Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Well this is another good tileset, but i don’t like it as much as i like some other first page tilesets like: Oddesey, Mega metropolis, Heaven, Swamps of the sleeping jaguar, Egypt, Sirius, JJ1 Turtemple, JJ1 Orbitus, JJ1 Langunicus, JJ1 Megairbase and some others like… I think i should get to the review. Here it is:

Eyecandy Possibilities:
My Rating: 8.0
Comments:
There is not much to put in the tileset as background or foreground, but there are stuff to put. Same with the sprites.

Animations:
My rating: 7.0
Comments:
There isn’t much to put as an animation, apart from scenery blocks.

Masking:
My rating: 10.0
Comments:
The masking is great, no bugs. Easy to use, hardly any confusing things.

Usability:
My rating: 9.0
Comments:
This tileset is not too easy to use, but not too hard either. But in my opinion, it can get BORING to use. I really mean that, sorry, disguise.

Oh, another JJ1 conversion, again it is one of my favourite. Thank god it is good conversion. Otherwise, i would have already criticized. Oh well, this tileset seems to have all of the JJ1 tiles. GREAT!!!!!! Has the music. Thank god. Has night version, thank FQuist (i don’t know why! Actually he made the website so thank him and Violet for making the tileset.)! Well back to my introduction, the tileset is better than your first version. Well, here is my review:

Eyecandy Possibilities:
My Rating: 8.0

This tileset seems to have hardly anything for the background but some to put on the sprite and the foreground, but that seems to be what JJ1 has so i’m fine with it.

Animations:
My Rating: 10.0
Comments:
There are enough good, accurate animations and extra tiles as animations, like destruct scenery, but why no trigger scenery or buttstomp scenery blocks. Oh well.

Masking:
My Rating: 9.7
Comments:
The masking is great, but the windows or the invisible masks are a bit confusing but oh well, i could get used to it. And i can live with it too, i think…

Usability:
My Rating: 10.0
Comments:
The tileset is not too hard to use but it can get boring after a long time but that is if you make a level like 400 × 100.

vJJ1 to vJJ2:
My rating: 10.0

There are some extra tiles which look really cool, and the graphics for this conversion seems to be more better. No tiles are missing, apart from that, this rules!

Hmm, this is great, once again you make a great music edit. This does sound exactly like it should, and as a sleep version. Nice work!

Hahahaha, I am so pathetic. I’ve been playing this level for like 2 years almost and I havent even reviewed it. Anyways, here goes:

Layout/Gameplay: I love the layout here, the base placement and stuff is fairly original and the bottom has great flow and strategy to it. I dont like some passages because they are a bit narrow and I crash into the ceiling slopes, but whatever. Warps are also strategic and a lot of multiple routes. OWNAGE.

Eyecandy: Pretty good, a bit plain in some areas but in places like the bottom its really awesome. Nothing too original about it, but Im satisfied with it either way.

Placement of stuff: Decent, powerups are placed alright except the Toaster is way closer to the red base then the seeker is to the blue base. Also, no idea why you put pepper spray here, since it wasnt needed that much, but you could’ve placed more of it here then 3 +3 ammos on each side. Carrot placement is good except the red side has the +1 carrot while the blue side doesnt >|||. Although, strangely, this never bothered me in duels…

Originality: Yeah. Back when it was released, it was pretty original, and hey, people still play it today!

Overall (Not an average): One of my favorite CTF levels, heck, one of my favorite levels. I’ve played this for years and I still love it. Lots of strategy (and camping ;D) involved, I almost love this as much as SBv2. The music is also a good fit, and is hilarious when it speeds up to like 5x the speed when you die at times because of a jj2 glitch. ;D.

RATING TIME >|||:
Layout/Gameplay: 8.7
Eyecandy: 8.2
Placement of Stuff: 8.7
Originality: 8.2
Overall (not an average): 9.4
Final Rating: 8.64 rounded up to an 8.7. This is among the top best CTF levels imo (and the top overhosted ones) so if you don’t have it, you should definately get this. I feel so stupid for not reviewing it beforehand.

