Jetpack Joyride

Jetpack Joyride is hold one button and fly. It runs in the browser: no download, no account, no install.

Hold to rise, release to fall, dodge the missiles. A round lasts a couple of minutes at most, and losing costs nothing, so the natural reaction to a failed run is to start another one immediately.

The reason it holds attention is that the gadget slot is what turns a run into a score. That is what an action game should be doing.

This cool games spot page is the catalog entry. The title, cover, and search text live here so the game can be found; pressing Play loads the licensed GameMonetize build in an iframe, which keeps the game files out of the site bundle.

Open the player, press Play, and see how far you get.
