Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

This has got to be the best tileset of 2009 and possibly of all time. The theme is very original. Tileset is easy to use and there’s lots of tiles to be creative with. Three different palettes are included; Inferno, Toxic & Winter.

decent conversion :)

PurpleJazz: I was going to add a textured background, then realized that I couldn’t think of anything that would fit. I could’ve just added a generic JJ2 textured background, but I doubt anyone would have actually used it.

sonicnathan: Which tiles are missing? PM me if you have to. Also, the animations in JJ1 have as many frames as they do in the tileset – you can’t complain about missing tiles AND complain about them taking too much space. Well, you can, but it doesn’t make much sense. I guess that’s what quick reviews are for, though.

I agree with snz. =]

The best level by FS so far in my opinion. Awesome music choice. :D

well deserved for versatility

Amazing pack, I think 9 is good rate, some levels have bugs and you added them before testing carefully

A textured background would be nice.

Jgke is telling the truth I think.Hasn’t this program been the 3rd one that does the same job(finding connected files:tilesets,musics…)?

(Edit by me ~ sorry,i didnt see the source.Yeah thats better than others with source code )

Another solid, but not spectacular level by SJ.
SJ’s levels are always fun to play, and they manage to be ‘good’ or better in every single aspect almost always.
This symmetric one ain’t any different.
Just as SJ said, this plays well with at least 6 players. It isn’t a huge level, but the layout definitely makes it feel bigger.
Thumbs up.

I have to agree, they look pretty bad.

I am not really in the mood of writing a full review but i will point some aspects from the pack. The eyecandy is very good. There are no bugs or anything, gameplay was very good. The levels really make you feel that you are there and the enemy/picup placement is not frustrating. Music is very good and it fits the pack etc. My rating is 9.7 with DR

This is the epitome of a well-done collaboration by skillful tileset builders.
The tileset is — as some people like to say — easy to use, but hard to master, which is a common attribute of really well constructed tilesets.
This is a tileset you definitely want to download if you’re looking for a tileset without limitations.
Great job guys.

The main appeal for me here is the crazy theme, with the bg layers and some layer 4 eyecandy making the level feel busy, but not so much that they’re distracting or annoying; in particular, the moving white dots and scrolling bg. The layout seems very solid and playable, if not much variation.

Deinspirated Mayhem’s layout reminds me of a mountain. I think that level could’ve worked better with a nature tileset, but that’s just my opinion. Underworld is a small level probably best suited for duels. So nothing much to say really, just two decent levels. Keep it up!

Finally,it’s out! I think this is a tileset with very nice tiles. I very liked the office part and some tiles are also great. For me,it looks cool and it’s very useful. Winter looks the best for me. There are some tiles that I don’t like,but overall.. Good job,here you go with a download recommendation and a good rating.

DJazz’s “Lemon Field”. Set self-explanatorily in a small, paradisaic lemon field, complete with a cheery remix of the Diamondus theme. A small battle level reccommended by the author for Instagib and HLRS sub-gamemodes…

Lemon Field has good, yet rather unoriginal eyecandy. There’s a typical Diamondus bay in the background and two rows of trees in the closer layers. There are also waterfalls and leaves in the foreground, which is nice… but can be a bit annoying in a level of that size. If you have the f9 list open, or 2xf9 (list+stats) and a few players, your field of view becomes a bit obstructed. A -0.2 BOOnus for that. Other thing I don’t quite like (but I won’t rate that) is the night version’s palette. It doesn’t feel like a night on a lemon field, but thanks to the red ‘water’ it feels like a gory murder scene on a lemon field. IMO the author should’ve used New Diamondus 2 for that.

Gameplay-wise it isn’t anything brilliant. It’s only 30×15, which makes it almost single-screen, has some bouncers, toasters and seekers, and, obviously lemons. Lemons are what I actually like about this level. If you have enough, you can turn into a sugar-rushing titan and go on a roasting spree, especially in instagib. While I don’t know if that concept was what made DJazz place the lemons in this level, it’s pretty cool. A +0.1 bonus for that.

Concluding, “Lemon Fields” is an average level. It could’ve been a 6.1 from me if not the view-obstructing foreground. You get a 5.9. Keep on making levels and with practice you’ll be much better soon.

It’s been a while since I’ve reviewed a tileset, but with the new LMAT out, I can’t resist. Here it goes, the third installment of LMAT in.. like forever.

Theme: Original
The overall theme that this tileset achieves is a combination of a post-apocalyptic world and a trashed office space. There’s a lot to work with in this tileset, ranging from rocky mountainside trails to indoor chaos. There are plenty of transition tiles to do both in the same level, so no worries there. The three different palettes (Snow, Lava, Poison/Acid) all have their uses when it comes to making a single player pack, or a variety of multiplayer levels. If you’re really good, this theme and tileset can be used over and over with no levels looking the same.

Usability: Perfect
As I said, there’s plenty of transition tiles between the two main floor stuctures. There is a lot (and I mean a lot) of eyecandy to work with, ranging from lockers to vending machines (which coincidentally have my name on it…) and from destructable alarm bells to light beams. The set also offers a lot of variety when it comes to “layer-5 caves”. You can go with a natural, rocky background, or a pitch-black hole in the building, or computers and fencing. You name it, this set has got it! Well… not litterally, but you get the idea.

For all your singleplayer needs, there’s also a wide variety of desctructo blocks, lasers than can open and close (or blink, if you make an animation), and a nifty elevator animation (with which, I believe, this entire tileset started).

Atmosphere: Good
The eyecandy that you can make with this tileset knows little boundaries. As long as you’re a creative person, this tileset can make all your levels look different with the same tileset. You can go for space levels, post-nuclear battlefields, a computer graveyard, you name it. This tileset is very good for making SP levels, as you can easily adapt the tiles to fit your story and theme.

Overall: Plain to see awesome
This tileset has it. Like pretty much all other LMAT’s, this tileset is made BY the people, FOR the people. It has stuff we need to make levels. Too bad I wasn’t actively involved in this one (unlike the other two). Either way, this tileset is THA BOMB.

After playing these levels for a longer while, I’ve realized that they need a little time to get used into. I noticed that I underrated this pack a bit, since lots of effort was put into this pack and the eyecandy is far above the average, except for a few levels. Still there are some levels that could have used some better design etc. But GJ Faw!
