Jetpack Joyride is one of the more delightful jetpack-based games to come out this year -- and for a "limited time," you can grab it for free. The official Facebook page for the iOS App Store is offering the game at no cost for reasons unknown; probably as an altruistic gesture, since human lives are inherently enriched by the presence of propulsion-based backpacks.
There's no telling when the deal expires, so we'd suggest getting it ... like, right this instant. Seriously. Go.

Damn I'm glad I didn't pick that game up like I wanted to the other day.

Sorry but I'm not logging into Facebook to download an app, even if it is free.

Their recent update totally wiped out all the coins and jetpacks and costumes for a lot of people. It wiped out mine.
They're probably setting it to free to help counteract the volume of one-star ratings they've been getting for demolishing weeks of progress.
When you sell in-game currency for real money, then turn around and delete all that in-game currency with no explanation or customer service recourse, you're a bad company.
Try the game out for free (it's good), but under no circumstances give them money for in-game coins ... there's a good chance they'll just wipe them out in a future update.

Or... you could be shady: like them, get the code, and then unlike them right away.

Would have loved to get it for free, but I didn't mind paying the $0.99. If you don't have it already go and get it.

Huzzah! I knew that fake Facebook account I made to get the Ice T multplayer skin for Gears 3 would come in handy!

If it's a fake Facebook account, you might want to watch where you're signing up for Facebook accounts.

Sorry to be "that guy" but have they announced any plans of this coming to Android?

No. But they might since their other games are on Android.

Ya when I saw it was halfbrick I figured theres some hope. A lot of times if I ask developers if their game will come to android in the future the reason is no developers on their team do android.

I just downloaded this about a week ago and I love it. The update added some funny, new costumes, jetpacks, and what not. Good stuff.

Dear Facebook,
Could you please add an option to the "like" button that says "I don't really like this at all but I pressed the button anyway so I could get free stuff?"
Thanks,
