Original adventure game set in retro-cyberpunk style and filled with lots of comedy jokes straight from the best slapstick film comedies. We play the role of Polyblanka's Agent, who in the alternative, cold war reality will undertake a number of absurd missions using various, hilarious gadgets.

Jazzpunk is a comedy adventure game set in an alternate-reality Cold War World, plagued with Corporate Espionage, CyberCrime and Sentient Martinis. Gameplay is inspired by spoof comedy films and cartoons of yester-year (EG: Naked Gun, Airplane!, Hot Shots Part Deux, etc.) with a focus on weird gadgets, exotic locales and open-world style exploration, rather than brain-straining physics puzzles or a kills-per-minute gorefests.

God is a Geek: 8 / 10 by Colm Ahern

In all likelihood, you won't see everything that Jazzpunk has to offer the first time around. There are zingers tucked away in every nook-and-cranny that will only reveal themselves to you if you want them to. In so many cases, you are the key to the punchline. Without you, the clever quips stay hidden and will remain unearthed until you say so. Jazzpunk invites you to get involved in the comedy and, in many ways, become the butt of the joke. Funnily enough, there actually is a butt joke in there.

GamesRadar+: 4 / 5 by Lucas Sullivan

Jazzpunk is uniquely ridiculous and undeniably hilarious. It's not afraid of making you work to find all the funny, which turns even the tiniest throwaway joke into something special.

JazzPunk is good for a few chuckles and the novelty of how absurd the game is
