Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

No,it does NOT deserve a 10!!!!!
But, it’s more than a 1….

Level was fairly boring, with basically a lonnnnnnnnng drop with nothing to do but sit and watch until the warp brings you back to the top, for more drops. I dunno, I have this thing in real life about sudden, long drops, and this game does not help it at all. The credits go by waaaaaay too fast to read, the only name I caught [because I buttstomped] was Blacky, and each name appears for about 2/3 of a second. Then there’s nothing.
Music was hilarious. Eyecandy was not. No laughing matter, it had two teal and red pipes, two blue pipes, a black bg, and zip elsewhere. Very unfun!
No DL rec, but I’ll be nice and give you a 3.5, because at least it’s playable, and it looks halfway decently allright.

Nice levelpack, exact copies of the original levels.

I like the way you used to do the ? blocks instead of jumping against them, good job!

In level 1-2, i loved how you didnt forget to put the Warp Zone in, not everybody would’ve thought about that.

Overall: Nice job, really nice.

8.5 from me!

I changed my mind about this level after having played it a few times in Zeal Alpha.

Some places in ‘Facing Worlds’ lack ammo, for example the area between bases and the carrot. But it’s a small level and it has 4 Pu’s, so I guess that’s okay. The EC isn’t impressing, but it’s decent enough. I quite like the light towers.

The center area is a bit full (2 PU’s and a Full NRG really close to eachother), although the pits make this a tricky area. It’s also Spaz-biased since springs, next to bases, are missing which makes it quite hard for Jazz to reach certain platforms.

The warp-placement makes this level really campy, since all warp targets lead to the base. This can be a positive thing too, but the ammo-rooms are a huge problem. You don’t have any other exits and your opponent could just keep camping the target.

Anyway, this is quite fun to play, if you avoid the ammo-rooms, and also fast paced, which is always a good thing. I like the idea of two bases, like in MS and well, since it’s a remake (I don’t know the original however) I think it definitely deservers more than the 5.5 I gave earlier. Also, since the fun-factor is high, you should really consider downloading this.

I’m to lazy to do a normal review so whatever. Anyway, right now, this is my favorite FR level, not just because he’s birdie, but because of how he made it. It doesn’t get totally cramped if it’s 10+ people, it actually get’s quite exciting. I love the Bouncy Turrent, and the crate which traps the campers near the flag the most. Yeah! Dload now!

This Episode seems so real and the enimies are placed very well but i dont relly find it difficult all you got to do is to shoot a path for you to cross

Story line:Sad But Nice=2/2

Eyecandy Perfect=3/3

lvls Size=5/5

=10/10

Download recomation=Yes

An improvement on your previous version. No idea why it’s called Forest as it doesn’t really look like one.

EYECANDY

Everything looked OK although there are still a few tilebugs in the Layer 4 ground tiles. The background was OK but nothing very special and I couldn’t really see the BG in Layer 6/7 until I got near the bottom of the level.
You could add some atmosphere to the cave parts by using the “Set Light” events to make it a little bit darker and seem as if you’re in a cave.
Overall, the eyecandy is nothing really special, looks kinda similar to the original TSF Easter level.

6/10

GAMEPLAY

There are various puzzles to be found in this level. They all involve breaking Trigger Crates and do not require too much thinking to proceed. The triggered bridge across the pit works much better as you now are unable to run and jump or copter over it.
There are a few secrets that can be found here, some of these are hiding Coins which can be used to gain access to the 20 Coin Warp where you can get a Toaster Power-Up, a Full NRG Carrot and some ammo.
The level was a good length, not too long or too short. It lasted me about 10-15 minutes which is good.
A few more puzzles were added to the level, still didn’t require too much thinking but you needed to explore the level a bit more to find more crates as there was more than one in each of the 4 warps.

7.5/10

ITEM & PICKUP PLACEMENT

Food was plentiful in this level this time. There was enough to start two Sugar Rushes.
There were enough Carrots to find. I did get down to 1 Heart Health but I was able to find a +1 Carrot, of which there is a reasonable amount of them.
Two Full NRGs can be found here; one in the Coin Warp and another just before the Boss.
Amount of Gems has now been reduced, I only found about 300 this time.
There was just one 1UP to be found so gaining an insane amount of lives will not happen.
There was one Power-Up which can be found in the 20 Coin Warp but I thought this was useless as I already had maximum fast fire on the Blaster.
Overall, placement of the pickups is good and there is now plenty of food to get.

7.5/10

ENEMY & OBSTACLE PLACEMENT

There was a reasonable amount of enemies in this level, not too many or too little. They were not in annoying places such as on 3 tile wide platforms or platforms above Springs.
Obstacles in this level were Trigger Scenery and Spike Balls to fly past. The spikes were kinda easy to get through and not much thinking was required to get through the Trigger Scenery.
The boss wasn’t too hard but the amount of Fast Fires I picked up from enemies made him a bit easy.

7/10

SHOULD YOU DOWNLOAD?

Marian has put more effort into the level to add more puzzles and the level lasts longer than before, took me about 5 minutes longer. So, I would say YES to downloading this.

ulpoad the title to this level i can’t play it

:D kewl to see someones taking inspiration out off my levels!
really, you shouldn’t thought (IF you did) that i was getting dissapointed or something.. but to be honest.. i only saw the idea off the trees down :(

Note: i just checked you also reviewed it.. the intro part is only happening when you play on single player.

This is a very good pack. Fearofdark has created a series of JJ1-themed levels, each shining brightly in the JJ2 nightsky. But more to follow below…

Eyecandy was just great, from the different signs in Industrius, to the trees and waterfalls of Diamondus, to the amalgamation of electrical components in Tubelectric, the eyecandy ruxors. I did also like how each planet was preceded by a little “warp-to” intro.

