Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Is there a readme or description or something? Looking at the screenshot kind of gives an idea, but what does it exactly do? Does it just record singleplayer games, or can it do multiplayer too? Is it anything like the demo that plays if you leave jj2 on the title screen long enough?

WTF? For me, the cuboid crashes the game after about 10 seconds of playing!

PlunK: nope, no weird effects. I just start playing… 10 seconds… CRASH.

OK, It doesn’t look like a robot. You don’t need to do anyhting than dodge the flails to win this. Far too easy. What is the meaning of the tube in the start? nothing. Many good lvl makers use custom bosses, but making one won’t make the level good. Not bad, just keep trying and make differerent lvls too.

I did Know that. I just think they are cool to use as alternative bosses, and I know they aren’t knew, but I haven’t seen them used very much. There is alot of cool stuff you get make usng MCE’s for thosse who know what that is.

For Kax: Is it the screen flicker effect? Part of the cuboids is the screen will go completely multicolored bars( like TV fuzz )and the more you make go berserk(kill all cubes)the more often and longer it lasts. It might be what crashes

Eyecandy A lot of eyecandy. Well placed too. Nothing to say here.

5/5

Enemies Also a lot of (well placed) enemies. Those bees were also good xD.

5/5

Fun I had fun, but the part with the warps and the fact you needed 100 coins were less fun. Also, there was in the tower with those jars a bug with a spring. you couldn’t get on it because you got stuck in the wall.

4/5

Music The music fitted with the story of the level, it was kind of creepy. you heard it bad though, because of the sound of the flames.

2/3

Total 16/18=8,88=9

For your information: these bosses not exactly new as they’re just respectively old Devan, Bolly, and Uterus with misplaced (uncached) sprites. If you were to put a Devan in the first level, your “Hyper Jazz” would become a Devan. Etc.

Eyecandy There were a lot of trees, totems, waterfalls, flowers and strange squares in the wall (what they did there, i don’t know…) in other words, well done

4/5

Enemies Not many, it could be more. I didn’t notice a difference between normal and hard either. Because of the lack of uch enemies this level was just simple. pity.

3/5

Fun I simply had fun, and those texts were fun too (and yes, i’m a n00b that uses jjcoins to check out what’s the bonus xD )

5/5

Music it simply fitted to the tileset and the level. It’s grasslandy (is that a word?)

3/3

Total 15/18=83,33%=8,2

hmm…

Not bad with this tileset.
But it’s a bit short.
And there isn’t too much things.
Only lizards,turtles and apples.
My rating is: N/A

I don’t know how people are rating this pack since one of the tile sets are missing. The level tmcship1.j2l
this needs to be added in.

Note: this is NO review!

Good try, but do not give up, no really… don’t!

I think you can do better with some examples. So I’ll give you some links to help you:

You do not need arenas with Tuf Bosses and enemies in it to make the Robot Boss harder. For example, download this level.
http://www.jazz2online.com/J2Ov2/downloads/info.php?levelID=1908

I’ve also created two examples of nontraditional Bosses, one of them is a big Robot Boss:

And also my friend Gus uses nontraditional Bosses, so download his packs.

Check them out and then try again. I’m sure you can do it. DON’T STOP!

I think if you add the word “Concept” to your level title (Which I feel is what you are demonstrating here), you would avoid the reviews by people who are looking for quality (AKA review by sonicnathan)

The design is simple: basically a puzzle boss that solves itself, but the idea of waiting around while it does that seems rather unorthodox for even a puzzle boss, even if you are defending yourself from enemies.

This concept might be more believable in a war-theme (“Hold the base until we can send reinforcements…”), but as a generator thingy?… maybe not…

A good idea as a timer…

This was rather interesting. I would have liked more eyecandy for starters (Since I really couldn’t tell I was fighting this huge generator robot thing).

The boss concept isn’t bad, but is rather wasted in its execution. The fun comes from a Wario Ware like sense of trying to figure out what the hell is going on (I won’t spoil the specifics) but once you do it becomes all too easy to win (Just stay light on your feet, and it’ll be easy to avoid the two schwarzengaurds which provide the biggest threat.)

However, once you figure it all out it just doesn’t have any other reason to come back to it, and theres no real challenge past “How do I kill this thing?” Your experimentation time may vary but I figured it out just right before I died the first time.

I say download, since its worth a look. Its a semi-interesting approach (even though the mechanics have all been done before) and unlike the recent Bosses pack by DX, its not out to kill you. So it has that going for it. Just be warned, that the gimmick wears thin far too quickly.

Eyecandey: Bland. Nothing there at all. Layer 8 but that’s all. (maybe a little layer 3) The eyecandey is so bland I could have made something like this in 2 minutes! Layer 4 is empty and you used about 6 tiles and 1 animation.
1/10

Gameplay: Non. All it is you fall trough a hole and go to a badly done boss. All you do is kill turtles (Which there are to many of them) while dodging Tuf boss boomerangs. There’s a robot boss at the top but he’s impossible to get to. I couldn’t see a way to complete the level. If you can complete the level I’ll update my review. Edit: You can complete it, but the SCE spawns so slowly I died before even one forth of the health was gone!
1/10

Pickups: Non. Period.
1/10

Final Score: 3/30
Rank: F
DR? I just can’t say yes. But keep trying! My levels used to look like this and now I’ve greatly improved. Just keep practicing!

