Jet Set Escape

Jet Set Escape is a 3D Skating-Based platformer done for the Video Game Swap Day by Inora. It is an AU crossover of Jet Set Radio and Ape Escape. The game centers around Spike, a "rudie" living in Tokyo-to who must round up an army of apes set on the loose by their master, the villainous Specter. Reception is TBA.
==Plot==
Tokyo-to is a city of expression where "rudies" use graffiti and acrobatics to express themselves. Spike, a rudie starting a new gang known as the GGs comes upon a secret lair where he finds Specter, an evolved monkey planning to rule the city with an iron first using his monkey army. Spike accidentally frees the thousands of monkeys out, enraging Specter. While Spike takes it upon himself to catch the monkeys, Specter releases his army of robots, lead by Captain Onimasha.
Spike gets help from a mysterious Professor and new friends he meets along the ways, going across the world and even to outer space to stop the monkeys while battling rival gangs. Eventually he rounds up all of the monkeys, and is attacked by Specter and his gigantic monkey-esque battle station. With the help of his friends, the GGs defeat Specter and the Monkeys join the GGs, as they celebrate in Tokyo-to.
==Gameplay==
The game is a 3D platformer with various elements of acrobatics and skating. Players take control of Spike, Natalie, Jimmy, and Kei & Yumi, each with their own style and gadget that will help them in the game. The main mode is Escape Tour, where players platform across 6 open-world stages, and solve puzzles and platform to find Monkeys, which they can catch with their GetNets. Once all 100 Monkeys have been caught, players return to the giant world map where they can also stop by the Lab, where they can test their skills and buy useful items. At the end of every stage is a boss battle.
Other modes are Timed Tour and Party Tour. Timed Tour has players revisit completed stages to try and complete them within a time limit. Party Tour has players racing their friends to the end of a small stage, or trying to catch the most Monkeys.
