    Good level, but what is the password from this level in JCS? I don’t know!

    This is a short review. It has less impact on the upload's score.

    First, let me compliment you on your music choice. The level and music complemented eachother perfectly. Both amazingly boring. Hmmm, that wasn’t a compliment, was it?

    I can’t rate the tileset, as this wasn’t uploaded as either tileset or multiple, but I do say it had terrible masking. It also, in my opinion, could have been used better.

    Hardly any of the crates take anything more then finding an entrance and going through a maze which low detail can generally show you the way through. Because of this, I was HAPPY when I had to jump across four or five little platforms to hit a crate! Totally rudimentary, but it was such a breath of fresh air!

    Well, down to the normal stuff.

    Eyecandy:
    Many of the tiles are ok, except for the ones you drew yourself. Some of the handdrawns are fine, but most just clash with the copied “beauties”. There’s no background eyecandy, like mountain ranges. This is probably due to all the speed 1 layers used.

    Gameplay:
    Let me just say this level shouldn’t be downloaded for the gameplay.

    Weapons/Enemy Placement:
    This not being a level where they are needed for things other then tests, I won’t really rate this spot.

    Music:
    The music lasts what, seven seconds before restarting?

    Tileset use:
    Could use some work.

    All in all, because of the brief shining moments of quality, I’ll give this a 5. Only slightly below average.

    Edit: I have played it again, and it’s not quite so bad as I made it out to be.[This review has been edited by Violet CLM]

    What do you get when you mix Jazz with an RPG? Something like this I guess. (And to be honest, that is exactly why we never play any Jazz RPGs…)

    The idea was kinda cool. Like in “Cracco Land Of Coins”, the goal of the level is to detroy all crates, then find your way to the exit. But where “Cracco Land Of Coins” had some fun in it, this is absolutely boring. Not just boring for a battle-freak. No, like boring for everyone who has a private life. The level exists of a certain number of times. In every time, your goal is to…you guessed it…stomp crates. You also get some info about the time and what happens in it, but you cannot really interact with people, solve quests and stuff, just the normal running and stomping. No enemy to be found either.

    The tileset isn’t that great. It consist of mostly tiles ripped from all kinds of stuff, like RPG maker to Final Fantasy. Plus the usual Jazz stuff. If you really want to make something that is fun to play, make sure you have something nice to look at as well.

    The music was horrible. It is another one of those old RPG musics (Ok, there is nothing wrong with RPG musics, but this is Jazz. Jazz is “hip”. Jazz is “groovy”. Plus, the file sounds absolutely awful in Jazz.) Next time, try to find music that fits both Jazz and the theme.

    So, here is a small list of Pro’s and No’s:

    No:
    -Bad tileset.
    -The level is boring.
    -The music is bad.

    Pro:
    -The idea was good. Too bad the workout was bad…
    -It is not a battle level.

    Next time, make sure the public you create stuff for is interested in the works you create. Never think something is good because you like it yourself, best is to hire a team of testers who can give their opinions before you release your work.

    I was gonna give this a 5, but because I feel bad because you 2 worked so hard on this…I’ll put an extra +0.5 on top of it.

    Yes!! You finally uploaded it COOLM@N! I won´t review it yet, before I review it, I want to have completed the level at least once without cheats, to have the full experience. As far as I looked, and played, this is even nicer than Cracco Land of Coins, and Cracco The Dark Caves, which were my favorites from the old LoC-series.

    I want to say something to Ninja. You shouldn’t base your rating on the clans you’r in. Now, I have finished the level so I’ll start writing a proper review.

    Well, I REALLY love this level!!! FINALLY a level that matches the awesome quality of Cracco LoC, in my opinion, this is even better!!!!!! It’s so interesting and cool! I have always liked the levels in the LoC series, but this one surely beats all! Now, about all the points.

    • Music *
      Like that other person said, the music matches the level! It is a famous RPG song, I believe it is by Nubuo Uematsu or another great japanese artist.
    • Graphics *
      Well, I must say that the graphics really improved, when you look back at the older levels of the LoC series. Also, I think this tileset is one of Craccoboy’s best jobs so far. You should upload it, Craccoboy. Nicely done.
    • Gameplay *
      This is the part that makes me like the level the most. I had so much fun when I played this! All the time eras are smoothly constructed, and in various places, for example the Middle Ages, I really had the feeling I was a medieval knight, and in the Present, I could feel the tyrany of the evil ruler, Geo. The storyline is very interesting too. It’s cool to listen to everbody’s stories in the level.

    Well, I also want to say something to the makers of the levels. Craccoboy and COOLMAN, this is truly yet another masterpiece you brought to JJ2. I am also very pleased that Coolman worked on this level, this might earn him more admiration when it comes to level making. And now he can share something of the fame, he missed that when Craccoboy made other famous levels, such as Cracco Land of Coins, Cracco Land of Wars, Cracco Assault; Cave Intension, Cracco Practice Race, Cracco Bacco, Cracco Empire and more. Very well, I’ll stop writing now. I hope you don’t ever stop making levels as long as you’re with us, both of you!

    I’ll rate when I finish, but a quick note: When you start LoC, the question mark blocks – they won’t go away!!! I can’t get past them at all. A little help here?[This review has been edited by Hawkin 87]

    Well, you can find bouncers in the Sealed Castle. Shoot them at the blocks above the well. That’ll do. All the other blocks will be gone once you’ve found the Air Coin, which is to the west. Hope that helps.

    Btw splash, this is the online version for more people, the offline version (for single player) has enemies and bosses, and a different ending. And, many people tested it before the official release months ago. And, we do create levels the public is interested in, but there are many different publics here. Some like my levels, some don’t.[This review has been edited by CraccoBoy]

    Can’t you make one, just ONE level without your name in it? I cannot understand how you can be so narcissistic that you put your name in your clan and in EVERY SINGLE LEVER YOU MAKE.
