Wow! This german-dutch co-production really kicks ass! By the way, let me mention this right at the beginning…“Mirrows Tileset Pack” is a very good example of how a tileset and a level designer can work together.

However, back to the topic: the pack consists of three brand new tileset by mirrow: “Jungle-Danger” (240 tiles), “new city” (about 480 tiles, there seem to be two versions included for some reason) and “smallcastle” (480 tiles). All three look very good but of course, i do have a favourite: the blue-brown look and oil-painting like background graphics of “smallcastle” impressed me, somehow. Basic structures like walls, spikes, vines, signs and the like can be found in all three tilesets. Not to forget all the animations, background objects etc.. Its just too much to describe it here.

Furthermore, each tileset has an example level made by our dutch friend BlackDeath aka Fear. It’s single player levels and they are jampacked with trigger crates, little puzzles, good looking eyecandy. Of course, it’s still “example levels” instead of real, long single player maps. The MCE’s in the “Small Castle” level were quite annoying for example.
The two background music tunes chosen by BlackDeath, “The Digital Dawn” by Sorath and “Dead lock” by Elwood are of outstanding tracked quality and fit good for those levels.

All in all, i can’t say much except THiS iS A MUST HAVE for every J2 fan. I really hope to see some nice levels using one of those tilesets in the future :-)

P.S.:
I admit, i am already biased ‘cause i kinda know my fellow german jazzer mirrow for some time but BlackDeath, i don’t know if it’s idea if you rate this pack, too :-)

Stunts is a critical person isnt he or it :)?

And pre, promises are only promises, this level does look like a battle 1 clone or an edited version of it.

Hmm I guess I dont have much to add to the other reviewers exept for the fact that some people take this place to seriously.

Some people are good at making levels and some arent and they will all not know until they have posted their levels here and found out the rating.

Think about that everyone…[This review has been edited by BlackDeath]

Fire allready knew my rating. But here it is for other people, who didn’t know:

The lvl used the Jazz 1: NeW’s Mayhem tileset made by Haze Hackrabbit and is a very underused tileset. The tileset is a combination of Jazz 1: Decksta, Jazz 1: Industrial and Jazz 1: Muckamo. The Jazz 1 tileset lack of good backgrounds and the author did a great job by making a very new background: A city sunken in toxic waste.
The gameplay itself could use a little tweak but overall it’s ok.
The music fits the lvl not so well (the version I played used a musicfile from Jazz3D).
If u’re a real 1P fanatic who’s sick of all those standard lvls like castle and diamondus: Download this and have fun.

Allright since I made the example levels I will base my rating solely on the tilesets and the readme file included.

The tilesets look good, easy to use, good eyecandy, good masking…

Mirrow outdid himself once again.

A Download recommendation from me…

>The “very original” sequel to Mountain is called Mountain Trip (I guess it’s a sequel), anyways here’s the review:
The is tileset is slightly better than Mountain. It has the things to build a fresh lvl, except, still, it hasn
t got the layer use. Some plain air and stripes as rain isn’t enuf.
But if u’re not very confident with JCS I advise u to use this one, cos it lacks of all the possibilties JCS offers and is there for (too) simple.
For the advanced builder: Look for something more challenging than is, but if u really wanna build with it u can download it, who’ll stop u?[This review has been edited by $TÛNT$]

It’s far too standard. Just some plain things to walk… Not very much thought about things to “decorate” the lvl with, like hanging vines, rubble or something else. The tileset doesn’t give the user the abilty to use different layers.
But hey it’s Disguise a 7 should be minimun, most people will think. Well not for me.
A 6, nutting more nutting less…

Everyone should stop posting personal attacks. If they don’t, I will ban some of you.

Don’t upload someone else’s levels under your name, but rather create an account with his name.

This gets an 8 for me!It really rocked!Unfortunatly though I did not have some of the music files because i have 1.22 version of jj2.But that did not really matter to me.Like Aiko said “About 15 min. of pure single player fun“I think you should do more like this in the future tazar.

DOWNLOAD THIS!!!!!

Ok i am back to edit it.I now have 1.23 so i can play the music.And ya know?the funny thing is,It doesn’t rock anymore.IT RULEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!

(i am also changing the rating he used perfect music on each one.)[This review has been edited by Zieg]
