    Thanks for keeping this alive guys :) I’ve updated the description to include a new download (after all these years I finally found a folder on one of my really old machines). Remember I was only 13 when I made this :D It was a whole half a life time ago!

    Original Review from back in 2001:

    Glad to see so many reviews in one day. Anyway, I know there are a few errors, like if you go too close to a tree, you die and the ski marks make it look like you hadn’t got that close to it. You see, unlike Jazz Jackrabbit, Multimedia Fusion ( same as CnC ) doesn’t have a mask on the backgrounds (aka tiles) I sort of made one for the rocks, because they are more important, by having a solid tile over the non-solid tile, but just being smaller. Um, no where in the text file does it say you can make your own levels Violet, but if enough people ask me, I might be able to make afew more levels, or might be able to make a kit, including all the Jazz animations for the people who have MMF or CnC. I haven’t got any music in the game because of memory problems, it use to be 6 mb, I saved 1 mb by getting rid of some music, and 2 by shortening the intro ( doesn’t have Devan going down the rabbit hole and grabbit Jazzes gun, and Jazz waking up in shock )

    I made the game challenging, so it takes a little longer than 5 minutes to complete. Also, read the help file, it doesn’t mean your a loser, it just helps for a few simple things

    Oh, one last thing, I do know how to have it so you don’t collect coins on jumps, but I find it makes the game too hard to get 300 coins for the Holiday Hare Bonus level ( I’ll happily give you the password for that level if you really need it ! )

    PS: I would like to see on the reviews, what the highest scores were,

    Mines: 305 I think

    Btw: Don’t forget to click on Spaz in the loading screen ;)

    ———
    Um, I guess you can only go back to the main menu after being in the unlock cheats area by either pressing F2 or Going to the menu at the top of the screen, and clicking on Jazz Ski Rabbit, then back to menu. This is the equivilent to ‘Restart Application’ :p

    I should have but a ‘back to menu’ button in the unlock cheats area so its easier to get back.

    ———-
    I’ve updated the image, because a few people have been finding it hard to see the web address, The new image has the address in white in a black background at the bottom of the cover, not shaded, not thick, nice and thin and easy to read :)

    Ps: Remember that the Squiggely symbol just before the debandy part is a tilde, this symbol ~ Shift + the button above Tab :p

    I somehow missed this fangame in the old days, so thanks for pushing it to the top of the downloads list again!

    This fangame is a so called ‘Click Game’ made with the software from ClickTeam. I played it under Windows 8.1 and it works surprisingly well. Only fullscreen doesn’t work which is expected as 8.1 has problems utilizing DirectDraw.

    The game starts with a menu screen sharing similarities to that of JJ2. Once starting a game, you see a charming intro movie with Jazz waking up in a cave(?) being surprised of something. It looks nice for a fangame, but doesn’t necessarily make it clear why Jazz sets off to a snowy planet.

    The gameplay involves Jazz automatically skiing down off snowy slopes, and you have to move left and right to avoid obstacles, and move up to brake and down to accelerate. All while jumping in the air through ramps and grabbing Gold Coins. The game’s simple to control but I had problems getting used to the very sensitive hit detection and amount of precision that’s required at times. This means it’s easy to move over ramps and coins, but also that it’s a tad too easy getting hit by rocks and especially trees.

    After 3 levels comes a fun bonus level involving a big jump, followed by another fun cutscene. The final level doesn’t have anything to do with skiing, but instead takes on a traditional platformer where you having to walk, jump, duck, and roll through what appears to be Devan’s base. It’s fun to see how all obstacles here make Jazz die in a different way. Yes, it made me want to try getting hit by fire just to see the different yet simple animation.

    The only problem I had in this level was again the sloppy hit detection, which is more a problem of ClickTeam’s standard Platform Movement engine rather than Et’s. But once getting used to that it’s actually a pretty solid level to explore with a good tileset and fun obstacles.

    The game ends with another cutscene which makes clear what the intro didn’t. Jazz lost his gun and chased down Devan to get it back, who apparently stole it in his sleep! Next comes a screen that let’s you unlock bonuses with the coins you collected. You can buy the ending movie or one of the levels which is kind of unnecessary. But 300 coins gives you a bonus level, and I had 215 coins so that means back to start..

