Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

I’m usually not a big fan of Gus’ sets (although I do like Multiuse1) however this set is really awesome. Great job, Gus!

sigh How is this level ugly?

What are time constraints?

Good job!

This tileset greatly reminds me of Mega Megatropolis and to some extent Disguise’s other sets. Gus’s tilesets are in a colourful style that heavily depends on Paint Shop Pro’s effects, and while his level isn’t quite the same as Disguise’s yet his tilesets certainly do have some quality.

Roger Lake comes with 4 different versions, each with its own palette. Apart from the palette nothing is changed though. The theme seems to be a park-like environment with giant trees and all sorts of plants and bushes, which is not terribly original but not really overused either. Some tiles are really nice, and I especially liked the big tree tiles and the animations, which are well done. There’s plenty of tiles for background eyecandy with mountains and water tiles in which these mountains are mirrored, lots of leaves, clouds and a nice flying bird.

The masking is a little awkward though. Some leaves are solid, while others aren’t; the general convention in JJ2 sets is that leaves can be walked through, so doing it different here can lead to confusing situations. Furthermore, the set lacks tiles for use in the “caves” (parts with layer 4 background eyecandy); there are no slopes with this background, for example, so you’ll have to resort to layer 5 for this. Another complaint of mine is that the rain is far too dense. Especially when used in the foreground, such as in the example level, this can become annoying rather than eye-pleasing.

All in all this is a nice, though not overly original, tileset, with a few drawbacks such as the masking and lack of some tile varieties. Downloading recommended though; it looks nice and it’s apparent that Gus is improving quickly.

Wow shit I actually like this tileset very much o.O
Im not a reviewer really but I must say good job

Looks marvellous from the screenshots. I give you an AAA (10)!

Just want to say, good job Gus :)

Wait, I seriously misread this as The Fortres of Forgotten Socks and was like omg?
Other than that, seems like a great tileset yes though a little confusing.

Sucks.

I always loved Blade’s Cartoonish drawing style in his tilesets. This one does the same thing, but is drawn even more professionally. This could be the best tileset from 2008, and I can say it is already one of the best ever made. And don’t forget the size, you can’t make much more tiles in an 1.23 tileset! Hopefully this will be actively used!

This is a fairly solid level pack. It starts off poorly though, only picking up about 3 or 4 levels in. After that the quality of the levels jumps considerably. There are still some annoying elements though (find the hidden crate!!!). The ending left me rather amused since it’s so… unique, so this gets 0.5 bonus points for that.

The level design here is spectacular, with gameplay elements that are unique to this level pack. Some of it does get a bit repetitive, but it never gets boring. It’s too bad this pack is unfinished, which is why I’m not giving it a 10. If this had a proper story and a bit more polish to the levels, it would probably be the best jj2 episode ever.

I had high expectations for this tileset and it turned out even better than I thought it would be. It’s a very hard to use tileset, but luckily it comes with a good example level that showcases everything that can be done with it. This is one of the best tilesets I have seen in ages.

One thing to note: you NEED to include the tilesets in the zip file or other people may not be able to play the levels.

No animated titles, no triggers.:(

Gameplay

When I started playing this level it looked very nice and of high quality. However, when I went to the top of the level, I saw that there was a huge space, in which can be jumped with springs. This space is way too big, you should have put a lot more titles there. Your level has one big platform at the bottom and a lot of little one’s floating above it. You should try to make less and bigger platforms, otherwise it’s just jumping from island to island when not standing on the lowest ground.

Eyecandy

You’ve got rain, great! You also filled up the big space in the top of your level with background titles. Though it still looks very empty and boring. You used some foreground in your level, it’s not much but, at least, it is some. There are houses and mountains in the background which have a nice movement.

Orginiality

I couldn’t find anything original here, except for the music which fits quite to the level. You should really try to make more varity in your level. Also make something other levels don’t have. Like DW got it’s 2 warps to the carrot.

Gameplay: 5
Eyecandy: 6
Originality: 4

Final Grade: 5

Sorry this one was to overrated to lett that unnotised…

Eyecandy and Gameplay are not good :S
Spaz can get stuck in the small rooms and its very small…

But Whatever…

I… I… Ahem… errr… I LOVE IT!!!

Mmm a nice light level with a good flow :)
Ill gonna host this some times i gues…

Seriously 7.8? Well I don’t say this level is bad but its not very good either. Level is linear and there are lot of empty space. Also platforms are way too big. Ammo placement is ok. Background is nice but overall eyecandy is too boring.
