Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

The second version of Chets SOS levels.

LEVEL 1:
This level is ust simply ‘get from here to there’. There are no tile bugs but no eyecandy for the backround or foreground. The backround is textured with no bugs. The items in this level: some types were completely overused like extra lives and carrots. There isn’t enogh ammo or food. The enemies were overused in some parts but others had none (eg. The fencers near the exit). There was not enough spikes which caused the overusage of enemies to make the level harder.
The good thig about this level was that there was a veriety of gameplay but you could have used more spikes.
RATING: 3.5

LEVEL 2:
This one was better. There was more eyecandy and ammo. But you still overused extra lives (I had about 9 by the end of the game). The destructive blocks took too long to shoot and there wasn’t enough enemies. But the level kept you thinking ‘what do I do next?’ and ‘Where am I going?’. One minute you could be in this computer room, the next minute you could be in this land full of marsh. Still, the bad point keep this level down.

FINAL COMMENT:
I would try these again with a coninued bit but with the advice I gave in the review.

Tol’ja I’d do it, and I did it, too.

Introduction:
Kind’a techno, kind of electronica, kind of groovy. This is a Dark Groove remix that sounds like it came

Song Analysis:
The song starts out lighter than Dark Groove and a little faster. In fact, it only sounds remotely like Dark Groove.(A passerby might argue that it isn’t, for example.) It’s also a bit repeatitious all throughout. Around 1:20 does the song start to show a little more “Dark Grooviness,” getting right into the groove with the original notes(roughly) of Dark Groove, which leads to a slight breakdown around 2:07.5. The song more or less repeats its various patterns(with some slight alterations) from then on until we get to around 3:10.5 where it goes into a full-fledged mess of rhythms and notes for a while. And I mean that in a good way. More repeatition ensues, then finally, the song comes to a nice fake close around 4:33 which leads into another breakbeat drum session, and finally, a mellow ending. It works, but as stated, it’s a little repeatitious.

Sample Analysis:
The samples are all much more crisp than the original samples from Dark Groove and, as far as I can tell, not many(if any) of the originals were used. Maybe the drums from another Jazz 2 song. In any case, all the samples sound good, and sound good together.

Final Analysis:
Repeatitious, but very worthy of any given Jazz 2 level. Plus, it’s a lotta fun to just sit back and listen to.

Score: 6.7
“Nondescript” Points: 0.5
Total Score: 7.2

Recommendation?:
Sure. As stated, it’s fun to listen to by its lonesome and could easily be implemented into any given stage.(Probably Heck or Castle. Maybe some technological stage.)

I think i just found my new fav music for jj2!
It’s strange it has some wheired sounds in it.. but all the better… I like it, i’ll give it a 9.5.

[Unsupported (9.5) rating removal – FQuist]

Well i guess i’ll work on it i’ll work on…
EYECANDY ,ITEMS,GAMEPLAY,SIZE,MUSIC

And all that has been changed!

After chet208s first domonation of the board, I wanted to review one of his/her levels. But the internet stopped working. Chet continues to keep the board covered in his/her name.
Now to the review:

EYECANDY:
Not a great start, many tileugs espesially on walls and ceilings. No backround or foreground eyecandy. Infact, the 8th and 4th layer are the only layers that provide eyecandy. Next time, use more layers.
RATING: 2.7

ITEMS:
Dissapointing, there is a maximum of 2 types of ammo. No food, no gems and no powerups. A wider range of items don’t make the level feel empty. Also the only gun types you used were 2 (ice) and 7 (TNT) which are by far the most dissapointing. Some areas were full of items whilst others had barely any.
RATING: 1.8

GAMEPLAY:
A bit of gameplay, but not a lot. There is a vine, some blocks to shoot, a few shortcuts and V-poles. The level still lacked gameplay and made the level feel even more empty.
RATING: 2.1

SIZE:
The race was too short and some areas were too difficult to move around. Some areas were large with no iems in or gameplay and some were small and were filled with items (eg. Near the beggining).
RATING: 2.8

MUSIC:
JJ2 menusong for a race?????
+0

TILESET:
The castle theme for a race is good but you didn’t use it as well as you could.
+0.1

AVERAGE RATING: 2.5
BONUS: 0.1
FINAL RATING: 2.6 (Rounded: 2.7)
RATING RANK: 2 (Terrible)
DOWNLOAD?: No
FINAL COMMENT:
Make sure you use a wider range of items and fill the empty spaces with items or gameplay.

Thanks to ShadowRabbit and n00b for reviews and good rating to this level.

By the way my own best time is 0:25:21.
(I’m not joking).

Well, it’s sorta good but the level is not my taste so 4.5 ( not that it’s bad or anything)
(Unsupported rating removal. Reviews must be at least three lines. ~Violet)

Well, um… hm.

Definitely not what I was expecting, to be sure.

