Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Wut faw said.(And crazy RAbbit) ;-)

It seems that nobody will rate or comment your levels if you are always disable the ratings.

nice why not?

like my lvl?
captain_jazz:yes

that’s really nice

Plz, have mercy under J2O site, dont spam these stupid levels…Train your experience on JCS…You need become little better…If your levels will become better, and interesting for play, then you can upload it…

It sucks. Hard. I don’t feel it is needed to explain this.

Put more time in your levels, try to use more layers. Put some layer three in it, make more secrets, add some puzzles, whatever

Also, getting a nine or so from me is a daunting task.

Wow…no wonder no one wants to review this. And it doesn’t even look like you even beta tested it yourself. I had to cheat to get past one of the warps. ALWAYS test your maps first before putting them up for download! Not to mention, I can skip a part of the level easily and the pit doesn’t even work at all.

Eyecandy: Overused tileset (that to be said it doesn’t mean it would make it any better even if you used another tileset because you don’t even know how to make a layout properly), repeating backgrounds, bad use of tiles, not to mention it just looks like those kind of levels anyone could make in 5 minutes. 1.5/10

Gameplay: Hmm…lets see, some random boulder at the start, skip a part, come across a boss, then some warps….get stuck. Great. Just great. I couldn’t even finish level, what the hell is going on? You can skip so many things…I even killed the boss, then suddenly came back to it again. It also seems to be one of those kind of bad single player levels which can be completed in 15 seconds or so, then some boss slapped in just to make it longer. Thats way too short, and adding a boss to a really short level isn’t going to make it any better. 1.5/10

Placements: I sort of said this in the gameplay. I get stuck in one of the warps, some random boulder which is super easy to avoid, then some boss you could skip with Spaz perhaps and come back to it again….wait. a moment, wouldn’t I be going through a neverending cycle of defeating the boss? Warp flaws too. There’s no ammo at all, which makes the gameplay even more bland. 1.5/10

Music: Since it’s the default music put into the tileset it has been with, it doesn’t really make the level any better. I’ll leave this part at N/A. N/A/10

Overall rating: This level has so many design flaws, it’s certainly not worth even downloading it at all. Bad layout, bad gameplay…you get the point. 2/10

Well, I just take a look at this level, I don’t want to rate it, but i think that your imagination is not very good…

god level

a god series of level

we told you not to upload everything you make.. this is pure j2o spam, let me tell you this. you are still a rookie, train more on your jcs skils and then start uploading files. if you want a 9, get better. but i can’t just imagine how you honestly think this is good.

Why did you disable the ratings?

Fixing bugs… Very cool!! :)

[Don’t rate levels you didn’t download ~cooba]

You have to try this. At least the first level.

Not bad at all. I actually had some fun trying to get over this.

Funny thing, I always thought that Louise would kill me if I’d rate like this.

Point Bonuses: +4
[+4] Great arrangement! Flawless use of volume slides and samples!

Point Deductions: -0
[0] If anything, maybe it’s too catchy… XD

Final Score: 9/10
This is your last remix? That’s terrible news… But better to go out with a bang than a whimper, I say! And bang you did!

==================Introductions==================
It are a music pack. A music pack of four random tunes — Stonar, Carrotus Gardens, Tubelectric, Crysilis. These files are of mixed quality, but this does kind of leave me at a loss. I’m…never quite sure how to review packs of things, though… I mean, one really horrid entry could easily destroy the entire overall rating of the pack, or one really superb entry could raise the ranking of the entire pack far beyond where it needs to be! I guess the easiest way to go about this is to review the pack as a whole… So that’s what I’ll do.

==================Simple Review==================
Base Score: 5/10

Point Bonuses: +3
[+1] Starts out promising…
[+2] “Pools of Light & Shadow” by itself is worth two points.

Point Deductions: -2
[-1] But quickly leads to disappointment when you realize that two of the songs in his pack bear almost no resemblence to their intended counterparts.
[-1] Tying in with the above deduction, the rest of the songs, while not absolutely horrible, don’t really feel like Jazz Jackrabbit songs anymore.

