Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

This sure is interesting concept. Even though creating new tiles in-game is little clumsy in jj2.

Fun fact.: You can possibly get stucked in your own tile if you move while placing block.

fantastic level

pillars confused me a bit but otherwise i love it

It had been quite a long time ago for me to play some “home cooked” JJ1 Levels. I found this pack on JJ2Online and decided to try it.
I started to play and I was actually pretty surprised of that custom planet approaching screen of Carrotus! I really liked that and being extra motivated I started to play the first Carrotus level. When I started to play, I mentioned the great eyecandy! You really worked hard on it and I was 100% convinced that I would give you a high score for this pack on JJ2Online!
Sadly enough I thought that way too soon. The first Carrotus level was very frustrating for me to play. Especially because you always have to look around you before going anywhere. You’ve even mentioned us in the level description (“Look Before You Leap”), but that still doesn’t guarantee you won’t get hurt. I think that’s really bad for a JJ1 Level! In JJ1 you’re actually supposed to run fast, so it is really important that the levels are designed so that you can do a smooth run though them!
Overall it was really difficult, especially those shooting hoppers (birds) are very annoying. I really wanted to have more carrots in the stage. But either way: I eventually made my way out and got on to the second Carrotus level.
And now on for the worst part. I really feel bad about that second Carrotus level! I’m frustrated and even quite angry about how it was build, because there was NO WAY OUT of the cave for me! I tried to skip the level using the lamer cheat, but it didn’t work for me. Luckily I saw PT32’s comment about the air board in his review. I finally got out of the cave, reached the checkpoint and was really convinced that I would reach the exit in no time. But I didn’t! The second half was too hard for me. I didn’t make it to the exit and therefore I got completely stuck! At that point I stopped playing.
Believe me when I say I am an experienced JJ1 Player (I play it for like 18 years now), so I know what to do in the game, but this pack is way to difficult to play. Believe me: if these were JJ2 Levels, it would’ve been much better.

Having played only 2 out of 6 levels I have to change my way of calculating my final rating, but here it is.

• I won’t take the eyecandy in the rating, since I haven’t seen only the 2 Carrotus levels, so I can’t rate the rest. The Carrotus levels have fantastic backgrounds though…
• Challenge/difficulty gives you 0 out of 20, since I GOT STUCK.
• Item placement gives you 7 out of 10, the items are good placed, but I reduced the rating from 10 to 7, because of insufficient carrots for such long and hard stages as these.
• Gameplay gives you 0 out of 40, lowest score possible, because… well… of all the bad things you’ve just read.

That makes it a total score of 7 out of 70.
For the final rating: 10 ÷ 70 × 9 + 1 = 2.3.
NO DOWNLOAD RECOMMENDATION!!!!!!!!!!!!

What’s that?

An amazingly designed level with a toungebreaking title.. ah really you could just name it something simpler like Jungle’s Inside or… River Potato.
Allright aside of the jokes, this is a really great looking level, the tileset is perfectly used, creating a natural jungle environment with waterfalls and a river. Astonishing, it’s so peasant to just watch the image. I think I can assume you are at the very top of making eyecandies. There are a few things in the foregorund covering a little of the played area, but I didn’t find it distracting or confusing, even though the colors aren’t really different for the playable area.
The layout is, as usual, horizontal mainly it’s balanced. (Aside of that Toaster PU isn’t as good as BNC Pu, in my opinion, so maybe it would be better if RF was swapped with Toaster. However that probably goes againt your intentions.) I learned it very fast, it’s not complicated, so it won’t be a bad point for anyone, who sees it first.
I din’t try it online but it’s not complicated and it must be good for 2v2 and 3v3 (duels are agurable) It should be an usual fight like people has in other levels, this level is quite orthodox in gameplay, what to say. I’m sorry for not trying it
All weapons are in this level (except TNT and ice but those aren’t even necessary) No seeker Pu what is a nice point. There are enough ammos spread all around. I especially like the full carrot’s area, that it’s special, it probably makes the most difference to this level from other levels.
The music is nice and soft, perfectly fitting the environment, The only thing is that the track tiself is a little short, but well, it makes the size small so it’s fine. Okay, so it’s not from necros, whatever.

I’m assured this is a really appropriate level for the contest, it definietly fits the expectations. The (for me strong) bad point is that it’s orthodox and simple in layout and gameplay. Neverthless you will have a great chance to win with it.

Nice Conversion you made one question Why didn’t you made the night version of Carrotus Diamondus?

Done some crap in the previous years, sorry about that.

7th Lava Fall (CTF Level):

Gameplay: This level is huge, the most annoying part to get back to the Red base is very hard to get. I Was searching to get at the Red Base and I done 2 warps, thats alot. Without Sucker tube and warps is impossible to get to each other. But the good thing is that level is very challenging and huge duels will be success.
base. 10/25 points

Eyecandy: Not much eyecandy. Just weird we are moving to right. That huge thing is moving to right, thats pointless. There is also something lava-like thing in the ground that is transparent. It looks very ugly. 9/25 points

Ammo placement: It has almost great Ammo Placement, but there are alot empty spaces and
WTF THERE ARE CHOCOLATES? 18/25

Bugs: I Didn’t find any bugs. 25/25

TOTAL: 10+9+18+25=62/10=6,2 – Okay, if you want CTF party with 32 players would be good, but if you plan to doing it just for 3 VS 3 or 2 VS 2, oh boy, dont do that

nice lvl

EXELENT!

