This is an poor show for it is unfinished.
Its a unfinished undoubtely untested in lees-than-a-day-made test. Its used the tileset carrotus. It has a few SCE`s to add eyecandy. That`s 1 point that i actually DID like… |= (
Now its unfinished and existing out of 1 level witch is very hard. Its got almost no, or has`nt got eyecandy.
Tip for the creator: COMPLETE YOUR LEVELS
Tip for the readers: DO`NT DOWNLOAD THIS, well, YET… download the version that IS complete, tested and eyecandied.
Sorry if this was offensive but,hey!
Learn a bit more about JCS first.
And if this was your 1st level made or something like that, here`s a tip:
Do`nt upload your first levels unless they rule.
DR? Not really…
Don’t give up one making levels! It takes more than 3 levels to get you name out there. Look at evilmike, his levels were average until he released his Invasion of Deserto pack and now hes one of the best levels makers on jazz2online! Now for the review. My first Race review!
Eyecandey:
The eyecandey is great. The black part made no sense but after that the eyecandey looked great. The trees in the background look amazing. It looks it took along time. There’s a moving textured background and the place really looks like it’s outdoors. Layer 3 was used a lot for tons of shrubage and the holes in the wall look professionally done. Great eyecandey!
8/10
Gameplay/obsticle placement
Good. The black area I got stuck on. There was no way to get past from what I saw. I found a trigger crate in the wall using JCS but there’s no way to get to it. Mabey I have to be in MP? Well anyway I used cheats to look around and this is what I saw: There were lots of little obstacles in the black area and during the outside area it was nice. it was a good long race and there were lots of h springs for you if you not careful. There were parts were you had to climb the wall and there were lots of jumps were if you missed it you’d fall behind fast! Still something with an airbord or the switch box. (If they work in MP) So gameplay would be better if there were more verity in obstical placement.
7/10
Pickup placement:
Great. There wasn’t that much ammo in the level which is good for a race level I think. There was a verity in ammo and it wasn’t all clumped together. It was nice and scattered. There were no powerups that I could see which is good I think and no carrots. (Are those even needed in a Race level?) Great pickup placement.
8/10
Final score:23/30
Score: 8.5
Rank: B
DR: What do you think. Yes of course.
Sorry, but this is not a very good test.
EYECANDY
Hardly any eyecandy can be seen in this level. The only background is the Textured BG used in Layer 8. There are also Carrots and some of these have tilebugs. The ground is too flat.
1/10
GAMEPLAY
I don’t know if there is really any Gameplay here. All I was doing was jumping over some Carrots avoiding the Warps down below. I get to the end in like 20 seconds and NOTHING happens. Not even a text event to congratulate you. The whole thing is too easy if you use Jazz as he could just copter over everything.
1/10
OBSTACLE PLACEMENT
Other than the Warps you have to avoid, there is absolutely no more obstacles in this level.
1/10
TOTAL SCORE: 3/30 (1.0)
DOWNLOAD?
No. You need to spend more time making your levels as this looks like it was made in less than a day. Don’t let the rating put you off. Keep trying and you will get better.
This is a nice race level. The tileset is very well used, and every tile fits together with the others. A very good point is that the level changes in every lap, so it isn’t about memorizing the layout, it’s about having reflexes and skill to jump over springs. In some parts it can be quite hard, not to say annoying, but overall it’s difficulty is fine. This level is very fun to play. Maybe one bad thing is that it can be confusing on some parts, as you don’t know where to go, and the lightning on the level, which can turn it almost/completely dark.
TILESET USAGE, ORIGINALITY, PLAYABITILY, LEVEL DESIGN, and everything else: +10
AMBIENT LIGHTNING: -0.5
I DON’T LIKE CHEESE: -4 (just kidding, I won’t take off points for this!)
I’d recommend you to download this level. If you like races, this is a MUST.
What the hell is this??? It seems like you were starting a new level, but for any reason you decided to upload it to J2O… I’d like to think it was a mistake. To start with, it is only a small room. The background is very bad placed, the tiles don’t fit together, and there is absolutely NOTHING on the level to do, to jump on, to shot at or to pick up. Next time you upload a level please try at least to finish it before doing so.
PD: You say you used the Beach tileset, but it is indeed Carrotus (very very bad used though)
I wouldn’t say that this hotel would entertain me… for longer than 5 minutes. Further more, the lighting sux (why is it so dark in the rooms, no one would like to live there, since they cant see their room!), but you managed to get some eyecandy in it. All around the place you can find pieces of grass and such. One question, why didnt you use the giant carrots? I think it will make the eyecandy better.
Oh.. Gameplay sux too, btw. Why is it so empty everywhere? Would have filled lots of empty space with more houses and such.. Entertaining stuff. There isn’t alot entertainment, except for the Luck Tube, which you have added with alot of irritating noise. Further more, I can’t get back up to the layer with the shop, once I’ve gone downstairs.
Way to many coins you placed. Had to put my sound bit lower, cause the only sound that came out was “pling”!
As Labratkid said, don’t upload these type of city/hotels (or put more entertainment in it so it’s more interesting). But I disagree with Lab about the hosting. Don’t host this at all.

Shrooblord DR? YEEAHH!
I’d like to say that I suggested that the tileset should be Swamps.
Sorry, I didn’t know there was already a Battle Game 1 remake with Agama’s Swamps of the Sleeping Jaguar.
So yeah, sorry stuff.
~Eigus
A good level, even if it is a little hard. But who cares? With a Diamondus tileset, he’s a genius.
It is a great honour to have the filenames branded with the FH tag.
Keep up the excellent work. Anyone who views these levels will know that they are not just a few more battle1 ripoffs.
Nice…
To start with the music, i like it.
I like the PU`s and that you swapped the copter for springs…it makes it easier!
As mentioned in other reviews: Maybe be more original with the tileset (that means: not stolen):( But hey! still great.
Like it.
Shrooblord (a.k.a. JangoCF)
P.S. Could someone PM me what Featured Reviews are?Thanks
I’m not gonna remake any of the other original levels. I only wanted to remake Battle1.
But, anyway, thanks for the reviews. :)
Pyromanus already made a battle1 conversion with swamps, I think.
This is great. Eyecandey is great, no tilebugs whatsoever. Ammo is better placed and powerups are harder to get at. Also you have to pay to get a shield and you can pay more money for extra time which is great. Music is nice and I don’t care what you say this is a great remake. I much prefure this one than battle 1 original.
DR: Yes
“If there is any way I can improve the level, let me know in the review.”
Don’t make remakes of original battle levels. That means, if you where ever thinking up making a remake up Battle 2,3, capture 1 etc, don’t. Also, don’t steal the ideas of other creators by changing the tileset, like you used in swamps, because it’s already been done before.
Make your own levels.
~Hitch
Yay,that level has exelent…
I got only one little rider on music.
