Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Problem fixed. Next time, I sugest not even using TSF jcs to compile a tileset. The tileset seemed fairly small, and it isn’t fair that it does not work in JJ2 1.23

Ewwwwwwwwwwww…Talk about gross :p

This is a nice set, looks just like one of Agama (only a tad smaller). Like the author said, it’s slimy! Could use some more eye candy, then it would be perfect. Only one downfall: the author said it was 1.23, but it’s TSF! -0.5 point for that, Skulg. The example level looks OK.

Basically, my only complaints were that Race2 had no BackGround (-1) and that the SP levels didn’t have enough eyecandy. (-.5) I also think that christmas is the time to release it though, But that doesn’t take points away. ;)
I give it an 8.5.

Great battle levels but they’re little bit empty. The weapons are in good places, but the powerups shouldn’t middle of the path. The mez01 level look by the way pretty nice.

The master Agama’s first ten levels are professional’s work. The eye-candy is superb, but little exaggerated at times. The parallax tricks for example in the first level were cool and they were new ideas. The diffuculty level was just fine, but I think there wasn’t foods enough. I got 2 sugar rushes in 10 levels. The music is good mostly, but some of the tracks are little bit annoying.

Now you have proved that you can really use original JJ2 tilesets, You can show the tricks of your own awesome tilesets!

I thouroughly enjoyed this race level.

For one, I love the diamondus set, so that made my enjoyment of the level even greater.

Newspaz did a great job on the eye candy and the difficulty is just perfect.

It’s kind of small, but race levels shouldn’t go one forever.

Overall I give it 8.7 =)

Mwah. Too lazy to write a review.

Oh yeah, stil:

try to make some normal sentences
and learn good english
because this is a weird review :p

yes the levels where hard but they were more annoying than anything. i found that eye candy was overdone in some places which really looked like u didn’t concider the level as a whole. most parts counteract with eachother (thats good).
i liked the bonus level. very intersting as for the rest of the packeage it was a so so average level no new tilesets nothing i never seen or certainly done before. the choice of music i found to be unfitting for a level like that. it was slow and almost put me to sleep. well i think the level deserves 6 at the most just because i passed it and glad to get it over with.

Whoa!
If this is you`r first level, i`m impressed!

Battle level:
Story: A bit inters=esting
Level: Trash :). Serious, it’s too linear and too little.
Rating: 3.0

Treasure:
Story: NO story
Level: Boring, not enough variation. Also not big enough
Rating: 5.0

Sorry for the little review :)

5.0 + 3.0 = 8.0 / 2.0 = 4.0
Overall rating: 4.0
Conclusion: Again a level from Gargoyle. LISTEN TO ME! Put more time in your levels. At the stats from quarter 3 at JCF (Generall Jazz2 Talk, Topic by Aiko) you can see YOU are the level spammer. That says enough :p

Well erm…I`m not realy an expert on race lvls..but good job.

Are these levels really your first levels? Wow! My first level…I deleted it. The only remark is that I didn’t hear any music. But…You MUST DOWNLOAD THIS!

This level has a great mood and very good eyecandy. It also is very original. I thought I saw all the race obstacles already, but newspaz managed to think up some new.

i cant bcause J2o has moved :( but ill download it as soon as it comes back!

People use only little my tilesets. I’ve seen levels made with my tileset now about 4. They were all trash. Finally Evilmike made a quality level with Wasteland. This is the best level made with my tileset I’ve seen. The level is pretty large, but it feels about two times times larger because of the brilliant level design. The weapon placement is a bit different than in most of the levels, it is only good.

Nobody knows it but I designed a background for layer 6 and 7, but I never released it. I thought that it would look little bit messy. I tried the background in Evilmike’s level (I hope you don’t go mad, comrade) and it fit nicely. But I’m still not sure for releasing the background. I think i will improve it someway and release then… maybe. I’m planning to make a single player episode with my tileset. That might be a good time.

Good work Evilmike! Continue making good levels!

P.S: If you (right you front of the monitor) are making a level with my tileset I’ll preciate it if you could tell me about it.[This review has been edited by Blade]

Mirrow’s tileset package is actually pretty good. Mirrow has spent lots of time with the pack, it can be seen easily. But, copying graphics is never good. The city tileset’s background was taken from Mez’s set. But it is understandable. Sets are hard to make (good ones especially). The music is good. They fit in the levels just fine.

Download recommendation from me. Understood? Download!

This really sux. How bad. Try again Sam.

Keep making levels. The more experience the better the levels.

Succes…

I’m impressed! “Alien Chemestry” is a very, very good Single Player level pack by one of the most active authors on J2O, EvilMike from Canada. The pack includes two levels and one bonus level, where you have to collect coins while falling and falling and…you guessed it.

The two SP levels use the Labrat (the bonus level also uses Labrat) and the Diamondus tilesets and the way they are used here is quite original and creative. The design is superb, both levels are jampacked with secrets, puzzles etc..

Another topic is the eyecandy: EvilMike put a lot of layer work into this. At first sight, it doesn’t seem too spectacular, but when you have a closer look, you’ll discover a lot of keen details.

The difficulty level is very high, but thats not a disadvantage. Au contraire! In my tests, i wasn’t even able to solve all puzzles (but i presume every passionate Jazzer will be able to do so without cheating and when he or she got the time :-).

For the background music, the author chose some nice pieces of tracked music, namely “Almagest” by Stefan Xenos and “space debris” by captain/image. Not super 133t in my opinion but still great demo style music! Good choice, EvilMike!

Conclusion: every Jazz2 fan SHOULD DOWNLOAD “Alien Chemestry” RiGHT NOW (if you didn’t do that already :). It’s quite a satisfying Single Player experience when you made it through all three levels :)

Whew! I didn’t expect something like this. The “Jazz WalkieTalkie” is an extremly useful, very handy Windows program, that lets you pre-define five text strings, that can be displayed as J2 chat lines in the game (while you have “Jazz WalkieTalkie” running in the background). I wish the author had put some more info about it in a readme file, for example (i really wonder if it’s completely selfmade, how it works, how its coded etc.). The user interface looks very tidy and clean, which was a good idea. No useless text thrash and stuff. Apart from that, it only takes 10 KB of diskspace (plus 325 KB of the needed DLL). Pretty cool!

Well, as you may have noticed, i like the “Jazz WalkieTalkie” a lot. Therefore i strongly RECOMMEND you to DOWNLOAD iT as SOON as POSSiBLE! Personally, i’m a very fast chatter but for other people, it may be very useful.[This review has been edited by Aiko]
