Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Your level is not bad at all, don’t listen to the previous guy, although ive rated it a 6.5 i nearly put a 7.

Good points to the level:
The tileset is nice and detailed and appropriate,
The name “flooded valley” is quite effective and a good name for the level,
The structure of the sprite layer is quite strategically laid out,
I just love that bit on the left where you can fall all the way down the level,

All in all its just a nice level, however you can make some improvements, ofcourse :P.

Bad points to the level:
The background is quite bad, and this is probably the level’s worst quality – it is really half-arsed done lol, one of your background layers only has a width of 1 block! However, on this kind of level a simple background is quite ideal, though not as simple as you’ve made it.

The level is also a bit platformy and veering towards being a capture the flag level. You could benefit from closing off a few passage ways and making the level more one-way style, but not too much.

Some parts are quite hard to jump to, especially with Jazz, you may want to make the jumps less extreme, however your springs are placed in really good locations and this kind of makes up for this.

Summary

Weldone, this is a level that I wouldn’t mind having a few battles in with 5-16 people, however its not suited much for one on one basis.

The background is its worst asset and the structure of the level is probably its best asset, but however with the size of the level you have chosen and the tileset’s simple nature, you would find it hard to make a level under this specification that goes beyond a 7.5

I’m now a quite late reviewer. It’s been more than a year since this was released, and I was too lazy to review this, but lately this level has really impressed me. Excellent job Snooze! Here’s what it’s about:

The eyecandy is used in several layers and ain’t after all that confusing since he used only specific tiles for each layer. I thought that you, Blax, sometime even liked solid tiles in bg-layers, eh? Anyways, there was even put some extra to the front layers. But Snooze did really good work with this still however.

The size of the level(small-medium I suppose) fits the layout perfectly! The sucker tubes are great thing if you’re at low health and/or chased. With them, you can trick your opponent and as well set camp to the bottom of the level if he/she is not familiar with them. There are some thinner platforms, as well there are some really solid ones. It was still possible to get stuck into the walls covering the tube near to the blaster-pu. Though the layout and flow were quite fantastic, the level itself still lacked of even a small original concept which high-quality levels should have, though Snooze’s levels have mostly been like this however. A few other start positions could have been nice also.

The placement of stuff is somewhat allright. The choice of 2 +1 carrots for their positions is great but the way ammo was placed could have been a bit better. The PU-choice(Blaster, Bouncer, Toaster) wasn’t a bad idea either, nor that approx. half of the pickups were food, which would give the player sugar rush after playing some time.

So overall I’d say this is worth of 8.2 and it has lately been one of my favorite battle-levels. Most people have still ignored it due to probably that Snooze’s previous uploads hadn’t had as high quality or something. I’d probably given Snooze something around 8.7-9.2 even if he made a pack with dozen of levels with this quality. I would like if he sometime converted this into tb or ctf, because I even thought of how the bases could be placed really well!

So download this and go host, or ask somebody else to host if you can’t. Though I believe barely anyone will happen to read this review because this level’s that old already. Well, if you did, then GG. =D

it was the best

8 hours isn’t really a lot to spend on a level. Most good levels are done in the course of a week or so. Some levels in more advanced 3D games take up to a year to make by one person!

Just remember, the amount of time you spend actually working on your level, tinkering with it and changing layouts to make it fit better, will increase the level quality and playability by a lot. If you can’t think of anything else to add, host a beta test server and ask for ideas. Unless you get a server full of idiots that say “rotfl add ten million tube events lolzord” or something like that, you’re bound to be able to get new ideas. That brings up one more point; be able to take criticism. Most people won’t flame you, but if they say stuff like “the way you did the eyecandy was pretty awful,” don’t feel bad about it. Everyone can improve, and you’re just starting out anyway.

How to fix:
Delete all Controller Files (except zip)

Keep repeating until it works!

2nd review after holiday!!

