User guide
Jazz Jackrabbit is a platform game developed by Epic MegaGames. It features six episodes, each consisting of three worlds, with two levels and a boss level.
In the game, Jazz has a life bar that decreases when enemies hit or shoot him. He can replenish his health by collecting carrots scattered throughout the levels. If his health reaches zero, Jazz will turn to ash and the level will restart from the last checkpoint.
To defeat enemies, Jazz must shoot them with the blue gun he always carries. The game features various types of bullets that deal different amounts of damage. Instead of jumping on enemies, Jazz must use his weapon to defeat them.
Controls
