Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Ok this is the final straw, I’m not downloading any more of my own past levels as they’re all fucking terrible.

This has the exact same problems as my other levels, too many enemies, and the boss battle is too easy as the seekers there keep responding.

Ugh, the levels I made were just painful. Since I wanna have a good time I won’t be reviewing any more of my levels or even downloading them.

I know giving this level the rating 10 might be a bit overboard, but this is truly a perfect level in my opinion, I see no issue with it.

It takes a long time to finish it, and the placement of the enemies is perfect, so is the eye candy, I loved fighting all these monsters.

My favorite part of the level is when I had to find a couple of crates to unlock the next crate, that was so fun.

I did check the original version, and not only is it not finished, it feels like it barely even started.

As for this level it’s beyond awesome, I love every aspect of it. I can’t think of anything negative to say.

I’m reviewing my own levels so I can learn from the pat.

First off I’m gonna tell you what I think of the title, remember with me? Remember with me? The title alone shows laziness, it’s nothing but a bunch of levels from previous levelpacks put into one.

Welcome to Garden:
You are given seekers right on the fly, which proves laziness. Instead of having seekers throughout the level there is one by the beginning. But the biggest problem is the level is far too short, it doesn’t even take a minute to finish it.

Marinated Rabbit:
There is nothing going on in this level, absolutely nothing. Just a few fish and some dialog about Hercules? He has nothing to do with Atlantica, I wish I could comment on the text, but the grammar is so horrendous that it’s incomprehensible.

Super Spaz Bros:
This looks like a Mario game, and I can give the level credit for that, but it’s still way too easy to beat, and the worst part is there is a warp to bonus level that goes nowhere. You should have removed that from the level when you made this pack.

Hell Demo:
There is no point to this except reaching the boss. But seriously, you expect me to beat two of them? That’s too much. And the eye candy isn’t even that good.

A Cold Day in Heck:
The placement of enemies here is massive. Far too massive, seriously there shouldn’t be that many enemies at the same point of the level. And it’s also far too short.

Pokemon World
I will give this level credit for one thing, at least the Pokémon look cool, and PokéDex entries are pretty cool as well. But the grammar in the PokéDex entries are horrible. Oh and that bug with the boss makes the level impossible to beat.

Overall this is terrible levelpack, I do think I need to review the other levels I made in the past as well. Reviewing own content might be bad, but I think it’s necessary if I’m learning from past mistakes, which I am intending to.

This consists of nothing but empty levels that only have bosses. I seriously gotta ask what’s the point of this?

There is nothing to do but fight boss monsters. No weapons, just the boss.

And not to mention the lazy level design is so unpleasing to look at.

This would have worked if there were any tips on how to beat the bosses. Then it’d be proper training, but no I don’t get any of that.

This is my first review since 2004, and probably the first PROPER review I make. Anyway, I will talk about the gameplay but first I’m gonna talk about the looks of the level.

It looks great, it looks exactly like the Carrot levels in the main game, which isn’t a problem I love that.

But now for the gameplay. In all three levels there are a lot of paths to choose. It’s not straight forward in fact if you go a different path, you get different items, which I find great. And each level take around 15 minutes to beat, which is reasonable.

And the third level is very hard, which is great since I love a good challenge and this level has that for sure. But there is one big problem I have, and this is a major one that needs to be addressed. Early on in the third level when going up, there is a chance you can get stuck in the wall. And it’s impossible to off the walls without cheating or loading a save stage. Which is a bad thing because I wanna play legitimately.

Another issue that I have is the fact that all the text was in Hungrian. And google translate didn’t help much as it gave improper grammar, not your fault, Google Translate is a bad program. But could you next time maybe make an English version as well?

Overall this level is pretty awesome, and you did a good job with it. These problems I mentioned might be major, but I still had a lot of fun with the level overall.

Dilapidation is (as said in description) a small battle level, and to my surprise a near perfect practical example of what Plus 5.x features can do to both atmosphere and gameplay.

But first let’s look at the gameplay value. The layout can roughly be divided into 2 height levels and 3 sections. The center section is a scripted ferris wheel that turns around at a speed calculated by the position and duration of players standing on it, which works as expected by common physics and gives a fresh twist to the level. The left section has a pinball paddle and bumper ‘balloon’ that helps players move to the upper part while evading their opponent, and the right has a hounted cave. The bottom has water but is used lightly to create small pools containing extra seekers (but not so much to become a seekfest). PU’s are a Toaster (upper left), Bouncer (lower middle), and RF (lower right). All 3 sections have a 1h carrot too which are about opposite of the PU positions, which is plenty for a duel level and forces players to move around instead of merely camping PU’s. Maybe the right corner (or right cave entrance for that matter) can be a little campy at times, but I’m by no means a duelling pro and overall it seems to me like a pretty balanced level.

Next let’s take a look at the eyecandy. First thing noticable are the lightning strikes that finally feel more like natural lightning as seen from a distance. Instead of turning the entire screen white like we know (and most of us despise) from earlier levels, it uses (I think) ambient light to blend a more transparent light in with the textured background. I also liked the silhouette crows flying in circles at 2 points in the background mountains. Next there’s a creepy clown (aren’t all clowns?) selling the ferris wheel ride as if he were a Coin Bunny, swinging vines that are colored to act like decaying rollercoaster foundation, and transparent enemy sprites decorating the haunted cave. There are some more smaller changes (like colored water, 4 custom sounds, etc) but these were the most profound. Lastly, the music is the classic Spire theme from Unreal, which sounds depressing and fits the eery theme of the level.

