Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

This tileset is pretty good. It has everytile from the game (Atleast I think it does).

And for those people (CraccoBoy, and piccolo). I suggest that if you’ve bever played Hocus Pocus before, to not rate this. Because this is a game tileset and it is meant to convert A GAME. And as far as I can see it’s done what it’s supposed to. So I suggest you either elaborate your review, or change it.

I love Hocus Pokus, but it is not completed tileset. Tileset needs tiles from more levels.

This is a very good conversion of the old Apogee hit, Hocus Pocus. It contains most of the tiles from Green Killers sets although i noticed tiles from Hocus 2 that were not in this set.

D/L reccomendation: Yes, especialy if you like Hocus Pocus :)

“…”

That’s about all I have to say when I saw it…

Apart from the fact that I hate rips (oh, sorry, I’ll call it a ‘conversion’), this isnt a rip from the best looking tileset either.

The ripped stuff look fine (practically the whole tileset), but the textured background doesn’t work in 8-bit. I almost rated it badly for not tiling properly, but that was a little mistake from my behalf. The example level showed it tiling wrong, and only on closer inspection did I notice the extra few tiles throughout the set. Just as a tip, next time make it tile correctly in the example level.

Also, there isnt much of a difference in the tiles used. I know its only one tileset in an episode, but thats the bad part, some more couldve been stacked in and made it look a lot more interesting. Yes yes I know you only intended to make the one tileset, but man, giving it a bit more work would’ve helped a lot yaknow, the sets pretty tiny already and a problem with space wasn’t an issue.

Apart from that, I must congratulate the set on having a few ‘additional eye candy’ items to play around with, not to mention the lava animation and some useful ‘key’ triggers. Too bad those come with more problems. Well, there are NO diagonals. That really hinders gameplay and design capablities of a possible level. Apart from that the tileset lacks a load of event tiles like vines, poles, sucker tubes, EXIT SIGNS, arrows etc.

Msg to URJazzCC:
Oh, I get your logic, so you’re saying that the tileset did what it is supposed to do (do a total rip from a game), then it would get a 1-10 depending on how well it did it, and since its near impossible to go wrong with a rip unless you cant make custom palettes all ‘converted’ should get 10 or near 10 ratings. That’s a bad logic if you ask me. Don’t expect us to follow it, we’re welcome to use our own logic, and I would agree with Craccoboy and Soulfire (except his part on modifying the main rating to his own wishes) on their logic used when rating this.

I suggest if you’ve played Hocus Pocus, you go back and play that again, because this is JJ2, and here we do things our way.

Kinda cool…

I’d say it’s worth a 7.5…

Good tileset and interesting level.

Well, for a ‘conversion’ its good, but its missing to many things. Having the shareware (episode 1) of Hocus Pocus, (It was one of the first 10 games i had on my computer , my old one), i can compare this and the actual set in the game fairly. The backround is there, but it would of been nice to add in an extra textured warp backround for people who have trouble using a non-warp backround (This may sound like im the one having trouble, but im saying this for all you quiet people out there who are having trouble with JCS). Anyways, some tubes or destruct blocks or stuff like that would of been nice. Just because it is a ‘conversion’ doesnt mean only tiles that are ‘converted’ can be used in the tileset. Add some of your own tiles in, it will boost up the mark, i GUARANTEE it. Well, overally about that point is that the main tiles are completely missing (except the ground and stuff). The wizard’s there, that same poor one which you people blindly named fooruman just to make an idiotic version of a character in lord of the rings or something. Anyways, you CAN make a level with this, but it wont get higher than a 7, which is what im giving this. There is quality in this, but i reccomend you download violet’s conversion which contains all 4 hocus pocus episode 1 worlds. Still some tiles missing, but quality guaranteed.
To much ripped tiles, i cant really give this a download reccomendation, sorry.
