Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

At a glance, I was rather frightened to see that many stationary pikachu clones standing around… all in the same position… but that’s sorta the fault of the tileset, n’est ce pas?

This is another hotel-style level, which just like “Tube Electric Problems” has no real… point to it, basically just to go around and collect items for the sake of hearing the item collection sounds. Which are actually rather pleasant the first hundred times.

The eyecandy is, well… Pikachu, Pikachu, 1,000,000 regenerating diamond pickups, Pikachu, Pikachu, Repeating cloud background… holy hell, did I mention Pikachu? I wouldn’t want to leave that out concidering the important role it played in this level as some sort of yellow, stripped demon that taunted me whilst I was trying my damnedest just to get out of there… damn those big, cartoon eyes!

This level reminds me of life, which is basically to go around, get as rich as possible, eat until you get fat, run around to burn it off, and start all over again. And since when do banks just give you hundreds of dollars for free like that?!

Unless you’re under Pikachu’s evil charm spell, it would be best to wait for another level instead of downloading this one.

You’re entirely right when you say it was difficult to effectively add more eyecandy to this level. The tileset is simply horrendous… but the level compensated well.

I liked it. It had all the standard elements, like the tubes and the warps, as well as those hidden compartments that were thankfully obvious enough to discover even in the heat of battle. Moving from place to place was not a chore, either.

Problems:

1) It works fine for a battle level, but the level size could have been a little bigger— maybe gone a little more to the sides.

2) The less powerful weapons were found in the hardest places to reach, and the most powerful ones were found at the start of the level.

3) Like I said, even though this is a generally good level, the tileset is simply awful.

Despite that, I’d recommend this home-cooked level.

A very good battle level, I’d say. Not reminiscent of the original deserto levels, but made way for an original concept of level design. I’m reminded of the background when saying this.

The only problems I had:

1) This isn’t entirely the fault of the level creator, but it is difficult to flow from one part to the next. This is the fault of the tileset, but if some flatter tiles were used and some sprite-foreground tiles placed over them to make it look better, the entire level might have been easier to get around.

2) There’s some lack of interconnectivity between the chambers of the level. It just takes too long to get from one place to another, most likely causing combat to occur in a single place.

Besides that, I’d definately recommend this battle level.

[Rating (8.7) clearance. Pointing out two of the level’s flaws doesn’t explain the high rating. ~Cooba]

You did some very impressive things with some very unusual tilesets. Two of the race levels were however impossible to win with anyone but Spaz, and I found myself getting stuck in every one of them. The spaces between which you had to race were much, much too small, causing a great deal of frustration, making the level lose its “legato” feeling.

But that’s arguably just another aspect of racing, among many more concepts I got to see for the first time. You had to think quickly in the races to get past certain points and even had to get out of your way to defy physics (running in water as dense as air).

But I would definately reccomend this download. The levels were very well done, and once you get past the bugs the couple of gameplay issues, this is sure to become the next hit.

[Rating (8.5) clearance. This review doesn’t make it clear enough why does it rate this upload so high. “You did some very impressive things with some very unusual tilesets.” Care to explain what is so impressive there? ~Cooba]

Don’t get me wrong when I rate this below a six. It was obviously worked on for a while, and at first, I was impressed by the concept of DBZ-related training camp. The ending came a little too soon, however, and the triggers were way off. I didn’t have very much time to read one thing before being thrown somewhere else to read another. It’s impossible to know which boss’ health is indicated on the top, so I guess the entire time all you’re really doing is randomly shooting around.

It was a nice level, but lacked in gameplay. Try to divide your enemies around and separate your level into a few more rooms. And a single boss would do nicely, as well.

I usually don’t review multiplayer level packs, (actually, I usually don’t even review), but I saw the tilesets used, and decided to look.

Good stuff: Let me start by saying that the tilesets used are beautiful. Most of the levels are good looking and well layed out. Gameplay is smooth and scenic (wonderful eyecandy).

Bad stuff: Most levels seem to be really small.

Overall: Beautiful tilesets and levels.

Worth the download if you host games a lot.

EDIT: Sorry, heh, didn’t know what streetfight was. Still, they’re good levels. :)

Wait, why the hell did you make it an MP3? Modules are much, much smaller in comparison, unless your samples were unnecessarily huge.

EDIT: Music modules (shortened to modules here) are the proper name for .mod, .xm, .it, and .s3m files, as well as the great many other module files out there. I assume you are using a module tracking program for the remix. Next time, upload your remixes in module format, they’re much smaller. Trust me.

I don’t know how to rate music. But here are some points:

1. The music is quite loud but that’s not too much to worry about.

2. I think this was a great idea remixing the boss music. Too bad you can’t use it on JJ1 coz it’s an MP3 file.

The song may be loud. Also i wish that i could make it a modplug version but it is a lot harder than what i did use.

By the way on the prog i used each second is 10 kb. I made it mp3 because that took less space than the others.

Module? How do you use that?

Isn’t this the same as Lenti Lives?

Comeon guys this music is great (although a few offtune synths) drums were improved, the origanal was sorta slow anyway. Before the tune reaches 04:29s put it to at least 04:30s for a hidden part of it.

[Rating (7) clearance. You need to explain why was the music great, and pointing out some improvements isn’t enough to base a rating off. ~Cooba]

Rating Hide and Seek:

To start:
For each JJ2-fan those the Multiplayergame Battle likes, is this new challenge absolutely recommended.

Game rules:
This game must be plaid with split computers. On Battle mode you need to find and destroy the hidden player.
When a player is found, he must wait of being destroyed.

You can do this at home:
Just as nice to know:
Peter had itself blocked in the forest and I had find him. If I had found him, I had spray him with my water gun, before the music which had set up by my father, had expired. Unfortunately it did not succeeded me that and Peter did catch the victory.

