    Yes, A nice episode pack some orginal levels in it (like the car level)

    You need some skill in the levels but there is a but here the eyecandy in most of the levels where boring. It needed some more..
    There are some parts that you could be stuck though =P
    anyways good job guys we needed more SP episodes =)

    This level pack is very very cool.

    It has nice ideas, and its just….(Argh! Stupid language…no other ways to describe :-)

    Well its just really good.
    I liked the CAR level too.
    And I didn’t find a bug…
    I thought of giving it an extra point
    for New Years but…

    Then I thought all the Admins and Aiko would be mad at me (And we don’t want that :-)

    (Added Note: Oh yes. The Strawberry tileset is really cool! And easy to work with. I’m making a level right now with it! And for that, I’ll give ya an extra 0.2 points…No wait….Still might make Admins/Aiko mad….Maybe i’ll increase it later…)

    And this review is too long (for me)

    Indeed, dutch level makers strike back with this very cool pack.
    “Putrid Monkey” contains eight brand new single player levels, it uses five homecooked tilesets and four custom music files. Some of the levels are very original (the car chase is fun for example) and the underused tilesets were used very well (J1-Diamondus, Temple, Strawberries!). By the way, it would be very cool, if you could include a readme text file that gives info about who made the tilesets and the music (selfmade tilesets will make me rate it higher :-).
    The pack also includes a Jazz 2 Episode file (.j2e) which means you can easily chose it from within the game (you’ll see a new [not-so-beautiful!] button in the episode selection screen which is pretty cool). I hope the guys will release the J2E-Tool sometime to give everyone the chance to make something like that :-)
    The eyecandy in all of the levels is on a very high standard, but the design is a tad confusing in some cases (some puzzles are annoying, but hey, its better than one of those 5-minute-run-thru-levels).
    The music selection just fits great! Nothing to complain about there.
    Unfortunately i didn’t hear music in “Overdose of Sand” (songcd4.s3m?). Authors, please check your files before uploading them to J2O :-)

    Overall, this is definitely A MUST DOWNLOAD for EVERYONE, not only single player fans. Great work, dutchmen! :-)

    P.S.: Dear Authors, please don’t use this page for discussing internal problems with the pack.

    WoW, a very nice single player episode. I like the use of the custom tilesets, and you also have some GREAT ideas. (Mmm, car chase.) I don’t like the idea of respawning enemies too much but it added some difficulty to the last level. Though this episode DID have some stuff to complain about. There were minor eye candy/navigational bugs, not to mention some of the ANNOYING puzzles. (hey, I like puzzles, but try to make them easier) However, aside of this, I REALLY can’t think of much to complain about.

    The music was cool but didn’t play on certain levels..

    Overall I HIGHLY recommend this pack. Get downloading.

    A very nice single player pack. The design is quite nice for each of these levels. Also, I love the car chase idea.
    Also, event placement is nice.

    A few problems with some of the levels. Mostly navagation, or the fact that you have no idea where to go. I had this problem is nearly every level!

    Anyway, I would do probably dislike this pack more than most people who reviewed this, but I still recommend this to download.

    Gotta ruin it, don’t I :)

    I didn’t like the sand part.. where if you fall on the sand, you go DOWN THROUGH the sand.. and going way down, I never found anything down there..

    Go ahead and download this.

    Yeah, The Episode pushes the Shareware off the screen. :) But anyways, I like this pack and the idea of creating a new J2E file. :) I especially liked the car level. :) So I’ll give this an 8.

    A pretty impresive single player pack from my home country, ‘Putrid monkeys revenge’ still one of the top50 packs for JJ2. It had good eyecandy, and some pretty sweet level design, pluss exelent music choices. The one thing i was missing here was a story: ‘Putrid monkeys revenge’ may be a very well designed pack, but i realy could’nt see a story in this. Apart from that, i’d say this is a very high quality level pack, that no one should miss. I only have one more complaint: I was for some reasen unable to find the end of the last level, ‘the lab
    down under’. But, people, go download this spiffy li’ll Dutch SP pack now. [This review has been edited by >CelL<]

    Nice levelpack.
    I particularly liked the Jazz1:Diamondus tileset and the car level.
    But in the last level you get stuck in the wall,because the warp target is too near the wall….

    Even though the Eye candy was not to the upmost extent, it didn’t take away from gameplay, which was awesome. Ok, I’m getting confusing right?

    It was a great pack. I enjoyed playing it, was challenged, and liked the eye candy. I highly recomend this.

    The only reason it got less that it did was because there were several annoying parts (car chase 2, the sand level, and the labrat level where you get stuck after going through the warp).

    Eye candy, while nice, could’ve been a little better.

    Just download it already! =)

    Im very sorry to tell you guys that the Episode file wont work right in 1.23 (I think it does in tsf) because of an error by me while creating it.

    I think that if you delete the "ending" as next level and replace it for "endepis" in d-am-n2 it will work again, but if you do that you’ll need to play the last episode again (thats no problemo using jjnext)

    Eh yes, I kinda thought it was cancelled so today I found out I had to create another level heh…

    I hadn’t made levels for over 2 months so blame it on me ;)

    Laguna Posted more than 20 years ago

    Err sorry people I really found a HUGE bug in one of my levels…calls for a re-upload

    “The episode file works fine for me, but you have to play the whole epic episodes first”
    -Electric Ir

    Oh yes. I forgot this. When I updated to 1.23 (As many of you on the JMMB know) my saved games were erased. So I had to play through the Epic episodes. Thats a bug you MIGHT wanna fix. Not that big of a deal.

    P.S. Yeah, that .j2e thing I would REALLY like!

    only problem in the episodes list it kinda pushes the “shareware” section outta the way :)
    On the other hand, I could just delete all but the first episode to leave space…

    DEMON Posted more than 20 years ago

    The episode thingy was also used in martins ’5 alive’, just to let you guys know…
