Well I see first time a mario titled level, and I say its a good idea!

Good Things:
It have some funny things like Devan eats ham while playing video games, or Tuf Turt’s house.
It have original ideas!
The MARIO music extra good idea!

Bad Things:
Its ok it is one level but it can be longer, its to sort.Maybe you shoud create anathor level!
It can be seed its created fast so it coud be better!

Rate:
Sorry just 5.5 because its not so long work and its sort!

Last few words to you!:
Maybe you shoud browse a little, or create a continue! I know you able to do much better!;)
This level make me a good idea to create a Sonic titled level(Dont think I want to steal your idea)!
I learn some cool tricks from this level Thanks!:]

Next time create a longer level and I know you will get 9.9!But the most important never give up!

Nice Job and keep it up! ;>

Cool idea!!!!!!!!!!!!

Devan eats ham when hes playing games
lol:D

With level names like ‘Rocks AND Bombs’
and ‘The great tree’ I’ll have to play this pack to see if my fears are correct: There is a pack worse than the first Iluz land.
EDIT-
I’d like to point out, DX, that some people only have 1.24.

I’m afraid you’re not getting a 7 from me. I’ll let you know this immediantly.
When the two most memorable things are
A:The end
and
B: The frustrating difficult part before the end
Then I really don’t have much to work with. But then again, it’s still fun.
This is level is short, that means it’s not bad but it feels empty. Or maybe not empty, but like an example level for a tileset. While I don’t mind it’s charm, and quirky mindset (I had a dream, then converted it to a JJ2 level), there isn’t much to say when the interactivity is lacking. As always, theres a gimmick to keep you interested. In the Inferno 2:Hell’s Gate example level, that was find all the coins. Here, it was dodge fast flames and go deliver some ham.
Since everything before that was linear and ho-hum, this review is mainly going to focus on those 2 parts which literally make up the second half of the level. What I do remember from the first part is the otherwise stale eyecandy, but then again I had to consider the tileset which was at hand, and for the tileset the eyecasndy was fairly good. Now on to the gameplay. The first part has none. Trust me, it’s too bland. The first cool part(which is not a fond memory) is the reflex testing fire caves. But I do not like it when I am forced to Uppercut and then if I press left to late, I’m running into the flames I just passed by(This happened to me a few times) and in the end, You just rely on how far you can go with the short invinciblity you get from being hurt. The next cool part is pushing a crate over to a predetermined point. On a straight path. Devoid of obstacles. Why then, is this level so fun? Because of it’s quirky, mindless design. You get a 6.0, quality wise it’s not all there but somehow you made this level fun. Maybe it’s because its not as time consuming as other quality devoid levels, so all you are forced to remember the excellent parts.

Download Reccomendation? Heck yes, this level takes so little time to complete, it’s little quirkly mindless, linear gameplay will feel so incredibly awesome. And then afterwards, you’ll wonder why the heck you had fun playing it in the first place. Oh and it’s more fun to take the path that takes you to the Fire cave. Well if fun equals frustrating until you time yout invincibilty bursts right.
EDIT= 6.4=/=6.0

Starting Comments
Welcome to the fantastic world of JJ2! And, ofcourse, welcome to the even more fantastic world of JCS! Ok, the level.

Originality
This is an interesting idea! Jazz is having a dream! Haven’t seen lots of those before! :D

Creativity
First, nice job on the animations! I don’t seem to get those right… Ever… Anyway, there was a creative twist to the Devan Robot boss. You can’t attack his robot (hidden somewhere) but you must bring him a chest with ham! LOL! Once you brought him the chest, you get paid and can use the warp to the end of the level. :D

Music Choice
Just plain old Mario Music. :D It fits the tileset anyway, so it’s good.

Overall
It certainly not bad for a first level. Just basic, but fun! I’ll give you a 6.

Good thing
If you notice, there is a house near yours which says “Tuf turt’s place”. If you kill the turtle and come back later, it says “For sale”. LOL!!!!!
Bonus Points: 1.0
Bad thing
Work on extreme eyecandy. People LOVE extreme eyecandy.
Bonus Points: 0

Score:
7.0

Download Recommendation:

Further Comment:
Can’t wait for the next level. 8D

FINALLY I CAN GET BLACK FUR!!
:D :D :D

10/10, very useful.
I’m even starting a new game right now and I’m gonna recommend this for other players!
Bravo! Good job!

DOWNLOAD RECOMMENDATION? ABSOLUTELY!

Eh, also, can we have a non-static colour list? Cause most of my colours come up…shall we say…“Funny”.

I can’t get it to work, how do you install these files?
(ADMIN RESPONSE: You do not install them. Extract the files into the same folder as Jazz2.exe. The tileset will be available in the list of tilesets in JCS, and you will be able to play the level through various ways. ~Violet)

Eh, I knew you didn’t install them.
looks around What?! I’m being honest!
Here’s the review:

I noticed something.
When you get the red flag and go to the blue base, it says LOSER.

When I played, You were stuck in the top, so I custom added the starting position.

I like the music and it\‘s fun!

Imagine if you made a Lori level with the Lori stuff, it would be….very..um…yellow.

Nice job, Download Recommendation but be prepared to custom add your starting point near the \‘Welcome\’ sign.

