Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Aquatic Dungeon 3: The eyecandy was overdone and confusing at times, but it looked ok and a bit strange. The water shouldnt have been there, but then the level would lose the point of it. Still, you shouldnt have made the player be able to touch the water, looks kinda screwy and hardto see.Layout could use more work but its ok. As far as I could tell the level had a mask around it (invisible tiles), but im not sure a one tile mask will prevent the flag bug. I also got stuck in the red shield tower (and in the same place in the blue shield tower) and found out ive stumbled onto a layer 3 hidden shield (or justan invisible one) and used TNT to escape being trapped and grabbed the shield. Having 2 shields freely lying in a level isnt good, especially when they are poorly placed. I’ve barely found the shield and found it by luck, and what if I hadnt any TNT with me, would I have been stuck forever? Not too good..

Stronghold showdown arena:
Firstly, why does this level have a width of around 738 tiles, when it doesnt use around half of them? Some interestingly creativly used tiles, and there is a mask around the level (some parts consisting of invisible tiles), and there are to many one tiled high hard to get through passages. therr were also a few dead ends. I dont know why the author has included an airboard, but oh well.

My final rating is a 7. I might have given this a 7.7, but the 9 is overated.

The levels do probably require teamwork, and its like soccer or football(having forwards a.k.a ones who go for the opponents flag, defences who defend their base and midfeilders who wander about in the center of the level. Because of this, i will give the levels 7.2 instead. Teamwork CTf levels are good and strategic, they get you thinking more than normal CTf levels do. I would of rated this higher, but there are some cons which force me to lower my mark. Like ChickenKiller said, this is definately not crap, and worth a download reccomendation.

Very usefull program.
ONLY FOR MULTIPLAYER!!!

Design: 40 %

cough not 1.23 cough

Can you even make 1.23 tilesets? I would be willing to help…

^^Original Review by BlurredD
I Agree with him.

Can`t you say that this is made withe the TSF JCS (at least?)
You`re two example levels are good….
I wait for the time somebody here makes a program which is making TSF tilesets v1.23 compatible. (I think I`m dead when this is really)

So, back to you`re Pack…

LEVELS: Good

TILESET: I just see it in you`re levels
(I have TSF but i use the 1.23 JCS because my TSF JCS always crash)
so i think it`s really good.

I`t can be a 9 but i give you a 8 Because it`s JUST TSF.

I like JJ1.
I like JJ1 Tilesets.
So Of Course.
This Tileset.
Gets A.
Good Rating.

Jazz Jackrabbit 1 Forever

Indeed, a very linear level. There is some eyecandy, very few ammo(with a generator of about 5 seconds, which I hate in battle levels), and two power-ups at the end of a long straight path… booorriiing!… Really not nice to battle in. Also, those blocks at the start that change color… it makes me mad really. Some people(me for example)can’t take that kinda stuff. It makes them tired, mad, crazy or sometimes a little depressive(i’m not kiddin’ by saying this). Since i’m in a generous mood today, you’ll get a 2.2 from me. [This review has been edited by Waz]

Removed my review since it was inappropriate and unhelpful.

The reason this pack takes up so much space is that it includes two music files, one of which is just huge, and the other of which is large. The credits level (which seems to be some sort of impersonation of the Cartoon Episode by Satan (or Lost Vikings Somethingorother)’s credits) says “Music choice by Jersey Devil”.
Anyway, the main feature of this .zip is the single player level, using “the cartoon tileset” by Satan. The author doesn’t use it all that well, and as a result, the level looks even worse then the best that can be done with this tileset. Everything is either layers 4 or 8, and layer 8 consists of light blue with white circley shapes (clouds).
So what’s the level like? Medium sized (good size for a first level) straight fowardness. You fight a few enemies, avoid a few spikes (some of which have the wrong event… never use “hurt” on sideways spikes), and even have to be careful in some places. The level switches between the factory and outdoors areas of the tileset, and uses a few tiles from each of them.
I have no idea what the music was like, as I don’t care for music myself and don’t bother to turn it on if I happen to be playing with it off.
The best parts of this level? Where you climb up on destruct scenery (taken from “the cartoon episode”), and the place where there are actually two paths.. admittedly one is a trick dead end.
While it’s fairly good for a first level, it’s not all that good.. oh, and please choose a different tileset if you plan to make a level.

My speed of connection doesn’t allow me to download this file, other people may have the same problems, so try to decrease the size, if it’s possible.
(though i haven’t rights to tell you this, ‘cause my level pack takes 1.4mb:D)

Hmmm…..Its hard to rate this.

The set itself looks cartoonish, not much texture. I dont really like the snow, but its ok. Different settings and all that, but some tiles are left out. Some cool animations, but like i said before, the main tiles are missing, which takes a big chunk away from the mark. The color is pretty good, and its ok.

Bah, it seems that I cannot compise a long review on this. Ill just end after the sentence im about to say. The tileset is ok, but its nothing really special, download it if you want, we dont have many ice age sets (But we have tons of snowy sets). Well, my review ends here…..right here…..at the end of this sentence…period…(everyone gasps (simpson ripoff))

Ok, since EvilMike said most of the stuff in his review, i will keep mine short.