Ok, Space Race, using the Lost viking set by Jaws, here goes:

This level is pretty nice to play, I like the obstacles in this because its one of those fast paced races. The layout is a bit crowded here, you could’ve tried spreading out the level a bit and widening some of the passages. There is a lot of eyecandy, but the bars do get annoying because they’re basically everywhere =\. Tileset use is pretty good, except around 69,43 where the purple asteroids are gets confusing because they blend in with the ones in the backround. You used the good ol’ Aryx music, and it fits alright. There aren’t a lot of pickups placed, just ice and TNT, and they are placed that you have to go a bit out of the way to get them. This is nice, although more of it could’ve been placed on the track so it will be easier to get. In a couple of places this level has multiple routes, which is good. It’s not too original, although the float up thing in the start is pretty cool, and I honestly havent seen the narrow passage ways dividing into different routes seen in any other level O.o. Overall I like the way this level is made, although a few things in it could’ve been done better (more ammo, less of those ‘bar’ things, maybe a bit wider in some areas) Anyways, rating time:
Layout/Gameplay: 8.1
Eyecandy: 7.4
Placement of Stuff: 7.3
Originality: 7.7
Overall (Not an average): 8.1
Final Rating: 7.72 rounded down to a 7.7. We don’t get a lot of race levels here, and this one is a pretty good one, so definately a download reccomendation, and good job.

Y’know what, I’ve been looking for this program for years. Having over 500 levels in my jazz2 directory, gets really annoying, because a lot of the levels I want to play (the SP ones) with a diff. difficulty setting don’t appear in the lists and other MP levels by people who neglected to check off “Hide in homecooked levels list” do. Well, finally. This program works efficiently, even has extra features such as a filter search. Its accurate, it works, I love it. The only things that prevent me from rating this a 10 is that the layout could’ve been a tad more exciting, and perhaps show a bit more details on the levels (i.e, the tileset it uses?). Anyways, THANK YOU. I seriously needed something like this, and this is exactly what I needed. 9.2 for you, and a definite download reccomendation.

Layout
This was good. It had some easy obstacles, but some were quite confusing. Some of the obstacles were just… Boring. You almost didn’t have to do anything, except press a button to move spaz or jazz.

Eyecandy
O.o The bars in the background were just.. Annoying. They were at almost every obstacle. The background with all the stars.. Well… You could have put in alot less stars. Some tiles were repeated. You did use animations! Woo! But, at the part with the airboard, there is this spikey thing. That thing is really strange. It doesn’t do anything, except moving around. It does not move you around. The repeating ground tiles are understandable. If you would change from space to sand it wouldn’t work.

Music and Tileset
The name and the tileset fit. The music too…

Pickups
Yes, but not alot. Ice and TNT. They sure are fun though! Some nice places. At some palces they are offroad, and at some you can just pick them up as you run ^_

Rating
7.5

Heh, this was cool. Better than the Sluggion remix, 8.2 for you! Pretty relaxing just like you said, kinda fun to listen to. Dang no reviews after the previous 35 downloads, Harsh..[This review has been edited by Rapcore]

It’s kinda irritating, sorry, because It’s a little high pitched on the ears. Although it really does fit the theme like you said, It’s slow, interesting, and not too bad. Sorry, not relaxing though.[This review has been edited by Rapcore]

Let’s see here, what we got here is a pretty fun race level, using a perfectly converted cool tileset. Ok, you included all necessary things to play the game, the music was a good choice, graphix are good, tileset usage was good. About the only thing bad, was that it was a little too easy, you should make it more of a challenge.

Overall, I recommend this level, the people should play this.[This review has been edited by Rapcore]

Well apparently the people say this works, but I hope a 1.23 version comes out.

