Jetpack Joyride 1-3 Update Launches This Thursday
New Gadgets and "X-Ray Specs" Trailer Also Revealed
BRISBANE, Australia - April 24, in the year of our Lord
2012 - Halfbrick today announced that its biggest free
update for Jetpack Joyride, version 1.3, will be available for
download this Thursday, April 26. Players can also check out the
all-new "X-Ray Specs" trailer showcasing how they can use their
shades to see what Barry Steakfries' next ride will be in each
vehicle pick-up. No more guessing games dudes!
In addition to the "X-Ray Specs," 15 other game-changing gadgets
will also be available for purchase in the Stash, giving more
options for players stockpiling those hard-earned coins! With
more than 100 potential combinations, players will need to work
their way through five sectors in order to unlock every gadget
in the game. Players can also mix and match any two gadgets to
suit their own game and goals.
The complete list of gadgets include:
Sector 1: Research and Development
Air Barrys (3,500 Coins) - Leap gracefully over obstacles with
these designer sneakers.
Nerd Repellent (2,000 Coins) - The patent-pending formula is so
potent that the whole laboratory had to be abandoned.
Insta-Ball (2000 Coins) - Bounce off the floor instead of going
splat. Great for traveling a few extra meters.
Sector 2: Fringe Science
Gravity Belt (5,000 Coins) - Make the ground come at you a lot
faster than usual. Be sure to bend your knees when you land.
Missile Jammer (5000 Coins) - Replaces the missile guidance
program with pictures of kittens downloaded from the internet.
Only works if the kittens are particularly cute.
Token Gift (5000 Coins) - What do you give someone who has
everything? A free final spin token, of course!
Sector 3: Pseudoscience Action Group
Freeze-O-Matic (3,000 Coins) - There's no better way to cool
down after a hard run than being snap-frozen in a solid block of
ice. It also helps you slide a few extra meters.
X-Ray Specs (4500 Coins) - This high-tech eye wear is both
fashionable and functional. Now you can look inside vehicle
pickups and other places you're not supposed to see.
Gemology (6,500 Coins) - A special Blingification technique that
converts coins into high-value Gems. For some reason it only
works on coins minted in 1985.
Sector 4: Futureologist Lounge
Ezy-Dodge Missiles (5,500 Coins) - If you're going to play a
game of chicken with a missile, make sure it's an Ezy-Dodge!
Magnetic Tokens (4,500 Coins) - Every token is fitted with a
super-strong magnet. They are easier to collect, but will
probably wipe your credit card.
Flying Pig (6000 Coins) - This highly-unstable coin transporter
was designed by a scientist with a particular fondness for
physical comedy.
Sector 5: Testing Zone
Free Ride (5,000 Coins) - Stop off at the motor pool before
smashing through the laboratory wall. Why didn't Barry think of
this earlier?
Coin Magnet (6,000 Coins) - Once you get used to the feeling of
being endlessly pelted with coins you will start to wonder how
you ever lived without it.
Lucky Last (5500 Coins) - Your final spin token is forged from
fortunium, the world's luckiest element.
