Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Yet another Tubelectric remake…people should remix some more songs, for instance, I’ve not heard a remix of any JJ2 songs for quite a while…Nevertheless, here’s the review.

I like the introduction to the song. It builds up to 1:05, starting off with percussion, and eventually the bass comes in instead of jumping straight into the song. Eventually, you hit pattern 11 (1:05) and the song decends into a dark-electro style, which I also liked.

I also like how the song feels as if you’re making up as you’re going along, yet it still manages to a have some sort of structure (even if it is just a basic start, middle, ending structure (if that made any sense)). Also, another good thing is that all the samples are in tune with each other, and there aren’t really any problems with them (some effects would be nice though).

The best thing about this piece is that it isn’t a crummy remake of Tubelectric. Most of the beats and the melodies have been modified or made in the module, instead of being taken from the actual piece and had nothing changed about it.

However, there are a couple of flaws. Firstly, I dislike the ending. I felt that it was a bit over the top, and some samples felt a bit out of tune when they didn’t need to be. Next, I don’t like the way the introduction keeps breaking down at first, I thought it just slowed the song down a bit towards 1:05.

FINAL RATING: 6.9
DOWNLOAD?: Yes, this is certainly in the upper half of J2O remakes, and considering that I am a bit harsh on music ratings, that is a pretty solid rating. I would give this a go. This also makes a good song for perhaps a spooky or a storm level.

I don’t really see the point in any of these pictures at all. After looking at all the of the pictures, I found myself shaking my head and wondering why i ever hit the download button. The only one I found a little funny was the one with the turtle and the Banana. i don’t even see a use. You could use these in a web page, but I don’t think anyone would put any thought into it. Overall, I give this a 2 because I did get a smile once or twice, but It’s hardly worth a download.

If this were uploaded on April the 1st, this wold get a 10.

Eyecandey
The author made a little room for the MP. (your trapped) He then took some tiles, held down the mouse button and dragged it around the screen. There you go! Oh and there’s a layer 8. Don’t know what else to say.
1/10
Gameplay
Your stuck in a little room with no room to fight. If you cheat to get out, you can have fun trying to find a safe way through the jumble of tiles.

DR? As much as I bash, you have to download this because it’s so bad, you will laugh at it. Download, LOL, then delete.

While I do love the concepts of boss levels, this one just fails.

Eyecandey
The backgrounds are all the same, using un-animated tiles and lame brick blocks. The arena are pathetic, consisting of using the same block over again to made tiny arenas. It’s boring and everything is floating.
1/10
Gameplay
All you do is fight bosses. that’s it. The arenas pose no challenge and it’s boring. Not only that, but you missed 3 of the working bosses. (Bolly, queen, rocket turtle and Xmas billy) The gameplay is boring and has no re-play.

NANANANANAN BAD LEVEL!

Did you even test this level?

Eyecandey
I want to know what you were smoking when you made this. Background has tilebugs, everything else has tilebugs. Very few tiles connect properly. No lyaer 5-7 or 1-3. Everything is flosting in mid air and it looks like the author just took random tiles and called it a level. Very poor.
1/10
Gameplay
Kill enemies, run right, drop down, fight a boss. BTW the boss arena is horrible as you have to have fun figuring out what’s masked and what’s not.

Enemy Placement
All there is are some crabs, and fat chicks. They barley pose a threat.

Pickups
Very little. Little ammo on the trains and a shield. some things you can’t get to. Carrot crate. No food or gems. BAD

I only downloaded this level to see how fast i could complete it. (Record is 5 seconds)

Trust me when I say, you should be the last person doing a tutorial level.

Eyecandey
More like an Eyesore. A little layer 3 is used at the beginning but it makes no sense. (Looks ugly. It’s just blocks) Background is just blocks which look bad. the platforms have tilebugs, bad animations, empty level. Next topic.

Gameplay
Fall down, run across some blinking platforms, if you fall, drop down and jump back up. Eather way, you go to a ledge and your done! You can fall of the level as well. that was fun right?

Hmmmm, level is not bad, but he has some bugs you know…So, catch your Lucky 7!

Great tileset! Gj

Download? YES!

The download link seems to be broken: all I get is an 1KB empty zip file.

Please, re-upload it!

Thanks!

[EDIT] We are missing the README file! Can you please explan where should JAZZ1 files be put? Thanks!

Don’t upload betas.

Please remember to include all the tilesets.

Story
There isn’t one so i won’t rate.

Eyecandey
Very plain. We got a layer 8 space background that moves. Layer 3 is boring and doesn’t use many tiles. It’s also looks empty. The flame animations don’t have enough frames and look weird as they don’t loop properly. Not much is used in lyaer 3. Boring eyecandey.
1/10
Gameplay
Again boring. All you do is destroy a crate, drop down, then run to a wall and it stops there. You can find some coins and enter a warp but there’s no need as there’s nothing to defeat. Most of the coins are also to easy to get to.
1/10
Enemy Placement
Non so no points.

