Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

In my opinion, "Jackal’s Arena" is definitely a good battlepack.
There is some nice layer work and the design is okay (a bit confusing to navigate), too.
Regarding the weapon placement, i think are too many of them in some places (3 powerups in a row? Um…:-).
To sum it, this is a levelpack thats definitely above the average and a good download for all us battle fans ;-)

P.S.: Level 1 and 2 aren’t linked with each other, which is pretty annoying.

I dont have much to add to Splash’s comments here.
This level uses the great “Africa” tileset by Disguise (which is not included in the ZiP; bad idea!) but there are lots of bugs in the level itself (tile placement, enemies etc.).
Design is below average and there is no eyecandy at all. I also had some problems navigation through the level and didnt hear any background music (thats because “quickman.s3m” isn’t in the ZiP file either).
Unfortunately i really can’t recommend to download this one.

A pretty average level pack here.

I like the layout in the first level, though the water looked awful in it (I really wish 16 bit were faster for me.)
There is no next level setting in the first level, bad idea. The second level is weird, I got confused in it because I found no way to get out of the starting room. I don’t like the music pick in the second level too much.

Btw, why is this TSF? I can’t find any TSF only stuff in here.

Noooooooooo I put the wrong lvl’s in !!!!!!
it wasn’t ment to be that version of my queen lvl and the others bad me bad me(repeted stabbing into chest nosies).

How horride of you I like my @‘s thankyou very much anyway I have a better battle lvl now so ha ha

(This is your last warning. STOP THAT. ~iCeD)

I got an out of memory error when trying to load 2 of these, so I only got to see the “Queen” level, and I wasn’t very impressed with it. The tiling was sloppy and used all wrong, you didn’t do the tubes currectly. (You have to put the tube tiles in layer 3 too to make them work right)

The whole level is very linear and I can’t say I like it that much, sorry.

chris11… don’t personal attack, and don’t summon the horizontal scrollbar. Because of it I have edited your message.

Anyways, I can’t load this because the author forgot the tileset. Bad bad idea.

Hmmm o.k lvl’s I like the first one.

HELLLOOOOOO can’t you read this is going to be A HUGE sequel lvl pack .
god you are thick (sorry i have to do this)@@@@@@

ahhhhhhh.

(Don’t mess up the scrollbar. It becomes annoying. ~iCeD)

yeah hmm…
i must say this lvl is a bit better then the first, yes. but only a bit. the lvl is way too short and way too lineair. some enemies, some text (which in my eyes a bit childish) and a boss.
but the lvl has a good structure (but it could use some obstacles at some roads), if u would have made it a long lvl with variation of enemies and objects, it would have become a nice lvl. but for now, i can only say it needs fixing…

oh i forgot! no next lvl set and no music. also the tileset should be put into the zip file as well

DBZ Rocks how dare u say it not good I love tileset because I am a huge DBZ fan!!!!!!!!

Quit it.

Laguna, do you have TSF? I always make my levels only TSF compatible, because I’m too lazy to do them 1.23 compatible…

Because the author did not make that many improvements (except the option to choose water in the level or not, which is a pretty nice idea), i cut and pasted this from my original "MEW HOTEL" review:
—————
"As you probably know, i am not a fan of Hotels. Or lets put it this way: i don’t like them at all :-) However, i took a look a "MEW HOTEL" (all that CAPS use gets really annoying) and found out that there is a lot of things that should be improved. The design is kinda confusing/boring, and makes the level quite unplayable and the layer work is nonexistant […]. MEZ1 is pretty easy to use and/but the level still looks very blocky and simple. Sorry, i don’t see a proper reason to give a download recommendation here. (Changed:) Very very low four points.

Some do something about Chris11.

Ok i cant find the level in my home cooked list after i unzipped it. When i try to open it i get this. “unsupported file version 2.03”

Welcome, once again, to another one of iCeD’s reviews. This level is below average. Contains lack of eye candy, is a hotel level, has everything written in CAPS (ANNOYING, YES.)

Lemme tell ya first hand, no one likes hotels. Period. Make a real level, will ya? ;-)

Anyways, you need to work on your eye candy, layout and ideas were all the same, etc. I can’t reccomend a download for this one. Sorry.

Its a good hotel.
It has been updated since last time.

Well, its his first.
its looking better than average for someones first lvl, but there are major displacements and stuff.
most things arent finished good, leaving strange, weird tiles behind on top of more tiles, if ya know what i mean. big fun were the sparks (dude i have NEVER seen em till now, but i think thats becus i never make 1.24 stuff). but things are too far away from each other, or too close to each other. try to find balance in your lvls. also try to make good eyecandy like flowers, and mountains and all the stuff you can imagine.
looking at the explanation of the lvl (a land where nothing can go wrong) i personally would have chosen for the psychic tileset, but thats just my opinion so leave that outta this.
to all ppl out there practice making (single plyr) lvls first before you post em on j2o or any other site. dont be content too fast and always look in a critic way to your work (or let others do that). you will always find things that dont fix or things that should be added. help from others is good too. and look at the standard jazz lvls too for examples. and then finally, your work is done and can be put on j2o. but let people test it first, so u can make any last fixes!

I’m in agreement with Aiko here, there was lots of bad eye candy, bad tileplacement and such. The Diamondus set is pretty easy to use, too. Download of this is not reccomended. Despite this, though, the level has nice use of ideas and a trigger crate. chris11, you have potential. Keep working and you’ll eventually get a very good rating. :-)

I should also note that you should ALWAYS include a next level setting.

I think that the music must be in the same pack with the levels.

Pretty amazing work! Pack has good levels, for example the Happy Jungle CTF. That level has so cool background, it’s so different. Music is good, but not the best. Like Aiko, I don’t like CTF very much.
