If you're looking forward to upcoming Switch exclusive Jet Kave Adventure as much as we are, you'll definitely want to check out this gameplay trailer, kindly shared with us by the talented folks who are hard at work making the magic happen.
The video takes us through three of the game's levels, giving us a let's play-style, unedited view of how the game runs on Switch. We've mentioned it before, but those who have played the recent Donkey Kong games like Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze will no doubt feel right at home here; the lovely 2.5D style and even several of the game mechanics themselves feel right up DK's alley.
If you're desperate for more on the game, make sure to check out our recent interview with the game's developer, 7Levels. We spoke about the DK inspiration, what the game will add to the Switch's library, and plenty more besides. We also recently shared the game's initial reveal trailer early last month.
GAME FEATURES:
- Save the island and Kave’s honor in a playful Stone-Fiction adventure
- Jetpack through 36 colorful levels ridden with hazards and rich with secrets
- Use your trusty club and alien jetpack to smack and whack 30 types of enemies
- Show what you are made of in breakneck flight sequences and boss fights
- Master the jet-fueled platforming to find the collectibles and upgrade your gear
- Put your skills to the ultimate test in Time, Collectible, and No Damage Challenges

Are you liking the look of the game? Remember, Jet Kave Adventure is set to launch on Switch later this year.

Yep, it apes Donkey Kong.
Looks awesome! Pretty graphics, dynamic platforming and I see a kind of rhythm or flow to the action. Secrets, too, love them in such games
i have never played a DK game before but I might get this.
I never even heard of this, but now I want it!
I'm loving the look of this game. Can't wait to get my hands on it.
Come on lads, Switches aloft and a hammer to our PS4s.
I mean, I want to enjoy this, but something about that style is just so ugly to me. Like Bubsy ugly.
I felt a bit motion sick whilst watching the game, anyone else notice issues with the frame rate? Looks like he stole Diddy's jet pack too
If it wasn't making me feel funny I'm definitely into this one.
@Paraka I feel the same way. It just seems soulless. I like to be able to root for the character that I'm playing, almost like a bond. The character in this game just doesn't do it for me; he has no personality. He's just going through the motions as a platformer wannabe.
Still looks terrible.
That just play DK. Sorry, game makers. I’m sure you guys put a lot of work into this. It doesn’t look bad, but I’m not really interested.
@Tipehtfomottob This gameplay doesn't show the intro or any cut-scenes (some were in the Game Informer's gameplay), maybe that's why you cannot connect to Kave yet.
@wazlon It wasn't that there are issues with the frame rate, time seems to slow down when you're aiming your jet pack. That part doesn't appeal to me because I feel like it breaks the flow of the game.
I think it visually it’s great. It looks like a lot of care went into it and the art style, even if it is so heavily inspired by DK. I’d say the jet pack mechanic it separates itself enough for me.
The platforming also looks fun and quite varied (that longish section with the spikes felt tense)
My only concern is that the camera jerks around a lot, especially when stuff explodes/on impact. Sometimes just moving around seemed to cause excessive camera movement too. I hope that’s ironed out or there’s an option to slow the camera down.
This looks great, watching this one.
@Tipehtfomottob - For real, though. Like, I want to like it. The mechanics and everything seem up my ally for a 2D platformer type. But... those characters, just... As I said when announced, reminds me of Raging Justice. Just ugly.
Looks fun. I'll keep my eye out for it.
Wish they ripped off SNES donkey Kong country style.
B.C.'s Quest for Tires
It looks ok, but nothing great. Might be worth picking up when it's on sale for 50% or more.
Looks pretty promising.
