Hi Tubular Motion 2 is just a playground with a lot of suckers, springs warps etc. etc.

I don’t see this is a battle level, cuz when you move once to the left/right or you just jump once you will be warped, sucked, jumped to another place.
That’s cool for sometime, but after 20 minute’s playing online I know the whole level and then I’m bored playing JJ2.

The Eyecandy su*ks. You barely used layer 3, wich is Tube electric great for. Atleast you could a bit more in layer 5, wich you also didn’t do. No layer 6, no layer 7, no layer 2, no layer 1. Pfff…

I give it a 6 because the level itself just is once big rollercaoster. And fun to play sometimes.

Seriously, I think that “Helpful Rating” things should be disabled for N/A’s. Look at danyjel’s review helpfulness. It was a comment, not a review…

Joseph Collins is cool man. His average rating sctrictness is -1.6 and his average rating is 4.1. His rating sctrictness would be much bigger if his rating wouldn’t count to all ratings. Just try to guess why everything what he rates has low rating.

For: Wind Meister Trilogy
Level rating: 8.2
Rating
6.7

Introduction:
This has to be the most cruel, evil, and outright irritating set of “trick” levels known to this website.

Level Analyses:
Wind Meister
I couldn’t get past Level 11, I think it was. The area with the Lit TNT. There’s “hard” and then there’s “throw-the-effing-controller-at-the-screen”.
Wind Meister 2
Couldn’t get past Level 6. I’m not stupid. . . I’m sure if I tried long enough, I could figure it out. There’s gotta be a reason for that Freeze Hourglass to be there. . .
Wind Meister 3
Almost finished this one. No Wind Tunnel stopped me. Nor a puzzle. No. . .what stopped me was. . .a freaking bug. On the “Final” map(I don’t trust that text for a minute), I apparently had enough velocity to throw myself directly through a wall. I tried to get out, but that only made me stick in the wall further. Jumping also made me sink. How throughly did you test this map? You apparently didn’t check to see if the level was Jazz 2-related bug proof. You should know by now if you get enough velocity, you can throw yourself through solid walls. With the combined wind and me Sprinting, it didn’t take much imagination for me to get jammed in a wall. Therefore, I am throughly disgusted with Jazz Jackrabbit 2 right now.

Documentation Analysis:
The documentation was little more than a “Have fun!” notice and a plug for your website. No file list? Some people like file lists in their documentation. . . It helps them host servers a lot easier, considering it’s sometimes hard to remember certain level names.

Final Analysis:
I hate each and every one of these levels. If it were personally up to me, I’d rate this thing a 3.2 and leave it at that. However, I have to be fair about how I rate this package. . . So. . . Based on the interesting and unique level, but buggy designs, and fair-to-poor documentation, I say a 6.7 is fair.
I also recommend this for download if you want to frustrate yourself trying to get through the various devilish and evil levels that “Windy Tests” hath spawned.

Edit II: Rating reinstated and first edit zonked for personal reasons.

It sounds only vaguely like Lagunicus. The insturments don’t really do much justice to it either.

For: Dreempipes Chaos
Level rating: 4
Rating
1

Introduction:
. . .the single-most pathetic arrangement of Dreempipes this site has ever known.

Song Analysis:
Dreempipes, sped up, and almost all samples changed to a trumpetty thing. That’s about it. Trust me, it’s not a pretty sight. It’s off-key and then some.

Sample Analysis:
No. The samples do not work with this sample-swap/tempo-increase arrangement.

Final Analysis:
Horrible. Simply horrible.

For: Technoir remix
Level rating: 5.2
Rating
2.2

Introduction:
A disappointing arrangement of Technoir with some random sound effects thrown in for effect.(Which doesn’t help it at all.)

Song Analysis:
It’s Technoir. What else do you need to know? Nothing has been added(to Technoir’s theme), but a few things’ pitches have shifted dramatically.

Sample Analysis:
The samples hurt my ears. The trumpets in particular. Irritating as all get-out. The random sound effects also don’t add a darned thing to this arrangement.

Final Analysis:
Not worth the time to download. . .

Introduction:
Holidaius, sped up to about twice its normal tempo, and with some supposedly “unused” patterns added.

