Some time has passed since we last heard from the JJ2+ team, but the new release is finally here!
Amongst many things, version 5.7 brings the following updates:
- Increased memory limit
- Revamped Head Hunters gamemode
- Improvements to anti-cheating measurements (Stijn also wrote an article to provide some context to these changes)
- Lots and lots of bug fixes
Download the new JJ2+ update here!
The community member Allan Zax has made a new remix of aJazz Jackrabbit 2 music track. He made his spin on the well known Carrotus.
However in the past he made a remix of Medival Jam and is now working on Labrat.
So if you like his work, please give a checkout on his Youtube page!
Yep, it’s another news post about Jazz fanworks, and this is a big one:
Jazz Jackrabbit Doom TC is a mod of Doom II that finally brings planets, enemies, and weapons from Jazz Jackrabbit (mostly JJ1, but some JJ2) into 3D. There’s even a Holiday Hare spinoff mod in the works for maximum verisimilitude.
Not to be confused with Hocusdoom, which includes Diamondus as a bonus level.

We continue to find lots of great Jazz art around the internet. Recently tumblr user PictoPatch finished a set of five standing animations for Lori, Spaz, Jazz, and even Eva and Devan, all looking ready for some HD action, possibly in a fighting game. Check them out here and leave the artist some appreciative comments in their notes!
The 31st season of the Jazz Duelists’ Challenge¹ starts tomorrow, in just under twenty-four hours.
