Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Yes, I feel that carrots would make the level too campy.

No carrots?

One complaint I have is the background is seriously messed up.
Why would any distant, static object ever move faster than something closer? Not only does this break the laws of perspective, it looks ridiculous enough that it is distracting.

Pretty good level with an awesome puzzle, sometimes it’s a bit hard to follow the way to the end. The eyecandy is mostly from layer 4 so it’s good enough. But there could be more.

i find it awesome’!

This level was entertaining to play through and explore.

Gameplay: 8/10
This level may not be incredibly ground breaking or challenging, but I found it fun to play through. The level consists of a large number of rectangular rooms, which may seem like it would lend itself to inflexible, bland gameplay, but this is not the case. The rooms connect in various different ways, and you often end up wandering in the alleys between the rooms. The main mechanic of this level involves changing the water level, and the path feels nicely squiggly. You end up going back into the same rooms occasionally, once with water and once without, which feels like a very efficient use of level space. Also, there are several “secrets,” which can be found by exploring alternate routes. The overall gameplay felt very casual and relaxing to explore the level. There were a couple small imperfections in the gameplay. For example, there are some downward suckers to the right of a save point, and it’s easy to miss the save point and fall in. Then, there’s no way to go back and get the save point. The end also involve a bit too much “find the crate” type gameplay. But overall, I thought the gameplay was well done, and fun.

Eyecandy: 8/10
The eyecandy was also pretty well done. The tileset fit well with the theme of “breathing the filth” and there was some kind of green, toxic snowfall. The level looked surprisingly natural and organic, despite the rectangular rooms. My only complaint is that it could be a little hard to tell apart the different types of destruct scenery underwater, but this didn’t significantly harm gameplay or the aesthetic of the level.

Overall, 8/10

If you have some time, I would recommend downloading and exploring this level.

Another Loon`s level. This time it`s DOM one, nice.

Looks okay, but there are too many spots where I feel like EC is more “JCS” than “nature”.. in overall, it`s a bit too spammy. Also, notice that players will enjoy the landscape instead of focusing on game (except in low detail mode, where you can see white background.. cool) , which sometimes is more important :P

Gameplay.. well, it`s all about jumping/using springs.. There could be some places where you don`t need to use spring to reach another platform. It is good, though.

There is nothing to say about originality, since I didn`t notice anything original. Jumping, capturing CPs, camping. That`s all.
Deserves 8.2 and DR, for sure.

cool level

I like these levels. They are so fun to play,they have great eyecandy and good gameplay.

I had the honour of betatesting this one.

Gameplay

This level contains unique paths, the ways to get somewhere are mostly different than normal. If you want to get to the bottom of the level, it is way quicker to use the warp on the top, than to fall down. The warps add to that feature. When first encoutering them I was confused but if one plays this level for some minutes they will get used to it. The left side of the level has a nice flow and is also a good battle area, therefore I met most enemies in that area, while testing. The right side of the level isn’t as good as the left side in my opinion. The upper right side is just a huge empty space. Below that is an area that can only be left through tunnels to the downside or a copter to the upside. The tunnels, however, meet the path of the copter after a short while, which means the right side can only be entered through the top of the level, while the left side is connected with not only the bottom of the level, but also with several warps. Yes, the left part of the level is bigger, but the right part could have been connected better to the rest of the level. The top of the level is a huge building with a carrot on top. It has been built nicely and it is possible to have a ‘king of the hill’ battle over here, meaning the one taking the top could have an advantage, which adds to the quality of battles fought in this level.

Eyecandy

The colours of this tileset are quite the same. Still you managed to add some more colour by adding a lot of trees and plants. Also the night level has a nice red glow behind the buildings on the background. When jumping in the bottom of the level, the buildings look a bit weird, being so long and the same everywhere. Maybe you could have added another layer of buildings to the background.

Originality

As I mentioned before, this level contains unique pathways, which is mostly what this level is about. If someone uses the paths to his advantage, he is on his way to making a lot of kills in this level by beating his enemies with speed and traps. Clearly the originality of this level is in the layout, the layer 4 eyecandy is of high quality and the background is allright.

i’m in love <333 :D

Don’t expect too much from this review, I’m not in the mood to write anythig too detailed and I usually rate my levels on a simple principle ol like/dislike.

This one is most definitely a like. So much so, I think we could/should be seeing a 2nd battle level in a row to win the nomination for featured download of the fortnight.

FS showed us the level the other day and I had a helluva time.
This review will most definitely be biased as I was, for a time at least, leading the game which means I must have enjoyed myself:)

Anyway, I love the warp system and the spring system which basically adds to a multifaceted system of transport in this suburbian warfare zone. It gives one options, and in my opinion makes the level great.

