has been selected by Apple as the official iPhone Game of
the Week.
Down on his luck, Barry discovers the ultimate opportunity to
turn his boring life into one of adventure, heroics and beach
chairs! Inside a "secret" evil laboratory filled with jetpacks
and mysterious obstacles, he commandeers the fun-fueled
technology and literally shoots for the skies on a shower of
bullets, rainbows, bubbles and more!
"What happens when Barry Steakfries gains control of the world's
most advanced and experimental technology? Either a boring
scientific study - or Jetpack Joyride. We prefer the latter."
said Phil Larsen, chief marketing officer at Halfbrick. "We love
Barry here at Halfbrick, and are proud to bring him back again
for the biggest, most outrageous, and, quite simply, the most
awesome mobile game of the year. Jetpack Joyride has everything
fans have come to expect from Halfbrick-it's simple, addictive,
easy to learn and, above all, incredibly fun."
While trying to escape the maximum-security lab, players can
dodge obstacles, collect coins and pilot crazy vehicles in
pursuit of the high score, tracked on global online
leaderboards. Joyriders looking to take the top spot can
customize and upgrade Barry and his gear with the craziest
technology, like coin magnets, score boosting bombs and a Shark
Head jetpack.
