This is an overall solid pack. While the levels are very linear and aren’t extremely original, they are well constructed and pretty fun. The lack of a story does lead to some problems though, since this means the pack is just a series of levels with no real point. This can lead to boredom in some areas.
I noticed a couple of fairly large bugs in this pack. Electro blaster can be abused to get powerups, and hit save points (you can skip pretty much the entire last level this way). Also, when you come back from the bonus level, there is no water which means you can touch the bottom of the level.
Event placement is well done for the most part. Annoying enemies like ravens and dragonflies were a bit too common in my opinion though. I also thought that powerups were placed in far too easy areas, and that made the coin warps pretty pointless.
Overall the quality of this pack is roughly on par with the standard jj2 singleplayer. The tileset even has a different pallete for the second level using it, like standard jj2.
I give this an 8.5. Most of these levels are around 7.0 quality, but this pack overall deserves more than that.
Why are you guys messing up this download page with talks like that? And Dx, it looks like you always ask that question when a level is TSF. There are many people that only have or use TSF. And now, be happy that we finally see something different on the Jazz2 community again. The last year we didn’t got much good single player works, it looks like almost everybody only cares about the multiplayer modes last time. This level don’t deserves stupid ‘fake’ review posts, it needs fresh, long reviews and that is axactly what I’m going to do now!
THE CONTENT:
This is a single player pack that contains 6 levels ordered in the standard Jazz2 episode way, or whatever you would call that. Those levels where made in Jazz1 conversion tilesets. It also has music files from Jazz1, of course the ones that fit with the correct tileset.
THE PLACEMENT:
These levels have anything a single player level needs. It hasn’t overused food items, much gems, enemies that fit into the level where you are, good ammo placement, and of course coins and a coin warp! And don’t forgot about the trigger puzzles, it has some non original puzzles but also much very original ones! The eyecandy placement could be better, but it still looks good.
THE USE:
This pack just never bores you. Even if you are tired of single player. It’s just that the gameplay is original, how original? find that out yourself! The levels are even as long as the original Jazz2 levels. That means this is as long as one of the normal Jazz2 episodes. The placement of poles, vines, and tubes are well used though.
THE SCORE:
Not much to say in here, I’m glad that chandie made a new level pack and I hope everyone would download this masterpiece. This review was worth for it!

why is it 1.24….
Edit 1:
See Jarno Vos i understand you don’t get why People don’t like it 1.24 but can you shut up then?
(Please stop posting one line reviews complaining about uploads being 1.24. This adds nothing to the download page and is a waste of (admittedly little) space. If you will persist on clicking on uploads which require TSF, I suggest buying TSF. ~Violet)
