Halfbrick's iOS endless-flyer Jetpack Joyride soars onto Facebook

If you've already picked up Jetpack Joyride from the App Store, you've no doubt spent countless hours on your smartphone and tablet collecting coins, weaving in and out of obstacles, and peeking at the game's leaderboards.

The Gold Award-winning endless-flyer, which has now racked up 25 million downloads, has just soared onto The Social Network, meaning you can now have a few cheeky goes on your office computer, too.

"With Jetpack Joyride's success on the iOS platform, it only made sense for us to bring Barry and his mischievousness to the entire Facebook community," Phil Larsen, Halfbrick's chief marketing officer, said.

"The active and casual nature of Facebook gaming allows us to do even more with the beloved franchise and focus on the game's addictive competitive elements and endless replayability."

This free-to-play Facebook version of the game allows you to compete with your fellow social networkers for fame (maybe), fortune (probably not), and high scores (definitely). You can also customise Barry and post in-game screenshots directly to your Facebook profile.

Head on over to Facebook to play Jetpack Joyride.
