The jet packs serve nothing but change aesthetics

This game is great. Especially for what it does. And that is to be as addictive as is physically possible. It achieves this great feat by combining lots of great missions and content along with pleasing aesthetics and a good soundtrack.

The story of this game is one of the familiar character Barry Steakfries. In this game, Barry is a depressed gramaphone sales man who has quit due to very low sales. When he notices a jetpack in a labs window he knows that he has to have it. This jetpack is the world-famous jetpack from Monster Dash, another Barry Steakfries game. Barry breaks through the wall of the lab and the game begins. 

It is a side scrolling action game where you have doge zappers, lasers and missiles alike. While you're at that you will also be collecting coins, and beating missions to become the ultimate jetpack joyrider. Using these coins, you will buy knew jetpacks, clothes and gadgets to help you complete your goal. 

Vehicles also come into play and you get the chance to play as 5 of them (Lil' Stomper, Badass Hog, Mr Cuddles, Crazy Freaking Teleporter, Gravity Suit and Profit Bird) each with their own signature powers and controls.

Once you have complete a mission you gain 1-3 stars which go towards a bigger plaque of stars. When you have completed a plaque, you go onto the next, bigger one, until you reach the Barry plaque. After this last one is completed you have the option to cash it in, in exchange for a badge. And repeat. 

Well that's all for now, keep on jetpacking.

Goodbye for now, Harry

Update: there is now a new vehicle called the Wave Rider which turns the screen into a pool of water which is one of the better aesthetic and gameplay changes in the game. There are also weekly sales on clothes and jetpacks.

Update: quick revives have been added so that you can cheat death even more! Also, rolling inventory enhancements have made it even easier for you to see what items you are missing!

Update: another new vehicle... But with a twist. S.A.M (strong arm machine) is a huge quarter of a screen covering walking machine with an awesome arm of death. When controlling S.A.M you have control of his arm as a barrage of missiles come at you. Hit them back with the arm or face the consequence of death! Also, S.A.M can only be use once a day after gaining the 3 S.A.M puzzle pieces. After five days, there may be a prize... Also 16 new costumes and the Sleigh of Awesome (only available for a limited time)
