Universal Jetpack Joyride (by Halfbrick)

I really wish one of the Halfbrick guys would stop by and tell us the status of the update.

 

I'm sure they will be around

 

From HB's Twitter:

Others have been asking them when the update is coming out and all they've really responded is "soon" or "just around the corner". For all I know, that could be tomorrow or 04-30.

On another note, is there any advantage to not cashing in immediately for the medal after every 15 levels? I've never tested the "later" option, but it just seemed weird to me that it even exists if there's no benefit.

 

Hi guys!

Sorry I've been mostly absent lately, its been pretty crazy since around GDC here. We will be filling you all in on the date very soon! Sorry to be all cryptic, but we are making damn sure that when we will you guys the date that we will hit that exact date.

On top of that, we have more updates and more cool stuff on the way. It should be a pretty busy month or two for Jetpack fans!

Cheers,
Luke

 

Sweet stuff, thanks for the info. I can't wait 'till this drops.

 

Super!!!

I luv this game a lot

 

04-26 for the update:

Updated photos and descriptions of all the new gadgets in a full post on Halfbrick's blog, plus as was mentioned above, the update hits on April 26th - http://www.halfbrick.com/2012/04/in-depth-jetpack-joyride-gadgets/

 

I'm guessing the sectors = one per a thousand.
Since, my high score is in the 5ks, hope they will already be unlockable for me.

 

Super pumped for this update! =]

 

I think sectors may be smaller than 1k, since my best is in the 5ks also, and yet I think I’ve seen sector numbers above 5. (You can see the color-coded sector #s and stripes on the walls.) Although they could have changed the sector spacing, of course.

I assume the new coin magnet gadgets does not replace the old separate magnets for each vehicle—but rather is a magnet for when you’re NOT in a vehicle.

It sounds like the new gadgets will tend to make the game easier? (Especially certain missions, if there’s a gadget that gets rid of scientists, or if the Ezy Dodge missiles avoid you just enough to be easy to near-miss.) But I’m OK with that as long as new challenge comes at the same time—and just by reaching new distances now, maybe that challenge will be there! I have pretty much hit a distance wall, and this could be a way to break through that.

 

Hitting the big green release button ... NOW!

(Will take an hour or two to propagate to everyone)

 

thank you!!! <3

 

The updates showing-but the update button is blanked out... ?

 

First 1 or two hours always has weird stuff going on, guessing it just takes a while for Apples servers to catch up with everything. Should be all good soon, only just hit the button just over half an hour ago

 

YESSS! I love you guys =]

 

Im downloading it now (Spain)

 

Okies good stuff will check when i wake up

 

update is live woot
