"Jet Kave Adventure is full of rewarding scenarios but it could have definitely used more time in the oven before it released."

"While moment to moment gameplay can be fun, the overall process is just too repetitive for a genre that already has so many unique and innovative games in it."

"WORTH CONSIDERING - Jet Kave Adventure checks all the boxes for what a sidescrolling action platformer should be, but it doesn’t go above and beyond to create a lasting impression. What’s here is solid and there are some fun levels …"

"The level art is gorgeous and does a great job to enliven the sci-fi-imbued prehistoric world that the developer has created, but the platforming itself is far too uniform and simplistic to retain the player&s;s interest."