    In my next run of the game I kept hitting obstacles on purpose whenever I missed some coins. Getting 300 required a near perfect play, but I managed to do it and finished the festive bonus level!

    I recommend this game as it’s probably the best Jazz fangame made that’s actually finished. The graphics are pretty rough and sometimes out of proportion, but also very charming and nostalgic. It’s too bad Et doesn’t have the source anymore, otherwise compiling it with newer ClickTeam software would make this an excellent HTML5 or mobile game! I give it a solid 9 for quality and a bit of nostalgia, and recommend it for download even in 2014!

    I’m not sure how to rate this yet…
    It’s very sweet _ love the menus ect. what’d you make it in?
    Great ski game simple graphics. Jazz sliding down a hill.
    I’m still on L1.

    Ok, decided my review, the main only is the rocks masking and rabbit masking, which drags on to gameplay and they both drag to overall so 8.2 is what I give it.
    Great fun though, downlaod this guys also you 56Kers.[This review has been edited by Nitro]

    !

    Reminds me of those old Sonic Fan-Games…

    Wh00ps, better get back to the review.

    Anyways, the game (Which was made in CnC, BTW) Has jazz skiing down a hill, Something that couldn’t be done with the regular jazz2. Very nice. :P Nice way to end too. (Buy cheats :P)

    As this is a different game in itself, I am deciding om how to rate this…

    Ok, i’ve got an idea…

    Music: 1.3/2.0
    Nothing to complain about here. Either my speaker’s messed up, or there’s no music.

    Sound: 2.0/2.0
    Absolutely NO SOUND from jazz2 was used in this game. Oooh, origionality. I always liked that. :)

    Gameplay: 2.0/2.0
    No problems here, Except those unfixable CnC Bugs…

    Story: 1.9/2.0
    Pretty good, I like the idea of no weapons, it makes it a different game :)

    Graphics: 2.0/2.0
    Same Jazz ones, just with skis on. I especially like the different death anims :)

    Overall: 9.2/10.0

    Well, this is well made, except for the traditional bugs included with the game making series you made this with. I should know, having two of them myself.
    I like the last level... are you sure we can make our own levels? :P I think I read that in the text file, but it seems to change every time I read it!
    Oh, one other bug. You can get coins while you’re in the air, ABOVE THEM.

    Message edited. By the way, is there any way to get back to the menu from the cheats area other then F2? It seems that cheats only work after you discover them, and I can’t find any ways to get back to the menu that don’t UNDISCOVER them. Makes it hard to see what the cheats do..[This review has been edited by Violet CLM]

    Hey this is really kewl! Level 4 is a bit confusing; Jazz doesn’t seem to want to move for a while. Also, I had a bit of control problems with level 5.
    But other than that, it’s good! Make a sequel. ;)

    Really cool and tough (rather)
    game. I’ve already managed to
    get thru it from start to the
    end today.

    I’m gonna email for the pass.
    But don’t beg for it once I get it,
    I still won’t give it to ya, sir.

    Back to review, the gameplay
    is as I said tough, but not really,
    if you’ll catch the wave quick.
    And at the end, lvl 5th isn’t easy if meaning “where-to-go?” problem.
    Well, I’ve found it easy w/o passing scanners (the hardest puzzle, man).

    A must-have for every JJ fan. :)

    downloaded it. EXCELLENT!
    a bit easy……level5 is HARD, though. PLEASE make more! I’d love that.

    please make a music pack as a seperate
    d/l so we can hear music..that makes it much more enjoyable.

    graphics:
    9/10
    they are good..mostly the same as in jazz2, but edited.

    sounds:
    7/10
    could be better, and sometimes mess up

    movies:
    10/10
    GOOD movies.

    i dont know if 9.7 averages out, but that’s how good it is. DOWNLOAD IT!

