Join Barry who is an average Joe, in his one of a lifetime adventure, when he comes across an experimental Jetpacks presented in an exhibition window. Break into the lab, suit up, grab the Jetpacks and go on for the ride of your life!

The game starts with a big explosion with Barry steals the experimental Jetpack and starts running away from the scientists. From that point it will be impossible to stop his momentum, as he will keep running forward. You objective is to direct him over and under various obstacles, such as electric zappers, homing missiles and laser traps. You ascend by tapping the screen which makes the Jetpack burn and thrust you up towards the top of the screen. When you let go you start descending until you touch the ground, and then start running with your Jetpacks on your back.

Throughout your journey, you will try to obtain as many coins as you possibly can to increase your overall score, and also to purchase a variety of upgrade from “the stash”, which is the in-game store.
