Jetpack Joyride (Animating within video games research)

Jetpack Joyride is a side scrolling video game made for smart phones. It was developed by Halfbrick Studios. The game was originally released for iOS devices but was then released to all the other mobile phone and tablet devices. It is a very simple game, that you just run through the level, the level then gets harder and harder to beat. Once you die you go back to the beginning and start again. The aim is to beat everybody else score. You defeat there score by getting further than them. The further you go the more points you get.

I personally have played this game and is very enjoyable. Once I was told of the idea of the game that I was going to help build, I instantly thought of this one. However in Jetpack Joyride there are no bosses to defeat and it isn't a 2D platform game, that has different levels. The reason why I thought of Jetpack Joyride is simply because of the environment, The background is laboratory themed and has various obstacles such as laser and drones a lot like ours. Not to mention Jetpack Joyride is also 2D sprite based that has similar movements that we are going for.