Song Analysis:
What was the point in increasing the tempo? Seriously? What was the point?

Final Analysis:
You didn’t need to speed it up at all. That made it sound terrible. And the new patterns weren’t worth unburying. No rating given for this one(seeing as it’s not his), but it’s not worth the download.

For: Jazz Jackrabbit GBA menu remix
Level rating: 2.6
Rating
1.2

Introduction:
A remix of the Jazz Jackrabbit GBA title theme that sounds absolutely nothing like it’s supposed to.

Song Analysis:
This isn’t “Jazz Jackrabbit Advance” at all. I’ve heard the title theme playing about a million times due to me playing the game on Normal and Hard mode to unlock everything I could(GameFAQs mission, basically), and this. . .is not the Jazz Jackrabbit Advance theme song. At all. It sounds more like parts of Letni mixed with some original garbage than anything.

Sample Analysis:
The samples are alright, if not a little loud in some parts.

Final Analysis:
This is garbage if you’re looking for something Jazz Jackrabbit-related. Otherwise, it’s an alright piece of original music. I guess. . .

For: Letni Remix
Level rating: 6.6
Rating
3.7

Introduction:
It’s Letni! But with bright trumpets and better drums. And that’s about it.

Song Analysis:
I noticed right away that the “bippity-beep” sounds are totally rearranged. They’re all over the place! Which works. The song itself isn’t all that rearranged, however, aside from the guitars in the middle.

Sample Analysis:
There’s also better drums and a new trumpet sample. And some guitars towards the middle. Nothing else is really new.

Final Analysis:
Not a bad arrangement, but certainly not the best.

Speed up and drums down, folks.

Song Analysis:
It’s Technoir! With a faster tempo and better drums! And that’s it! Whee!!

Sample Analysis:
The new samples work well enough with Technoir.

Final Analysis:
Technoir never sounded closer to the original than this. Not much of a remix at all. Hardly worth the time it took to download.

For: Menusng vs. Medivo Remix
Level rating: 6.6
Rating
6.7

Introduction:
Hah! Medivo meets the Menu Song, and in a good way.

Song Analysis:
The song does what it promises by bringing Medivo to the Menu Song. And it sounds really good, too. It’s a little empty in some places, but nothing too huge.

Sample Analysis:
The samples are of the original samples from the two songs and seem to work well together.

Final Analysis:
Download this song for the novelty of it. It’s a cute song.

Introduction:
A. . .very nice metal arrangement of Diamondus. I’m surprised.

Song Analysis:
There are a couple of bad notes here and there, and in parts, the drums freak out, but otherwise, this works, and works very well! You should be proud!

Sample Analysis:
The samples do their job exceedingly well in this arrangement.

Final Analysis:
This was so worth the download. I’m glad I got to hear this. Download it if you’re a fan of heavy metal, folks.

Level rating: 3.8

2.2

Introduction:
Diamondus slowed down to a crawl with some birdy samples added in just for fun.

Song Analysis:
Nothing much to say about this song, considering it’s just Diamondus at 1/5 its normal tempo.

Sample Analysis:
I hate the bird samples. I don’t care much for the rest of the samples, either. But they work well enough.

Final Analysis:
Eh. . . It’s okay, but it’s just a sample-swap/tempo-drop. . .

Introduction:
Slugion being reduntant to the first syllable of its name. And not in a good way.

Song Analysis:
At this slow tempo, the song sounds broken and damaged. More so than the common S3M rips would have you figure.

Sample Analysis:
Oh god, my ears!! No! The samples do not work for this song! Period!

Final Analysis:
Please don’t ever make these again. Thank you.

Introduction:
Another sample-swap/tempo-drop song. Geezus. This one actually sounds almost acceptable, however.

Song Analysis:
Nipius. Slowed down to a crawl.

Sample Analysis:
Oddly enough, the samples in this “sleepy arrangement” actually do seem to work for once.

Final Analysis:
Worth the download, oddly enough. However, still far from being worthy of a high score.
(Unsupported rating (2.2) removal. I am unable to turn the words you wrote into the rating you gave. Your criticism seems to be that it’s slowed down… how does that translate into a 2.2? ~Violet)
