    Awesome, I made it 9,431 m!

    I'm bummed that I got a revive so late, and only made it about 200 more meters; those zappers are ridiculously difficult to dodge at that distance.

    Still, I'm in the top 10 :D

    What the heck! Traveled 4967 (after final revive and blast) with 7 tokens, thinking I finally made 5,000. All I got from final spins were 1200 coins and a head start....Argh!

    Here are some of my stats. Can't believe this game has only been out for just a week now. I think I have a problem...

    I dont know if this has been mentioned before but i think it would be pretty awesome that in one of the future updates there should be a multiplayer mode like they have in doodle jump where u have to outrace ur opponent to a certain destination or distance. You can probably also do some variations with this like different multiplayer modes or something. just a thoght though

    They've really nailed down rewarding the game player in this game. Each game played is only a minute or two in length, but I've sat and played it over and over for hours. I like how they give you incentive to re-play the game once you've beaten it. I hope they come out with more jet packs, vehicles and level backgrounds in updates soon.

    MicroByte, how did you spend so many coins? Also, you're number one on the overall distance leaderboards now, congrats :D (when the cheater is taken out, of course).

    Is it weird that I bought the counterfeit machine two nights ago even though I already owned every nonconsumable?

    Not at all, that's exactly what I've done!

    I figured I'd earn everything I wanted, then spend another buck to show my appreciation. I'm still playing though!

    Ha srsly?
    Where do I live?
    I've been playing for a little over 6 hours and I'm almost done buying everything.

    I was thinking about things they can do/add.

    Clothing
    Money clothes - as you fly cash flies around you
    Cost 50,000 per top/bottom
    Effect - double money (quadruple if you have counterfeit machine)

    Golden Armor - shiny and gold
    Cost 75,000 per top/bottom
    Effect - 2 lives

    Ghost Gear - ooo so scary
    Cost 150,000 per top/bottom
    Effect - ability to go through coins, tokens, vehicles, and scientists

    Utilities
    Profit Bird - Counterfeit Machine (grants double money while in the vehicle) (can get up to 4x money with money gear)

    Jetpacks
    Magnetic Jetpack - Works like a real magnet ;) brings money/tokens to you
    Cost 100,000

    Cloud Jetpack - Able to shoot out clouds merely cosmetic

    I'll edit this as I think of more!

    Thanks! It's a little disheartening to see a fake score on top, hopefully it is removed.

    Just spend on all the usual power ups.

    This game is like a passive zen when I'm doing other things. :)

    Agreed that we need gear with effects, although I'm actually hoping any gear that has powers like that also has major drawbacks.

    For example, for money doubling maybe a golden "Midas Jetpack" (which shoots coins, but not really from your stash). All coins you rake in are doubled, but vehicle icons and spin tokens are turned into giant coins (which are worth several regular coins).

    If there's some kind of armor that gives you an extra hit before you die, then it should also be really heavy so when you're not in a vehicle you rise really slowly and drop rapidly.

    Basically, stuff that makes for an alternate playstyle, rather than something strictly better. Otherwise there's actually less of a choice about what gear to use.

    Hi guys!

    Sorry I've been absent for the last 2 days, some kind of zombie virus struck me down and messed me right up.

    The 1.1 update is now in the RC (release candidate) phase, and is currently undergoing our rigorous testing regime! It has some pretty kick ass additions in it, as well as a (hopefully) permanent fix to the pesky coin disappearing bug.

    Also, I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but Cedar the music guy updated the bandcamp site with some cool Jetpack Joyride bonus tracks! Be sure to check it out: http://halfbrick.bandcamp.com/album/jetpack-joyride-original-soundtrack

    Hahaha. Good idea. MycroByte, send me a PM and I'll hook you up! Or should we be mean and require him to post a photo of himself, holding his iPhone with it on the My Profile page? :cool:
     
  20. Thanks for the encouraging words guys & girls. I finally nailed that 200 metres after ALOT of play time and also picked up Germaphobe to round out the cheevos. This joins only Fruit Ninja as my only two 100% achievement titles. I've unlocked all golden rides and jet packs and am now focused on grabbing all clothing and just smashing out Jestige (Jetpack Joyride Prestige? :p). Im up to Jestige 3 and love how the emblems and titles seem to be random!

    Oh and wearing the military fatigues makes my Ghostbuster dream come that much more true. If you squint a bit, Barry kinda looks like Venkman ;)

    Thanks for an awesome ride Hafbrick.