Pickups
Poor. small amount, power-ups in open area, little bit of food, coins. That’s all I can think of. Oh and little ammo.

Oh boy! This is WORSE then the bare basics, You got platforms with tilebugs floating in this air and a plain background. No foreground. Next topic!

Gameplay
All you do is run right, using cheats to complete it. The thing is, you don’t need cheats to win. also, why would I want to play a level where it want’s me to cheat. The boss is also boring. You can also fall off the level.

DR? No. There is no point to this level and is not worth downloading.

I think this has gone long enough without a proper review.

What this is
This is basically a conversion of a level form Megaman. I’ve never played it so I don’t know how accurate it is, so I’ll just go by my standers.

Tiles
Well not bad at all. We got the basics, slopes, and regular land tiles. We got mechanical layer 5 type caves, electricity. For the background we got a plain sky, (Textured would be nice) sun, buildings, clouds and a city. We got layer 3 Fences and other stuff. We got hooks, spikes, destruct blocks that look great and look like 8 bit, vines, flashing arrows and a little dancing Megaman. You can make a decent level with this tileset and I don’t know how it stacks up with the real thing, but I think the tiles are good. A little more eycandey stuff would be nice but you got everything you need to make a good level. pallets are also nice.
7/10
Animations
Not much is given. all there is electricity, arrows and the dancing Mega man. what is there works though and like I said, I don’t know how many animations there were in the game. Still, what’s there, works.
7/10
Colors
I won’t rate because I don’t know what the Original looked like. What is there looks nice though.
Pallet Events
Won’t rate because nothing was put in to make them work. (I don’t think he was going for that.)
Masking
Masking is pretty much perfect with everything masked properly. great job!
10/10
Reusability
You can make a lot with this. I can thing of a base, outdoor city, mixture, battle in the sky and probably more. Good job there!
8/10

Final Score: 32/40

Rank: B
DR? Yes. this is a nice conversion and you can do quite a bit with it. I look forward to your next conversion!

WOOOW!!
Well that was an experience..
The name isn’t quite good because those levels didn’t look like a labyrinth at all(laberinto means labyrinth for those who don’t know).
First the levels had no story at all.

The eyecandy was horrible. There were lots of bugs even in the background. The tileset wasn’t properly used. It was very linear, every level looked like another one except diferent tileset, or rain , or some edits. In one level i’ve accidentally discovered a Xmas Bilsy(ADDON Dog) and that was a surprise.(Tip: Don’t use that without boss activation)

The gameplay….. I don’t know… The spikes don’t hurt, there are butterfly/beeboys on the ground you forgot to mask the hats, no triggers, a warp required a jjcoins cheat the text strings are in spanish ,The boss arena was very short:You just come and then the boss activates etc

Enemy placement was bad : Mostly Catterpilars with a mix of other things included a Xmas Bilsy.
Goodies: Not to much of that either

Score:Bad

Dl Rec? no. Sorry!I hate doing it.
You should try to fix these levels. They are more than a mix of tilesets. You have to put some of your soul in it and after you upload them you just have to wait.

Just don’t download this. 4 extremely linear levels and one boring Boss battle.
All you do is run right, drop down, run left and get to the exit.
In the 3rd level you had a Coin warp but there are no Coins. In the textstring you say to cheat to enter the warp. I know it’s not English but I can clearly see the cheat code.
1/10 -> Bad

why do people insist of upload pictures that have nothing to do with the download?

Also what’s with all the download that are beginning with lab?

Anyhow.

Story
No story is given so I won’t rate that.

Eyecandey
Oh come on. what’s with the slew of bad uploads? Eyecandey in all the levels are horrible. Pretty much ALL the levels have background tilebugs. Sure the background is textured but that’s not going to save you. Not much in layer 3 except in toe rain levels. Even the rain looks bad as it is poorly animated. Layer 4 is full of tilebugs in all the levels with platforms floating in thin air, bad animations, repetitive eyecandey, tons of tilebugs and overall laziness.
1/10
Gameplay
This can be put down as simply running left or right, jumping and shooting. No puzzles are present. the spikes in one of the levels don’t hurt you because the they don’t have any hurt events on them. The boss arena is boring and you can jump the activate boss events and shoot him to death without activating him. the text isn’t in English so I couldn’t read them but like Spaz said, one of the warps requires you to use the jjcoins cheat. (Now THAT’s lazy) I really don’t know what else to say.
1/10
Enemie placement
There isn’t a lot of them around and a lot of them don’t fit. there are a lot of caterpillars and a huge mixture of enemies, including ones that don’t work. One level even had a Blisy boss put in the path so you hit with without knowing it. there isn’t enough to kill me and a lot of them don’t fit. (Or don’t work)
1/10
Pickup Placement
The only ting that had anything items was the bonus warp that you need to cheat to get to. Nothing else is present.

[Rating (4.0) clearance. Are you sure you picked the correct rating here? – cooba]

An okay battle level, a bit too holed for my taste. Eyecandy is fine. Could be bigger.

IT is one of evilmike’s best levels.
super gameplay I rate it 10
