"Jetpack Joe!" by DEV

This article is about my newest addiction: JETPACK JOE!

It's actually a Facebook game called "Jetpack Joyride". But when I first saw Jen playing it, I accidentally said "hey, you're playing Jetpack Joe." And the title stuck in my head that way. I have several titles for it, including...

Machine Gun Joe!

or

Average Joe!

But it's mostly called Jetpack Joe. The main character's name is Barry, but I still call him Joe. Nobody can do anything about it anyway, right?

The reason I'm addicted to it is because it's awesomazing. The point of the game is to get as far as you can with Barry's machine gun jetpack. Shooting at the ground, Barry "flies" over both obstacles and nerds. You'll have to dodge electrical zappers and missiles. And as Barry steals the jetpack, he'll be facing a lot of things like lasers, heavy-powered vehicles and more nerds.

As you and Barry collect coins, you'll be able to buy several cool gadgets, armors and other stuff.

NERD ALERT: There's this gadget that gets rid of scientists a.k.a. "the nerds". But I suggest you skip using it, 'cause it's a lot more fun blasting them with your machine gun as they run around helplessly (needless to say that they are surprisingly cute)

And to spare me from a lot more explaining, here's the official trailer of this awesomazing game, JETPACK JOE. *ehem* JETPACK JOYRIDE.

This IS a great joyride.
