Jetpack Joyride 2 will be released exclusively on Apple Arcade

Jetpack Joyride 2 is out exclusively on Apple Arcade. New character, new mechanics, improved graphics, a good dose of nostalgia, just the way we like it.

It’s been over 10 years now, but be that as it may, players are finally eligible for a sequel to the highly successful Jetpack Joyride. Unfortunately, not everyone will be able to immediately take advantage of this.

This side-scrolling endless game is more story-focused this time around, with a new playable character (Betty Beepy) as well as new mechanics and more detailed graphics. So, it’s easy to say that Halfbrick Studios has brought their game into the modern era.

New character, new mechanics, improved graphics

The original game appeared on Apple Arcade last year as Jetpack Joyride+, giving fans a basic gaming experience without the need (or ability) to complete any microtransactions. The game was born for the first time in 2011, it allowed to define the rules of the runner with other classics such as Canabalt or Temple Run. Since then, the signature game Halfbrick has still racked up over 500 million downloads.

Good dose of nostalgia, how we love them

The Jetpack Joyride 2 on its own, however, can’t justify an Apple Arcade subscription and spending $50 a year (or $5 a month), but it’s a nice extra dose of nostalgia for a service that already has one good number. If you are a subscriber, keep going. That being said, if you have absolutely no desire to subscribe to Apple Arcade, you’ll probably be more comfortable playing some of the recent games that play the nostalgia card but take full advantage of the device’s capabilities. brand.
