Halfbrick Studios, a pioneer in early mobile gaming, is bringing the thrill of Jetpack Joyride to the racetrack with their latest spinoff, Jetpack Joyride Racing. Set to launch on mobile devices on June 20th, this kart racing game will feature beloved characters like Barry Steakfries, who will now compete for supremacy in themed karts.
For those eager to get a head start, Halfbrick Studios has opened signups for a closed beta. Fans can pre-register and join the race early by visiting the official Halfbrick Studios Discord. This is your chance to experience Jetpack Joyride Racing before its official release.
While the game retains the casual, pick-up-and-play appeal of its predecessor, it also introduces deeper mechanical complexities that will appeal to hardcore kart racing enthusiasts. One might wonder why these iconic characters are transitioning from jetpacks to karts. Could we not have seen them drifting corners with jetpacks, perhaps confined to the track by some innovative barrier system?
Despite this minor quibble, Jetpack Joyride Racing is poised to be a delightful addition to the series that has long been a staple of mobile gaming. Keep an eye on Halfbrick Plus for more exciting developments from the studio's subscription gaming service.