Another thing which I like, is the flow of the level. Sure it isn’t as open as say, JE (I know JE is ctf and I shouldn’t be mixing apples and oranges, but like I said, don’t expect too much from me) but it isn’t closed up either. You have a level with enough space, with just the right amount of obstacles (poor phrasing) on the one hand, and an abundance of crazy jj2 speed. JJ2 is about speed and this level delivers. it’s cray fun to play in. I’ve always liked FS’s battle levels (or the one I remember anyway, being the 1st featured battle level download) and I seem to have always done well on them in open games (which are to me at least, the most fun, till this day) and I always loved, how the levels had a nice combination of freedom of movement, but not too much so. I don’t know whether this is reffered to as flow, I’ve always thought of it as such and for me the flow of the level is more or less everything.

Are there any camp spots? Well if you’re urbs, there are. For example at the RF pu. God I love being there and hearing the explosions of my powered up RF’s. Magice pure magic, and I know that I dont have FS to thank for those sweet sweet sounds, I will thank him for them nonetheless.

The level has great weapon placement and I love the fact pu’s are easily reachable (other than pu4 which is a bit secluded, but which I approve of anyway).

I saw snz use jazz on this level and I have to say it looked like a good idea. I remember him hitting me with powered up bouncies whilst hovering above my Spaztic avatar – it was death from the skies my friends.
I think I have used all 3 of the powerups quite a lot, but would add here that I tried to intentionally not use seekers, because the game was SO fun without them. I just enjoyed firing those RF’s around the place and delving blows from the heavens above to the rabbit-infested platforms beneath me. I felt not like a warrior, but instead like a poet; t’was pure beauty my friends, oh that you could see it!

Using gun 2 and being above your enemies on this map is insanely fun, in spite of the fact that your enemies will most likely be finished of by a clever FS, snz or sj with accurate bursts of seeks and rf’s. But who cares?! I had my fun.

Now I didn’t quite follow the discussion between FS and SJ, but I think eye candy came up? Well like I said, I’m not one to talk about eye candy, but this level seems to use the tileset brilliantly.
It’s very imporatant that the tilest and the level somehow come together and this really beautiful and underused tileset was chose brilliantly by FS.

Another brilliant level from a truly brilliant leveldesigner! All hail!

Nay – all download!

Why 10? Well because I know a lot of people will pick and poke and just be far too critical of FS’s creation, so I thought why not give him a boost. And that is not to say it got a 10 out of pity mind you! I just have a different philosophy as opposed to some other reviewers around here.

I had fun.More fun on this level playing with a spectacular bunch of people than I’ve had on any ladder since becoming a bit more active. And you can’t buy that. It was FS’s gift to me and to all of us.

EDIT: oh and, I have no idea which one of those I played. Definitely not the blue-ish one. I prefer to do my roasting by day thank you very much!

Well, long time ago I reviewed anything, lets see.

This isn’t the final level? You are supposed to upload finished things only to J2O. If you want people to have suggestions then you should betatests your level first.

Gameplay

The flow of this level is allright, although it is a lot of jumping. I don’t really get the feeling of playing myself, I feel like the level itself gets me from place by place. This is because there are a lot of springs at places where players mostly land or bump against the wall. Maybe you should change the platforms a bit so that people can get somewhere without using springs.

Eyecandy

The background looks nice and very colourfull it also fits with layer 4. I also like the cave-ish background, but I think it might look better if it was a bit lower on the sides. There is a problem with your background too, it moves too fast. The cavewall seems to be quite some distance away and the mountains with the falls even more ofcource, but still they move a lot when you move your rabbit, causing a unrealistic event. Maybe you also should have put some more tiles in the foreground, because I find it rather empty, all trees I encounter are in the background.

Originality

You found an original way to capture point Westwood and Point Eastwood. Though, I don’t think this will be adding to the gameplay. People can jump in the holes in turns. Someone could camp there and hurt people, but they will stil have 1 or 2 hearts and if you are playing with more than 4 people, I expect that domination points will be captured too many times a game. Inthe background you had some original things, like overlapping rocks, but there is few originality in the gameplay. If you want to improve your originalty, look for ways to replace springs, it will also improve the gameplay of your level.

I noticed this was rated below 8 while I want it to be rated as low 9

Nice. Maybe you should use some gems in the ground for eyecandy. Check the last row in the tileset.

Think I’ll stick with Chipset.

next time upload a tileset, too.

:D This level has just one problem… I can’t imagine that how I’ll collect coins when I’m playing CTF…But not bad.

huh… First i rated your level with a 5… I tought this is an other one :D

nice work man nice work ;)
