Collect the low hanging coins and avoid the lasers! Jetpack Joyride was released by Halfbrick Studios in 2011. Now is definitely the perfect time to revisit this tutorial using Unity’s beautifully matured 2D feature set and their revamped UI system. New to the game is a feature called ‘factory’ that produces these in-game currencies.With the release of Unity 2017.3, much has been refined or completely changed since Kirill Muzykov’s superb Jetpack Joyride tutorial. Coins can be used to upgrade your health, and improve firepower and there’s also the garage section for upgrading your vehicles. The game also features new upgraded systems. Usually, levels last a few minutes, and these levels introduce new enemies and boss fights that keep players invested in a game. The game is divided into different levels set in different labs. As you fly or run, you collect coins that can be used to unlock items and upgrades.Īlthough the gameplay remains simple, it’s the levels that hooked me to the game for hours. The objective is simple, the longer you run/fly, the higher Barry flies. To help Barry escape from the laboratory, you simply need to tap anywhere on the touchscreen to activate the jetpack.

What’s different about Jetpack Joyride 2 is that it is no more an endless runner – there’s a proper ending to it. However, now the protagonist automatically shoots while he flies plus, the sequel also gives you guns and special weapons to shoot the enemies. You control Barry, the same way you did in the original game. There is a proper story, and the sequel feels like an expansion of what the OG game did with an upgrade system and has multiple levels, and for a change, the characters are given dialogues.

Jetpack Joyride 2: Playable on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV I will tell you everything about the game- the story, gameplay, graphics and whether Jetpack Joyride 2 is worth your time or not. I have been playing Jetpack Joyride 2 for what appears to be an eternity, and found it to be utterly delicious. That said, I have a huge appreciation for the work done by Halfbrick Studios, the developer that also gave us casual yet addictive games such as Fruit Ninja in the past. ![]() I’m a side-scroller shooter devotee and I get easily drawn to 2D platformers where mechanics are simple yet incredibly deep. ![]() And Barry Steakfries, the indefatigable hero of Halfbrick Studios, is back at work for this one. After 10 long years, the Australian studio is back with a sequel to Jetpack Joyride, though this time the game is Apple Arcade exclusive. Even after so many years, it is still an addictive game. In fact, just last week, en route to Wayanad, I played the original Jetpack Joyride on my iPhone. I was first introduced to Jetpack Joyride in 2012 (exactly a year after the game’s iOS debut) when I played the much-acclaimed title on my Playstation Vita. ![]()
