What Is the Difference Between Joe Danger Touch and Joe Danger Infinity?

Updated

Joe Danger Touch is the mobile adaptation of the console stunt-racing game, while Joe Danger Infinity is its sequel and the larger of the two, set in a micro world with dozens of vehicles to ride, drive, and fly. Both are now playable free in a desktop browser on joedangerthegame.com, and both have been remastered for 2022. Choose Touch if you want the original mobile translation of the console experience; choose Infinity if you want the bigger sequel with more vehicle variety.

What Each Game Actually Is

Joe Danger Touch: the console experience on mobile

The site describes Touch as one of the first smash hits of the Apple App Store, taking "the console experience" and moving "the world's favourite stuntman onto mobile and tablet." It captured early iPhone and iPad players worldwide. In practice, that means the original Joe Danger formula — side-scrolling, daredevil stunt riding — rebuilt around touch controls rather than a gamepad.

If your goal is to understand where the mobile series started, or you want the closest thing to the original console game in this pair, Touch is the one to pick.

Joe Danger Infinity: the bigger sequel

Infinity is the follow-up to Touch and the largest entry in the series according to the site. Its distinguishing feature is the setting: Joe stars in "a huge brand-new adventure in a micro world," with dozens of vehicles to ride, drive, and fly. The site's summary is simply "the fun is endless."

If you have already played Touch, or you want the most content and the most vehicle variety, Infinity is the natural next step.

How to Try Both Without Deciding First

You do not have to choose before playing. The site states that, to celebrate the 2022 remaster, both Joe Danger Touch and Joe Danger Infinity have been adapted so the entirety of each game can be played through your internet browser for free, with no download necessary.

One practical condition from the page: browser play requires a desktop computer. The site explicitly asks visitors to "visit this site on a desktop computer to play the game in your browser," so a phone or tablet browser will not load the playable version.

To try them:

  1. Open joedangerthegame.com on a desktop computer.
  2. Wait for the page to finish loading the browser game.
  3. Play through either title in the browser at no cost and with nothing to install.
  4. If you prefer a native mobile app instead, the site points to Joe Danger Touch on the App Store.

Which One Should You Pick?

  • Pick Joe Danger Touch if you want the original mobile adaptation of the console game, or you are curious about the title that started the mobile series.
  • Pick Joe Danger Infinity if you want the sequel, the biggest game in the series, and a micro-world setting with dozens of vehicles.
  • Pick neither yet if you are unsure — play both in the desktop browser first, since both are available there in full and free.

Either way, the browser versions are the lowest-commitment way to compare them, as long as you are on a desktop machine.
