This is a power-up I found in which you can teleport. It works pretty well, but can be very hard to control once the speed picks up.

Another power-up where you flap around in a bird machine.

I'm using a perk that makes a little dog go in front of me to collect items. He gets his own golden bird when I get one.

One of the vehicles is to ride a giant mechanical dragon. Not bad!

You can buy items that will knock you farther when you get hit. Here a nuke is about to hit Barry and send him a few hundred more meters.

Every 15 levels your character earns gets you a badge with a very generic name.

Jetpack Joyride

This PS Vita game is also on PS3 and various mobile app stores.  It's an endless runner where you can earn various upgrades by completing tasks.  It's pretty silly - for example, your character is named Barry Steakfries and your jetpack is actually a machine gun where you stay afloat by shooting bullets.  For a free game I thought it was actually pretty fun!

One advantage of playing this on the Vita is that you can use the rear touch pad to play so your finger doesn't obstruct your view of the screen .
