About

Jetpack through the prehistoric world in this Stone-Fiction adventure platformer. Enjoy challenging boss fights, flying over pitfalls, smashing through walls, knocking out enemies, and manipulating objects as you halt the alien threat once and for all. Jet Kave Adventure is a completely historically inaccurate yet highly entertaining 2.5D adventure platformer. Thaw out your inner caveman and join the skill-based action! Your name is Kave, and you’re the chief of your tribe – or rather you were until now. Banished by your own people you stumble upon… a jetpack! The device turns you into the only caveman who stands a chance against “the alien invader” – a rather unlikable guy from the sky who’ll readily kick off a disastrous volcanic eruption just so he can repair his spaceship. Begin your quest to save the whole island and prove your worth to the tribe!

In the end, Jet Kave Adventures is fine. It looks nice and does the basics well enough that you won't get frustrated by mistimed jumps or falling off ledges. The gameplay fails to bring about any excitement in the back half, while the many mechanics designed to make this easier make it perfect for kids but not anyone who is considered fluent in the genre. It isn't a terrible game by any means, but you can tackle a few other, better platformers before trying this one.

Jet Kave Adventure is a neat platformer that should keep younger players especially entertained, though I also had a blast playing. It’s not overly complicated but still manages to squeeze in a few interesting mechanics to give us something to be mindful of.

Jet Kave Adventure did not impress me. It’s competently made with fairly solid gameplay, but the level design is bland and repetitive, and there’s a distinct air of cheapness to the cut-scenes and graphics. There are plenty of other options on Switch if you want a solid side-scrolling platformer, and unless the premise of a caveman using a jetpack and fighting dinosaurs and aliens is particularly appealing to you, I’d suggest you take your $20 elsewhere.

While Jet Kave Adventure does manage to be enjoyable for the most part, it never really hooked me; the formula rarely changes and the gameplay never evolves. Each of the game’s four levels is divided into nine stages, and by the time I reached stage nine, I was more than ready to move on to something else. Shorter levels with more variety would’ve alleviated this problem. There’s a good game here, but it’s best experienced in short bursts. If you keep hoping that Retro Studios would make a third Donkey Kong Country Returns game, you are probably the target audience for Jet Kave Adventure.

Jet Kave Adventure is a very fun platformer that is found exclusively on the Switch. The game has its own fun quirks and the story is quite amusing thanks to the setting of the game. While not everything is perfect and some mechanics are overused, the game does manage to set itself apart from other titles in the genre, and with the proper attention, love, and care, this game could spawn an amazing sequel. We enjoyed the game, and while the price isn’t too cheap for a game in the genre, we can still advise you to check out this title if you’re looking for a decent platformer.

Jet Kave Adventure is a fun action/platformer that anyone can enjoy. It’s a little on the short side (for the price) and could use some extra features to keep the player interested, but it looks great and is easy to play.

Good design for a platformer especially the bosses. A simple story and coherent gameplay to enjoy, that remind me some old games that we miss nowadays. The graphics are amazing and make you fully integrated into the game environment, but sadly the game is too short you can finish it on 3 hours
