Fairly good level. No tile cutting. And I do like music. Though the name I don’t think will get in the world records for the best level name. :)
And I don’t think the things you gotta do in the race are very nice at places. Half and half I’d say. But, I do think it’s better then most race levels I’ve seen.

Coolness: a level tutorial by a pro. As i already mentioned somewhere, i love
Cmdr. Dats’ sets & levels. In this tutorial he tries to explain stuff and to share thoughts about levels
and how they should be. He even made some comments on things like music selection, which is, as he puts it,
more important than most peeps think.
All in all this is something different and its really cool in my opinion.

And hey…some greetz fly to Commander Dats :-)

btw the tutorial is also available on his (pretty interesting) homepage which is stored at:

Its the design of these levels that I like the best. Everything else is good too.

A very nice race level, lots of eye candy, blah, blah. Long, a nice challenging race. Blah, blah. And more blah! I’d put this for 8 points…

A very nice tileset. Maybe a bit hard to use, and maybe just a little too little eye candy put in the tileset for use. But for the rest, awesome tileset.
Good job, Dats! :-)

A nice level, though some of the puzzles are annoying. Like the block maze. But wih the parts where you gotta shoot, shoot, shoot, are nice. :)

Hard to use? I actually kinda liked the layout, but then again it’s my tileset :)

If there is another layout you consider easier to use, then feel free to blabber it all out on me. Send me a private message on this page, email me, talk to me on AIM and/or ICQ. My email is drbeute@futurest.co.za, AIM Name is DisguiseDA, and ICQ # is 46345394. Tell me of a tileset that you like that layout of and I’ll change my layout.

One other thing, if it involves making my tilesets a little less cramped, then you are wasting your time. After I tried to compile this tileset (and another one, Mountain Hill Zone) they were too big to be used by JJ2 1.23. I’d rather cramp up my tilesets a little than only make them available for TSF.

So, uhh, keep those easy ideas coming :)

A very hard single player level made of a great spacy 3D tileset by Alienator.
Wakeman made one of the first levels using it: the result is an amazing level, which
is fun to play and nice to look at (=much well arranged layer work).

Two very good CTF levels with nice alliterations in their names. The music fits to the atmosphere
of the Plastic Dreams tileset by Commander Dats. I recommend to download "Wisey’s Plastic Pack"!

A very nice level. Challenging, fairly long. But not too long. Lots and lots of eye candy! Over all, it’s very nice. And I can’t think of many flaws. Nice job, Wakeman!

This is a considerably nice tileset, even moreso from a tileset creator’s point of view. However the one color does make it look pretty.. "boring".

One of my favourite parts of the tileset is the "Made in Canada" text =)(Bottom-left) Woo! Canada Rocks!

Oh yeah… nice fading brick effect ;)

This is one of the few tilesets I would have actually put on Tileset Creation 101 (assuming I did that type of stuff.. but I don’t).

Very nice levels. Though I don’t think it’s as good as your other levels.
But still worth a good rating of 9. Well, still, no tile cutting at all. But maybe you should put just a bit more eye candy. But all the rest of the level is awesome!

Grrr, I hate these shortcut keys for the browsers (what Enter and Backspace does). Here is the rest of the description: I didn’t bother adding the Plastic Dreams tileset to these levels because it’s basically right underneath this (unless you searched by type blah blah). The two levels are a totally new design form me, waaay different than what I usually make. I’m just curious to see how the fellow Jazzers react to it :)

Very good tileset. It also uses a new type of 3D look that I haven’t seen in JJ2 tilesets yet, very cool :)

This here tileset has 3 totally different textured backgrounds (all work perfectly) and 5 different ground blocks, enjoy!

I have to begin with a comment:
iCeD, it has an example level, even a very very good one. Its called "Plastic Fortress
of Vytoh" and because i already know it i’ll give you the 8 points. Lucky :-)

However, Commander Dats really is a first class Tileset/Levelmaker. Everything i saw from him had
awesome quality. I like his fantasy style names, his tilesets, his level work, the music selection, everything.

Same with "Plastic Dreams": Its very colored and has a cool 3D look.

Again, a very substancial level by JelZe. Nothing super unique but very good layout and good layer work.
The jampacked power-up room isnt a very good idea in my opinion but people dont get there very often anyways.
However, its fun to battle. Happy Roasting. Dunno what to say :-)