Slow electro is right, for sure. There’s enough of Dark Groove laced in there to be recognizable, but it’s tweaked just enough to make people wonder just what it is they’re listening to.

I find it extremely hard to believe that you mutated Dark Groove into this, GGJ. I would have believed you if you said you made this from scratch. Then again, I haven’t tracked enough to know what is possible and what isn’t.

For sheer musical quality, you’ve earned yourself an 8.2 from me. It’s not really my brand of music, but I tried not to let that faze my opinion. For all of you other persons, download this… it’s the only way you’ll ever really understand.

You know, I figured I’d download this simply for the music, but for some reason I decided to actually try playing the level.

Suffice it to say that the second of my decisions was a mistake. A grievous mistake.

Please, please, for the good of J2O… stop uploading things, Chet. It’s unhealthy.
(Oops, missed this. Unsupported rating (1) removal. ~Violet)

It’s great!. But it’s hard to find a sever that has my version of jazz Jackrabbit.
(Unsupported rating (10) removal. That is not the fault of this program, by the way. ~Violet)

Nice, but it’s to flat and the idea is realy good and original, But i think the level could use some un-flat surfaces. And Its a good level.

it’s tsf.

i have no problem with tsf levels, because i have tsf too.

BUT IF THE LEVELS ARE TSF THEN PLEASE DON’T SAY THE’RE 1.23!!

and also, stop uploading so many things. it gets annoying. upload them all in 1 pack if you have more than 1 level.

Really, couple times better than normally. Firstly, it’s pretty original, second thing is that you managed to minimize the offkeyness almost as much as possible.

Style of the song is very strange, it’s some slow electro, but it sounds good.
New industrial electro melodies, modified original ones, main melody of the original as nice background… I have some reservations to bassline, it itself (even without anything) sounds weird… Like… Offkey ;)
The tune uses nice rhythm combined with disorted, hard drumloop, it perfectly fits to the song, but actually there should be bigger work with drumloop, the tempo isn’t fully adjusted so it’s not right-on-beat (but it almost can’t be heard).
Main power of the song is that it uses number of awesome effects, which gives song the right grades and thanks to effects, song quickly and… effectively ;) transits between its parts.
Imho, tune sounds empty at some places, some string could probably help.

I like this song, although I have few reservations. Originality and cool effects combined with ungood bassline and empty sound, that’s… Great deal! :D

Ischa, maybe it’s your opinnion, but i don’t think this is a good reason to break points just because the queen is friendly!? This is just a story, does this really matters that the queen must be evil everytime? This is my idea, maybe that’s yours!
By the way, the music of the second level is one of the official musics of that tileset from Tomb Rabbit. I just wanted to be loyal to that episode, so didn’t change the music. You should not make me responsible for that. I’d be very happy if you’d re-review the level pack according to these.
Thank you
Chandie

This is your 12th thing in 3 days.
And i can’t even open it.

Rating The Morph Machine v.4

Hello, Chandie!
This is your rating for the Morph Machine version 4:

Tileset
It are good tilesets. Very good tilesets. Egyptic tilesets for an Egyptic episode.
Rating: 9.1

Music
Good music, but not good placed. Only level one is good. Level two’s music is more future-style and level three and the escape more jungle-style and the credits is classic JJ2-music.
Rating: 4.7

Obstacles
The obstacles are good. The levels are hard, but possible… but more possible with cheats. Very difficult.
Rating: 10+

Story
Good chosen, but the Queen was too friendly. It is a boss and no good guy.
Rating: 7.0

FINAL RATING: 7.7
Download recommendation: YES

Hey! Hey comeone, wats up?

HEHEEHEHHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!!!!!

Funnyest movie ever!
That brings up my wirdo senser to explode!!!

9,7!

Why would i want to download what ever is at the end of the link? it could even be a VIRUS.

Excellent concept, but is executed EXTREMLY poorly.

All I can say is WTF. You took the medivo tileset, dipped it in the toliet, took a dump on it, and used whatever tiles were magically still clean. Thats the only way this mess of eyecandy filth can be described. Stupid mistakes like adding a Jazz<->Spaz box in the middle of the frog area only adds insult to injury.
I don’t know whose idea it was that adding a bunch of enemies in a room and then dodging them with no way to fight back is ‘hard’. Its more like ‘definite suicide’. The attmept to patch that bit with constant Full-health carrots turn ‘definite suicide’ to ‘cakewalkus easius’.
The frog section is a linear path with tons of demons. For your braincell’s sake, i’m not going to mention it.

DR-No.

The way I see it, these levels are here for one reason only:
To releive stress by bashing poor levels, and to B-B-B-BO-B-BO-OOST review counts.
Ok so that was two things. Whatever.

These levels rely on their lame attempt at a story, horrendus eyecandy, and insanely placed death pits. Oh, and those linear rows of enemies we all hate.
Remember my “JCS USer’s Guide to Bad SP Level making”? Throw it out. Here’s the updated copy.
