These aren’t bad. As iCeD said, they all have there ups and downs. I disliked most of the levels. But I thought the music weren’t bad choices. The Forest level was my favorite, also. And a lot of these levels were quite confusing.

And also, these aren’t multi playtypes, as the info of the level says. I found only Battle levels.

Well, I don’t recommend these levels to download, sorry.

I really liked this level from the start. The level was changed slightly from it’s old self, not many changes, I only found one, and it was a music change. I did like the old music myself, really. The music and the level together reminded me of the old days of JJ2. Also, Food isn’t that useful in Multiplayer, but can be of use in Single Player (For it’s Suger Rushes).

Also, some of the things in the level I find annoying and don’t use often in my levels, but he did use these things quite nicely… Also, nice event placement. And the eye candy and design is another great part of the level.

I with out a doubt recommend a download.

I Quote you, iCeD, “You USUALLY can’t go wrong with a nice set of custom music files, but at times I felt the ones you chose didn’t fit too well.”

The Forest music was from Fury of the Furries.
Rant to Hare Brain on the Pyramid one.
The space one was going to use your music from the Semiconductor, but I wanted to use NEW musics.
The medivo one was the best for there. Please play that level in High detail for the full effect.
The Ailen one, just look at the name of the music. “Alien Atack”. ‘nuff said.
The final one was going to be called “Sky High Fury” but for some very strange reason the level would NOT WORK in jj2… So I made one with a spaceship with two Holodecks and it was in like the clouds.

I hope this clears up some confusion.

In my opinion a pretty cool level. I’ve always personally liked it. You did a good job of balancing the powerups/other stuff. Even though I don’t see a huge point to food and other food-like pickups. The warps were nicely placed, but despite the good balance, powerup placement could have been improved. The fluent design leads to fast paced (and fun. :-) gameplay.

Overall I recommend that you DOWNLOAD THIS NOW.

I didn’t like these levels too much, to be blunt and honest.

This pack includes 6 levels, each had their ups and downs. I liked the forest one the most probably… the space station one gets an award for being CONFUSING which is a major downfall. The Medivo and Space ones where OK but a little too simple for my tastes. The pyramid level… well, I’ve already reviewed that so you can look there, I’ll edit this with what I had to say about that later. You USUALLY can’t go wrong with a nice set of custom music files, but at times I felt the ones you chose didn’t fit too well.

Like I said each level had their ups and downs, but overall this is above average I guess. barely a download recommendation from me. You should spend more time on JCS before you release.

A quite nice tileset. It fixed some JJ1 sets and puts them together (in my opinion GREAT when used right… you could come up with some CREATIVE levels.) It also includes a nice example which I like. Even though it doesn’t show everything you can do with the tileset, it gives you a nice look at Deckstar and little bit of the other sets.

In my opinion not worth rating, but definitely worth a d/l.

Btw, I remember downloading the “No More Mr. Nice Rabbit…” level from J2C ages ago, and I loved the custom music. You replaced it with labrat.j2b which doesn’t fit at all. This calls for a fix. ;-)

No…
Alpha was the First level, Forest of Fury.
Beta was that level with The Pyramid of Steel Fury.
Theta is now, with 6 levels.
Understand?

only problem in the episodes list it kinda pushes the “shareware” section outta the way :)
On the other hand, I could just delete all but the first episode to leave space…

WoW, a very nice single player episode. I like the use of the custom tilesets, and you also have some GREAT ideas. (Mmm, car chase.) I don’t like the idea of respawning enemies too much but it added some difficulty to the last level. Though this episode DID have some stuff to complain about. There were minor eye candy/navigational bugs, not to mention some of the ANNOYING puzzles. (hey, I like puzzles, but try to make them easier) However, aside of this, I REALLY can’t think of much to complain about.

The music was cool but didn’t play on certain levels..

Overall I HIGHLY recommend this pack. Get downloading.

“The episode file works fine for me, but you have to play the whole epic episodes first”
-Electric Ir

Oh yes. I forgot this. When I updated to 1.23 (As many of you on the JMMB know) my saved games were erased. So I had to play through the Epic episodes. Thats a bug you MIGHT wanna fix. Not that big of a deal.

P.S. Yeah, that .j2e thing I would REALLY like!

Indeed, dutch level makers strike back with this very cool pack.
“Putrid Monkey” contains eight brand new single player levels, it uses five homecooked tilesets and four custom music files. Some of the levels are very original (the car chase is fun for example) and the underused tilesets were used very well (J1-Diamondus, Temple, Strawberries!). By the way, it would be very cool, if you could include a readme text file that gives info about who made the tilesets and the music (selfmade tilesets will make me rate it higher :-).
The pack also includes a Jazz 2 Episode file (.j2e) which means you can easily chose it from within the game (you’ll see a new [not-so-beautiful!] button in the episode selection screen which is pretty cool). I hope the guys will release the J2E-Tool sometime to give everyone the chance to make something like that :-)
The eyecandy in all of the levels is on a very high standard, but the design is a tad confusing in some cases (some puzzles are annoying, but hey, its better than one of those 5-minute-run-thru-levels).
The music selection just fits great! Nothing to complain about there.
Unfortunately i didn’t hear music in “Overdose of Sand” (songcd4.s3m?). Authors, please check your files before uploading them to J2O :-)

Overall, this is definitely A MUST DOWNLOAD for EVERYONE, not only single player fans. Great work, dutchmen! :-)

P.S.: Dear Authors, please don’t use this page for discussing internal problems with the pack.

This level pack is very very cool.

It has nice ideas, and its just….(Argh! Stupid language…no other ways to describe :-)

Well its just really good.
I liked the CAR level too.
And I didn’t find a bug…
I thought of giving it an extra point
for New Years but…

Then I thought all the Admins and Aiko would be mad at me (And we don’t want that :-)

(Added Note: Oh yes. The Strawberry tileset is really cool! And easy to work with. I’m making a level right now with it! And for that, I’ll give ya an extra 0.2 points…No wait….Still might make Admins/Aiko mad….Maybe i’ll increase it later…)

And this review is too long (for me)

Im very sorry to tell you guys that the Episode file wont work right in 1.23 (I think it does in tsf) because of an error by me while creating it.

I think that if you delete the "ending" as next level and replace it for "endepis" in d-am-n2 it will work again, but if you do that you’ll need to play the last episode again (thats no problemo using jjnext)