Compliments for Gus:
After the 1 for ‘Single Player Mission 1: Colosal, The Lost Token’ Gus have made now two superb levels with a beautiful eyecandy.
There are no goodies, but that I found it is not necessary. You do not have nevertheless much, it is only hide concerning and wait if your antagonist finds you (and shoot on you) before the music ends.

And further:
are these levels superb!

Conclusion:
This is absolutely a download recommendation. Congratulations, Gus.

I reuploaded the level with WinZIP. Now it surley works.

Thanks a lot Birdie

Okay, this was much better than your previous level. You remembered to put in more scenery, and make the level a little easier (no areas with hurt events everywhere), which is good. There were a few things the level shouldn’t have had, however. The first, is the room where you die if you choose the wrong warp. Those are pointless and only serve to frustrate the player (especially since he has gotten so far already). It’s nice that you made a larger level this time. Remember to use a variety of scenery, and try to make the level into something more than just random walkways (make it a lab or a space station or something). You also need to add in food or other items so the player doesn’t get bored. Most importantly, you need the make the levels accessible to both Spaz AND Jazz (like the crate that only spaz could jump to). I also liked your use of trigger scenery and animations.

I would simply work on having more variety and less repetition. Make the level challenging, but don’t frustrate the player. You might try using baddies instead of hurt events.

That’s all the suggestions I can give for the moment. Oh, continue to work on youe English. Your level will look more professional with proper English.

Rating Deep City:

Eyecandy:
A beautiful background have decorated the level very good. I was not able to do it.
Rank: Very good

Gameplay:
A good gameplay! You don’t need only to collect gems, but also coins! You need coins to exit the level or warp to secrets. Very orginal.
Rank: Perfect

Gem Placement:
The gems are good placed!
Rank: Very good

Download recommendation: YES!

[Extreme rating (9,3) clearance. This account has got its review privileges revoked. ~Cooba]

My review privileges aren’t revoked! I will make it better now. Maybe I can make this review more clear?

————————————————————

I find the further complete original need not only gems, but also coins to exit the level. But that is not some, you can even travel through Atlantis!

Furthermore I it finds also very good that a Treasure-Hunt-level have been made again, but that I in my review has not typed, because that is not fair.

Moreover I find that being the Hot- and Cold-chambers also complete original. In Cold must you take off a labyrinth and look out that you do not freeze. In Hot you must find a secret route through the walls.

And the Go-To-The-Exit-Secret call I also original. If you are, need you almost always only still but are 20 coins to have for the exit and then you finished.

The only thing that moans, is that there only 1 access Granted exists.

So, again a 9,3 and absolutely a DL!

The Reviewers are right YET!.
I kinda like it yet its not THAT! good.

A-hoy hoy, Now for my review of softcake stew.
Eyecandy
This level falls short in the eyecandy category, There is background and a few buildings, but thats it. Indoors away from the empty background we have more eyecandy, at least more eyecandy then outside, Infact it looks rather nice insde, But without good eyecandy everywhere it won’t look all too splended. Some places though it is hard to tell what is solid and what isn’t though, it can get kind of annoying.
You could have probably added another layer of eyecandy outside if you didn’t use layer 6 as a support layer for layer 4.
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| – 7.1/10

Gameplay
The gameplay here is better then the eyecandy. The flow may be abit rough here and there, but it would be rather splendid for a smaller amount of people like 4 or 6. It is too easy to RF spam up at the top, and it is abit hard to get into the base from the top, But I still think its fun at the bottom.
Maybe you should have done more obstacles on the top.
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| – 7.5/10

Event Placement
The carrot placment is pretty good, you can get it from the bottom and top, and its fun to shoot it all the way down, As for power ups, the seeker power up probably generates a camping zone because it is right there in the open, its a seeker power up, but its hard to hit somone standing in a hole, to the contrary the other power ups are semi uncampable, but they are abit hard to find. As for ammo, there isn’t enough.
Try keeping thing easy to find.
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| – 7.3/10

Bonus
-One of my favorate sets +0.1
-No music -0.1
-Not so easy to tell what is solid and what isn’t -0.1
– -0.1/0.5

Overall
Good enough level, although it could use some layout refinement.
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| – 7.2/10

Sure, It might not be the best level out there, but it is good for an ocasional play.
=D

=)Freestyle.(=

OK, I shall change this review.

Here goes:

1. The trigger crate at the start doesn’t work. Because of this the level was unable to be beaten. Possible causes of this could be:

A. The ID in the “Trig Scen” doesn’t match the ID in the “Trig Crate” or vice versa.

B. ID 0 was used.

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS:

A. Make sure that the ID’s match in both the Trigger events.
B. Don’t use ID 0. It doesn’t work with that.

2. There were a bit too many Hurt events, spikes, spike balls and enemies. Yes, it was the hardest level ever but having too many of these frustrates people. Try to reduce them a bit.

EDIT: I have found the problem with the crate. The Animated Tile was used incorrectly. When you smash the crate the Tile doesn’t disappear but comes up with the next tile which isn’t a BLANK tile. What you need to do is choose the tile you want to use for a Trigger event, then choose the blank tile so that the tile will disappear when the crate is smashed.

3. I had to cheat in order to get through. When I did get past the door there were platforms with enemies, LOADS of spikes and THREE Devans. Hardest level doesn’t always mean it’s gonna be good.

This level is only bad coz the level maker was showing HOW NOT to use JCS. Yes, excessive amounts of enemies are annoying and they can cause Amnesia errors when you save & load. I had to use the Sugar Rush cheat coz there was LOADS of enemies and EVERY boss at the end. Finishing the level made the game crash.
I won’t rate this since this is showing how NOT to use JCS.
