Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Ah. It’s been a little while since I last wrote reviews.
Now comes SplashCC with his new level. The Dragonball tileset is quite nice, the background stuff was great. But the level is anyway pretty simple, the tileset forces to that. And there’s little lack of ammo.
But anyway I think this deserves a 7,5. SplashCC must have worked this hard.

argh! this file is too big for me! I try tomorrow…

First of all, Flash, that’s as close as you can get to “eyecandy” using only events. Second, all the swinging vine stuff is great for h-poles and hooks, as is shown in the example level. All the tiles have uses.

Also, I have no idea what any of you are talking about with “combine with other tilesets”? Could you explain a little further please? :D

And one more thing. IMHO, this tileset is very easy and fun to make levels with. I greatly enjoyed creating that example level, for example. More fun then I get out of a lot of levels, anyway.

I haven’t downloaded it but i saw it on a server. Good job!

This very good level reminds me the original battle levels. The weapons are in good positions and the eye-candy is in good condition too. Keep up the good work, Magoo.

Sorry, but I don’t like this tileset too much, though it’s not that bad. The colours are a bit weird, and you can’t create a good, big level with this either…

Oh my holy JCS! As everyone, I looked at it :p. The tileset has graphics like platforms, vines and some weird “screenshotted” (Yeah, weird verb :) stuff like the poles from some tileset, and some useless (IMO) screenshots of a swinging vine with a crate. I really don’t get why everyone is giving this a 6.0. A tileset is something to make a level with, not something to combine with other tilesets. So I’m sorry, Violet, but I can’t give this higher than a 4.0.

Okay, reactions to the critics :)

Violet: I know they can be usefull for that, but they are taking much space from the tileset and I would rate it batter if you put other stuff in the used space. mr Magoo was talking about combining tilesets to a mega level (or something). I changed my rating to a 5.0 :p. And please don’t remember me as “the-stupid-who-rated-my-tileset-so-low” :)

Whizz: I never create small levels with tileset before I review it because even when I create a small level I’m busy with it around 3 hours and I think that’s wasting time (I’m a perfectionist; I’m testing the level around every 10 seconds and I’m spending minutes on the good fitting of two tiles :)[This review has been edited by Fl@$h aka BlewMeUp]

Well, when I first looked at the tilesets I was shocked. But then I realized that these tilesets shouldn’t be used to make a level. It should be used to combine these tilesets and other tilesets to create a mega level. good idea, although like Veggie said, the tilesets are way 2 small. Another thing is that the tilesets wouldn’t really fit levels sometimes, with their outer eyecandy filled in. Try to add more next time Violet!

I really dont like the moving buildings.
They are boring and confusing.
Also, when you go into the coin warp, you get the following:
-Pepperspray powerup (Completly useless, I thnik it should have been switched with seeker powerup)
-Tons of FastFires (Waste of space, there are already too many FastFires in the level)
-Full health and invincibility carrots (Making it the perfect place to camp (Not Good!))

The layout and design is ok, except for the problems mentioned above.
Oh and you need faster music, it is battle, not single player!

Good eyecandy.. etc. music you name it.

Where is the ammo? I would’ve given this a 7.0 had you placed more ammo within the level.

VeggieMan

pretty cool, a little hard but still cool.

A 6 is what you want and a 6.2 is what you shall get. It’s good that you made a tilset. I dunno it really hurt my eyes a lot and was kinda I dunno… weird. When I rate tileset I rate them on the base if I will ever use them and I can’t say that I will use this tileset but that doesn’t mean other won’t as well. The B&W version I like. Not too hard on my eyes, but I dunno if I would ever make a level with it.

===================================
To sum it up. The tileset is too small. There could be a lot more. There isn’t too much to work with and the colour version hurts my eyes.

VeggieMan

Good level it look nice etc. I could’ve seen some more eyecandy though. I remember the first time I saw this tileset used. It used by Nemsis AD. That was years ago. He did an excellent job with the use of the tileset but the level wasn’t all that great. If you ever find his level you could learn a lot from the way he used the tileset. I think I may have it.. anyways…
Here is why your level got my 6.5.. I couldn’t get certain things because I was Jazz. I really really really hate that. I couldn’t get the one thing I love! The seeker power up. There is one way to get if your Jazz. But that means getting 50 coins and flying across the level to get to it. If your Spaz all you need to do is double jump and it’s all yours

The music works nicely with the level.
