Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

I copied and pasted the following text from my original review of the first release of "Aztec":

"I dunno what to say: i just love Blades uploads! Everything looks and sounds so cool. This is another superb tileset that includes a short demo level and beautiful background music. You’re an elite tileset/level jazzer, Blade! Everyone download this! Its an order! :-)))"

I didnt change my opinion on it, it even gets better. The design of the example battle level is great and the music choice is pretty cool (but not as good as in your other packs, in my opinion…a bit too techno-beat-like).
"Aztec v3" by Blade (member of //*tha famous iSDN Army*\\, yay for us!!!) is a MUST DOWNLOAD (again :-)!

The Aztec tileset keeps getting better. :-)

I like this tileset, it has a nice look, and a cool example level. I should personally note that you shouldn’t password the example level, it makes it hard for newcomers to get the hang of the set without actually opening the level in JCS.

I would say if you’re a custom set fan you should d/l this now. :-)

Nice. :-) “Bananna Beach Demo” contains a good difficulty level, nice ideas and puzzles, and just the right length.

A few problems were visible, one being the fact that it got tedious on “the hard way” But other than that, I recommend you check this out. :-)

(+):)
great puzzles
kewl when u got the questions right!
good eyecandy, leveldesign
just like his first level: new

(-):(
ur right kejero, the end is very confusing

conclusion: unless ur actually gonna wait for the full version, a must download!

note: i dont agree with laguna on the blank masks: its a bit difficult if u dont know when ur going up or down but actually i like it!
altho i only seen 2 levels of kejero im already almost a fan of him!

(+):)
some levels have kewl puzzles
leveldesign and eyecandy ok

(-):(
2 easy

(+):)
its different (leveldesign)

good eyecandy

(-):(
its different (leveldesign) – im just not sure if this is good or bad
2 easy
lack of good ideas
bit annoying

conclusion: download and play if ur bored

(+):)
eyecandy… maybe

(-):(
boring and annoying
short… and… not short (depends;)
easy (found the exit!:)
nothing happens (and nothing keeps happening when you play over and over!)

conclusion: download? nah…

One of the best levels submitted on this site!!!

well done!

P.S You can make a easter version of this level! but chaging the tilset to Easter

This level is not very good
A lot more work should go into it
At least 3 hours per level.

Ru><orific tileset tho the masking seems a bit awkward now and then.

I wont rate this cuz its a demo but left from where you start are lotsa blank masked blocks, remove those

First of all, i really appriciate that authors use superb custom tilesets like DethMan’s 7th Lava Fall (btw this is the first major bug: in the readme you thank Jeh for the tileset…).
And the set isn’t used that bad at all: the eyecandy is quite okay in my opinion. Well, there are still some masking/tile errors though. And the foreground layer with the "falling lava" will get very annoying after some minutes!
Now, the bad side: The design of the "Pyramid of Steel Fury" is (slightly below) the average. There are lots of things that i dislike:
Sandglasses (very annoying event i think), Airboards (pretty useless in this level), Hurt events (they will only hurt the server, believe me!) are some examples i found.
The pack also includes a custom music file: i’m not sure if it fits to the atmosphere of DethMan’s "dark, industrial" tileset but it still sounds…um…pretty funny. I’ve heard MODs that were worse.
To sum it up, this is a nice level, mainly because the author tried to use a great tileset and custom music. The design (actually design is the most important part in a level :-) itself is not that good.
I think J2O’s readers could take a look at it. I was very undecided about the rating (5 or 6?). Hey, it’s saturday…very very low six points for you :-)

Good level
But too open Jazz and Lori can justfly to the other base.

Good one!
Keep them coming

We have a pretty below average level here. Design, eye candy and event placement could have been significantly improved… Also contains no new ideas. Semi-good music choice. I feel like decreasing the rating for your comment about ModPlug in the readme. ;-)

Overall I can’t give a download reccomendation for this. Sorry. :-)

This level is good for a first one.
I think the tips Ninja Dodo gave are good ones and hac2k should listen to them.

Not a very good level. i think his other level was better.

P.S Fquist what does spoofing mean?

Good tileset i think
The level is all so a good one!
Good eye-candy.
Remember what AIKO said : No hurt event!
it will only hurt the host of a server

I will give this a 8!

Good Job

P.S If you like this download his new one!

Hmm

Not bad!! ;)

Keep it up Aiko

This level is soo close to BloodBunny’s level it’s uncanny!

There’s a mask’d tile in the lower bottom left corner that
need’s to be taken out. The lava shouldent be so high or
at least be transparent. Ok author creative licence but a
Coin warp next to flag base? Maybe needs more work.

Ok i guess this level is good but it’s no BloodBunny’s Lair. :)
(Unreal music has always been easy to convert to jazz2)

Hey, this is great! Cool level design, thanks to the tilesets. Nice work, Noraa.

Only one little thing to complain, the corners.

All in all, a very nice level…especially for a first one.

Aiko, it seems your old review doesn’t entirely apply to this version, because the version I downloaded DOES include the Mez tileset. As for the mode it’s for, it’s written in the readme that it works best in multiplayer…

Hack2k, here are some tips for your future levels:
- use the other background layers (1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7) and put more decoration/eye-candy in a level.
-think long and hard about the amounts and types of weapons in your level. Finding the perfect balance can realy add to the fun of a level.
-Use tilesets that haven’t been used a million times already.
Good luck.
