The "PayPack" is another pretty good level pack including basically three battle maps, which make use of the Castle and the Jungle tileset. Some additonal night/day versions are also included.
The design (which, for example, also means weapon placement) and the eyecandy of the levels are great and i didnt discover any bugs or errors that would be worth mentioning. Thats why i really recommend to download these levels and to host a decent battle server :-)

I played this episode as one of the first ever played and I must say: It took SPLASH quite a time to build. But the result makes up the time.
This baby is real fun. It got some nice puzzling things in it and some good enemy positions. SPLASH really proofs he can build anything with any tileset. If this episode is too hard for you, just get a friend to play it with you. In Coopmode it also rocks. You can assist eachother real good with the bosses and puzzles.
Another thing which is good: the eyecandy. You’ve got to have 10 inch thick glasses to see a bug or anything.
Well, just download it and you’ll see I’m right.
One final thing before I go to bring the paper around: When is episode 3 coming? =:)

This level is quite poorly done. The level is just basicly a poorly done ride. You start on a plateform, and sucker tubes take you to an room. Anyway, poor eye candy, poor design, and just about anything else. And the level must of been completed in 10 minutes.

Not worth your download.

Level: Nice eye candy, no tilecutting or dead ends. I think it would be a fun one to play in. But they are two things that I would suggest for inprovements.

1) Try more.. Uh, I don’t have a word for it. But let’s just say they are better tunes for the music.

2) Never put hurt events in your levels!

Tileset: Nice tileset, good amount of eye candy. I think you could make a lot of good levels outta it. But I don’t know why you put the "And no TSF anymore…" Oh well, doesn’t bother me.

Wow, this is pretty awesome again. You gotta like Blade’s tilesets, they are so beautiful! They kinda remind me of an oil painting. By the way, i also rate the tileset here because the previous uploaded versions of this tileset didnt work for me (dont know why though).
But the design of the level itself is of great quality also. Weapon placement plus layer work are very good so this will make a very cool battle server. A MUST DOWNLOAD i think!
P.S.: I couldn’t start the level using Jazz 2 Organizer. Hmm.
P.P.S.: Actually Hurt events in multiplayer levels are a bad idea. But if i take this as an example level for the tileset its ok (to show the spikes in the tileset :-).
P.P.P.S.: The pack includes a pretty good background music (although its a bit too "techno"-stylish i think).

Hmm, i think i already reviewed the "previous" version of this, but it seems like it was deleted.
Well, in my humble opinion the level still isnt an great enjoyment. The tile placement really doesnt look very beautiful, the design isnt very "open" and there isnt much eyecandy.
Besides, Tube Electric really needs some animated tiles.
Summary: If i had kids, i would not recommend them to download this. Um. Kids? Im still pretty much a kid myself :-) Whatever: High 4 points.

I have dipped into my non-tileset JJ2 knowledge and found out a solution to this level’s Homecooked level list bootup problem (It worked for me, anyways…). Simply rename the level to

LIBRARY.J2L
instead of
LIBRARY..J2L

I think the 2 dots are messing JJ2 up…

"Not my favourite level. In my opinion there is a major lack of good design, eyecandy, length, weapon selection, enemy placement etc.. The blocks in MEZ01 (which is, btw, not included in the ZIP) are pretty easy to use, really. But if its your first, hac2k, you surely will get better hour by hour in front of the JCS.
Im sorry, but i cant give a download recommendation for this level. Four points are ok i think."

that is out of order. its my first level and u cant even give me any help or advice -hac2k

hmm..the artist said its his first lvl.
its not bad for a first one but, as always, there all still things i have to point him.
at first: the areas are way too far from each other.
second: i got hurt by a floor for no reason (bad idea) there werent spikes or something.
third: the ammo n stuff arent placed very well. but
the good things are that for a first lvl its nice and i would say to the artist: keep going on and you might make a decent battle lvl!
