Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Wanted to playtest and lower the layout (so the top feels less oddly cramped), but don’t have the time unfortunately. Note that a major bug was fixed, too!

What started off as retro inspired mostly became an Employee of the month inspired level instead. It’s been built with many custom weapons in mind to spice up the gameplay. Nails are very good here and give you many extra path options! I wanted to try balancing a level around the seeker powerup, rather than nerfing it directly.

Made for 3v3s, but 4v4s may work, too.

• RF PU now respawns for clients(!)
• Added a mountain background and redid the middle area visuals
• Removal of Zeus artillery (sorry smoke, maybe another level?)
• Redid the top area. Pinball bumpers removed and added platforms
• Fun launcher tubes at the top sides of the level
• Removed a bunch of annoying destruct scenery
• Added 2 more carrots inside a new tube. This is near a hotspot, so they’re still risky
• The hole with a carrot below will take more time to enter.
• An additional tube with another carrot (this might sound dumb, but it’s still near a hotspot).
• To compensate for the addition, the small carrots now take 15 instead of 13 seconds to respawn
• The seeker pickup area next to the bases is no longer a dead-end
• The walls to the sides of the middle tube now have an additional tile, for better flow
• Some ammo pickups have been removed, replaced or moved.

Happy new year (and a birthday for me)!
