Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Although I could rate this, I think I’d rather file a complaint instead (at least just for now). I don’t think it was a good idea on your part to take away the background tiles in your final version of Wasteland. Just because some people didn’t like it that doesn’t mean nobody used it. Some people had a lot of trouble hosting one of my levels because they replaced their 50KB Wasteland tileset with the 39KB version which came with the EA pack, thus causing the level to give them Access Violations. Not only did that bug me, but you failed to mention this fact in your description nor your readme file; you only mentioned this on your site. I think you should have just kept the larger Wasteland tileset as the official tileset since it isn’t that big and it won’t cause AV problems with any levels anyone has already made.

BùññýBèé XÐ, Dxdc: Darnit I said don’t review the example levels, I hope it didn’t affect the score.
Dxdc: this isn’t my first tileset, I don’t have or want PSP and I got Photoshop.
BloodRabbit: it actually isn’t so easy when you start using the cave background. Other than that it’s pretty straight forward.

(Content removal. You know what they were talking about, or at least I hope. It is not the guns that are being objected to. See my private message regarding the manner. -Trafton)[This review has been edited by Trafton AT] Ok, Traft, you’re worse than Derby darnit! I really thaught it was the rifles and I couldn’t let them go. The sheep was replaced yesterday just I forgot to re-upload heh.[This review has been edited by Michael]

——EDIT——
NOBODY, 6.0 is way to low I think you are over-reacting…you think the trees should be masked? well I didn\‘t, this isn\‘t relativly to blade or how you\‘d make a tileset! an what the hell does it matter the arrangement of tiles? you make your own arrangement in the level!
Yes I am mad, I had the worst morning in the holiday today, and I am given a bad rating over bs….[This review has been edited by Michael]

Alright, let me try my hand at reveiwing a tileset.

Quality: A little more smoothe than Blade, less detailed then Disguise.
6.0

Land: Very flat. There are no slopes. Only one varity of land. Rather boring. One good point, you arn’t missing any peices.
-slopes -boring = 5.0

Stuff: Missing: Tubes, Belts, and H poles.
-3 = 7.0

Blocks: Forgot all the weapon specific destruct blocks execpt for bouncers. The ones this has were drawn like blade does his.
- Weapon specific, + Blade = 5.0

Usable: The tiles are somtimes pixels off, but mess around with the order and you can make it look nice.
-Pixals, +They DO fit = 7.0

Masks: I see no bugs in the masks, although you should have masked some part of the trees.
-Trees = 9.0

Tile Placement: Rather scattered. I had to try mutiple times to get the mountains to work, and I’m not sure if thats even how it’s suposed to work. The signs and blocks are all tossed around, and the main ground doesn’t line up perfectly by itself.
-Scattered * 5 = 5.0

Size: It is a bit small. I would expect for a tileset this size to have less varations of the same floor tile and more of everything you missed.
-stuff = 5.0

Eyecandy: Well, there are two trees, small background hills, and interior dirt. The change of sprite colors in the night version is cool.
-forground eyecand -sprite layer eyecandy -animations +nice pallet = 4.0

Asthetic: (My bias) Nice try, but I would go back to making stuff like Crypt. I know you can do better, i’ve seen it.
6.0

Total: (6.0 + 5.0 + 7.0 + 5.0 + 7.0 + 9.0 + 5.0 + 5.0 + 4.0 + 6.0) / 10 = 5.9 ~ 6.0

(stupid smiley, isn’t it??)

anyway, rating is 7.2!

i agree with taz.

Good job but Its too small, so i cant rate this as a 8. its small , and the smallness of it remover one point.
so my rating number is 7.

This is best paint tileset ive ever seen.great job, now take what you deserve a 8!

Pretty nice tileset and mask. Great for a paint tileset. Not all the tiles fit together easilly, but they do eventually. Nice job. Minimal animations, which isn’t good.

(Content removal. While this is not against the rules, the content that it points to is, so I would rather it not be pointed out until the tileset is reuploaded without it. -Trafton)[This review has been edited by Trafton AT]

Nice tileset! good work, the levels are good to, but with some bugs, all with all, a very nice 8.0!

Good level good eyecandy funny things and good gameplay. Ammo placement was good maybe too many powerups but you can need it in battle levels. download recommendation because I like the tileset and it is good. Edit: A 8.7 seems to be too high for this level, I will give an 8.2 now.[This review has been edited by da man]

This is a nice tileset. It is easy to use. It looks really nice. Make more tilesets lke this. I really like it. I give this a 8.0.

It’s easy to use, but looks good too, I like the sucker tubes and the background gives it a feeling like you’re stranded on an island.
A 7.7 will do. (:
Don’t wanna drink that milk….

