Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

A good pack I suppose, has some ups and downs. Despite the fact that it’s easy, it has some good points and plenty of originality. You made good use of the Colonius set, even though it isn’t one of my favorite tilesets. You did a nice job eye-candy wise. (gotta love the waterfall effect in the second level).

This is a good pack and should be downloaded for some fun.
(note to level creators If you’re going to have a pack that should be played in order, make it clear which level comes first, I ended up playing ASsurf first.)[This review has been edited by Genotoxin aka iCeD]

(I changed it to 1.24)
Hmm, not a bad level/tileset, but not really a good one either. It has plenty of colorful blocks, a hotel-like theme (don’t get me started on how much I hate hotels), and a dull name (that won’t affect the rating.)
Some of the tiles in the tileset were handy, but overall I would have difficulty using it.

This is above the average I guess, you might want to download it.

In truth, I really don’t like this much. It has very very little eye candy (if any at all?), and it was kinda small. To add to it, it has a pretty “slapped together” feel to the weapon placement which I don’t like at all. The whole design is circular, yes, but it’s circular is a very linear way which takes away from it.

Also, it’s TSF (bad idea when it has no TSF-only stuff!)

Overall I don’t recommend a download, this is a pretty short review, sorry.

Wow, very nice pack. Some of the levels were pretty fun (having played them online just a minute ago).. the music files fit well, even though only one was original. Some of the levels were better than others, one of the primary reasons this pack got it’s rating. Levels like StarLight Speedway were pretty cool, but other levels like Puzzle of the Weird (shudder) only succeeded in angering me. You could have improved the eye candy in some of the levels, but I suppose it was okay.
One of the high points of these levels: Originality. (I love the elevator effect in the final race. :-) Some of the originality was buggy though, take the Rising Air level for instance.

Oh well, this is definitely a good pack and worth a download. (I was undecided between 7 and 7.5)

Well, this pack had its great ups and its very low downs. That last level with the elevators, that was great. But in contrast to it, that funky Mez02 level, that was just horrible, bugs everywhere.

But for sheer volume and good stuff, I think its a 7.

Whoa, when I first looked at this set, I thought it’d be way too small for anything meaningful.

Then I fired up the example level.

This set may look small, but there’s plenty of scenery to make a nice level. Or two or three nice levels, none of which have to look the same.

I highly recomend this.

I was wondering when someone would make a Jazz 2 skin for WinAmp. I’ve seen a couple besides this, but they are nothing to write home about.

This is a pretty standard image-style skin, but it’s very nice non-the-less. There is a slight graphical error on the playlist title bar, but nothing to distracting.

Overall, it’s worth a download if you like flipping around the skins on WinAmp (like me).

A solid attempt Raiden.

Oh, and I forgot, but Derby also tested it. ;). Sorry Derby.

Oh yeah.. and Talec LP, too. Sorry! (I keep forgetting who tested it!)

-Edit: I have noticed several overlooked bugs.. most importantly that one of the warps in Puzzle of the Wierd does not advance the lap counter. I will release a patch soon… with a few fixes and improvements. This will not be a second release… I will make that later with improvements to all levels (and you might even get to see four more laps in “A Mess of Tubes” ;) – but that’s only if I get around to it.). Expect the patch in a week or so and the update in a few months.

WHAT THE (HECK)!

That was one heck of a freaky video, and I thought you were older than me. But boy that was funny heh!

I cannot believe people actually couldn’t beat this lol. It is pretty easy to beat if you save 600 times. The key to winning this is saving and experimenting. But this was soooooo cool. It took me 3 days to beat I know no one will be able to read this though.This level was just so cool, it was almost better than Shellions Extreme Revenge. I’m talking about Tomb Rabbit. The puzzles were sorta easy. The music rocked, though how come there wasn’t music on every level. And yes I beat the level. I cheated sometimes because I forgot I couldn’t save in the Central Cave. But I didn’t fully cheat like use JJ God though this level deserves a —.

Um this doesn’t work for Windows Media Player 7 I thought it did. Because WMP has a skins directory. Or maybe it does. What’s the name of this skin?

Hah, i get to review first :p

I’ll only rate SP, tilesets and lvls from new artists from now on, and i won’t be on the net, but i’m willing to make exceptions (especially with tubelectric, MAN i love that set!)

Ahem…OK, since this is your 2nd level, Assassin, i’ll be gentle. This list will say enough :)

Strong points:
- It’s circular (i love circular levels, don’t you?)

Minor points:
- It’s TSF, not everyone has it.
- Almost no eye candy
- Layer 3 covers not enough (remember, also cover the edges!)
- Music (metal.mod) doesn’t fit (that music is included with TSF, thank God)

- The tunnel with the floor and ceiling springs is too smal, the level however is big enough for my likes…
- The weapons are all in the same place.
- Some tiles aren’t used properly

Conclusion: Not a download recommendation, but since it’s a newbie level, i’m willing to drop minor point 1 to 4. It’s become a 5.5

OK, the critic has arrived! :P

OK, it’s a very conversion of the Technoir set (one of my favs in JJ2), altough some tiles are missing, others are made the wrong way, bla bla bla…But it’s good enough to make a decent level with it. :) I didn’t rate the example, because the version of WinZip that i have cuts names short. You can guess the result ;)

Conclusion: Good JJ1 tilesets are rare, especially of the first…18 planets. :) Worth a 7 at first, boosted to 7.2

This took me 15 mins because of the deadly walls. :) It is the rare single-player lvl, but more of them seem to be coming out these days. I found the ratings of the puzzle should have been placed in the ReadMe, so there is more of a reason to read it.

Plus, I’ve had this tileset for a year. ;) Not too new to me, just blue blocks, a little shooting star thingie, and some other assorted things. IMO, tileset choice could be a bit better. This is a good, solid download that is better than average. You decide if you wanna download this or not. :)

Cool! I really like this pack! It includes two levels with nice alliterations in their names AND it uses the underused but great tileset called “Colon”.
The design is creative and original (for example, the waterfalls in the second level) and the eyecandy is pretty good.
The only thing i’ll critizize is the shortness of the levels. If you needed only 5 minutes to get through them, you were already slow :-)
The music in “Sewer Surfing” doesn’t fit but thats a minor problem i guess.

All in all, i recommend to DOWNLOAD THiS LiTTLE PACK. It’s five minutes of Single Player fun and maybe an inspiration for your personal future level creations (hint, hint! :-).

“MasterBlasters” (isn’t that another dull name?) is a very colourful tileset including a pretty large example level.

The set has about 350 tiles containing things like basic structures (walls, blocks, arrows, several obstacles), the usual letter tiles (as seen before in lots of other tilesets), some details like a TV, a PC or a toilet and some nice animations. There also is a weird 3D background, which i don’t like too much. Same with the colours, they are too bright and somehow it seems to me the author only wanted to use 16 colours or something. The masking is appropiate.

As for the example level, i’m not amused: it’s a hotel, it has pinball events, the design is kinda confusing and the event and tile placement could be improved in my opinion. A background music is missing.

Overall, tileset collectors and hotel lovers will definitely like this. The average J2 fan may also want to have a look at it. I’m not sure (undecided between 5.5 and 6).[This review has been edited by Aiko]

Not a bad WinAmp skin from a fellow german Jazzer (Moin Raiden! :-). But actually i really don’t have much too say about it. People who collect those skins might want to download it!? Yeah, probably!

He changed it. (Or someone else did)

It says 1.24 to me.

WHATTA (…) IT’S TSF!
QUIT MAKING TSF SETS!
AND DON’T PUT 1.23 IN THAT BOX!