It was indeed possible as Spaz with some RF jumping. I’ve fixed it now, thank you very much for reporting it so soon.

The file is fixed.so enjoy download it!

Jenny made her first level and uploaded it here.
Alright then, here we go with a review.

I want to get this of my chest first, this is overrated. Since both Master Sven and Laro B. are clanmembers of Jenny, they should at least give a review with a decent rating.

Now let’s talk about the level. The level is good, very good for your first level, you did every just fine, but the details are a bit swept away.

The level could use more eyecandy for example.
The layers 1 ,2 ,6 and 7 are completely blank. Layer 5 is barely used. I would like to see more tiles in there. Like the tileset gives. You could do anything with it, the tileset gives loads of opportunities to make something fresh new.

In spite of that, the gameplay is interesting. Few things I do not like though.
The TNT’s on the building don’t have a meaning at all. I also thought that I could pick up the gems in the start. Tried for 5 minutes before I realized there was no entrance to them at all.

Well, overall it is a good map, you spent time on it I see, and since your little experience of levelmaking, makes this a good level to play.

It’s fun, I liked to play it.

(I would like to continue my review tomorrow, since this deserves a more detailed review than this.)

EDIT: Changed the sentence a bit, maybe you will understand now what I mean.

+1 Review flame.

This is good considering this is your first level, keep JCSing and you will get better. :)

This is very good for a first level!

The gameplay is quite original and isn’t too hard either to make you stuck for hours. Some invisible walls in this level could have been done more graphically correct, but it also adds to the slightly confusing atmosphere of the level. The eyecandy is nice although I would’ve liked to see some more foreground eyecandy in the first part of the level. I recommend this for downloading for I hope many players will see this level and recognise Jenny’s JCS talent.
GJ!

Gameplay: 7,5
Eyecandy: 7,5
Originality: 7,5

Edit: A ‘decent review’ says nothing about the grade you give, Loon…

Error downloading file, sorry.

Mixed feelings about this one. I really enjoyed the tower section, the spare carrots and falling icicles. But the difficulty was too high for me. Too many spawning enemies… And the windy section was tricky. The build quality of the level was excellent though.

I sort of remember promising I’d review this, so here we go ;-).

I don’t remember playing the very first versions of this as being a very pleasant experience for some reason. Of course the artwork is nice, the chosen enemies were awesome (except for one) and the level layout is just the way I generally like it. But there was one big something that sort of put me off.

When I started playing I immediately realized that it was the difficulty that put me off in the first place. So my very first action was to go back to the main menu and load the save game for the easy difficulty instead of the medium difficulty (thanks for adding those by the way). I’m a wimp, what can I say. I managed to get through the level only losing a single life this way. The things that made my life most difficult were the trigger happy turtles, and the toaster shooters. Okay, so that’s enough about the difficulty. On to the good stuff, because the difficulty really is the only bone I could pick with it. The level actually is a lot of fun to play.

I never really adored this tileset in particular, but I love the way it looks in JJ1. You made some clever additions too to make it fit in better, like black backgrounds and the splashing waterfall. If I wouldn’t know better I probably would have guessed that it was an original. I also really like the background in this level. It is an interesting purple that fades to blueish, black and even green colors. That might sound weird, but it doesn’t distract the player. I guess most people won’t even notice it during their first run through the level.

The layout of the level is enjoyable. There’s not a huge wealth of pickups and ammo, but it’s well balanced and carrots and checkpoints are in the right places. You can tell from cooba’s style that he enjoys puzzles. There are a few hidden passages and platforms that you need to find before you can advance to the next part of the level. It also occurs a few times that cooba sends you to an area to have you pick up an item that you need to access another area in the level. I personally am a big fan of stuff like this, but I can imagine it’s not everybody’s cup of tea.

A tiny point of criticism: I thought the silver bullet enemy was kind of disappointing. Especially when you look at how much time cooba spent on all of the other sprites. This might have to do with the fact that he decided he’d rather have a level out, than have it sit on his hard drive for another two years though. It’s a tiny flaw for me, but one I can live with. I can imagine that he might not even have bothered to finish the level if he would have had to put in much more time.

Overal: if you like puzzles, Jazz1 and a bit of a challenge, I’d say go for it. Good job cooba.

Clever and cute.

No review yet? This level really deserves one, it is great. No need for many words. The eyecandy is amazing, and the level fun to play at, despite the low amount of ammo.
No bugs too, which is always nice.

Great for duels as well as bigger games, give it a try!

Bartman, your levels are very good but they are too hard for some kids (not like me) and they are mostly, excellently did on JCS and the password is secret. It has 10 letters and it begins with A and ends with Y. Some users don’t know the password but I know, because I used the password remover too early, as some people say “Don’t edit my levels” as they set the strong password, as we cannot know!

For your levels, your rating from me is 10. I say you will become an excellent level maker (Possibly near the top, as someone rated my “boss rush” 6 and says that I’m very good on level making. Very good levels, very good mind, very good creativity – continue with your lucky work in hours!

I also love the “Super Mario Brothers” tileset used in your upload. Also, it is also used in mine upload; the Boss Rush (my first upload, and we know I’m new on this website).

Earnings:

Mind: 10
Creativity: 10
Good levels: 10
Luck: 10

You got all the 10’s, as you see, and I am awaiting to make a level pack like you! Bartman, you are so awesome!

Oh my god, this level is super amazing and worth it to host! Good job White Rabbit, keep up the good work! 10! I really recommend this to be downloaded and hosted!!!
