Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

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]

Uh, is that just me or is that a double post?

I think u chould stick to making levels tazar.

Favorite level has been changed, it is now The Temple!

AAH! Memories! Don’t ask why, but my favorite level was “I Hate This Tileset. :P” My second favorite was “Shine-O-Riffic Land.” I really have no idea why. All of these levels were well thought out, but some levels used some overused tilesets. All of them had nice backgrounds and layouts. Overall, you did a good job on all of these levels, old to new. =)

Good but simple Prog
its very easy to use only it cant do
î ê that sort of txt

Nice level, the eye candy is very good, but I find a bit too much ammo with such a small level. Too many carrots too. Although it is easy to navigate and very fun. I recommend people to download this.

Nice level, f!re.
I didn’t really notice the carrotus tileset as overused, but that’s because I’m not really a collector(I only rate and download sertain levels, like my enemies levels. he he j/k)
I really don’t have much to say, because I really didn’t pay much attention to this really cool level.
There’s an idea stuck in my skull that this treasure hunt level was gotten from the idea I had. But forget that &
Download this now!!!!!

I don’t like the level at all. Way Too many enemies are at the same time. Well, at least it gave me a challenge. And after that, Wromg next level setting!

This deserves a 3.5 from me and no d/l recomendation.

P.S. Those 2 1ups were easy to get.

Very nice set. It’s quite orriginal compared to most of the sets that borrow tiles from JJ1, and it’s very orriginal.

Unfortunately, very few of the tiles are actually orriginal. The set includes tiles from or that closely mimic (JJ1):

~The glowing walls in tubelectric
~The tubes / pipes and waterfalls from Dreampipes,
~Most of the Crystal ground from Either that one level with the rocket rats, or Chrysallis
~A lot of metal stuff from Orbitus.
~Fans from Fanolith
~Other varies tiles somehow related to Jazz 1….

Don’t get me wrong here, I’m not saying the set is just another jazz 1 set. It’s a set that’s not easy to tell that it has any holds in JJ1 unless you’ve pplayed JJ1 alot and are familiar with the levels.

Very nice setup and tile editation allows for high detail abilities, and the set is not too dificult to make levels with (the crystal ground can be quite tricky)

Nice example level. It shows what can really be done with the set.

I think labrat music would work a lot better than the music included with the set (rocket.xm) which I found quite boring.

Overall, I give it a 8.
Why? IT has all the essential aspects needed for a quality Jazz 2 level, very nice looking. Nice aspects from JJ1.

However, It’s to much of a copy from JJ1 to get a higher rating than 8 (imo)

Good Job Agama! I look forward to seeing more from you.

Funk-o-rific Job Agama!

I was very suprised when I first opened up this set in JCS. Not only does it maintain the Cartooneyness that Jazz Jackrabbit demands, It also looks REALLY good.

It’s fairly easy to work with, but difficult enough to make level making enjoyable.

Pros:
- Very nicely done Cartoony aspect
- Enough variations in tiles to make a quality Level
- Fairly easy to work with
- Very original (although a few tiles are enhanced versions of JJ1 sets)
- Personal favorite

Cons:
- Strange layer 8 Background (the white is realy contrasted)
- Not many options for background and foreground layers except two different types of clouds
- Water (tileset blocks) is very ugly looking

But other than that, I think it is one of the best tilesets around =)

I think it easily earns 9.5

This is first time I have to use brains when playing Jazz2. You could run through every original JJ2 level. But you can’t run in this pack (what’s fun in running the levels through anyway?). The pack took me about half an hour to complete. These 3 levels are amazing work. Nice 20*1000 bonus level by the way :) . The eyecandy was unbelievable. The music was good. The difficulty level was just fine, I got killed several times. It was refreshing. Why? Because of the easiness of other levels.

Well done, Evilmike. Every single player level is precious. They are kind of rare nowadays. (well, good ones are)[This review has been edited by Blade]

What did you say, BD? Thinking? Then it isn’t a good levelpack for me… Kidding. This pack definetly rocks. It’s soooooooooo hard, but I completed it after 3 hours (yes, really!). The design is superrrrrrrrrrrrrrr and the events placement is great, only maybe a bit too much enemy’s. I got to turn of the PC so I can’t write more. I’ll give this the average rating of this moment.

The first I thought: 7.5
Setback: Used tiles from other tilesets. -1.0
Rating: 6.5

The tileset looks pretty slick :). As the Example level shows, you can use it in great ways. As EvilMike said, it’s not really a forest. More soem kind of a country filled with trees and Stones. I’m not good at rating tilesets so my review is not longer than this. Eat this 6.5
