One of my favourite level packs. Congtats for your achievement!
Level 1: (Forgot name)
Probably the shortest level, it starts out VERY good with those translucent clouds and the start pos is good. The eyecandy ruxors and the placement, a bit overused, but still very good. Nice enemy choice btw.
Level 2: Promised Land
This level was a lot longer, and better. The eyecandy was some ofthe best tyou can make with this tileset. Nice tile placement, ive yet to see a bug. There are some cool effects and nice placement, interesting enemy choice. Loved the music used here and in the previous level.
Level 3: Wasteland Blues
The eyecandy was amazing here, so where the secrets and placement. Cool enemy choice and good tile placement. Level has a good flow and cool music (once again). Its long and is very cool
Level 4: Rainy Forest
Music here wasnt exactly the best in the pack, but fitted ok. Level was VERY long and so much eyecandy, im amazed how one could make such a long and eyecandied level. The gameplay and enemies good, as well as the secrets. The tileset use was near perfect, and this was very good.
Level 5: I think it was called Swamp jump
This level was also VERY long and took me a while to beat, but the save points and carrots kept it possible. The enemies were placed good, made the level more difficult, and the goodies a bit overused, i got 2 sugar rushes i think. The eyecandy was as good as it was in the previous level, near perfect.
Level 6: City of the past
Once again in baffled of how blade knows how to use such tilesets so well, the eyecandy, which was confusing at times, was also near perfect. The tile placement was the best it could be with such as hard to use tileset. The music wasnt very good though, but it fits. Good enemy choice and good placement, many secrets and stuff. Glad you used the night version, i like it better than the day version ;)[This review has been edited by Blackraptor]

Very high rating, for some of the best single player levels that I have ever seen! These levels indeed use some of the best tilesets ever, including three of Agama’s four tilesets and Dethman’s 7th lava fall set. The levels themselves are well-tiled and full of eyecandy. The layouts are excellent! The difficulty starts pretty low, but the levels get harder. (But not impossible). They are full of secrets, and areas to explore. These levels have an overall great feeling to them, and are very fun to play. Good job, guys!
Might I recommend naming the episode? Great episodes go down in Jazz 2 history, such as ‘Another Story’, and ‘Tomb Rabbit’, and many others. They all have names. Is this to be remembered only as ‘The Episode’? I would also have liked some kind of storyline, but it is not needed. Overall, this is a definite must download!!! These are some truly great single player levels.
I like it, I really like it.
But where did you get the music when you enter the boss area in the last level?
Hmmm… Pretty good. Strange name.
I mean that “The episode” is some S-t-r-a-n-g-e.[This review has been edited by Superjazz]
You really have to include the sets needed for the pack. Sure Agama’s are possibly the best custom sets out there but that doesn’t mean everyone has them installed. I had actually but I reinstalled Jazz recently. Having to search for the sets before I can start is HIGHLY annoying.
I downloaded Agama’s sets though and tried the pack anyway. To my suprise I got another missing tileset error in the third lvl…
Anyway, my impression from the first two levels is that they were very well-made but lacked direction and purpose. I think it would have been more interesting with some sort of story.
Dodo is evil in reviewing.
This pack really really rules, I love the way Blade detailed the eyecandy, and the levels contains loads of secrets and coins to collect.
Download this.

Good lvl pack with intersting levels. The tileset choosage, the enemys the ammo, the other goodies.. everything is super! It’s good that you had chosen good tilesets with good graphics.
It would be better if you would build 6 levels and use three tilesets, it would be like a real jj2 episode!! [This review has been edited by SD]

To sum it all up, this pack is horribly overrated. “The Episode” does feature six levels, all of them are decent. The problem is though, that they are “only” decent. In every level, you have to collect stuff, kill enemies, find the exit, then in the next one collect stuff, kill enemies, find the exit. Come to think of it, the other levels aren’t different either. The levels are not bad, but they’re just boring. To quote Ninja Dodo, “Why would anybody want to play what they played over and over again in numerous other episodes?” What “The Episode” fails in is creativity. There is nothing, really nothing which is different from the standard episodes. The standard episodes have a story though, aswell as some puzzle elements, and other stuff, like the Cats in the Psych levels. This one is just straight forward exit-finding, and come to think of it – in the last level you have to defeat Bubba in another lame arena. To make it even worse, that is totally easy. Neither the bad guys feature a challenge, nor Bubba does. I started playing with three lifes, and ended up having six, which means there must be something wrong. The only difficult thing is to find all the coins for the coin warp as there are thousands of hidden ways, but that doesn’t make up for the fact that it is still very easy to beat the Episode.
The best thing about The Episode is the eyecandy, which is very well. I especially liked the last last level, which looked amazing, and there weren’t any tilebugs either. That’s were the 7.7 comes from, otherwise it would’ve been even lower.
Still, the levels get boring very fast, and there isn’t even a storyline.
If you like uncomplicated, easy single player levels, then this is for you. For me, it’s just too easy and standard.
Still, I give it a download recommendation, as I maybe have been a bit rude.

I actually played through this last night right before bed, and really enjoyed it. This is a short and sweet level pack, all the levels are very fun and high quality. They’re very straightforward, which is something I liked a lot. There were no obnoxious puzzles. Only complaint is some Spaz biasing with getting goodies. I highly reccomend this.

I think its a very good one!!!!

fire good
eye candy good
lvl 2 good
lvl 3 good
lvl 4 i dont no im dont have the tileset
For some reason I like these levels very much! They are just great! The Tilesets are used very good. Top class high quality levels. I think these level are the best SP levels which use those Tilesets of Agama etc. Now the music is included you can enjoy even more the greatness of this pack! Well I think this is really a DOWNLOAD RECOMMENDATION WORTH! Catch the 9!Well Done!
Cool! (I´m not master of ratings and I playing gruntz longer so I forgot how to rating)

You forgot to include the music. Re upload.
This is interesting, because Blade wanted Cell to re-upload his CTF pack, and now Cell wants Blade to re-upload his SP pack.
Do me a favor and re-upload your stuff because I still can’t download Cell’s Evil CTF pack beta 2 v0.87 and now I’m missing music from Blade’s SP pack!

Problem fixed now. I don’t understand fully what went wrong. I’m sure I uploaded the .zip with the musics!
Thanks BlurredD that you reminded me: Cell! The Evil CTF pack! :)
These are ok, but they’re not superb. They need more trigger crates, for example. And there are far too many goodies – I got a sugar rush on almost every level, and two sugar rushes on two of the levels.
The design’s pretty good, very unusual.[This review has been edited by Violet CLM]

Atlas: it means you have the wrong set. There’s also an updated version 1.1 of the Heaven set here on J2O.
