Jetpack Joyride, the incredibly popular iOS game from Halfbrick studios has now made it's way onto Android Devices (through the Amazon Appstore). In Jetpack Joyride, you suit up and then begin a side scrolling one touch quest to collect coins. The one touch control scheme works brilliantly, with a finger on the screen controlling the burst of fuel form your jetpack (and hence altering your height).
As you scroll down the level, trying to break your new personal best for distance, you will encounter electricity beams, coins (for collecting). evil scientists and a variety of other obstacles. As with all Halfbrick games, the graphics and sound are great, and the gameplay is addictive. This is one of my new favourite games, so check it out!

In the words of the developer:
Suit up with a selection of the coolest
jetpacks ever made and take to the skies on a one-way trip to adventure! Pick
up and start flying in seconds, but spend hours enthralled by Jetpack Joyride's
addictive gameplay.
