Synopsis

Joe Danger is a 2010 racing game developed and published by British studio Hello Games. In the platform game, the player controls the eponymous daredevil and navigates courses within a set amount of time, aiming to complete enough objectives to continue to further rounds. Joe Danger was released for the PlayStation 3, via the PlayStation Network, in June 2010, after Hello Games originally chose to publish it exclusively with Sony Computer Entertainment. A "Special Edition" for the Xbox 360, via the Xbox Live Arcade, was released in December 2011, followed by an iOS spin off in January 2013 and a version for Android in April 2015. Joe Danger received generally positive reviews; most reviewers praised the accessible gameplay and the ability to edit courses while playing them. Some suggested the game would have benefited from more options, such as sharing and rating user-generated content, and criticised the lack of an online multiplayer mode. Hello Games subsequently released downloadable content to add features that users and reviewers had requested in the months following the game's release. Using leaderboard statistics, Joe Danger was estimated to have sold at least 108,000 units in its first three months on sale. It was nominated for several awards, including the grand prize at the 2010 Independent Games Festival.