Wow, I’m impressed that someone actually uploaded a JJ1 level. I had one in progress too, but it wasn’t finished. (I actually made it because I accidentally deleted the first level of Technoir – send it to me via electronic mail if you can)

Enemies:
Long live the Diamondus bees and turtles! Doubble Dutch also outfitted them with brand new golden shells, so they look like they came from the Battleships. Nice. However, there are far more turtles than there are bees, so shooting gets a little boring after a while.

Weapons:
In spirit of JJ1, the player gets more weapons than he or she needs. Better many than nothing. Unfortunately, there is more ammo for Toaster than there is for any other weapon.

Layers/Eyecandy:
The modified Diamondus tileset is used really well, as far as JJ1 allows. The background is very groovy, and so are the lava waterfalls. The robot from One Must Fall also takes place in this level.

Secrets:
What would be a level without secrets? Those who read the JJ1 manual will feel like at home – if you come across a dead end, shoot it! Actually, I was rather disappointed at the end of the level, because the level was fun and I wanted more. Fortunately, I discovered a secret which brought me another extra minute of gameplay.

Extras:
I was somewhat surprised by the hole at the start of the level, and it made me lose one life. A similar thing happened later, after I shot a checkpoint. There is a bug in JJ1 which makes you lose two lives if you fall to the bottom of the level after you shot a checkpoint. The level was also hard, like most JJ1 levels. This is probably caused by the lower resolution and more enemies. Fortunately, you have plenty of Toaster ammo available.

Final Rating: 8.0
Download Recommendation: Of course!

I haven’t reviewed for a while. Now it’s time.

Eyecandy is something what you normally don’t see in tube electric levels. I like the way how you have used transculent bricks in the level. Background is nice and i like the fade colour in textured background. Also I didn’t find any tilebugs. I can’t say more about eyecandy.

Gameplay is pretty simple. Layout is very easy to learn. There are lots of ammo but not too much and PU’s are placed well. Springs and tubes are well placed so flow is pretty good. But after all gameplay doesn’t give anything new and inspiring and thats why I am little dissapointed.

Overall this level is nice and I’m not suprised that this level is in Anniversary Bash 10 but still I think that you can do better ;)

Hmmm…

Well this is your 2nd sp level.
It’s not bad.
But:-the eyecandy is a bit poor. -and there aren’t a lot of things, only enemies

Fix the level.

No more

Best low-end CTF levels evar.

“Best CTF Party good luck” – a dry level that is really cramped. No eyecandy, ammo, or music. The plus side is that scores can be done in 3 second intervals, and the level will become extremely chaotic if you fill the server right up, and full servers love chaos :)

“CTF Level Design Fiesta Dont Die” – n00b has listened very well to criticism about his last hit level. Now we don’t need to worry about boring platform tiles – there are none! not only that, but a blind maze with two blue bases and 4 red ones! WoW!

n00b has hit gold with this one, and we can hope his levels reach legendary status. I know it rocked my world =D

The name ‘Bouncin’ Around’ is so called because you can bounce off the walls in this level. This level makes good use of this concept, but what about everything else?

Well, lets start with the eyecandy. Because this is a JJ1 tileset, there isn’t going to be too much to put in the foreground. Infact, there is nothing on layers 1 and 2. For the background, everything moves with the sprite layer, which makes things look as if they are all on one layer. There are some nice things to look at in the level, such as some animating waterfalls and some animating walls and belts. Infact, there are quite a few animation tiles, which makes up for the lack of foreground eyecandy.

One improvement would be to make the eyecandy more interesting. There isn’t anything impressive to look at and nothing sticks out at you.

Now, lets move on to the gameplay. Like I said before, the level makes good use of boucing around the level, which is pretty much what the level is about. There is some creativity involved, as you need to bounce to certain areas of the level to get ammo. What the auther has tried to do is use a veriety of events, such as vines and airboards. The size of the battle arena is 67×67, a small arena that can contain about 2 or 3 players.

Unfortunately, it would be quite hard to roast someone if your bouncing around in an area with loads of springs. The only place people would get roasted would be the slower areas. Also, there are too many carrots for a battle arena which is quite small, especially near the bottom of the level. That’s bad because any one hurt could run away and heal him/herself instead of being roasted.

Any other points? Errr…not really.

RATING:
In my opinion, I think that the concept of bouncing around on walls may not be the best for a battle arena. The eyecandy seems fairly average, and the level seems like nothing too special, so I give it a…6.5.

DOWNLOAD: I’m not sure. I suppose yes if you want a battle arena with lots of carrots and really classifies as quite average. You could do much much worse, but you could also do much better.

I think it’s a great level pack with the original tilesets.The eyecandy is a little bad, but it doesn’t matter.No more.Download recommendation.

This is a very short level. Be forewarned.

Enemies:
Not many, compared to the number of weapons available.

Weapons:
What’s with all the TNT when you really only need 3 of them?

Layers/Eyecandy:
Only layers 4 and 8 are used, and these are the most important. At least layer 8 is textured.

Secrets:
Are there any? There is a bonus warp, which is totally inappropriate, since you get a sugar rush. Sugar rushes are only good in big and hard levels, you know.

Extras:
See above. There are some triggers, and stomp blocks used in place of destruct scenery.

General Rating: 1.5
Download Recommendation: No, it is a waste of time.
