Jetpack Joyride Original

Jetpack Joyride (2011) is a side-scrolling endless runner game released by Halfbrick Studios, the makers of Fruit Ninja. Barry Steakfries returns as a character, this time attempting to steal an experimental jetpack from the laboratory of Legitimate Research.

The game features numerous obstacles on your way to a high score and the pace of the game, as is standard for endless games, increases as you progress. You will die eventually but just how far will you go?

You can find and play the original game on iOS, Android, or most web browsers.
