You need a subscription otherwise you get a trial. The games probably worth like 5 dollars, I should have an option to buy it outright. A subscription is completely unreasonable. Proof that times are changing, you can’t even enjoy a game you used to play as a kid in school because they butcher it so badly it becomes unrecognizable, so I was relieved to see a classic version as anybody who got to play this when it first came out knows how much fun it was. Nope, you can’t even do that. You can’t even enjoy a game you used to play freely every day as a kid because tiny money hungry little goblins have their stinky grubby hand out waiting for you to put money in it, so you can’t even look forward to playing the original. When you DO say okay fine, let me mess with the trial, the game dosent even have sound or music. You couldn’t even be bothered to make sure the game has sound but I guarantee the payment processor works without a hitch. You got your green little goblin fingers extra sticky huh? Trying to take advantage of nostalgia, by baiting people who you know were kids when this came out, into paying a subscription for a game that’s not even worth more than a few bucks. Of course you had to find a way to milk every dime. At least let me buy the game out right. At this point you’re better off just playing the current “Jet Pack Pay Up”. At least when apps wanted money in 2012, you usually got your moneys worth. At least in 2012, the app you spent money on usually worked. Y’all want money for something you couldn’t even bother to make sure worked properly. The classic game itself should be a single payment 5 dollars, what on earth is this subscription for? Shame on you for praying on the nostalgic memories this once great game gave me. I’m willing to bet the ones who made this gem aren’t even with halfbrick anymore. You should change your name to “Hollowbrick”.
I’ve been playing this version of Jetpack joyride for a bit now and I can say how wonderful it is to not have to have ads or pay for anything, but some features from the original would be nice. Sure it’s great already but I think the teenage mutant ninja turtles mode along with the ghost busters one would be a great addition. I would also like to see customization for the S.A.M in this one. Also once you have finished most stuff it feels like there’s just nothing to really unlock anymore, so maybe more level rewards would be nice, like add more jetpacks and costumes to unlock. Also would it be possible somehow to port stats from the original game to this one? That would also be a great feature. Thats all thanks.
You know the game. It’s the early 2010s and infinite endurance games are all the rage. This game stands tall as a venerable classic. This version is the current version but with what is in my opinion a super polished progression system with all the advertisements, micro-transactions, and crossover content stripped clean. And I love it. I would’ve happily paid a box price for this version of the game. My only complaint/wish is that they would have the intro tutorial music play on every from-the-main-menu run and have it flow into the classic theme that then loops. I have heard extended versions that merge these two and it is fantastic.
