Halfbrick Studios Expands the Jetpack Joyride Universe
Halfbrick Studios has long been a defining name in mobile gaming, thanks to classics like *Jetpack Joyride*. For many younger players, it was the go-to demo game at Apple stores—where endless jetpack runs doubled as sneaky ways to rack up screen time. Over the years, the franchise has spawned numerous spinoffs, but *Jetpack Joyride Racing* might be the most ambitious yet.
Set for release on June 20th, this kart racing title marks a shift from the series' traditional endless runner format. While some may wonder why the characters are trading jetpacks for karts, the change promises exciting new gameplay dynamics. Still, one can’t help but imagine how drifting around corners in a jetpack-powered vehicle could have kept the theme more consistent. Perhaps future updates or sequels will explore that idea!