Final Score: 6/10

=================Extended Review=================
Introduction:
Really… It’s a mixed bag. I’ll give my take on each song individually here, then give my overall opinions at the bottom.

Song Analysis:
Silent Valley
I’m not exactly sure I hear Stonar in there, though… Unfortunately for the author, I genuinely cannot hear much of the original song buried within the heavy drums, deep bass, and pan flutes. The only real similarities I hear between the two songs are Stonar’s bit of melody at 1:53 and this song’s similar melody around 0:51. Well…that and the authentic Jazz Jackrabbit samples reused for this tune. As an original song, though… Not too bad.

Carrotus (Carrotene Mix)
Rather than lead up with a cheerful rise as in the original, this song chooses to drone down deep in heavy guitars right from the start. Again, the similarities between this song and the source material, “Carrotus” from Jazz Jackrabbit 2, are far and wide. I’m not entirely sure if this uses any of the original samples. The song also kind of falls into chaos around 1:20, in which the chimes start to overpower the electric guitars, causing a headache-inducing rhythm that’s not real pleasant on the ears. If it wasn’t for that one part between 1:20 and 1:43, I’d say this is a pretty good rock song despite its lack of similarity to Carrotus. This particular tune was also made to be looped, and it does indeed loop flawlessly.

Eu4ria 2.1belectria
Tubelectric. Again. Has anyone really done anything different with Tubelectric yet? Not even my “Winter Thunderland” remix was all that different if you get right down to it. But I digress.
Loudness. That’s what this particular mix is. Loudness. It uses the original samples in a number of places as well as using a number of heavy drum samples among other things. It’s not as awful as some of the things I’ve heard, but there’s a part around 1:42, and the ending part, that aren’t at all pleasant. Once again, it just ends up being a disorganized mess of loud samples around these areas. The rest of the song? Well, as a change of pace, PT32 actually made the song sound like Tubelectric. A good portion of the song is actually a lot of fun to listen to, as well. It’s not terribly different from what you’d come to expect from Tubelectric, but it has a certain appeal to it.

Pools of Light & Shadow
This. This right here. This wins. If you were going to download this pack for just one song, it would be this one. Pools of Light & Shadow is the author’s best work from this pack without a single doubt. Maybe I’m just a fan of echoing melodies, but I genuinely love this song and what was done with it. It has a beautiful sense of drama and fine arrangement that makes it of the same quality as some professional grade music. This is a true joy to listen to. And just when you’re getting used to the beautiful melodies, at 1:48 comes a huge change! It gives an image of walking through the planet and admiring the crystal caves, then having them collapse right on your head. And yet, all is not lost. 2:19 brings a peaceful, yet forever-changed landscape of a single electric guitar with deep choir in the background, leading to a slow fade-out of the song. And finally, a beautiful reminder of what once was. If the author had submitted this song by itself, I would have absolutely no qualms about giving it the high rating I think it deserves.

Sample Analysis:
The samples are clean, clear, crisp, and don’t fuzz. I’d say about half the samples come from the source material while the other half comes from wherever they came from. For the most part, they’re used well, but as mentioned in the individual song reviews, sometimes they’re just too much for that area of the song. Not much else to say about the samples.

Final Analysis:
There aren’t enough good things I can say about “Pools of Light & Shadow”. The rest of the songs I can give or take, but Pools of Light & Shadow is the main reason you’re going to want this pack. A suggestion for you, PT32, might be to upload the songs individual for a more balanced review of each, or at the very least, upload Pools of Light & Shadow by itself if you’re aiming for a popular song.

Recommendation?:
If it wasn’t obvious, I recommend this music pack purely for the beauty that is “Pools of Light & Shadow”. The song title tells you exactly what to expect: light and shadow.

Eyecandy starts out mediocre and gets considerably worse. As for gameplay, there really isn’t much of any. This is one of the easiest packs I’ve ever played; there are way too many enemies, but they’re placed without any real thought, making them nonthreatening.
That said, it’s not horrible. Short, easy, and boring, but not horrible.
