Completion Tips for Jetpack Joyride



Jetpack Joyride is one of many fun free games put out by developers Halfbrick, the geniuses behind Fruit Ninja. Here’s some tips for completing Jetpack Joyride.

As with many fun free games, Jetpack Joyride gives players the option to use real money to buy in-game items, such as clothes for their character, or new jetpacks. If you don’t want to use real money, collect the large gold spin tokens throughout the levels. These can be used during the slot machine portion of the game to either play the slot machine for more coins, or to be cashed out for 50 coins each.



Another great tip is to complete the missions given to you at the start of each level. Every time you complete a mission, your character gains experience to level up. Once leveled up, you are given more missions, which means more changes for you to collect coins and spin tokens.

Does Guacamelee Deserve the Rating It Got?


Sometimes, big name game reviewers give games ratings they don’t deserve. Did they do this for Guacamelee?

After playing Guacamelee for hours, I believe Guacamelee is one of the great games of our times. It is one of the few co-op games I have played where the co-op can be played as part of the storyline, instead of after the game. I have been trying to find excellent co-op games to play with others, and have been unsuccessful until I found this game.



Guacamelee is also one of the most addictive games I have found; I can play the game for hours on end trying to perfect my moves, while still enjoying myself. The game received a 9.1/10 rating. I believe it deserves a perfect 10; it is an addictive game with an excellent co-op element. I am hoping that the developers behind Guacamelee create most great games, and especially more co-op games like Guacamelee.

Which games do you believe should have gotten a higher rating by big name reviewers?

True Story of a Fun Addictive Game called Guacamelee!

 Here is the story I am about to tell you amazing followers:

 I was playing with one of my colleagues from Sheridan College her name was Eden. She had brought her playstation to college as we were assessing which is the best indie game to play. This game was a really addictive game so it came on top of our lists as the best co-op game to play.

Even though the game costs $15 and you could probably find a better game to buy worth $15 but for me it was totally worth it. I was scared at first but after playing with my friend Eden for 2 hours at the Sheridan Oakville campus she got me hooked to the game and I even downloaded it to my Playstation 3.

The reason I liked it is that you can play 2 players either from the Playstation Vita or just using another controller. I think playing 2 players made it more addictive because its fun as you can make fun of each other and have great memories because it makes you feel you are part of the game.

This is a short story however this is now part of my memories, don’t forget to search and download this additive co-op game from the Playstation Store.

Which Game is More Enjoyable, Astro Tripper or Galaga?



 Normally, I’m not very into space games or gun games; I’m much more of a turn-based RPG player. I did find Astro Tripper to be a very enjoyable game. However, is it more enjoyable than my favorite gun game, Galaga?

The two games share many similarities; they are both action games taking place in space, where you use your ship to take down enemies. The controls in Galaga are a lot nicer than in Astro Tripper; pushing the buttons on the arcade machine make you feel like you’re really firing missiles at other ships.



Astro Tripper does have much nicer music than Galaga. In Galaga, the only music you hear is before the level starts; there is no music playing during the level. In Astro Tripper, the levels play music the whole time you are playing; you can even select your own music to play during the levels if you go to the options menu.

Of the two games, I much prefer Galaga. Astro Tripper doesn’t show itself as much of a space game as Galaga, and Galaga has easier-to-use and more natural controls

Which of the games is more enjoyable in your opinion?

Is Jetpack Joyride A Beatable Game?

Well I don’t know because I have never reached more than 1,500 meters in Jetpack Joyride I die after or before I reach this number!

 I have searched all round the internet to see if anybody has completed Jetpack Joyride but I could not find anything only hints and tips. However I believe that Jetpack Joyride is not a beatable game. The player just has to play it and reach the furthest distance to get more tokens to buy unlockables at the store such as clothes or a new Jetpack design.

However it takes time to be able to buy those items, as the player needs to collect a lot of tokens while playing Jetpack Joyride. I think the first item you can buy is worth 20,000 tokens. I think the game is complete once you have bought all the outfits and jetpacks. I have seen people get much further than me but it doesn’t seem to end. I think it’s a good idea because then people will start to try and keep reaching further knowing that it is never ending which means they will keep playing the game.

I am still playing Jetpack Joyride till today and still cant beat my high score I have achieved.
