Mobile game Jetpack Joyride launches Star Trek-themed special event

Jetpack Joyride’s Star Trek-themed event

JANUARY 18, 2021 - Long-running mobile game Jetpack Joyride has gone Star Trek. For a limited time, the endless runner from the publisher of Fruit Ninja is running on a Star Trek theme, with game elements and rewards replaced by officially-licensed themed items.

According to the Jetpack Joyride Wiki, “the run starts with the first sector unchanged, with other sectors using Backgrounds based on locations from [the] Star Trek franchise. Uniquely, these backgrounds also change the designs of the Scientists. The Missiles are replaced by red laser beams of light. Like most other events, this one is token-based, as the player is tasked to collect yellow Starfleet insignias to unlock 10 Star Trek-themed rewards.” Those rewards include characters and uniforms from Discovery, Voyager, TNG and TOS, as well as a special mech and jetpack.

But you don’t have to grind for the prizes to enjoy playing the game; just zooming around as the game’s protagonist, Barry Steakfries, in a Star Trek-themed universe, is fun on its own. If you’re looking for a mindless bit of Star Trek fun, then the Jetpack Joyride Star Trek event is definitely for you. But hurry, it’s only on for a limited time. According to the Wiki, it runs now through February 3rd.

Jetpack Joyride is free to play (with in-app purchases). Find out more on the publisher’s website at halfbrick.com, or find it in the App Store for iOS or the Google Play Store for Android.
