About James Pond 3

James Pond 3 is a platform game focused on running and jumping. The antagonist is the evil scientist Maybe, who is supported by various minions.

This installment represents a shift from the prior games in the series. It moves away from mission-based structure and unique character abilities, adopting a more conventional platformer design. The player controls Pond through expansive levels that feature challenging terrain like steep mountainsides.

A dedicated button allows Pond to achieve a high running speed, which is necessary for navigating the large environments.
