Best Mobile Game 2011

By Daniel Bischoff

Jetpack Joyride

Platform: iOS

Publisher: Halfbrick Studios

Developer: Halfbrick Studios

When it comes down to it, the best mobile games are the ones that waste the most time. Jetpack Joyride has no peer in this regard. Whether you're hopping on for a quick spin on your bubble machine jetpack or going for the medal that requires you to high-five 15 scientists, Jetpack Joyride is a joyfully arcade-y mobile game with tons of content and even more replayability… and it's only $0.99.

Halfbrick's "daring escape" game deftly expands on the success Fruit Ninja has seen while retaining some of their unique humor. When a developer is showing you their game and gets caught up playing it themselves, it's hard not to smile. We don't review too many mobile games at GameRevolution, but Jetpack Joyride deserves special attention.

Runners Up:

  • Tiny Wings
  • Dead Space HD
  • Superbrothers: Sword and Sorcery EP
  • Gem Keeper

I attended San Jose State University and graduated in 2010 with a Bachelor's in English and a Minor in Journalism. I've been playing games my whole life and will continue to do so as long as they stay entertaining! Some of my favorite games include Team Fortress 2, Battlefield 3, Star Fox 64, Batman: Arkham City, Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, Counter-Strike: Source, Super Mario Bros. 3, Kirby's Dream Land, and the list goes on.
