Despite being with the rest of official music, this Jetpack Joyride remix is unofficial. The reason it ended up here seems to be that when the remix was published on Spotify, its creator decided to credit Halfbrick by adding them as another author. YouTube, of course, thinks HB MADE it as a result.

[Trivia]
For Jetpack Joyride's Ghostbusters crossover, Peter, Ray, Egon, and Winston were all planned to be playable, sprites of their heads being complete inside the files. They were most likely replaced by Dr. Barry Buster, and with contract expired two years ago, they are not likely to be used.

Monster Dash for Halfbrick+ has an offline leaderboard with nearly every name being a reference to Halfbrick's character or a developer.

[Trivia] (1/2)
A movie adaptation of Fruit Ninja was announced back in 2016. It was set to be a live-action family comedy, with New Line Cinema and Vinson Films handling the production.

It's been almost a decade since then, so it's safe to say it was cancelled long ago.

[Spoilers for DTM]
Stage 6 ending for Dan The Man is different between the uploads: In StudioJoho's OG upload, Ana reveals how to complete the game (getting married to Josie). In Halfbrick's reupload, it's changed to "Are you a girl irl?" joke. The marriage plot seems to have been retconned since.

[Trivia]
"Welcome To Fruit Ninja", the main theme from Fruit Ninja, was initially named "Welcome to Fruitasia" when it was uploaded with the other FN music on June 17, 2021. It was reuploaded under its current name on November 16, though Spotify and Apple Music call it "Welcome, Fruit Ninja".

A new release happened on Android recently: Monster Dash Lite/Free. For all means and purposes, this is a 2020 remaster, because the original app reverted back to the 2010 version for Halfbrick+ two years ago. Not available on iOS yet.

Dunno why this took two years to happen, but I'm glad.

A crossover event with the Masters of the Universe series is coming to Jetpack Joyride soon. The event was announced through the in-game newsletter and teases He-Man, Skeletor, and more MOTU characters.

[Trivia]
The 2012 trailer for Jetpack Joyride's PlayStation Minis port is heavily based on the original trailer. In fact, the audio heard during the gameplay portion is unchanged. The trailer does try to hide this by recreating the footage from the original through the PlayStation port.

[Trivia] (1/2)
Raskulls gives special thanks to Ben Croshaw aka "Yahtzee" of Zero Punctuation (now Fully Ramblomatic) fame in it's credits, as he was a part of the focus testing for the game.

Ben didn't review the game himself, but the Escapist website had one by John Funk, who spoke positively.

A closer look at the Barry Steakfries plush. Image is from Halfbrick+ app's "Today" newsletter.

Also, Youtooz themselves only just acknowledged this plush on their website. It drops on July 7.

Halfbrick Studios teases a Youtooz plush (not a figure, plush!) of Barry Steakfries.
Even though Youtooz themselves haven't made any posts about it yet, this is a serious announcement. This is the first physical merch since... 2019 board game?
The only mission Barry couldn't dodge: becoming cute.

Thanks to a Wikipedia article on Halfbrick Studios, there was (and still is) some misinformation on what licensed games they made. Hellboy: The Science of Evil and The Legend of Spyro both used to be listed, but they aren't HB's games - fellow Aussie developer Krome was responsible for them.

[Trivia]
Dan The Man contains files for the unused Chicken costume. It was added into the game proper in late 2024 as part of the Chicken God event, named "Devoted Follower". It is, however, not the same costume, and the old one still exists in the files, which can be seen if you have both unlocked.
