Before Cliff Bleszinski even started thinking about creating the extremely popular Gears of War series, he produced, among others, 2D platformers. Jazz Jackrabbit is a brand established by the developer, which older computer scientists still remember nicely. This classic genre will also appeal to younger PC fans, especially as the main game has been released free of charge, known as Holiday Hare.
We are dealing with a stand-alone product, which nevertheless refers to the original. As before, the poor princess of the planet Carrotus had to be freed from the hands of the winged turtle, now the cosmic Holidaius has to be freed. The impression is made again by very carefully prepared animations of both the title hero and the opponents.
We have Christmas music. As in platformers, Jazz knows how to jump first of all. From the momentum he is able to stay in great chasms.
However, he is also a brave space mercenary, so he is equipped with weapons and various ammunition, including fireballs and a grenade launcher. The main aim of the game is to reach the end of a given stage with as many candies and other sweets scattered all over the place as possible. To have fun you will need to download and run the DOSBox program.
We also recommend that you read the video tutorial on how to configure it correctly.
