Jazzpunk is a hilarious adventure through utter madness. A must play.
Jazzpunk sets out to makes us laugh, and unless you're the sort of person who can't appreciate a well-executed fart joke, there's a good chance it'll do just that.

The first two-thirds of the game are riotously funny, and while Necrophone doesn't fully deliver on its ambitions, it's better to aim high and miss than not try at all. Ultimately, Jazzpunk succeeds in creating something that's a mix between a toy and a full-fledged game. Just remember: it's about the journey, not the destination.
