Ok first, the level has a pit that goes nowhere which would leave a player helpless and stuck for the rest of the race : -5
Second, bees in race… doens’t work on the internet, unless you use those glitchy programs which are just that glitch : -2
The level is very short no weapons lack of original eyecandy :-3
The level design doesn’t look ugly: +2
SO I’ll rate this a generous 2 :D.
OK. Level by Bjarni. Again. I think it is good… Only what you want, there isn’t. OK. GOOD? Boring, bad level design. Eyecandy is average, and this is not originally, but…
This is level by Bjarni, who don’t know…
SMALL!!
its only small, the rest is nice.
nice eyecandy
nice ammo placed
nice carrots
rating from me an 8
What Labratkid said.
Hard to make? i dont think so. you just have to convert jazz 1 menu music to j2b with modj2b or what it name was, and then rename it as menu.j2b im not gonna rate this yet.
I want to give you a 12, but it can’t :D
How informative, Snooz.
This level is actually not that bad, it’s just let down by a few minor stuff. Things. Yeah.
The whole level is symmetrical. This can or can not be a good thing, but here it works out alright. The design is good enough, you can get around the level easily enough, but the flow could be improved – there were a few platforms placed just to be annoying.
The eyecandy is good – it uses the default Damm backgrounds and music. I liked the way the black tiles were used as a ‘background’ to make it a bit less repetitive. Good on the whole, though.
The weapon placement, however, drops the level down a bit. There’s a lot of ammo pickups, placed in clever enough places. However, there’s a lot of fastfires, but everything has a respawn time of 7 seconds, so getting a full fastfire is easier done than said. Having a full fastfire is powerful, the player needs to earn it. There weren’t any powerups either.
On the whole, not a bad level. Download it if you want, although there’s better out there.[This review has been edited by Shen]
Yuh, me too. This is very nice for your first level. The eye-candy all works, you seem to have got the hang of the layers. Different tiles are used, ridding the grid effect. You could make layers 6 and 7 move a bit slower, though.
The weapons placement is a bit of a letdown, though – spread them out, don’t clutter them up in various places. Don’t use the Ice powerup, it’s seldom used anyway.
The gameplay is good, and the flow is nice. It’s easy enough to get around the level. I didn’t hear any music, though.
Download recommendation? Yes, this is worth a look. Host it once or twice maybe.
Firstly, congratulations on not making this warez. It’s one of the least warezziest levels I’ve ever seen. Well done.
Race levels are seldom made, and for a reason. Most people find races unexciting compared to Battle and CTF. Also, there’s a lack of good race levels. This one adds to the junk pile.
Violet is right, all you need to do is put Caps Lock on and hold right. You’ll run fast enough to avoid most of the obstacles, jump over a pit, miss some spikes, and lose a heart on the warp.
The bees take up most of this level. The kind that kills you in races. Not great. There’s a lot of them, most people wouldn’t be bothered to shoot any. All you do is run right until you warp, such speedloops like this aren’t amazing for races.
I hope you’re not expecting good eyecandy now. This uses Diamondus, and all of the tiles are the same. They all fit together perfectly, but this offers nothing new, it’s just boring. There’s even two tiles missing from the big pit that could be a warp, but no, it’s just two tiles missing.
To improve: Add some eyecandy tiles, a few less bees, and make it less linear. Bend the track about a bit. Don’t use Hurt events, warp the player back to the start. No download recommendation.
This race level was very bad, and i give 3 reasons why:
- bees,bees,bees and just more bees………..
-boring eyecandy , every tile is same…..
-its just boring, and you just have to run…………
Okay, i hope those reasons are good enough to rate this as 2.7…..[This review has been edited by snooz]
Actually, Violet, if you have enough speed, you don’t have to EVER jump. ;p
What Violet said, basically, here. I’ll add some points for decent eyecandy and originality.
And since it’s not warez.
;p
Just kidding about the warez. ITS WAREZ!!!! ITS JUST LIKE (somesite.com)!!! GO THERE NOW!!!!!!!!! :P L33T WAREZ!!!

Bjarni, I was just kidding. Why would this be warez? [This review has been edited by labratkid]
How to complete a lap in this level:
1. Hold down right and run the whole time.
2. At one point in the level, just before the first hole, press jump.
Congratulations! You have now completed a lap, and lost one heart while warping. Repeat the above steps once you’re done warping, and you’ll have completed another lap!
Get the picture? This race isn’t too long, and it uses (basically) bees as the sole obstacle. Well, there’s a pit, and some spikes, but mainly the bees.
“Bees”, you say? Yes, bees. Read the author’s description. The type that will kill you in race mode, which this just happens to be. Race, not treasure hunt-online-compatible-race. And thus there are bees as enemies. No, please.
Ok, so there are bees. How about the graphics?
Well, this level gives tile repetition a new name. Every wall tile is the same, every ground tile is the same, every cave tile is the same. Well, not every ground tile, there’s a stump and a lot of rabbit stinks signs, which only serve to show the monotony of the other tiles in greater relief.
Eyecandy? Sorry, just the signs. Nothing in the background except a textured layer 8, and there’s just enough dimming of ambient lighting to slow down JJ2, but not enough to be really noticable.
This is, of course, a race level, so I won’t rate the enemy placement, despite it being the main point of the level. Sorry, Bjarni. Try for another point next time. No download recommendation.
(On the plus side, this is indeed not warez!)
Edit: Good gosh, you’re right. You don’t have to jump. Make that 2.0.[This review has been edited by Violet CLM]
I’m really sorry, but when you are playing in race mode, you are invincible, so all the bees could do would just stop you for 1.5 seconds. Even so, they would only target player.
PLEASE USE THE REUPLOAD FUNCTION
Uhhh, I don’t think its right to rate a demo but if I were to rate it I would give it a 9.0
The first level completly stunned me, it was a brand new concept and I was expecting much more of this pack just after that first pit. Sadly, the levels to come didn’t shock me that much. The second level was a standard train level, I have plenty of these. The 3rd level on the otherhand, that really shocked me. A floating rock, heh I felt like I was in a mario game. The 4th level was kind of blah nothing new here, same with the 5th level, but still, it was a great level pack.
Pros-
DIFFICULT.
Some original stuff.
All around great level design.
Cons-
It didn’t meet up to the bar that the first level set.
Lack of vertical play in some levels.
my rating is removed.
if dis an demo its very big.
if i may give an rating i will give an 9[This review has been edited by dx dc]!
