Unlike the previous installments, Jazz Jackrabbit 3 has no levels. In the alpha, only Fire and Ice Dream Cells can be acquired, and usable with two guns (the standard Blaster and the Gizmo Gun). Jazz's arsenal can be expanded using coins collected to purchase new weapons and combine them with Elemental 'Dream Cells' to create various weapon effects. Jazz can fire his weapon, or charge up a more powerful shot. The mouse is used to aim and shoot, while the keyboard moves Jazz around the world. Jazz Jackrabbit 3 is a third-person shooter with platforming and adventure game elements. Devan Shell kidnaps their children, taking them into an alternate universe via the time machine from the previous game. įollowing the events of Jazz Jackrabbit 2, Jazz Jackrabbit and Eva Earlong settle down in Carrotus Castle and become parents. Spaz and Lori, both of whom were from the preceding game, were also intended to be playable, but only Jazz is playable in the alpha. Since then, the demo of alpha has been leaked onto the internet. ĭevelopment of the game was ceased part way through in May 2000 as Epic Games was unable to find a publisher.

The game was planned for release on PC and PlayStation 2. As the game's alternate name implies, it would have been rendered in 3D. Spearheaded by Dean 'Noogy' Dodrill (an animator for Jazz Jackrabbit 2) and coded by World Tree Games, it was being developed for the original Unreal Engine technology in 1999. Jazz Jackrabbit 3 (alternatively called Jazz Jackrabbit 3D: Adventures of a Mean Green Hare) is the cancelled game of the series.