A nice tileset

gameplay:good
Colors:good
backround:nice

and i like the falling star :)

and why a milk in the ground :D

i give it a 7

INTRO: well , its an a new race level by Dx dc.Seems that you’re getting good with race levels, becasue they get better and better every time when you make a new one.
Pros: no pros given
Cons: no cons given
Rating:NA

Tileset use:This race level uses swamps of the sleeping jaguar (day) tileset by Agama,and i can say that i didnt like the way how author used this tileset, because there were lot eyecandy bugs, especially in the ground,where you used root tiles, instead of the black one.(i hope you guys know what i mean.)Horewer, layer 5 was used right.(those leaves.)
Pros:Leaves in layer 5
Cons:Very bad in some places.
Rating:6

Eyecandy:All what i wrote on section “Tileset use” goes also on here (eyecandy bugs, etc.)But , i liked those wooden letters what did say “DX” and afterall, my decision is that there are more good eyecandy, than bad.
Pros:Good eyecandy mostly.
Cons:Ground tiles are wrongly built.
Rating:6.5

Originality:This level is very original, but only because its a remake form TSF race level number one…..
but still its original.
Pros:Original…..
Cons:Remake form TSF race level number one……
Rating:7

Gameplay:Well…Like i said before, this is an a remake ,so Dx builded this like TSF’s first race levels, gameplay is quite nice, horewer its also boring…
Pros:Nice gameplay…
Cons:Boring also……
Rating6.5

Event/food/goodie/enemy placement:
Again i must say that its an a remake so you just putted same weapons on same palces, or at least you tried.
Pros:Good , but you dindt design it.
Cons:Remake, again……
Rating:6.5

Overall:Its a good race level , even its a remake.good luck with your next level!
Rating:7

4? :(

I hate you MoonBlaze. Yes You suck. Yes this is an attack. Because your tilesets always pwned ;). I like your bg and clouds (how did you manage to make those? Thats the reason why i dislike you. You do everything better than me ;p) Anyway, a really really good tileset. The not-many-tiles give the tileset ease-of-use. and 8.0 from me. The grass looks like a bag of pwn. I like the overall theme of it too. Good Job moonblaze. An 8.0 from me, you deserve it.

Hey! How many of you noticed i said an 8.0 from me 2 times? Yay for stupid me.[This review has been edited by spazzyman]

GRAPHICS : GOOD / VERY GOOD
The graphics are very nice looking, and the color choice is cool. You should’ve included a dark textured background, like the one in Haunted House. It’d be nice if you made a day version, too. If this was all ready day, it wouldn’t be as neccasary to include a night, but you should usually make it so people are not forced to make it night. I can’t say I like the slopes, but they are nice, and original. Sort of Hocus Pocus style, if you’ve ever played the game. The clouds are simply the most wonderful clouds ever created by man, or moose. The moon is okay. A 64×64 moon in the set would be nice (2 tiles x 2 tiles). If there was a day version, you could put a 64×64 sun so you can make it go over the water horizon, so it looks like sunset (or sunrise). The blocks are very hard to see, and they are purple, which doesn’t look good with the tileset. It’s good that you didn’t rip them, though. I like the style, you just have to look really closely to see them. The “cave” tiles aren’t my favorite, either, but they bear a lot of eyecandy tiles, which is all ways nice. It’s diamondus style, sort of. Lots of eyecandy, and you can make slopes in the wall. You included plenty of stars, so the sky can have lots of variation. The waterfalls should’ve been darker. They look like they belong in a broad daylight tileset. They look indeed very nice when animated, but we’re not going to get to the animations yet. The signs are nice, and not ripped. Upward slopes for the bottoms of the main building tiles would be nice (if you don’t know what I mean… too bad ;p Like the slopes in Diamondus that go on the bottoms of the terrain, not the grass slopes… never mind, I can’t explain). Anyway, as for the spikes, I think you should’ve made one spike tile without blood on them, and one with blood. If you make a big area with spikes, it’s not good to have blood on so many of the needles. It looks too repetitive (sp?). A transition tile between the grass tiles with dirt under them and the grass tiles that are just kind of floating is not present… as far as I know. I couldn’t find one.
MASKING : VERY GOOD
There is nothing wrong with the mask.
COMPATABILITY : VERY BAD
This is where a lot of tilesets get points taken off. Compatability refers to if poles work, if water works in 8bit, if pinball events work, etc. Also, if snow looks nice. Heaven doesn’t have a lot of this, and nobody really noticed.. if I could edit my review of it (for some reason, I can’t), I would change it from 10.0 to 9.0 because of this. Anyway, poles do not work here. I’m afraid I might have to take off some for this. Carrotus poles and jungle poles would be nice to see. Water in 8bit mode does not work. Water can be very neccasary here, being that this is an island tileset. Lots of people with slow computers use 8bit, and they like the water to look nice. It looks like toxic slime here, which is cool in the right situations. The pinball events don’t work, either. The 500 bump looks cool, but this way, of course, unintentional. In tilesets like this, pinball events really aren’t too neccasary, since this isn’t a futuristic type tileset. Pinball events are a must in Tubelectric, Sirius, etc. I wouldn’t expect to see a pinball event in a set like this, so I’ll go easy and not take anything off.
ANIMATIONS : GOOD
The animations here are minimal, but they are still very nice. The waterfalls look cool. The lightning animation is a bit corny, but I really wouldn’t find much of a reason to use it, anyway. It doesn’t look all that good non-animated, anyway. I don’t really understand how the moving cloud animation should work, so I’ll leave it alone. As for the bug, it looks very smooth and nice for a 3 frame animation. Good job. ;p I don’t know how the shooting star animtion works, either, but it looks nice.
EASE OF USE : VERY GOOD
This tileset is very easy to use, and it still manages to look nice.
OVERALL : GOOD / VERY GOOD
The graphics are nice, and so is the masking, but the compatability is teh sux.

Download reccomendation.

007, tilesets do not have gameplay. That’s for levels.[This review has been edited by labratkid]

MAJOR FLAW! The dark grey tile that goes under the big clouds isn’t placed properly, meaning there is a visible black line. -.1, but it still rounds up to 7.2.[This review has been edited by labratkid]
