Oogabooga and forward – Jet Kave Adventure review

Although the heyday of platformers is long over, they are still emerging without letting their genre die. Jet Kave Adventure is another example of their longevity and steadfast desire to be unforgettable.

Platformers were once the undisputed most popular genre of computer games, regardless of the platform. The plumber Mario, who is currently creating a powerful brand, arouses sentiment among many, the green rabbit Jazz Jackrabbit, or derived from the visually charming game Ori are characters that are definitely hard to pass by indifferently. An inconspicuous caveman who had the opportunity to experience an unusual adventure would like to join this noble group.

Between us cavemen

In the production of the independent Polish studio 7LEVELS, we play the role of the title Kave, the chief of a certain village, who is exiled from it for being a hopeless hunter. Lonely and, one might say after the introduction shown, not very capable of getting food, he did not have a very pleasant perspective. By chance, however, he witnessed the crash of a spacecraft. Although his curiosity initially led him to a not very pleasant meeting with the alien, the subsequent combination of his fate with a useful jetpack presents him with the extremely important task of saving the island from the impending catastrophe. As you can see, the plot is not revealing or addictive, but it is a sufficient driving force to keep pushing forward, through platforms that require dexterity and simple environmental puzzles. It is true that the amount of food obtained along the way, necessary to regenerate health, is really large and is somewhat inconsistent with the introduction, but taking into account that we eat almost everything ourselves, the problem does not lie with hunting skills. Also noteworthy is the educational information that appears when the game is launched, saying that the events presented are fictional, because people and dinosaurs did not live at the same time. It is worth remembering when throwing stones at prehistoric reptiles. that the events depicted are fictional as humans and dinosaurs did not live at the same time.

Initially, the game seems quite simple and not too complicated, with time it begins to require the player to use skills very quickly and skillfully. While the visuals would suggest something else, the later levels can be quite problematic for much younger players, and the number of “you will pass this stage” requests is likely to increase in direct proportion to your progress. The constant pushing forward through more and more complicated locations is not the only activity that we will be doing. From time to time, stages that change a bit, are repeated, such as those requiring almost flawless precision, with no save points, fights with bosses, which you have to approach several times to learn their scheme, jetpack flights to the rhythm of the rock sound, or maneuvering a hang glider between obstacles .Flappy Bird with sporadically misaligned hitboxes. Between the levels, we can go to the store, where we can improve our equipment and abilities for the right amount of shells. And where to collect this unusual currency? And this lies hidden somewhere, and it will fall out of some fruit or opponent, but the best source is, of course, the fossil deposits. Come on? Of course, shells come mainly from rocks, and where supposed to come from?

RRRrrrr !!!

As I mentioned, visually Jet Kave Adventureappears as a game targeted at audiences from a wide age category. The polite, pixar-like graphics may not be such a miracle, but it is a picture that is quite pleasing to the eye, presenting not only the variety of designs of subsequent levels, but also readability, which is crucial for platformers. Regardless of whether we are crossing dry steppes, lush jungle or burnt-out lava surroundings of a volcano, the whole is visually coherent, showing a colorful, primitive world. The exception here is the two-headed theropod, whose special ability is to leave excrements that can harm us (!). Not only does the beast, unlike all other opponents, look quite disturbing with its not very present gaze, it also requires two blows to defeat, and after the first one it loses one of its heads. Apparently he had to get out of another project. It’s hard to write anything more about the audio setting, such as the fact that it is consistent with the presented world and falls out quite correctly. The music plays in the background, changing depending on the circumstances, opponents have their own distinctive voices, and Kave does “yum yum” while replenishing his health. The stages with a long jetpack flight deserve a distinction, and in the most positive sense of the word. Fast, rocky sounds not only catch the ear and give a pleasant atmosphere, but also the events happening on the screen perfectly match what we hear, for example by locating the moment of breaking through the rock into characteristic musical moments. A really big round of applause for the originators and performers!

The production of the 7LEVELS studio is quite a solid representative of its genre, with minor inaccuracies and weaker moments (the hang-glider will still be dreaming about at night for a long time), which, however, not only does not significantly affect the perception of the whole, but is more than made up for by rock moments with a jetpack. One could still complain that the storyline is quite short, but after completing it, we get a few challenges for each of the stages, so here’s what to do. So if you like platformers, give Kave a chance.
