23,000 miles away is one of those rare sequels that seems to be better than the original, encompassing all the best features of the previous episode – decent levels, lots of secrets, inventive ideas and no storyline at all – and adding them into new tilesets and new levels. I was a bit worried by Tubelectric, which was short and uninteresting, but the levels got bigger and better from there on out. The levels in this pack are still probably a little shorter than your average single player level, but there are several, and they all play well. Significantly fewer bugs than last time, and better eyecandy as well, though there were still some dull aspects.
This is just good in general, so it’s hard to find complaints, but I do have three. The levels are a little too short, some of the secrets (containing major stuff like powerups and shields) are a bit too easy to find, and there’s a general lack of story. I saw no real reason to be playing these levels otehr than the author having fun with different tilesets. Oh well. The levels could also use some more food and gems.
EDIT: Oh! The wrong Candion conversion was included in the .zip. Bad. Rating decreased to 7.9.

The Secret Files
Description
The 2nd episode of my version of JJ1. Includes TubeElectric, Sluggion, Bloxonius, Deserto and Candion
NOTE: Theres something wrong with the boss level. It does 2 camera views instead of 1. And there is only 1 BONUS LEVEL because there’s one every 3 levels. If I did, it would be right before the boss. The good news is that the bonus level have nothing to do with collecting coins.
REMEMBER THAT THESE LEVELS ARE SHORTER, BUT HARDER.

Jarno vos, you call this “Really Good”
and seem to like everything, you tell nothing about any bad points, and you give a thumb up. Still, you rate it 6.0.
Why?