Music-1.5/2
Gameplay-1/2
Tileset-2/2
Animations-2/2 – I like the firework circles lots.
Bonus Points- 1 – Music + Tileset = This Level. What I\‘m saying is, the music and tiles go together.

Overall- 7.5.
Actually, I like it, +1 lol. But I meant that.
Overall+LikeIt Point= 8.5
Download Recommendation? Yes.

_{EDITED BY SHADOWRABBIT 9/9/05 (How coincedental)}

Just now I realised. +1 for the FANTASTIC eyecandy. It’s everywhere, and I love it. That makes it 9.5. Well done!

Introduction:
This is what happens when someone from the Sonic Adventure generation takes a stab at a Jazz Jackrabbit song.

Song Analysis:
The lyrics are pretty good and fairly well sung. The song itself is pretty much the same ol’ Turtemple theme, but with square waves and triangle waves instead of actual real samples.

Sample Analysis:
As mentioned, square and triangle waves were used most of the song. Some real-sounding drums, a “fly-by” sound from Star Control II, and a couple others sounds were thrown in for the Heck of it, apparently. Let me be the first to tell you. . .if you’re going to go with real lyrics, don’t use freaking square and triangle waves. Compose a beautiful piece of music, by hand, using some real samples. Okay? Okay.

Final Analysis:
Ya know. . . This would be an absolutely freaking awesome Sonic Adventure-style song. . .if you hadn’t used Famicom-style samples for the background music! You fail!! 3.2 out of 10.0!!! This is also an insult to Jazz Jackrabbit fans. As mentioned above, get yourself a real arrangement of Turtemple, then add the lyrics in. Once you do, I can almost gaurentee I will give you a very high score, depending on the quality of the arrangement. Your heart’s in the right place. Really. But focus on the music, not the lyrics. . .

I do not recommend this file for download on the grounds that, even though it has sung lyrics, the lyrics are meaningless with the quality of music behind it.

Introduction:
Turtemple as heard a’la polyphonic cell phone ringtone! . . .not really.

Song Analysis:
Repeatitive. Short. Not exactly sweet. Initially, the beeps sort of collide with one-another, but after listening to it for a loop or two, it sounds fine enough. Like I said, though. It’s very repeatitive. I. . .genuinely have no idea what Crusader was going for in making this file. It sounds like a Cracker intro theme now, actually. Like the sort of thing you’d find on an intro to pirated software or something. Not even a “chiptune,” really. Just. . . Beepy. Might make a good ringtone for someone’s cell phone. . .

Sample Analysis:
Beeps, heavy drums, and some low basslines. I think I also detect a sample or two from the original song, but I could be wrong. No real complaints here, other than the beeps hurt my head. Even on low volumes, they sort of blare. Kind of annoying.

Final Analysis:
This song is a good wake-up call and a better cell phone ringtone, but overall, I don’t know why this was uploaded. It’s alright. . .but it’s boring. That’s why I give it a 3.7 score, but also a Download Recommendation. Because it’s not very unique, but unique enough to give a listen.

Sorry,low rating! :) This pack is too.. how can i say??.. Well there are no eyecandy, no original ideas. Just shoot some bad guys by passing the areas with wrong backgrounding and find the exit. The levels were filled with bad guys everywhere that makes you cheat while playing.
So, the author has to pay attention to this.
I loved the tileset Castube. Good looking and may be usefull sometimes.

However 4.0 from me..

You stole levelnames from me! ;O

I just played through this level, and I have to so that while some parts were fairly enjoyable, others were simply too annoying or confusing. Two areas in particular that bothered me were the sort of “bind maze” area in the start, and then the area where it tells you to “input code” or whatever which didn’t make much sense at all.

Enemies are somewhat sparse, but so are carrots. Because of this the level is somewhat challenging. One problem though is a lack of save points, which means that if you want to avoid frustration you have to save a lot. I don’t really like to use the save feature in the middle of levels, but I found I was forced to here.

The level starts out quite atmospheric, with a nice look to it and lots of layer 3 everywhere. It really makes you feel closed in. Unfortunately, the entire level pretty much looks the same, and it is quite large. The tileset doesn’t offer much, but I’ve always thought that large levels should use more versatile tilesets.

Despite the drawbacks of this level, it does have its merits. The level doesn’t really make you feel like you are on any sort of contrived “path”. The level is still quite linear, but areas branch out enough to make it seem more natural. I also liked the music choise, becuase it successfuly transformed a hellish tileset into something that feels more cold and empty.

I’m giving this level a 7. It’s a decent effort, but the annoyances that can be found in it prevent me from rating it an 8.

…why is it TSF ( 1.24)…

…why does this extract to another folder…

codeyou cant do anything you can only fall down
WE GOT TV FOR THAT!

This is better.

Well done, the’re are still problems too reopen the node. I can help with this if you want. Mayby we can creat a level together contact me on msn. ( Next time use trigger 31? )

ROOMS: nice. very nice. baths, beds and other stuff are nice
PINBALL: bah, pinball is too hard and boring. remove it and do something else to it.
ROLLERCOASTERS: good good good. the rollercoasters are one best places in this lvl!

OVERALL: great level, _jaws!
