Gold Award winner Jetpack Joyride gets new character and vehicles in update

An update is now available on the App Store for Halfbrick's PG Gold Award-winning iPhone and iPad game Jetpack Joyride.

Version 1.1 brings a host of suitably mad new additions to this one-touch control game, alongside the expected bug fixes and tweaks.

New vehicles, for instance, include Mr Cuddles, a giant robot dragon. And in a nod to another of Halfbrick’s bestsellers Fruit Ninja, players will also be able to pilot the fruit jetpack, taking to the air as they cover the ground with fruit and delicious juice.

There’s also a new character to play as in Jetpack Joyride: Honest Phil. Based on Halfbrick’s real life CMO Phil Larsen, Halfbrick assures us he’s one ‘awesome Australian dude’.

Jetpack Joyride is available as a Universal app for 69p / 99c right now.
