Jetpack Joyride Racing Launches with Multiplayer for Six Players

Overview

I played the new Jetpack Joyride Racing on my phone today. You need to download it because six people can race together in real time. Halfbrick really made a winner here that feels very fresh and fast. It changes the old solo game into a wild group battle.

Gameplay Features

Choose a character like Barry Steakfries or Professor Brains before you hit the track. You have to watch out for purple zones because they slow your speed down. Green areas are the best since they give you a huge boost to get ahead. Red zones will stop your engine which is really bad for your lead. Grab the boxes on the ground to get items that help you win. Drifting takes a bit of time to learn but it makes your turns much smoother. Every track layout is different and forces you to plan your path.

Multiplayer & Party Mode

Invite five friends to see who is truly the best racer in the room. Use the Party Mode when you want to play together as a team instead of fighting.

Card System & Season Pass

I think the new card system is cool because it acts like digital toys for new ships. These cards will even work in other games like Fruit Ninja soon. Level up your Season Pass to get extra rewards and better clothes for your guy.

Free to Play & Subscription

The game costs nothing to download which makes it a great choice for everyone. No ads will pop up to ruin your fun while you are flying. Spend $2.99 every month for the Halfbrick plus membership if you want the most items. You can still win many races without paying any money at all.
