Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

All in all, a very nice level…especially for a first one.

Aiko, it seems your old review doesn’t entirely apply to this version, because the version I downloaded DOES include the Mez tileset. As for the mode it’s for, it’s written in the readme that it works best in multiplayer…

Hack2k, here are some tips for your future levels:
- use the other background layers (1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7) and put more decoration/eye-candy in a level.
-think long and hard about the amounts and types of weapons in your level. Finding the perfect balance can realy add to the fun of a level.
-Use tilesets that haven’t been used a million times already.
Good luck.

I fully agree, Fquist. Dont let ‘em mess up this coolish website called J2O!

“i dont see what i have done wrong, apart from send a few messages to people!”

You have sent more then 30 messages to various people, we call that spam.
You have rated perfectly fine levels with immature ratings like 1.0
You have rated your friend’s levels with 10s.
You have tried to make us delete annahilator’s account by spoofing him.
You have rated levels down for simple facts like “the zip is corrupt”.

Enough reasons?

uh, ok.

Whoever said I thought your other tileset was 10x worse?

“I don’t really like this that much, not because of it’s size, but because there was a lack of detail and pretty useless tiles.

That’s all I have to say.”

Iced, I’m still waiting for test levels by my five betatesters. I’ve waited 2 months for those levels, and I figured enough’s enough!

Another thing puzzles me. you give this level a 4.5, and my other tileset, witch I think that it is 10x worse than this tileset, a 5! WHY ICED, WHY?

and another thing: I am annoon. Happy Iced?

Ninja’s explanation is very good..the tilesets were created for a very specific purpose, and just don’t serve (at least in a way that makes sense, as far as I can see (:) as regular tilesets for this reason. But that doesn’t make it bad, on the contrary, it’s awesome. (:

“This level will be deleted tomorrow.
Mr plonker has low status, because he spammed j2o. “

i dont see what i have done wrong, apart from send a few messages to people!

Contains some very blocky letters to write the authors (and his clans) names and a few bad colored Wingdings symbols.
There are also some “structures”, that could eventually be useful when making a level. One them is probably a bed :-)
I don’t plan to visit this hotel, thanks (= No download recommendation). Sorry, i just can’t think of a level when looking at this “tileset”. Better include an example level next time :-)

Not much too say here. Very useless tileset containing 20 tiles, most of them are just blabla "font tiles" saying things like "Stuff is good" etc. Very funny. Duh!
Don’t waste your time downloading this. I guess it was meant as a test or something. Sorry (no offense to author!).

P.S.: There is no example level, but well…how could that look like? I have no idea.

i follow the other guys
i really think youre other lvl is better (or less worse) than this one.
the weapons are dotted round the screen in a very strange way, no eyecandy, very VERY basic…
im sorry but i cant recommend this to download.

This level will be deleted tomorrow.
Mr plonker has low status, because he spammed j2o.

Whow! Nice level! I just have one complaint… Some of the forground can be annoying, it sometimes gives you a suprise because you think it’s masked.

The “Annoon’s hotel” tileset includes a few undetailed tiles, no eye candy, a few things from the Wingding’s font.

I don’t like hotel tilesets, that much, I admit. But I’ll try not to be biased.

A few of the tiles in this set are interesting, but I really don’t find this a set worth using. And let me add another fact, ALWAYS INCLUDE AN EXAMPLE LEVEL! I feel tilesets are incomplete without one. Another thing, hotel tilesets are evil. Poor Mez01 has gotten so many hotel levels, so if you must make another stupid hotel, use that set, at least.

(I’m rambling. Evil.)

I don’t really like this that much, not because of it’s size, but because there was a lack of detail and pretty useless tiles.

Darkwasp (I’m 100% sure this is Annoon), learn to spend time adding a few eye candy and detail tiles, and PLEASE include an example level to a tileset like this.

That’s all I have to say.

Not much to add to Aiko’s review here.
There is so little eye candy I almost hate to look at this. The design is very linear and the tiles were used wrong..