Story was explained well, the super-special carrot of Diamondus was stolen and you must get it back. The levels were nice, although they did drag on after a while.

Tilesets used were good-picked ones. The blasters in Tubelectric [which is available in certain JJ1 conversions, but not others] were used, as were the spark fences. Nearly every aspect of each tileset is used in the levels, which is nice.

The music was the JJ1 music for each planet, leading me to believe that this is in fact a JJ1-themed pack and not something completely different. I like it, it’s good to have a bit of variety of what is made in each pack.

I didn’t like [like SPAZ18 said] the annoying miniturtles. They were a pain. The carrots were few and far between. There were a fair amount of baddies, but no more than to be expected. Overall this pack was done quite well, and I would not hesitate to play it again…

Summing up, I think that FOD did a wonderful job on this pack. Aside from a few minor picks and pokes, it’s relatively squeaky clean and definitely worth a download.

Super nivo :):):)

i know this person and i hope he doesn’t get mad at me for rating it bad

[Review changed to quick review. You should also hope that I don’t get mad at you for not using the Quick Review option. ~cooba]

I can’t remember that much levels made by Robee, but this DOM-level is actually quite good! Which means that it’s time for a review!

Let’s start with the layout. The MP Start-areas are in-game quite.. useless. Also, the red spring leading to them can be quite annoying. Then there are two coinwarps at each side leading to a Seeker Pu, which is quite a good idea, but the level lacks imo some coins. Also at each side a PU, though Bouncy seems a lot stronger than Toaster since most platforms are quite thin. The CP’s are placed quite well, both in corners of the level and it should take some time to go from CP to CP. Death Pits (called ‘the Beast’) are quite nice and fit the level’s atmosphere.

About that atmosphere, it’s really good! There’s variety in eyecandy, the backgrounds are okay and overall the atmosphere is just quite good. What I don’t like are the details, since when you look close to some things they aren’t that good actually, for example the floating stalactites at (37,29). And then the sign at (59,7), lol.

About the gameplay and flow. Since this level is quite small two CP’s are good. 3 Pu’s with one hard to get (since it lacks coins) is also the right ammount. Getting the Pu’s, which are in some dead-endy area’s, takes some time (which is good) and well, everything’s at the right spot, I guess.

So should you download it? Errr, yes. It’s a quite good level with a good atmosphere and gameplay. It will play well, I guess, with 4-6 players.

I would like to start of by saying that this level doesn’t require JJ2+ to play. Now let us begin:

There are some things good with this level. The length of the level is good. It isn’t too short so that you complete it in second, but also, it isn’t too long. There are a good amount of enemies and goodies (although some parts contain too many blue gems), and there is a fair amount of puzzles envolving trigger crates and stuff. The level also appears to be mostly fixed in terms of eyecandy.

However, this level has a lot of room for improvement left. The level lacks originality. There isn’t anything new about it, and infact, some of the ideas were copied from the TSF easter levels. There is nothing original about the eyecandy either, which still has a few bugs in it. I don’t think the up arrow made of sparks looks very appealing. Also, the level could be more fun with a story, otherwise, you don’t know why you are playing it. The difficulty of the puzzles and secrets could be improved. They don’t require much thought. You could still do the airboard part of the level without an airboard (and it is probably much easier). Finally, the music doesn’t really suit the level.

PROS:
+ Level is a good length
+ Nice amounts of items and enemies
+ Nice amount of puzzles
+ Mostly fixed.

IMPROVEMENTS:
X Nothing original about it
X Puzzles don’t need much thought
X Eyecandy still has bugs
X Music doesn’t suit the level
X Needs a story

FINAL RATING:
Overall, this is a pretty average level. Perhaps higher, since it is improved from the old version. Because of this, I shall give this a 6.5.

RANK: 6 OK
DOWNLOAD?: This level ranks somewhere in the middle. There are houndreds of better levels out there, but you could also do a lot worse. I guess it wouldn’t hurt to download this. Have a weak Download Recommendation :)

I hate test. TEST IS SUXXXX!!!
And this is test… :/
sorry mark but i think this is SUXX…

Oh! I didn’t saw it earlier ;D
I played that and I tested that, so…
The level is very good, especially I liked your battle-fog efect. I think so playing battles on your level is pure fun ;)

@ Slaz: the warp you are talking about only did that in a previous not uploaded version of this level, I have replaced the warp target.

I had a problem with the secret level. After finishing that, I was just sent back to the desktop without any errors appearing. I guess I’ll have to proceed without the secret level for now.

EDIT: It works now! :D
Good job on fixing it, I’ll review sometime.

This is the only level I have ever said something remotely like this, but this level is the worst I’ve ever seen.

The visuals (are very bad). Animated grass? Vines in the middle of spots? This level galled me.
I am really sorry to say this, but I think you need to scrap the WHOLE thing and just start over again. The only notable thing was the pink house. Don’t do things like stretch 1-tile roofs, or put vines in the mist of nothing. No dl rec, but be very very sure to go back and fix it way up. Only then will your level improve. Sorry to take such a negative tone, but it really is that bad.

[This kind of tone is not welcome on J2O, regardless of the upload’s quality. Please don’t do this again. ~cooba]

Correction: This is a terrible tileset for a good hotel level.
Your tileset is, I’m sorry to report, not the best it could be. Example level made the best it could of the set, but there was one “jjk” spot—in the bathroom, of all places—, and this was not very nice. :(
Colors were terrible, graphics were too, I would strongly recommend at least using the JJ2 flames from other tilesets, because yours aren’t very good. :(:(
Music was nice, but didn’t really fit the level. The example, that is.
For a TSF only tileset, this sure isn’t very good. Please fix this up, I’m sure you will rock once you do.
