I’ve never liked it when levelmakers call their own levels “a blast”, but (unfortunately) I have decided to never downrate it for that. You’re right, however, about the level being long. It’s a fairly long level for a single player level. Generally, when fairly new levelmakers make long levels, they end up as really tedious and not worth note. This is an example of this phenomenon, however I must say this level has some bright spots. Firstly, eyecandy isn’t bad at all. I couldn’t find many errors, rare for a first level, and there was enough eyecandy to keep me visually entertained. Nothing went beyond the call of duty, but what was there was sufficient. Secondly, this level is difficult. A lot of this comes from the enemy placement. Enemies are located in the most annoying places. Some are behind layer three, others are just generally hard to see. This in combonation with the heavy use of the rapier enemy, which goes through walls, makes it very easy to be accidentally hurt by an enemy even without being careless. There are few carrots and save points. The flow wasn’t the inner light to say the least. Many of the corridors were just one tile wide, making bumps into walls frequent. This level is an example of a good level for a new level maker. It may have some gameplay flaws, but the author demonstrates good knowledge of how Jazz 2 functions and I can tell that a lot of effort was put into this level. It may get tedious after a while, but if you want to play a simple-ish but challenging single player level, this is where it’s at. No download recommendation, but keep trying. I will give it a six point two. Not bad, especially for a first level.
