SuperWeird Well-Known Member Dec 9, 2010 509 0 0 #3 SuperWeird, Nov 27, 2011 This game is awesome, very nicely polished. Everyone should give it a try while it's free. If you like Jepack Joyride, Mighty Fin, or Whale Trail make sure to check it out. Mr. Grizzly Well-Known Member May 20, 2011 1,407 0 36 #4 Mr. Grizzly, Nov 27, 2011 It seems like a kid-friendly version of Jetpack joyride. Decent in itself, but definitely a copy. TimEggers Well-Known Member Nov 11, 2011 421 0 0 Shipping Tiskilwa, IL #5 TimEggers, Nov 27, 2011 It really is like they took Mighty Fin and made it into Jetpack Joyride. Frankly I like Jetpack Joyride more but this game is really polished, colorful and fun. For free its an incredibly easy download.

This game is more polished than JJ and has better graphics and presentation. Overall I find it more varied and enjoyable. It may be a copy of JJ but it's a bloody good copy that does a better job than the game it copies. I paid for Jetpack Joyride but would have rather paid for this game than JJ. DelBoy2181 Well-Known Member Mar 14, 2011 857 0 0 London, England #9 DelBoy2181, Nov 27, 2011 At least it's gone free whereas Jetpack Joyride, the game it borrows ideas from, probably never will.

In addition to the promotion being held on a popular social service site, other iOS media outlets also spread the story, so it was pretty much like a freebie. http://toucharcade.com/2011/10/26/9999-alarm-freebie-alert-jetpack-joyride-via-facebook-black-majiks/ DelBoy2181 Well-Known Member Mar 14, 2011 857 0 0 London, England #13 DelBoy2181, Nov 27, 2011 Sorry, I didn't read it properly as I was distracted by the other thread where some troll had posted FIFA 12 as having gone free. SuperWeird Well-Known Member Dec 9, 2010 509 0 0 #14 SuperWeird, Nov 27, 2011 Totally agree. Sea Stars definitely copied Jetpack, but I actually think it's better / more fun. Can't stop playing it. DelBoy2181 Well-Known Member Mar 14, 2011 857 0 0 London, England #15 DelBoy2181, Nov 27, 2011 I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thinks that Sea Stars is better than Jetpack Joyride. It's so good that I'm actually considering deleting Jetpack Joyride from my iPhone as it feels just too repetitive for my liking and lacks the *fun factor* that Sea Stars has. EfratBarTal Well-Known Member Mar 5, 2011 2,351 17 38 Female CEO Tel-Aviv #16 EfratBarTal, Nov 27, 2011 yeah it has a completely different vibe than jetpack joyride. i like the graphics, they're really cute. kinda remind me of DoDo Fly. sawyer4325 Well-Known Member May 20, 2011 577 0 0 #17 sawyer4325, Nov 27, 2011 Got this yesterday, and have to say its very good. IWhat i liked about JJ the most is not in this, the ability to easily get coins. It may be just me, but its harder so if you want better carecters, pay some real money. sawyer4325 Well-Known Member May 20, 2011 577 0 0 #18 sawyer4325, Nov 27, 2011 exactly why I deleted JJ. awp69 Well-Known Member Oct 30, 2009 8,249 0 36 Greenville, SC #19 awp69, Nov 27, 2011 If it's better than Jetpack, I'd be all over it...if it wasn't 3GS and up. Looks fun. Hero Killer Id Well-Known Member Sep 18, 2010 134 0 0 #20 Hero Killer Id, Nov 27, 2011 I also enjoy it more than JJ I picked it up a few days ago and then purchased the coin doubler all in all it was well worth the $3 I've spent total. The unlockables and features are just all around more fun then JJ. A note to the Devs for some reason the Exceed 5000M in one game achievement is not unlocking I've done it several times it just doesn't want to give me the achievement.
