    I ended up buying the Counterfeit Machine, albeit after having played quite a bit. Figure the game is definitely worth an extra buck and getting double coins is good (it does NOT count toward collect X coins goals - the doubling is only after the game is over).

    I finished all the missions tonight. The last two were tough. I like that you can then do them again for a different badge, but I'm going to let my kids play it through now, I think.

    so it's like call of duty, you keep prestiging? but if you restart, do you lose your stuff you bought with your coins?

    Does anybody else have the problem of their newest high score not being recorded on game center? I can see mine in the opening screen and the stats page, but an older high score is on game center and the in app leaderboards. This bug of my highscore not syncing properly has happened repeatedly. Anyone else notice this issue or is it just me?

    Did you have wifi when you got the highscore?

    Hi guys!

    Just wanted to give you a quick update on what's going on.

    Right now we are working on the update. It will come with a bunch of new awesome content, as well as bug fixes for most of the stuff that's been mentioned in this forum. The update will be done ASAP, as we really want to support this game and ensure its as awesome as possible for you all. More updates with even MORE awesome stuff will follow!

    In the meantime, its Friday afternoon here, so I wont be on here as much over the next 2 days (really need some serious sleep, have only had a few hours of sleep every night this week!). I also just wanted to say, on behalf of everyone at Halfbrick, thank all of you guys SO MUCH for your support. The Touch Arcade community is pretty much just amazing, and we love being on here and talking to you guys.

    <3

    Nope. It's rather brilliant, because you don't lose anything. You gain a new icon everytime you do it (IIRC there's something crazy like 100 of them), and you keep everything. You get to go through the ranks again, but it keeps the number going (i.e. the second time through beginner is rank 30 instead of 1, etc.), and you get all of the bonuses again (gotta get those Gold vehicles!).

    Support comes from people who recognize quality games and responsive devs. That's why you guys get so much :D

    Congrats on GotW and have a nice sleep (maybe you can subconsciously think of more things to create for JJ while you sleep :p)

    And it's the only achievement I'm missing. I'm having horrid luck with the machines there (yeah, low probability but I've played so many rounds).

    Better get it done before they add more machines and it gets even harder to do, haha.

    It's easy to get a lot more than 500m out of a ride, unless it's the gravity suit. Sometimes the hog, too, that's kind of luck-based. Not to mention you can get relatively huge amounts of coins while riding due to the magnet.

    What I think would be cool would be if making a machine gold caused it to turn up more frequently, so you're a bit more likely to get your favorites.

    This very well may be the best game in the App Store.

    Good game, enjoying it quite a lot.
    Isn't my favorite endless runner of all time, but it's definitely up there.

    I still want the damn achievements where I have to purchase "utilities" and use it to earn the stars to be gone. Please take it out.

    Congrats HalfBrick on making such a terrific game! Thanks to JJ, my devs got practically NOTHING done at the studio yesterday and I'm not really complaining :p

    We're happy to also verify (like many others on this thread) that the game is easily playable without any IAP at all, and all content is unlockable in a matter of a few very enjoyable hours! I myself am on my 3rd cycle through the missions and am happily collecting badges along with more coins than I know what to do with!

    Good Job HB and props for the very apt Rudyard Kipling reference! ;)

    Awesome game. I've already wrote my 5/5 App Store review.

    Please, make more missions because it seems I have only two more to go. Maybe a mixing between clothing/jetpavks and some tasks, just an idea.

    Great game!

    This game is so good! Loving all the references tossed in there, the profit bird definitely stands out. Really, I guess the only thing I could want more from this game is well, more. More missions, more jetpacks, more backgrounds, more clothes and more heads. Plenty of updates to look forward to hopefully. ;)

    Speaking of heads, I think there is one very, very minor typo you guys made in the stash re Barry's head, if it hasn't been mentioned yet. 'We love you just the way YOU (not your) are, Barry Steakfries.' That said, congrats on yet another great game!

    Hi Phil,
    May I suggest you guys create a system of some sort, for suggestions/improvements given by the community? I'm sure you'd agree that having a dedicated repository of ideas would be more helpful than having to comb through this thread as far as long-term ideas/plans are concerned.

    Perhaps creating a Social Group (http://forums.toucharcade.com/group.php) with an open-entry would be beneficial so that only people who are interested in helping improve the game can join in?

    More glowing reviews
    5/5 http://www.appspy.com/jetpack-joyride-review
    4.5/5 http://www.touchgen.net/jetpack-joyride-review

    Don't some of the scientists kinda look like smurfs when it get's going fast?

    Finished all the missions tonight and it's been a total blast!
    It's nice that you can go through them again instead of having no missions.
    The profile keeps some cool stats...damn, I've played this 6 hours already! :eek:
    I only got 43K coins on my first run through, l think I'm gonna get the counterfeit machine to double them on my next run and to show HB some love for such an addictive and fun game! :D
