This is a 3DS port of OpenJazz, an open sourced re-implementation of Jazz Jackrabbit 1 made by Alister Thomson, also known as Toxic Bunny.

The project is currently maintained by carstene1ns, and a demo release is made available by MrHuu which features the shareware version of the game.

Installation

Copy the 3DSX file to your SD card and the datafiles in the same directory as the 3DSX file.

If you don't have the datafiles, you can use the demo version (cannot save or upgrade to the full game).

User guide

Gameplay

This is a speedy, colorful action game. To play Jazz, you must understand three rules:

Run like the wind.
Shoot everything that moves.
If you can't shoot it, take it.

Story

The notorious leader of the turtle terrorists, Devan Shell, has kidnapped the beloved rabbit princess, Eva Earlong, and has inhabited the galaxy with his goons. Is all hope lost? No way!

Enter: Jazz Jackrabbit!

The Galactic Rabbits want revenge and it's your job to extract it!

You have to save Eva Earlong and prevent Daven Shell from financing his maniacal plot of Turtle Domination by swiping the goods out from unfer hiis slimy beak.
