A release date for upcoming platformer Jet Kave Adventure has finally jumped, smashed, and swung its way into our grateful arms. You'll be able to get your hands on the game from 17th September.

Said to be full of "skill-based action, challenging boss fights, clever secrets and thrilling set-pieces", Jet Kave Adventure takes a welcome dollop of Donkey Kong Country inspiration and presents it in a fresh, prehistoric fashion. You'll be taking on the role of Kave, ex-chief of your tribe, as you discover a jetpack and head out on a journey to save your beloved island.

Earlier this month, we sat down with the fine folk at game developer 7Levels to chat all about that Donkey Kong inspiration and much more besides. If you'd like to learn more about this one, make sure to check that out here.

The game will be available directly from the eShop for $19.99 / 19.99€.
