Jetpack Joyride

Jetpack Joyride puts Barry mid-escape from a lab that clearly wants him dead, and hands you exactly one control: a jetpack that lifts him when you hold it and drops him the moment you let go. That single input carries the whole game - lasers demand a level hover, missiles chase and force a dive, and the two hazards rarely arrive politely spaced apart.

Coins collected mid-run buy permanent upgrades to Barry's gear, so a run that ends early still pays forward into the next attempt. Distance is the number that matters most; a clean, steady hand beats a reckless dash through every obstacle every time.

How to play

Hold to fire the jetpack and lift Barry upward; release to let gravity pull him back down. Weave between laser barriers, zappers and missiles as the lab scrolls past. Grab coins as you fly to fund permanent upgrades between runs, and watch for scientists below - flying into their line nets bonus points. Survive as far as you can; your best distance is tracked every run.

Controls

Hold the left mouse button, spacebar, or press and hold on a touchscreen to fire the jetpack and rise. Release to fall. No other controls are needed - movement forward is automatic.
