Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

One of the more visually memorable Castle levels out there.The layout is really cool and the level plays well, or atleast plays well the intended way. The pit at the bottom and the goodies there make it a nice risk and reward to go around. This level has a coin warp and coins that usually require you to leave the high ground, which makes for a nice gameplay loop. While this level does not have many landmarks, it still has different style of areas that do just about enough to not get lost as a first time player. The only real downside is that the level has a heavy focus around the center coin warp and the top right powerup where the warp takes you. Perhaps it's an upside if you like grieving your opponents. The coin warp itself is really cheap for a firebird powerup, which is massively OP and uncounterable. It decimates all your opponents in seconds, and it's hard to run out because you get 50 ammo. On top of this the best strategy is to just camp in the top right and abuse an exploit / bug to electroblaster the powerup constantly. While fun for a while, it kind of taints what the level has to offer overall and hurts itself for a serious competition. Regardless, it's a nice level.

It's good to have Snooze back. The idea is really creative. The background contrast and brightness is colorful and bright and bring a different kind of eyecandy that still resembles Snooze his style that is clearly authentic and different to other levelmakers. I've missed seeing levels like this.

Some small polishing tips: There is still some masking issues still existing in the chunks 22,31 and 15,38 and a mask specifically at 45,55 this is a really fun level. And on a sidenote the wobbly sucker tube can be made 'unwobbly' with the use of noclip sucker tubes on the left and right.

Fun! The level has a sort of cozy atmosphere, which may seem discordant with it being made for battle mode, but it works and that's what matters. The entire aesthetic is very cohesive with the level title. Visuals are not jaw-dropping but they don't need to be, it's all very readable and fits great together. Powerup placement goes well with inclusion of the Discharge gun, gives a decent alternative to Electroblaster (even if I don't like this custom weapon, but it's not snz's fault it's like that). The Fusion Cannon has good use too – its main placement is exactly the right place to abuse its power. The weakest point of the layout is probably the little room with springs and a warp, but I can respect its inclusion. Overall, the layout is on the smaller side but manages to stand out with those narrow drops in the middle, the placement of the sucker tube, and those little platforms with Fusion ammo. Felt just right for the Anniversary Bash!

Snzspeed I really liked your pack, I have some music (except some that I replaced with other music) and the levels and atmosphere are very challenging, even in three Dream Drifts.

8.2/10

I recommend to download this

I like how these levels feel rather retro but with a modern twist in terms of visual design. All four have very solid layouts with some of Snz’ signature levelmaking flair. These will be a fantastic addition to your Battle rotation and are best enjoyed in a well populated server, so be sure to invite your friends!

Perfect pack! 10/10 HYPE! By the way, Grave of the Snooze level is best played using “IC – Diamondus3” tileset from Impressive Flashback.

Download Recommended!

EDIT: Inserted screenshot of level “Grave of the Snooze” in my own version.

This is my best pack of New Ages series! I like these levels, although I have some music files missing.

10/10 HYPE

Download is surely recommended.

Supah.

Wheeee :D
GJ snz… U PWN as always…

Bad.

Two of the CTFs were absolutely phenomenal, being Minimal Duel and Antiquity, probably deserving near 10/10 ratings.
The battles, generally all screamed great design, especially Sodan Valtakunta, Firebreather, Frozen Lake and Robot Village.
On the whole I’d say most of this pack is nearly the best type of leveldesign you’d get nowadays. DL PLZ.

Well what can I say…

This is a pack with everything for everyone, and everything in top quality. There are levels like ‘Firebreather’, and ‘Minimal Duel’ for the duelist people, yet there is also the +16 player-suited map ‘Medium’. My personal favourite is Sodan Valtakunta, what’s yours? Download and enjoy!

Quality on it’s finest. Snooze did a good job with this pack. A must for every jj2’er!

By far snz’ best MP pack yet. A close to perfect balance of eyecandy and gameplay has been achieved, as tough as that is. There’s also a huge variety, featuring levels ranging from all shapes and sizes. They show off the epitome of snz’ JCS talents. There isn’t much more to say; if you fancy playing awesome new levels then download immediately!

Another level I really liked in the Bash.

Music:
10/10

Eyecandy:
Well, the tileset has its issues. Sometimes it looks boring but Snooze tried to make the best out of it. The pond was an interesting expiriment… I actually think it turned out nice.
The caves were very nice.
The vines were placed awkward but once you realized they were there, they did not cause problems at all. A better tileset could’ve helped but I do not penalize on tilesets here.
8,5/10

Gameplay:
Well, it worked all pretty nicely. The warp, the fall-through-ground and the suckertube w/o being clear that they were there, made it a bit messy but again, once you got to know them you could use those at will. They’re NOT noob-friendly, but noobs who learn this map should be capable of learning them without too much hassle.
8,5/10

Pickup placement
Very well done, though I think the RF PU in the pond is a bit
too powerful because the map has long, open, horizontal paths where you can blast those RF’s through (even moreso as Jazz and Lori because they can copter and thus fire RF’s even when going upwards the slightly sloped hill).
8,5/10

Replay value:
It is a great map which can definately be in a mappool. It is very well playable with either Jazz, Spazz and Lori and not too difficult to learn if you have more brains than a monkey.
8,5/10

Comment edited, original one was too heavy-handed.

Re-rated pack at 7.7.

I write the following text in Finnish, because of this downloads sender to understand it.

Tämä on tosi hyvä taso! Annoin kympin, koska se on vaan niin hyvä.

Words “sovun valtakunta” is finnish.
