Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Gameplay

The playing of this level might be a little hard for less-skilled players, this is really a level where players who are better than their opponent have a good chance to win. The flow isn’t really that good, but that is compensated by the lay out of the level, which is actually marvelous. I’m not a big fan of pits, but the way they are embedded in the level, causes them to not be an obstacle, but a tool.

Eyecandy

Your background is very original. Instead of putting most the tiles at the bottom as most people do, you’ve put them at the top and created a real big thundercloud. Well done. Allso layer 5 is really well done and looks like it is connected to layer 3.

Originality

As been said before, you have a very original background. Also the layout of your level is completely uncommon. The way you’ve used the pits and the powerups is also nice. This level is theoretically really good, though I wonder how much there will be played here.

It seems like this level deserves a decent review….

Gameplay

This level has a nice flow, this is because the distance between the celing and floor of the platforms here is just right, not too big and not too little. Though that is not the only cause. There appear to be a lot of sucers that suck you through walls. Allthough their destination is mostly obvious, I would recommend not to use so many of them, apply variation and use other events to get through the level, like float ups, wind, copters, swining vines or warps.
The ammo placement is quite good, though I have the feeling that the right side of the level contains more ammo. What is certain is that it contains more power ups, which makes the level a bit unbalanced.

Eyecandy

Maybe the background could have looked a bit more mystic, because it is just mist and woods, I miss the mysic feeling. Also the mountains look a bit too bald, maybe they could have been decorated some. This is the same for the body of the platforms on layer 4, it is mostly either stones or grassy earth. The decoration of the pathways however, has been done better. It has been decorated with plants, threes, rocks, flowers and, most important, demons, in different colors. Most of those things are on the foreground, though I still miss some larger objects on the foreground that overlap your view of your rabbit when passing.

Originality

As mentioned before, there should have been some variety of events in this level, I think this also goes for the eyecandy. This level gets boring fast because of the small presence of variety. Allthough the quality of this level is more than sufficient, it doesn’t give me a feeling of wanting to play it. Some original recognisable features should have been added to make it more than just a level. This level is good enough to be played on public servers sometimes.

It can really be better. More for layers 1,2,3 and more in the background. You did a good job with the ship and rain but it can still be better.

It really looks like semi. Good the blue base was fixed. There are some bugs.

PICKUPS

Good ammo placement. Not too campy,though the RF part can be.

OVERALL
7.4
It is good for a second CTF level. Try to be more original and fix the bugs. Hope the next one will be a lot better.

This is a good level for someone who isn’t that familliar with levelmaking yet.

Gameplay

This level doesn’t have a good flow, there are some dead ends and also paths of only a few tiles big. Though, you managed to keep the damage minimal by having a good flow in the middle of your level. Maybe you should try to make your next level a bit bigger, so it will be easier to avoid small paths and dead ends.

Eyecandy

My first impression of the eyecandy is good, you have a nice moving background and rain on the foreground, also you used some tiles to mask other tiles or events. Though this level contains quite a lot of tilebugs. Try to look at other levels and see how the authors of those levels used the tiles.

Originality

You used quite some events in your level, which allowed one to warp to powerups they can’t shoot and also roll through a sucer tube square. Though, this level lacks original design, amazing eyencandy and renewing combinations of tiles and events. Though for your second level this is a good job, you can be proud of it.

Well, it’s working for me and looks nice, but the ‘Choose a color’ buttons are not working. And too bad it’s only for 1.23.

minmay can u help me ? xD

Rather too similar to Happy Semiconductor for my tastes. I found the way the same tiles are on multiple layers to be rather confusing with regards to figuring out whether or not I can stand on something. Eyecandy is all right, but is rather messy and could be much improved.

Gameplay was really good.There were some nice tiles in there.

Very well-placed.

Not a bad level. The atmosphere is quite good, yet nothing overly special. The issue I have with this level is that it tries a bit too hard to be like semi. At least it has two carrots, so it’s not quite as campy, but more chaotic due to being very small yet open. The eyecandy is okay. Might be fun, but I highly doubt it will become a classic.

Nice :D

OK. If JazzBusters is your brother, how come the interval between his and your log in, is so small?

Rating Jazz2 for Windows

To start:
This is a funny level with Jazz, Spaz and Lori Jackrabbit in another Windows XP-window and a virus error-message. Funny idea, but bad performed.

Eyecandy: (20 pts)
I can’t take a look into your level layers (because the file is protected), so the Eyecandy-rating is for what you see when you play the level. The foreground is used for the window! Funny! I give you 14 points for the foreground. The background is kinda disappointing, because there is just a sky and that’s all. So that’s just 3. The path is decorated with exactly enough stuff, like trees, torches and crates. A magnificet score of 17 for the path! The average score is 11,33 points, 11 points when I round it down.
Result: 11 pts

Gameplay: (20 pts)
Moderate. The level is quite long, so that’s good. But there are three big problems when I look at the gameplay. Firstly it’s the XP-window, because it disturbs me when I want to see where I like to go. The second problem is – and I think you already guessed it right – the virus error-message. It distracts me. And the third one is the pit. If you fall in there, you have to cheat, or if you don’t know it, you have to reset the game and that’s very frustrating!
Result: 7 pts

Story: (10 pts)
There is no story. So this factor does not count for your final rating.
Result: N/A

Obstacle placement: (20 pts)
In this levels the enemies and lava-pits are good placed. But also in this part of the rating the three problems in the gameplay count, because those are obstacles too! I think you know which obstacles I mean, so I don’t have to say more about it. Overall the obstacle placement is reasonable.
Result: 10 pts

Bonus placement: (10 pts)
Saw short: the bonus placement in this level is great and it is a very funny idea to place blue gems above the lava! It’s some sort of switch: one blue gem in exchange for some hearts of your health.
Result: 9 pts

Conclusion
If you like to be distracted, this is just the level where you’re looking for. If you don’t, just ignore it and choose another one.

Total points: 37
Maximum number of points: 80-10(story)= 70
Calculating: 37÷70×9+1= 5.8
Final Rating: 5.8
Download recommendation: N/A

Great levels with nice chosen titles, a good eyecandy and a very good boss at the end.
