Halfbrick Studios, a pioneer in early mobile gaming, continues to capture hearts with their latest venture, Jetpack Joyride Racing, set to launch on mobile devices this June. Who can forget the thrill of playing Jetpack Joyride on those demo iPads at the Apple store? Now, the beloved endless runner is branching out into the kart racing genre!
Scheduled for release on June 20th, Jetpack Joyride Racing invites players to hop into themed karts and race for dominance with iconic Halfbrick characters, including the beloved protagonist Barry Steakfries. Whether you're a fan of the original or new to the franchise, this kart racing spinoff promises to deliver the same excitement and fun that Halfbrick is known for.
Excitingly, Halfbrick Studios has opened signups for a closed beta, allowing eager fans to get a head start. Pre-registration is also available for the broader player base. To join the closed beta, head over to the official Halfbrick Studios Discord and sign up!
Spinning off from the classic Jetpack Joyride, this new title aims to blend casual, pick-up-and-play appeal with deeper mechanical complexity, catering to both casual and hardcore kart racers. While some might find it surprising to see these iconic characters in karts rather than jetpacks, the game promises innovative gameplay. Imagine drifting corners in jetpacks, perhaps with an invisible barrier to keep you on track - an intriguing concept that could have been explored!
Despite this minor quibble, Jetpack Joyride Racing is poised to be a thrilling and engaging spinoff, adding to the legacy of a series that has been a staple in mobile gaming. Keep an eye on Halfbrick Plus for more exciting updates on what's coming to their subscription gaming service.