    EDIT: this is the best download EVER!
    you MUST download this level! DOWNLOAD IT!
    DOWNLOAD IT!
    I COMMAND YOU ALL TO DOWNLOAD IT!!
    HAHAHAAH!
    IT IS SOOOOOOO GOOD! SOOOOOOOOOOO….GOOD! download it.
    i had to move my rating to a 10..this is exceptional work.

    Good….The levels are kinda short, but there tough.310 is my score.I’m sure thats the highest.Their is no music troughout the game, but plenty of sound. The coins sound more like your picking up 100 not 1.But thats about it.Gameplay is preatty good. I like it off the ski’s. Maybe in the never-gonna-make-it 1.25, we could roll and have scanners and stuff.8.5 is what it is.

    Great game just wonderful now lets get to the point.

    I’m very angry because I spent sooo looong getting 300 coins, and then you gave me a fake password to the bonus level. It said it was 2152, but when I tried it, it didn’t work. TELL ME HOW TO GET TO THE BONUS LEVEL OR I WILL UNINSTALL!!!

    Well, I guess I just read the # wrong, but the bonus level is basically level 2 in holiday hare mode.

    anyways, a wonderful game, extremeley fun. However, I only had this game for 1 day. THIS GAME IS IN DESPERATE NEED OF A SEQUEL!!!

    since everyone’s already said everything good and bad about this, it’s just a great game.

    But a few suggestions for the sequel:
    more levels (preferably around 10-20

    an original bonus level(maybe even a bonus campaign!)

    Different graphics(Jass in a pile of snow on top of the water looks a little strange)

    Spaz(and Lori)

    powerups(speed, invincibility, etc.)

    the snowboard

    better masks(you can miss a rock by a few pixels and it will say you crashed, especially annoying where you need to get the coin between the two rocks)

    Better control(in Jazz mode, because it is kinda hard to jump and get into roll mode)>[review This as a ten]
    Edit: and a level editor!!!

    sheesh, you mean I can’t rate this a 13?!?[This review has obviously been edited by AcId because it looks different][This review has been edited by AcId]

    Awsome. Too bad it isnt for download anymore being that the site is down but I got to try it thanks to Violet. Unfortunately I lost it during a format of my HD but I rated this before. Just came back to remove all my nonsense. Anyways it’s a great game. Everyone should try it, just ask around on the JCF for it and hopefully someone nice will give it to ya.

    Art: 10
    You put alot of work into the art, and it’s very enjoyable. It just makes you want to keep playing it over and over.

    Gameplay: 9.5
    Very challenging game. But maybe too challenging? I dont know I kept trying this game and it was hard to get very far. But then again all great games take time.

    SFX: 9
    Some of the SFX was ripped and has somewhat a cut-out such as when you pick-up a coin. But other then that it was ok.

    Sub-Total: 9.5

    Bonus points for the movie.

    BlackRabite Posted more than 20 years ago

    I’ve gotten past all the skiing levels and I can tell you, it’s difficult-Because of the controls and the slow frame rate. And when Jazz falls too far in the spacship, he splats! And he gets fried and other stuff when he encounters dangerous obstacles! That’s just plain GROSS. And it took my CABLE MODEM 30 minutes just to download the whole program. I’ll rate it when I complete it, tho it probably won’t be that good a rating…

    Edit: Well, months later, I decided to delete the stupid game because it’s no fun anymore. Don’t download it, it isn’t worth anything.

    This should be deleted, as the level link is not working. There are quite a few reviews that don’t explain themselves but still somehow are accepted! I THINK WE NEED TO TALK TO J2O FOR THIS! HELLO?! J2O?

    Hi! I represent J2O, but you can call me Violet. Would you like a Donut?
    Just because a file no longer can be downloaded does not mean the upload should be deleted. People have spent a lot of time on their reviews here, and people may also just want to read the reviews to find out what other people thought about this game. Especially, you know, ET.
    Furthermore, there is a chance that at some point the file may become available for download again. In this case, it’s better to have this page ready and waiting for it, instead of having to make a new upload of the same thing.
    On a final note, reviews made before a certain date (sometime around when I was made an admin) are generally left alone. I think the reasoning is that if we remove one, we’d have to remove them all, or look biased. None of the admins really feel like going through each and every upload and deleting every bad review there is.
