Episode Five: The Fortress of Ruin by EvilMike
This month’s featured download goes to the close of EvilMike’s long awaited single player adventure; Episode 5 is now available from J2O! This pack consists of probably the hardest but most entertaining levels that can be found on any game of this genre, and trounces any previous single player epic by a landslide. Furthermore, the screenshots here aren’t even a clear representation of how exhillerating the pack itself actually is, I guess you just have to play it and see.
This is definately a download for the books. Download it now if you have not done so already (and then play it immediately afterwards).
A sub-mention goes to Gus with his newest tileset: Casualty Mines. This tileset boasts great artistic style and is definately different to anything seen on J2O. Take a look.
And finally, J2O now has 5555 uploads. Keep uploading and have fun =)
# Episode Five announced - June 7th 2009
Source: JCF Thread
After over a year of wait, the final part of EvilMike’s singleplayer series has been finally announced on the JCF: The Fortress of Ruin is planned to be released by the end of June.
The final confrontation with Devan Shell is near. You have traveled to the planet Nippius where it said that he hiding, but something very strange is going on there. You’re going to need to take a few detours, it seems…
This is by far the longest episode, and personally I feel it’s the best one. I used almost all of the ideas I had, and unlike the previous episodes, refused to place any limits on myself when it came to plot or setting. Everything I wanted to get done is in here, and I’m glad I managed to do it.
Update: It has been released.
# Anonymous Tournament - June 6th 2009
Feel like playing something new? While most tournaments offer just battle or CTF duels, in the BlitzAnon tournament you will be allowed to play any game mode of your (or of your opponent’s) choice. A big role is given to chance.(Levels/game modes are randomly chosen if players are unable to agree on anything)
And for the fun element, you’ll duel under a fake identity. Nobody will know who you are but you won’t know who you are against either.
Another keyword is fast. Most big contests fail because people get bored of them and start delaying their matches. You will just play one singe game against your opponent in the fastest way possible.
I would definitely recommend you at least having a look at the tournament at JCF .
So, if you want to try something new and exciting then the BlitzAnon tourney is the one to choose.

This was posted on RabbitJournal on May 9th 2009. You can post, too!# Jazz Jackrabbit on iPhone? - June 1st 2009
Source: Haze
A mysterious twitter message talks about an iPhone port of Jazz Jackrabbit:
Awesome (on NL Game Veterans day): Killzone’s Arjan Brussee talks enthusiastically about his iPhone port of Jazz Jackrabbit
What exactly this means we can only guess. Shadow and FQuist tried to get more out of this rebelalfons guy, but got no more information, so whether this really means a port of Jazz Jackrabbit to Apple’s mobilophonoconsole is in the works remains a matter of speculation.
On the one hand, a game so tied to Microsoft (Epic) and Sony (Guerilla) appearing on an Apple device seems unlikely… on the other hand stranger things have happened (like the Monkey Island remake being announced today). We’ve seen statements like this leading to nothing earlier (remember CliffyB’s “I’m talking about something with Noogy, but it’s superearly” from a few years back)? Anyway, either way it’s Jazz-related news, so there you go ;)
