    I’ll let you off this time since you are making edits of default levels.
    Now, when I extract this, I am going to have to delete all of Mikeejimbo’s levels that I was trying to beta-test because they have the same filename, and I’m going to have to delete all the single player shareware levels I all ready have because you didn’t change the filename. So I created a new folder and ran them manually.
    Making me do this work is all ready a bad thing.

    New.j2l
    Pros
    Traces of good eyecandy here and there.
    The author knows how to use water effectively, something I didn’t learn for a while in my level making campaigns.
    Some effort.
    Good for a new level maker.
    Cons
    Bad eyecandy.
    Bad weapons / enemy placement.
    Short.
    Boring.

    New1.j2l
    Oh my. Oh my, oh my.
    Pros
    None.
    Cons
    There are 4 tiles used here in all – 3 of which are shootable tiles.
    It’s a maze level underwater. I hate these :(
    It would put a kid with insomnia in a European ghetto in 1939 during an air raid by the German army to sleep pronto. Lucky me I’m not too tired.
    Short.
    Short.
    Short.
    Shor— oops, I all ready said that =)
    Bad enemy placement, bad ammo placement.
    Too many.

    New2.j2l
    Better.
    Pros
    Not linear.
    Not quite as boring.
    Good eyecandy here and there… actually, in one or two places.
    Still boring.
    Cons
    Short
    Bad eyecandy
    Etc.

    I’m not reviewing the other levels because they are WAY too similar to the originals. My review is based on your levels only.

    Overall
    Pros
    Some effort here and there.
    Not linear.
    Cons
    Bad eyecandy.
    Short.
    Etc.

    Sorry, no download reccomendation. Put more effort into your levels. Download a good single player level, and look at it – look at what makes a single player level good.
    To make a good single player level.
    1.) Make it long.
    2.) Make it original.
    3.) Make it hard, but not TOO hard.
    4.) Put in skill level settings.
    5.) Put in funny text messages :-)
    6.) Put in food, but don’t overdo it!
    7.) Put in gems.
    8.) What am I saying? Read some articles in the articles section.

    Keep practicing…….

    Hey, guy!

    Remember to name your levels to other than original levels of jj2, so someone could play em. I don’t wanna lose the original shareware episode of jj2, and also make your own episode or level! Do not copy or remix any level, okay, so it will be more interesting, and better also.

    Make something original.