EYECANDY: 16/20
Great eyecandy!!! You’ve use the backround layers and foreground layers perfectly. Ther only thing that got on my nerves was that some of the foreground eyecandy was blocking the view.

GAMEPLAY: 14/20
I was not sure on the gameplay. There are a few obsticles in the game which are too easy and some are too hard. Still not the best gameplay.

ITEMS: 16/20
The items seem to be placed properly. My only concern is that there are some places with 2 or 3 carrots in one area and need to be scattered (and get rid of a few).

HAZZARDS: 15/20

Replace a few crabs. The hurt scenary is fine but you are overusing crabs in this level.

OTHERS: 15/20

The size of the level is normal but I got stuck at one point.

SCORE: 76/100

RATING: 7.5

COMMENT: Good rating and I would recommend dowloading this. There is still room for improvement but a 7.5 isn’t bad.

I think very good,easy and useful program.
9.2 or 9.5 from me!!
Do you know different version of this program?Send me a private message please if you know.
Thanks

I was browsing levels and I noticed that since these levels weren’t actually rated and only a few jj1 levels were actually made, I decided to rate them. That and the fact that jazz1 levels are a pain in the neck to create more than justifies this review.

Eyecandy
————

Pretty good. When moving from one area to the next, tiles seem to flow into the next. One minute you’re in a yellow cavern and the next you’re in a darkened open area with suckertubes. Background tiles are used in a unique fashion giving each of these areas a real unique feel. This gets an 8 here.

Originality
—————-

These levels were clearly just modified versions of the originals, so this takes a toll here. However, the fast cloud moving sparks and moving electrical barriers add to these fast paced levels. The shootable ground shooters add a nice touch for if they are carefully taken out, doing so can make a particular area much easier.

This gets a 7.0

Fun
—-

Albeit these levels are fast paced, they aren’t just shoot-kill-move-to-the-next-area kind. The levels breathe of many secret areas and sidepaths that house a plethora of goodies and baddies. Some spots are arranged in such a way that if you move too fast then they send you back to earlier parts of the levels, so the gameplay doesn’t drag you down.

8.5 here.

Layout
———

Platforms are well placed and allow easy access to the next area. Some spots have difficult to climb platforms or obstacles to get to secret areas. Ammo placement is good as well and the length adds to the level’s overall funness. However, although each area is original, the player feels like he’s in a suckertube half the time, causing everything to pass by in a blur.

7.5 here.

Summary
———-

The levels aren’t very memorable, but you certianly enjoy playing them.

Overall: 7.7

Note: These levels are for the shareware version only.

The song isn’t bad just sounds like it lacks something a to me…not really sure what..anyway good song!

I’m the second :)

While I’m not really a talented reviewer, I’ll give my best shot commenting on this pack. Some of the cons was the eye candy. While Evilmike sure did focus on getting the levels huge, there was no special touches in this that drove you..

What am I saying?!? This thing rocks. Go download it now. The levels are worked well through, the music zooms you into the levels. Jumping from spaceship to spaceship and destroying a whole fleet, performing advanced missions such as destroying central computers, this pack brings an amazing new style.

Go save the universe, fanboy!

Not only am I the first downloader, I am the first commenter.

I particulary liked this tubelectric remix, but it feels like a mere instrument change at times.

This is the first review i’ve done in several months, but anyway:

EYECANDY: 7/20
Not very good. Poor eyecandy for most levels that get 7.

GAMEPLAY: 15/20
This has good gameplay but not the best. Pinball is interesting but the frog game is hard and I don’t really like tooo hard. You were right about the matrix.

ITEMS: 7/20

I can’t really describe items.

SIZE: 14/20

For a game level it should be big. And it is.

OTHERS: 12/20

Thye matrix game let the level down but the game was interesting.

OVERALL SCORE: 55/100

RATING: 5.5

COMMENT: To be honest, it’s not that great but it is over 5.0 so it’s not completely bad. A dissapointing start for me.