Firstly, good choice of music, it’s very atmospheric. The level is creative, and frequently reminds me of a jungle or a rainforest, which is good, because thats what its suppose to be. One of my complaints about this level is that sometimes the passages are to small and narrow. I also didnt like the top left and right corners. There is a hole, which I thought was a suckertube or a warp, but it was actually a spring bouncing you back up(hidden FullNRG as well, at first i didnt notice since i had full life. This is considered a small dead end, and could of been fixed by having a suckertube or a warp leading elsewhere. Also, Jazz tends to have a bigger advantage because of the free open areas available for flying across. Thankfully, there are some tiles coming out of the ceiling which prevents jazz from hovering across the hole level left to right or vice versa. There are somne interestingly hidden sucker tubes above the window ledges that shoot you up like a cannon.. I have found a few minor tile errors, but ill ignore those. One thing was on the top right where the toaster ammo+15 on the one wayed ledge, i sometimes found it quite difficult getting out of there, a oneway on top could of done thetrick. Bases were placed ok.

Also, why was this level passworded. I do have the special anti pass program, but you should of included the password in a readme or just not icluded it at all so people can look more closely at your level. Anyways, there was some useless, hidden text, but it was fun to find and read. Also, i was searching for the warp evilmike mentioned, and it was in position 163,86 :P The warp is almost impossible to find unless you know where it is, and the chance of you turning is highly unlikely, but possible if you know where the warp leads you and are trying this on purpose.

My overall statement about this is that its a fun level which reminds me of the jungle, and its good to play if youre bored. Not in my top 10 list, but still fun to play. Ill give it a download reccomendation.

So much for the short review :P
~Blackraptor a.k.a Blacky
Edit: Forgot rating :P. Ill give it a 7.5, seeing its good in most parts, and only has a few bugs. Not as low as EvilMike, not as high as everyone else (which in my opinion overated this)

STORY: The story, as far as I can make it out, is that rabbits lost their ability to breed in a nuclear war, so now they clone themselves. However, someone called Ivan Somethingorother did something to the clones (I forgot what) and now they’re evil. You, being Jazz, have to stop this. Of course, that’s just the start of the story – later the author forgets about this entirely and it turns into random single player levels, with objectives such as finding christmas presents and entering dungeons. At the very end, you fight Devan, then become one with the universe and see an angel.
Pros: Interesting story.
Cons: Doesn’t have much to do with the levels, kind of same old.
Rating: 7.0

TILESETS/TILESET USE: The author uses almost all of the official tilesets (including Easter, Town and Haunted House) in at least one time of day. Also Mez01 and 02. With the exceptions of Carrotus and Easter, the tileset use is brilliant, and you may find yourself stopping still too look at things.
Pros: VERY well done, new and inventive tile uses.
Cons: Carrotus and Easter have lots of tile bugs, Medivo has some problems (like the rain), the new and inventive tile uses aren’t always good, a few masking problems (like in Castle).
Rating: 8.5

WEAPON/ITEM/ENEMY PLACEMENT: The pack doesn’t do quite as well in this field as in some others. Both enemies and items (paticularly food) are overused, and you may find yourself needing the second sugar rush. In several levels, enemies (paticularly skeletons) and food generate, so you shouldn’t have too much to worry about – unless you can’t find the way out and wander around.
Pros: Enough goodies and ammo to keep you going, some nice enemy uses.
Cons: A little too much of everything.
Rating: 7.0

ORIGINALITY: Some parts of this pack feast on originality, some are the same old thing. For example, the Castle level is very cool (despite having nothing apparent to do with the plot), while Jungle feels very seen-it-before.
Pros: Some things are incredibly original, and I must say I’ve never seen a religious pack before.
Cons: Some things are very ordinary.
Rating: 8.7

DIFFICULTY: Pretty hard. This gets kind of annoying at times, when you find yourself wading through a huge army of generating skeletons, or when you’re inside a huge area trying to find enough coins to continue.
Pros: Not applicable.
Cons: Not applicable.
Rating: 7.2

REPLAY VALUE: Like many of the fields in this pack, some parts of it have good replay value, some you wouldn’t want to see again.
Pros: Some parts are rather fun.
Cons: Some parts aren’t, feeding off of difficulty and lack of good tileset use.
Rating: 7.0

OVERALL (not an average): This is a VERY good and long pack, which should take you quite some time.
Pros: Long, good tileset use, high originality.
Cons: As anyone who has played it will tell you, this pack is FULL of profanity. After a few levels, I began to get the feeling the author does not even know what most of it means. I won’t give examples, but right before you fight Bolly.. gah. And there’s other weird stuff, like the Rabbit/Turtle marrige, and the lack of recognizable plot. And the religious part gets overdone.
Rating: 8.5

Average rating 7.7. If you remove the profanity (immature taunts), and lower the amount of enemies a bit, this rating will be doubtless raised. This pack has incredible potential, as does the author(s?)

Edit: This has nothing to do with the rating, but I thought it was interesting.. in the Haunted House level, there are three tombstones. One is for Jazz, a great rabbit. One is for Spaz, whose distinction is “Jazz’s Brother”. Wasn’t Jazz supposed to be a clone? And the third is for Lori, who is “Jazz and Spaz’s girlfriend”.

I don’t like this. You’re not very good in making levels. If I could give it a 0, I would do that…
