Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Since duels are one of my favourite things when it comes to JJ2, I decided to rate this ’1-vs1 battle level’ by PT32.

Okay, the first notable thing of this level is the size. The playable area is about 70 × 20, which is pretty okay for a level designed for duels. The problem is that this level consists of only 2 large platform, which results in no gameplay at all – or at least very, very little (in the whole level, but especially in the upper half). A good thing about the design is how the area near the carrot is pretty cramped (which adds to the gameplay).

I however think the Seeker-ammo kinda ruins the carrot-area (it makes the area too easy to defend or to camp there) and the other ammo seems pretty randomly placed. Perhaps you could’ve put the Seeker-ammo where the Toaster-ammo is now, since it would be more risky to get it – and the Toaster-ammo near the +1 carrot. At least the ammount is okay (lots of Toaster and just 4 Seeker-ammo). Also – I think the carrot-area would’ve been better without the ‘rail’ above it, since this makes the area even more campable. Another thing to note is the fact that this level has no springs at all – which is a nice idea. It however does make the level very Spaz-biased, which obviously is a bad thing. Finally, there are no PU’s in this small level – which is a good thing.

About the eyecandy.. it’s pretty decent and definitely the best part of this level. I like how PT32 used the unmasked ground tiles (meant as background-EC) at layer 3 to give the level a darker cave-look. I also like the ‘crystal’ in combination with the Flick Light-events. I however don’t like the lava-falls behind the crystal (kinda ruins the effect. I would’ve liked an orange lava-fall in the level to ‘break’ all the white- and blueness. Finally, the background-eyecandy divides the level in areas, which is a positive thing.

So, to summarize the things above: some of the ideas are okay, the eyecandy is okay – but the level overall is just way too simplistic. I think especially event placement needs to be improved dramatically. Since there are lots of other better battle levels suitable for duels out there, I unfortunately don’t recommend this.

Rating: Size (70) + Eyecandy (60*3) + Gameplay (32,5*3) + Event placement (20*2) + Theme (75) = 462,5.

Looks good, I’ll add this to the levellist :3

Another awesome web-application from DJazz :)
I tried it some time ago, really fun to make lvls together >_<
I recommend it to you – Check it out sometime ;-)

I haven’t made any levels for ages due to lack of motivation, but I recently tried out WebJCS’ online collaboration.
It’s so much more fun to create a map when you have others around helping you, even if you usually don’t create levels.
Also, WebJCS adds many other features that simplify levelmaking a lot, it’s definitely worth checking out!

Alien Temple ][? Hell yeah.

I can say that this map is very good, aldo a bit small. But I can see that (no matter the size) the map has been done very nicely with 7 layers used. The music also fits in perfectly. Also the weapons and the carrot placement was nice. Nice job.

Such a shame this didn’t get much attention. I had a great time playing through this pack, despite having some design flaws. It’s very clear that this author is extremely talented, and I can confidently predict a bright future for him/her. Props go out to the creativity of the pack, and for the pleasant eyecandy. Give it a try! ;)

it’s good

[Review changed to quick review, see the review rules.

Agree with PJ.

This level only involves gameplay, almost nothing next to it. the same tile used in every wall is really a bummer, this could have looked great and playable otherwise. Some parts of the layout are just huge and bland. and i dislike how it’s a little too tunnely overall.

A 9.4 and a 9.5? Sorry, but while this level is solid that is grossly overrating it. It’s a 7.5 for me. Perfectly adequate, nothing major to complain about, but that’s what we’ve come to expect from cooba by now. Don’t think I’m putting level down though, I’m not. It’s a quality piece of work and well worth your time. Download recommended.

Funny level!

VSFC is by far the superior level here, and is the main selling point of the pack in my opinion, despite what the other reviewers have stated. Great event level. TCS has cool aspects to it such as the the freezable celing springs, although suffers from severe Red bias, due to having faster attacking routes than Blue and a more defendable base.

Despite drawing quality that’s average at best, this tileset is surprisingly versatile and unique. I recommend giving it a try.

Nice program .. Anyway maybe we’ll made a level together ..

thios are a level very hgood

My first lvl’s from years ago :) Didn’t know a thing about lvl-design then XD. Nostalgic :P

I might redo them and host them on my upcoming server XD

Could you please upload the map’s tileset?

These levels are pretty poor held up to today’s standards. It seems people got excited about the tileset used in these levels rather than the levels themselves. After all, they aren’t just the example levels, they’re the focus of this upload.

10? Really? Nonetheless, cool but far from perfect.
