Dx’s Jazz X was started before you joined the community, actually.

I don’t change the name because (just like n00b said) I uploaded this pack first.

I didn’t know Dx had started making his own Jazz X Before me. But I follow the rules of jungle: faster beats slower

(later) Ok I changed the name a little bit. Happy now?

Dx, theres a big problem here:
You’re asking a released thing to change the name because something still being worked on has the same name.

Theres no logic to it, it’s like saying “Yo, Nintendo, we’re making a 2d platformer game with the name ‘Super Mario’, erm mind changing your series’ name for us?”

OM2004 seems to be stuck in an eternal time loop in a time before Jazz Jackrabbit Advance, and Shadow the Hedgehog(for the life of me, I have no idea what the genre the songs in that game are). But then he contradicts me, and must also live in a future where 20 seconds is the equivilent of 20 minutes. This can only mean one thing: OM2004 DOES NOT EXIST IN OUR NORMAL TIME STREAM
While I do agree the beat repeated itself a bit too much, I also have to point out that there isn’t much source material to work with, and at 3 minutes long the tune doesn’t feel too repetive. The lyrics and how they’re ‘sung’ give a distinct “Shadow” feel, but without the overly cheesy lyrics the Sega game had (“No more life, No more death” comes to mind from that game).
If you didn’t enjoy SoH’s soundtrack, I’d stray away from this, but if you enjoyed it or are curious go ahead and click that download button.

No, no no no, and no. That wasn’t cool at all.
The song took too long to download for the value of the song. The song repeated it’s beat way too much. It never had a climax, and has weird talking sound that was creapy. I know that you have listed the lyerics, but still it was just bad.
And I know you made it for the anniversary, but still this song has nothing to do with jazz at all! So i don’t even know why it’s on here.
So, thanks for the thought, but I don’t recommande this song to anyone.

This game is very good. I enjoyed it alot. There were a few problems with it that made it get a 8 instade of a 9.
First the story line is a bit shaky. It’s like you didn’t know what you wanted to happinen in the first few levels. And how Jazz was put up against Daven wasn’t very good, and a bit confusing.
What might help out your story line is if you spaced out your Text massages in the game. If you are walking down the level and Text appierers then you MUST stop to read it, because if you go on then you won’t have time to read it.
Something else that would have helped is if you put in a boss more often like other reviews have said. I thought there were going to be a good amount of them after seeing two in a row, but that was it.
The last thing I didn’t like was, NO SAVE POINTS. What I hate the most about long levels is when the creater puts in 1 save point and it’s at the end! Nothing is more fussterating then when you get close to the end and die by a hiddin monkey! Please add some to your long levels.
Now the reason why I gave this a 8 instead of a 5 is because of two things:
1. The music was some of the best Jazz game music I have heard in a long time.
2. The last levels made. Closer to the end your story line stayed more consistent and that means, the levels also stayed consistent. The finile levels were some of the best levels I have seen. The background was great, the level was hard, but beatable. And it wasn’t a gaint puzzle game where you spend 5 hours trying to break 15 metel boxs in the right order. Loved it!
So there you have it. Now since your story line is good, I look forward for the next set of levels, and I hope you fix problems.

THIS LEVEL WAS EXTREMELY COOL.

EYECANDY: it was extremely good for the optins in the tile set.

Drawing style:This had an intestering color and style to it that i realey enjoyed

Tiles: Were extremely good even though thre were not many.

Adimation: Very good detail and wonderful signs.The adimation was just extreme

Music:The music was the best of all.If the music wondn’t have being so good i would have rated this level 4.5

[Unsupported rating (10) removal. Please. The music really doesn’t count for ~ 65% of the rating. You can’t rate a level you consider bad this way just because of the music. Also, your reasons for rating just lack. You say you like the level yet you wish to rate 4.5. It would be good if you would think a bit more about your reviews. – FQuist]

Even before the review I can say, Ouch! This was just about as bad as the Freak-E level I released. One problem is that you passworded your level even though there was no point because the level is bad. The review:

EYECANDY:
All was fine and I was happy until I took one look at this level. The eyecandy on the sprite layer could use a little bit of work….no, LOTS of work. Tile errors is one of the many things that are wrong in this level. Another is the idea of having snow and rain in a hot, redish brown medieval castle with fire. The rain is not a problem if its in the back round but snow should only be used in winter, candy or mythical levels. In this case, it makes it look silly. Another problem is that you could see nothing below the floor tiles which counts as a tile error. The countless amount of these errors gives you the lowest eyecandy score.
RATING: 1.0

GAMEPLAY:
Not nice. The texts keep saying messages explaining that you’re doomed when I could only lose 2 hearts playing the level. The trigger puzzles are nice but simple and the platforms over the spikes have so narrow gaps that I could just walk over them. The worst is near the end with the bilsy boss. To make it “challenging” is the narrow gaps again. An error is born when bilsy dissapears, he can appear on one of the gaps and not fall off as if he’s floating. You need a certain type of arena for Bilsy but here, the arena is so small that Bilsy can hide in the walls making him impossible to shoot.
RATING: 2.9

ITEMS:
Very few items. There is some triggery bits at the beggining you just stomp, and then some crates and you get a some Powerups and a 30 second shield. There is also some hooks you climb to reach a ‘very easy to get’ 1UP. The worst is at the end where to help you, you get a lot of fastfires and a Full Energy carrot.
RATING: 1.9

AVERAGE RATING: 1.9

BONUS:

MUSIC:
Basic JJ2 which suits really well used in the origional JJ2. Boring. +0

TILESET:
Aaacck +0

BONUS: 0
FINAL RATING: 1.9
RANK: 1 The worst level rank ever
DOWNLOAD?: Its just that bad that it should be downloaded so that he world can laugh at it.
FINAL COMMENT:
You could certainly do better than that. To avoid these comments, read reviews carefully and spend as much time as you want on a level or level pack.

Jazzbusters: I think the idea whith this level packs is to collect some of the best levels from J2O.

And also, you should maybe read the description before you review. n00b says: “If you want, you can review the exclusive levels, otherwise do NOT rate the pack.”

(Rating removal. n00b has stated that “If you want, you can review the exclusive levels, otherwise do NOT rate the pack.” The rest of the levels are not being presented as his own work, just as a compendium of levels for a playing experience, much like the Anniversary Bash Battle and CTF packs, which are also not comprised exclusively of levels made by the compiler. ~Violet)

Something I forgot to mention, the exclusive levels made for this pack MUST be played in 8-bit, with low detail off.

After that, for the most part, you can play on whatever settings you have.
