Jazz Jackrabbit

A portable engine for the fast-moving original Jazz Jackrabbit, using your game data.

A classic, rebuilt

OpenJazz targets the original Jazz Jackrabbit, not Jazz Jackrabbit 2. Levels, graphics, and sound remain separate from its open engine. Different original releases contain different episodes, so a shareware installation should not be described as the full registered game. Follow the project’s file-layout instructions for your edition. A browser port needs more than a title-screen test: level transitions, movement timing, audio, and retained progress must also be checked.

What you need

Original game data required

This is a discovery entry. We do not currently provide a supported browser build. Follow the upstream project for its installation instructions and supported platforms.

Controls & input

  • See the upstream project’s control documentation.

Saving your progress

Follow the upstream project’s save instructions. There is no hosted player for this entry.

Known limitations

  • Directory entry; browser gameplay has not been verified here.

Source & assets

The engine and game data have separate licenses. A source release does not automatically make the original artwork, music, or levels freely redistributable.
