    The inclusion of the tilest, sadly enough, does not improve this level much. While it’s possible that something inventive could be made out of a test based primarily around helicopter ears, this does not feel like that. Most of the level is spent using helicopter ears to navigate through narrow tunnels of warp events, much like every other test level in the world. There are a few breaks – an airboard part, an Updraft style part, a Copter Tests style part – but for the most part you just helicopter ear, occasionally against wind or some other devillish obstacle. The designs of the parts vary but generally consist of your going downwards and striving to move left or right fast enough when necessary.
    There’s nothing exactly wrong with all of that, but there’s nothing right about it either. TEST for Jazz brings nothing to the test field. It adds no ideas. Anyone can make you fly through warp tiles, but tests are one genre of levels which rely almost completely on some degree of inspiration and originality, as well as good design (and occasionally even eyecandy), to make any sort of impression. Mike’s Platform Tests is a level I can play many times. His underwater jumping level, not as much. This, I have no interest in redoing.
    Of course, part of the issue is that this level is visually inexcusable. I have no clue why anyone, including the author, would use this tileset. The sembalance of a textured background is badly reduced in colors, and the whole of the level consists of lines of brightly colored blocks or 32×32 tiles against that background, with a scrolling JAZZ made of MSPaint blocks with Jazz heads on them. Also, the lighting is dark for some reason. The whole thing is blindingly bright and painful and, again, probably looked better before the tileset was included. Please, if you insist on using a tileset full of bright colors, do it properly. People have put the Simple tileset to good use before.
    So, as I’ve said, there’s nothing particularly wrong with this level, aside from its visual appearance, it’s just nothing interesting in the least. Not only that, it’s not even tested. You can get easily stuck in the winning area, and that’s assuming you can get to the winning area, as the sucker tube that’s supposed to send you there ended up flinging me out of the level and into the bottom edge of the screen. :( No download recommendation.
