Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Weird Lvl`s
Very Small
Layout Design Is bad
eyecandy poor
Download? No Sorry

SPLASH is right:

Out of 20 lvls:

Lvls under a 6: 16
Lvls between 6 and 7: 1 (Blackdeath)
Lvls between 7 and 8: 2 (SPLASH and Tazar)
Lvls between 8 and 9: nothing
Lvls between 9 and 10: 1 (Agama)

two conclusions:
“The newbies have discovered the excistence of j2o”
“People don’t take time to build a lvl and make it perfect”

This is just a small messages, I don’t rate 1P lvls cos I don’t have the expierence of building one. (I don’t like building them)

Just see it as fun.

• The car looks ripped
• The textured background doesn’t work well in 8 bit
• But it seems like that you can make pretty good levels with it if you put some effort in it
• To much useless tiles like aiko said.

Further I agree with aiko..

yeah didnt put in a next lvl setting…cos there isnt a end in the lvl :)

Whoo. Another level from Gargoyle. Are this old levels from you, or do you make a new level every day?

Anyway, this level is… still weird. The eyecandy is average. Lotsa dead ends, and too much ammo, IMO. The idea is not bad, but a spiral has one start and one end, and this level has too much ends. I like the leafs in the diamondus tileset, but you really overused them. I remember the Spiral v1.0… Well, this level is better. But not enough good changes. Also i don’t like levels who are just copied from the normal battle level, but with CTF bases. They are not original and I don’t like them. Anyway, don’t go off-topic. The level. It has some one-way tiles, so you can get stuck easy. Also, the music selection is bad. jiust use the normal Diamondus music.Congratilations, Gargoyle, you got my longest review ever. Use it :)

This can get a 5.0 for the idea. You might want to download this, if you like new ideas.

CHANGE: It’s not a REAL new idea, it’s just v2.02 of a new idea ;)[This review has been edited by Fl@$h aka BlewMeUp]

“Alien Testlab” is a brand-new tileset having about 330 nice-looking tiles. There are some basic level building structures like walls, “pavement” and the like. Spikes and some background tiles are also useful. Unfortunately the whole look of the tileset is not really what i personally would term “cool” (as in “Whew! That rocks!”). Most of the tiles look boring somehow, i don’t know…maybe it’s the colours. Plus, as far as i can see, there is no real concept behind the set (well, the Alien thingy, of course). By the way, did you ever see a green Ferrari Testarossa??? (and how does this car fit into the tileset?).

Splash also included a small example level where he tries to show us some advantages of his tileset. However, the next level setting is wrong :-)

Well, to sum it up: the main idea behind this tileset doesn’t become clear enough and there are too many “useless tiles” (you know what i mean) like Jazz pictures, website advertisements and so on.
However, it’s DEFINITELY WORTH A LOOK![This review has been edited by Aiko]

This is a tileset with:

~Some basic “platform” tiles
~Some cool animations
~Some cool pictures for eyecandy
~2 Weird copied textured backgrounds

I really like that fast car with jazz… It gives me what wimster promised but not did :)

I’ll throw a 7.5 to you. Catch it.
>Oh yeah, Admins, tahnx for the J2O Addict rank :)[This review has been edited by Fl@$h aka BlewMeUp]

Aha. A level pack (boring name btw) including three levels (that use the following tilesets: Tube Electric, Carrottus and Psych).
Single player start positions are not included. Very annoying! Same with the music (for example, the first level uses FC’s famous “Second Reality” track afaik, which is an awesome song but it just don’t fit for this level…you should better use the default music files if you use Epic tilesets…that would also save web- and diskspace!).
The design and eyecandy of all three levels is average, nothing special.
On a side note, it should say “Choose a hat” instead of “Choose a heat” in level 3 :-)))

Conclusion: not bad, but not the levelpack-of-the-year either :-) Download or not? I have no idea!

P.S.:
The good point in this pack is that “blaster” used the Psych tileset (very underused in my opinion).[This review has been edited by Aiko]

“BattleX” is a VERY dull (kinda obtrusive already) “Battle1” clone that features a massive lack of foreground eyecandy and original ideas. That’s about it. (A pity that J2O has to waste webspace hosting this.)
Oh yeah, another advise: please start all your levels FROM SCRATCH instead of editing given levels. Actually i should not rate this because it’s a clone…well anyways. It gets what it deserves :-)

I don’t have much to add to my dutch colleagues. The author of this level definitely tried to put some eyecandy and to build a original level. In part, he succeeded: some of the layer work looks very nice, then again there are other areas that may confuse the player. I even found some major bad tile placement (chatroom!). The design is so-so because there are just too many dead-ends that really annoy me. A good, classic battle level needs a circular design.
Personally, i also find the level a tad too large (about 140*60 tiles) and roomy (for a decent battle). The “dragonsfunk” background music is very good, but the regular “Jungle” would’ve saved disk- and webspace here.
Well, overall i think it’s an “okay level”. Collectors or fans of the “Jungle” tileset may want to download.[This review has been edited by Aiko]

hmm………strange levels…but oke.

~it’s kinda weird, cuz the background going very slow but the leafs (?) are going very fast:S
~The levels likes a maze! it’s very difficult to find the way to the other base.
~and a strange weapon collection.
~eyecandy is not very good…..but, not bad.
~and why didn’t you make a new level for the CTF? Now it’s the same as the battle

5 points…..and no download recommendation from me. sorry

Visit the cool messagebord JCF.

Wow! As everyone else already said, Agama’s “Heaven” is definitely the best czechian tileset of all times :-)

It includes more than 600(!) incredibly beautiful tiles showing all kinds of cool stuff like flamingos, flowers, clouds for the background, some funky animations and a lot more. Not to forget all basic elements the passionate level builder needs: walls, bridges, vines, diagonal structures (very important!). The whole look of the set is awesome: very clear and detailed.

The author also built a “small” example level, which is…really stunning as well! You have to solve some key puzzles that perfectly use the trigger events. The “vision” background tune doesn’t fit perfect but it’s a great old chiptune classic and therefore still a good choice :-)

The readme file (that’s not plain text format, sorry) and the included image “easter.gif” confused me a little…but well, that won’t affect my rating (i was very, very undecided between 8.5 and 9 here).

Of course, this is A TOP PRiORiTY DOWNLOAD recommended to EVERY Jazz Jackrabbit 2 fan!!! Don’t waste more time. Step into this “heaven” and load the JCS! :-)

ok, but the level isn’t a temple too, is it?

yeah, nice tileset.

A cool tileset. It’s a real rabbit tileset ;) Good tiles voor a level.

The level is a good show-level. good eyecandy, nice layout and funny texts (is that tha right word?).
I like it.

a 7.5 from me.

~JøJø aka ÍpÐøpé

I said myself it was a sucky tileset, and its not called “Zybug’s Temple”, the level is!

Nice tileset!
Many variations.

First at all: Zieg, there’s always eyecandy!(you make the same mistake as me)

The tileset:
~it’s not a temple tileset.
~very bad tiles.
~there aren’t good tiles for a background or something.
Very BAD! :(

The level:
~Bad eyecandy.
~it isn’t like a temple.
~Bad background
~etc.
~etc.
~etc.
~etc.

All those rookie-levels! everybody think they can make levels. But it’s not so easy!

Here you have 1.5 point from me. no download recommendation from me.