Fellow jazzers, don’t download this. PLEASE. (no offense to the author)

A must have. The tileset is superb, the music(s) are excelent, and the layout is perfect, down to the last intricite detail. A Must Have!

P.S. Look out for a new Fury level with this level, and I’ll spoil it. it’s called “The Steel Pyramid of Fury”

Introduction to Inner Evil:

Inner Evil’s a great level made by iCeD, and the good concepts of the level cover up the visible flaws of this level.

Content: One level and a music file.

Unbiased Review:

Design/Content: 2.5/2.5

The level has three parts to it, if you look at it from top to bottom. The top of the level is welcoming, but also lets you fall quite easily, while the middle has the CTF bases, and the bottom is just your ordinary lava-filled bottom. The design really has no flaws, but a few things could have been changed.

Tile/Tile compatibility: 2.0/2.5

The tiles fit well together for the platforms, but wall texturing was done very strangely, in some walls. Still, it looked like some effort was made to make things look neat, which isn’t wrong.

Tile/Event Compatibility: 1.7/2.0

The level is half-dead, which doesn’t seem right for this tileset. On the other hand, different weapons were required to get certain weapons, which was good. To make this level have a little more life, the layers substituted.

Event/event compatibility: 1.0/1.0

Events in this level didn’t have to fit together to make this level any better. You could get around normally, and find everything you need. There are also some neat little secret areas you can get into, to make getting to another place take less time.

Layer use: 0.8/1.0

The way the layers were used made navigation around the level confusing in a way it shouldn’t be. Going through walls without wanting to or having a clue isn’t very hard to do, here. There’s also something interesting about this CTF level you should know, which can be really helpful, and isn’t listed in this section.

Game compatibility: 1.0/1.0

The level plays without any errors or access violations. The music selected for this level was half-decent, but that doesn’t count towards this rating at all.

Overall rating: 9.0/10.0

This level isn’t anything to pass up, at all. Its a great level, like any other great level, and has common flaws, like any other great level. You’ll have some fun in this CTF level, whether you like CTF or not.

Biased Review:

Replayability: 4.5/5.0

This level will always play for long, as long as more than one person is playing. This level should last a couple hours of play, at the maximum, but can’t really be trashed at all.

My opinion on this level: 4.8/5.0

I liked the design and the look of this level. I have played this level before, in one of iCeD’s servers, so I know that it does play well, and does suit me, though I’m not the biggest CTF fan.

My overall rating: 9.3/10.0*

I don’t like CTF as much as battle, because I’m not too good at it.

True rating: 9.15/10.0*

If the level is fairly replayable, and fairly good, then I rate it as a good level. Everything’s rated at its own standard; Levels as levels, packs as packs.

Summary:

The file is huge. It includes a music file, but it is still worth trying out for what it is. You should also look to this level’s design as a good example.

Interesting fact:

You can jump under the CTF bases to get the flags in this level, since the platforms are very thin in this level.

Lets clear up something first: as far as i know, “mrplonker” is former “hac2k”.
Now, i won’t make a long review for a level like this again. In short: the design is far below average (very monotonous), there is no eyecandy and the tile/event/weapon placement is just bad in my opinion.
But well, you submitted it, i, as a jazz2 fan, rated it. C’est la vie.

P.S.: The next level setting is missing/wrong also.
P.P.S: To all authors, please DO NOT include Epic tilesets in your ZiP files. That doesn’t make sense.

im sorry but this is crap.
although the level is nice detailed, it is quite irritating: shooting, warping, shooting, warping…
the whole warp puzzle is one big irritating thing, and for the rest only enemies to blast. i cant say this is a single player lvl. this lvl is nothing.
you should make puzzles and variety in your lvls

Pretty good level, but I have a few complaints.

1) Bottom right, there is a little passage above the little straw house thingy, that leads to the place known as “Nothing Town.”

2) Bottom left, the log that leads to the powerup, I think there should be a quit way out, like a oneway up on top, or a warp.

2) Too little springs.

3) The background layers aren’t too good. The vines don’t make for a good background, a bit annoying, and the other pieces of background layers just vanish after going to high.

But besides that, great level!
