Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Look, I’ll be short and honest.
NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER post hotels here. All that will happen is your overall rating will go down. If you like them, thats fine. But please don’t post them here. Thats not what H2O….er….J2O :-) is about.

What I added:Aiko rewards any kind of effort? (Sure doesn’t reward me with any money :-)[This review has been edited by KJAZZ]

This isn’t a 1.23 game…this is TSF (or so I presume due to the version conflicts I’m getting). Nevertheless…

Perfect, I’d advise you to listen to KJAZZ. I know that you didn’t post your levels up here to get slammed, you posted them for feedback, for that longing hope we all have within us that someone will actually like our work…reaching for that star that says, not only to they like it, they LOVE it!

Alas, Perfect, this isn’t that work.

MOST people don’t like hotel levels. You could craft the most cunning, beautiful level ever seen, and if it’s a hotel level, people will still view it with contempt.

I can’t imagine who came up with the idea…I suppose it was probably one of those moments when someone thought they had something fresh and inovative. Unfortunetly, those thoughts aren’t always true, and the fresh and inovative can quickly prove itself to be a bad idea.

There does seem to be a cult-like following for hotel levels, but I cannot grasp WHY it exists.

Allow me to place before you a question which no one yet has answered me…

What fun is a hotel level? What fun is it to join a level, be asigned a room, and then sit there and tell the server to ban people who come in? If I want to sit on a bed, wouldn’t I be more comfortable going to my own room and turning on some music, grabbing a book, and relaxing thusly? Is that not more restful than watching Jazz sit on a "bed" on my computer screen?

Nevertheless, there undoubtedly exists a market for such things. But, you’d be better off distributing hotel levels to the hotel market directly, not through mainstream channels such as this. Many people can be rather rough, even downright mean if you present them with a hotel level.

Anyways, that’s my two cents for you.

I have chanched the level
Only the tileset is not mine from this level

Err…do you allow me to rate the level (not just blahblah about it :-)? Okie, here we go: some guys here already noticed it’s a so-called "Hotel" and most people don’t like this kind of level (including me).
It makes use of the "CLC" tileset by some unknown artist (who seems to be a member of the "Cracco Clan" at least), which is quite good actually.
The level is pretty large and has loads of rooms and stuff like that. The design and eyecandy is interesting in some places, but then suddenly loses quality in other areas (bad tile placement for example).
Honestly…personally i don’t like this kind of levels at all, but it seems like the author put some work into it. And i award any kind of effort (4 points here).
Still no download recommendation from me, though :-)

Yup, I too am a hotel disliker. but I can admit that this level was at least tolerable. It has below average use of the otherwise good tileset. Has a warp-oriented style of navigation and strange stuff. The eye candy/layout overall could be improved. And I have to agree with Buster here, what’s the point of hotels in JJ2 really? they’re quite boring and IMO not really worth much…

barely 4 points and no real d/l recommendation from me.
