Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Wee, first review! :D

gets buried in rotten veggies

Ok, ok… Enough with the cliché, time for a review update:

———————————————————
Considering this is made in MS Paint (yes, the infamous program which a reputation of having made bright, limited colored sets), the colors are actually nicely done, which scores extra points in my book. Unfortunately, that’s all there is. The tileset itself is pretty basic, as mentioned in earlier reviews, with just ground, blocks, and some signs. No background, eye candy, nothing to increase the appeal of a level, aside from a bone in the ground, but that’s it: nothing. The example level only shows you how you can use the set and some facts about it.

On an interesting note, I’ve read the readme (as always, reviewers should make a habit of that, there is a point to making them. Heck, even the name of the zip file says you should read it) and it was all about how he got inspiration, how he loved 24… And it says he can draw well, he even drew mangas (Japanese comics for the unknowing). I believe that if he had the proper tools, he could become like Agama, but that’s just me :p

Verdict:
Back to the set. Overall, the rating is on a borderline, just because of the good colors in Paint (I’m a sucker for those, I know). The only thing I can do is suggest these things: get a free copy of Paint Shop Pro somewhere, it works much better than Paint. Secondly, take a good look at tilesets of others (I suggest Agama, Disguise and Blade), especially at the eye candy they put in. I can only give it a 5, because I’m nice :)

Update: Sonictth is well underway it seems, he added (color) animations and water blocks (normally animated) in this set (color animation mean that the colors in the animation keep switching hue or brightness, something Jazz 1 used a lot, because it’s easy to do :P). Tho the additions are not revolutionary, they’re ok (Remember, this is in MS Paint ;P) and Sonictth deserves points for trying. He also updated the example level with the new animations, a “Boulder Coaster” (one thing: Jazz has trouble running up slopes steeper than 45 degrees, keep that in mind), and some new music (Sweet Dreams by Elwood, I’m starting to look like Aiko! o.o).

Updated Verdict:
Pretty Ok, but misses some stuff (Like destructive blocks, and in a Jungle set, vines must be in it! What’s a Jungle without vines? :P). The new rating from me: 6 One more thing: work on your english as well as on your set ;)

Hmm, good work, i think you have made this with normal paint, better then the first version, much better its bigger and better, a 7!

Read my review for the first one. It’s basically the same.
The only difference here is that there are some new tiles, none of that are particularly useful.
I’m not adding anything for the trees glowing, because that was unintentional of you.
Water in 8bit does NOT work; I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Anyway, my review is the same as the one for version 1, but since there are new tiles, I’ll give you +.2 points because I’m nice.

This tileset was preaty good.
I liked how every thing glowed…..8o
But since it was made in Ms paint it will get points docked.

Since in the lvl it asked for sugestions Ill give you some:

Make a better bg :P
If you make tilesets in MS paint,When you make lines like in the grond or whereever try to make them have a graident.

THose were some tips that I thinbk might help, I hope.

ALL IN ALL:4

Eh! You are Unfair! When the Second version of a tileset has got more blox and extras and music it can`t have a lower rating than the First version! That`s unfair!

And: A Example level is ONLY there for explaining you how to use! (So because it names EXAMPLE LEVEL)…..

IT MUST MIND. HAVE A 5.9[This review has been edited by sonictth]

Hmmm

1-better then yor OLD whan!
2-better ani-tiles

i think i give an 5.7!

Let me see, hmm:

1 Some trees comes
2 Animated tiles add
3 Grass add
4 Water add
5 Signatures add
6 Other things add
7 But alot of things not here!

It’s pretty good! But it can be better! Just add some stomps, but I can used tiles as stomps! It’s pretty nice work! But it won’t get eight, it’s not that good! 6.2 from me, have a nice day! And I think you’ll just do better next time! ;) I think so!