So there you have a fairly standard yet balanced battle level that wouldn’t really stand out from it’s equivalents if it weren’t for it’s groundbreaking AngelScript usage. I can’t say how much of the balance remains outside of duels, but I’m sure it can be a fun choice for small teams or maybe even small events. Download recommended and a 9 for the balance, atmosphere, and AngelScript efforts!

this level is corrupt!!!!!!!!!!

The art style is CakeLand, where the rabbits love cakes and pie.
There are sucker tubespipes that are similar to candles, also the propellers;
There’re blocks, vines, hook and a layout similiar from ground.

DR?Yes!!

Well, looks like you aimed to make something similar to the original levels. However, your remake is very specifical. I’ll speak mainly about the third level as it is the most problematic in my opinion.

Firsly, the original levels always had an obvious path to follow while in your levels the search of the exit from closed areas takes 90% of the time, wich is really tiring and annoying. I even don’t want to mention that these exits’ placement is really unpredictable partially cause all the hints are in Hungarian…
Secondly, level design. It’s not bad, but still inferior to original… The platforms have ripped edges wich doesn’t look pleasant. As for the tilebugs. I was stuck into the wall when I jumped into a float-up area in 9*37 in the last level.
Thirdly, the music of the third level doesn’t sound good… It’s like playing tetris, not JJ2.

Now, to the upsides. The difficulty is OK. The placement of secrets is great! I failed to collect all the coins in each level, but mainly cause I was tired of this gameplay. I also liked how rabbit smashes the wall after he is affected by a spring.

To sum it up I’d say that the levelpack is challenging, but too tiring to get a download recommendation…

Te egy isten vagy! :D Ezt kerestem! :)))p

This chapter is much better than the previous one. I mean “Urdung Levels Castle Chapter”. You’ve became a more experienced levelmaker.
First two levels seemed to be pretty easy, just a little bit harder than original ones, however the third level was much harder, but I managed to complete the chapter whithout dying despite of being not a very good player :D
I liked some of your original decisions- gem stomp hidden under blocks , blocks that can be destroed only if you capture a copter and blocks you have to climb on to reach a higher place, pits that warp you to the certain place in front of them, needles you have to go through even when you encounter a boss. And there are many other things I wouldn’t bother to list. The secret placement is exellent. I still didn’t manage to gain all the coins.

There are also some drawbacks, of course. But they aren’t critical.

1) Language.
There are tons of hints but all of them are in Hungarian. If the information is useful, please, traslate them into English!
2) Recolors.
As far as I understood you used tilesets made by someone else. I like the variety of additional tiles but the recolor of the tileset used by third level isn’t succesful as for me… It’s almost the same as Carrotus Night but simply darker… Objects also change their colors. You can easily change the colors in Photoshop, but don’t touch first 96 of them- they are objects’ colors! Or it’s even easier to make recolors with Angel Script.

Good job! I’m looking forward the new chapters!

This is a really great mutator! Nowadays people mostly play ctf/duels, tests or chat around. For the last one this is a really nice addition since many times the trivia end up in hilarious idiotic situations where people randomly guess the answer or fail on one letter.

Some ideas that could be added are:

- Create a sepparate “gamemode” out of this where you can see the question in your screen, the time remaining for the question, the amount of letters/hints and a highscore,etc. You can see this all in the chat now so this is basically a visual upgrade.

- Some option that allows more people to get points by answering the question right. For example, show the right answer and give points only after 5 people guess it correct or don’t show an answer when noone got it right. Points could be either equal or given according to who answered first, but it’s a bit more fair for those who can’t answer that quickly.

- A team mode where the team gains points (and perhaps it’s also possible to see your score within your team). So suckers like me won’t have to lose all the time x)

Again, this is a great mutator and I thank sal for making it ;)

I like to answer questions by playing online.
I give this a 9!

This tileset is happy, nice and colorful.

[Review changed to quick review, see the review rules.

While this conversion does make a few important mask fixes and adds some useful tiles, the new palettes are incredibly dull. Gone are the funky, psychedelic colors that defined the original set; this conversion replaces them with monochrome shades of blue/grey. They look decent on their own, but greatly detract from the theme of the set.

This level is old, but gold. It already is a pain in the ass to create a decent map out of tileset but man you did it! This map suits 3v3’s and upwards. A duel or 2v2 would take quite some time but still works perfect. Download? Yea, you’d better download this oldie!

Another good map by DarkSonic. The layout is what you would expect from him (If you have seen his previous works) which is good. Eyecandy is a bit different from what we have seen from him. I have playtested this and it’s also an enjoyable map.
The only downside was that there were some minor flow issues. Still, a nice and enjoyable map! DR? Yeah!

Thanks for the review :)

Wow, never thought one of my levels would inspire anyone, let alone one of my first ones. Glad to hear you liked them. I’m 21 now, so I would probably be able to be more creative with level making as of now. I’ll probably give it a try sometime in the future.
