It’s been an amazing year for Jetpack Joyride and the lovable Barry Steakfries has now entered the hearts of millions of people around the world! Thankfully, Barry’s heroics haven’t gone unnoticed and Jetpack Joyride has received remarkable coverage and stacks of great praise to close out the year.
The game was a staple on ‘Best Of’ lists the world over and we couldn’t be happier with the awesome response! This has further fuelled the fire at Halfbrick and we’re super excited to bring you even more awesomeness and game changing updates in 2012.
We're also totally stoked to offer Jetpack Joyride FREE for a limited time as a special thank you to our brilliant fans who made the year so incredible.
Here's a quick wrap-up of what the media had to say about one of Halfbrick's biggest releases to date.
