App Review: Jetpack Joyride Creators Make Another Game I Can’t Stop Playing
While I can understand the appeal of Jetpack Joyride, one of the best mobile games ever made, I could never figure out why Halfbrick Studio’s other huge seller, Fruit Ninja, drove so many gamers crazy. Now, days after the release of the developer’s latest game, I’ve finally figured out the secret: Halfbrick Studios is staffed by sorcerers.

The Making Of Jetpack Joyride
At GDC this year, Halfbrick put together a presentation on ‘The Making of Jetpack Joyride’, a game which I spent untold hours on public transport playing — and I’m sure I wasn’t the only one.

I remember the first time I saw Jetpack Joyride, almost 15 months ago at GDC 2011.

‘Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth’ — that’s what my Mum used to always say when I complained that the totally rubbish jumper my Gran bought me for Christmas was itchy/ugly/three sizes too small. Well, today Halfbrick has given us a gift horse — Jetpack Joyride — but it’s a bit of a stallion. No need to go near this one’s mouth — just ignore this utterly pointless intro and download it before they change their minds!
