Jetpack Joyride Heading To PSN
November 20th, in the year of our Lord 2012 --
Brisbane, Australia and Kiev, Ukraine – Halfbrick Studios and
Beatshapers are proudly to announce that one of the biggest
names in mobile gaming – Jetpack Joyride coming to
PlayStationŽNetwork! With over 35 million downloads around the
world so far, millions more can now suit up as Barry Steakfries
and join in the high-flying phenomenon.
Down on his luck as a struggling gramophone salesman, Barry
comes across the "secret" laboratory of Legitimate Research, a
corporation dedicated to developing crazy new technologies.
Seizing the chance to become a hero, Barry begins his ride after
commandeering a jetpack and making good his escape, where the
player jumps in and guides his adventure with accessible
one-button gameplay.
Along the way, players must avoid lasers, missiles and electro
zappers, all the while grabbing coins and trying out even more
ridiculous vehicles – Lil' Stomper, Profit Bird and the robot
dragon himself, Mr. Cuddles!
Supporting the action is a robust Stash system, where everyone
can track their progress, upgrade their gear and buy new gadgets
for Barry. Grab one of many jetpacks including the classic
Machine Gun Jetpack or the colorful Rainbow, suit up in a vast
wardrobe of unique costumes and make sure Barry's best friend
Flash comes along for the ride!
Recipient of many Game of the Year awards and celebrated as one
of the most popular mobile games of all time, Jetpack Joyride
has now come full circle in one of the year's most anticipated
PlayStationŽNetwork releases.
The game will be available for $3.99 and has been rated E10 by
ESRB.