No-one reviewing this? Well, I think this is a great level, especially for your 2nd level. I uploaded a megairbase level recently, and it is a bit like this, i’ll say how later. This is a good level. Now you can see my review: LEVEL: 25000 miles above the earth My rating: 8 General Comments: Well, i’ve seen this level before but last time it was buggy. This version is better, and it uses Violet’s JJ1 megairbase really nicely! Eyecandy: My Rating: 9.0 Comments: The eyecandy is great, the background has been used really nicely! Compared to mine it pwns. But i think the rockets go too slow. Also the sprite eyecandy is really good. Nice windows, nice crystals, nice walls, nice caution thingies and so on. Gameplay: My Rating: 7.0 Comments: Well, in general, the gameplay is good, yet the part with the full NRG is annoying. You have to shoot it down, i hate that! Sorry, i’m quite fussy. The suckertubes were placed nicely, but i think they go too slow. The flow is simple and good apart from some parts. Also the part with the 2 powerups at the top, is kind of annoying in my opinion. Placement: My rating: 8.0 Comments: Well, the placement is a bit normal, good springs, good ammo, good suckertubes and so on. Apart from that full NRG… Also the placement, could have a bit of better flow to it meaning, springs should hit you to another or springs hit you into all the ammo that is there and you get it all. Apart from that this level is great. Overall: My average rating: 8.0 Download: Yes Host: Yes Learn from: Yes

K, ill rate this, just not now. :P

Bah, I was going to do this. Oh well. By the looks of this it doesn’t have all that many features, anyway. I’ll review a bit later when I’m more familiar with the program.

I have to say, this is very useful. Especially if level isn’t on Home Cooked list (danged option in JCS), and it’s passworded. Also, if you remember only name of level, you can search it here as well. My only complain is that files are completely messed up in list. Anyway, this is l33t program and I reccommend it to all TSFers (only 1.24? Bad.)

I promised i would review, and i think it seserves the rating i am going to give. (For all who don’t know and who care, I am Ragnarok). I may be a stupid overrater, but i love this pack, especially because it can be hosted online. Well enough talking, here is my promised review: LEVEL1 Cat Maze: My rating: 8.7 General comments: Well, this level is fun and also quite tactical. It works with good timing and good skill and also a good memory. My favourite thing about the level is that it is fun yet challenging. Quite a few race levels that are challenging, are not fun. Eyecandy: Well, you chose a great tileset. And a great person made it. But really the eyecandy of this level is kind of good, but not extremely heavy! But it is good. I love the cats and the waterfalls. No tilebugs which is great! Gameplay: Well the level is fun. And the level is big, which makes it a challenge, but what is even better is that it is fun. Good spring placement, good flow, easy going (if you know what to do). This is great again. Placement: Pickups were placed nicely and so were all of the other events. Some animations could be annoying, apart from the cats, they are cool. LEVEL2 Some race level: My rating: 9.0 General comments: I love the beginning of the level, where there are destruct tiles but for different guns. That looks like my favourite part. The eyecandy is kind of RUXOR! Blah Blah, i can go on. Eyecandy: The eyecandy again is heavy. But i kind of prefer the previous level’s eyecandy, but again it is good. Gameplay: The gameplay is heavy especially the spring placement and the part at the beginning. But the levels can be gay if there is lag but there is hardly any for me (at race). Placement: Placement is great but i don’t have much to say. OVERALL: My average rating: 8.7 Host often: Definately! Download: Go on, are you dumb?

I saw this hosted so many times I might as well review it. Firstly, this is a pretty big level with no carrots. I like the fact that it has no carrots because it would be really hard to kill someone if this did have carrots. There are lots of powerups, and the seeker is in a 100 coin coinwarp. There are a lot of coins in this level and they are pretty easy to get, so that shouldn’t be too much of a problem. Layout is alright, I’m not particularly fond of the bottom areas but the top is good. Pickups are placed alright. The eyecandy is about average, more of it would’ve been welcome. Overall, this is a pretty spiffy level that I’d probably play a few times in the future (especially since EvilMonkey keeps hosting it ;D). Apologies for the short review, and RATING TIME >|.

Layout/Gameplay: 8
Placement of Stuff: 7.5
Eyecandy: 7
Originality: 7.5
Overall (not an average): 7.7
Final Rating: 7.54, rounded down to a 7.5. Pretty decent level, and I await to see more from you in the future, download reccomendation. ;D.

JJ1 Industrius was one of my favourite tilesets and levels. Thank god there is a good conversion of it here. The original one you can get with JJ2 kind of sucks. This one is better. Well here is your review: Eyecandy Possibilities: My Rating: 7/10 Comments: It is good that you can put animating tiles for eyecandy. But it is bad that it is one of the only things you can put in the Background. This kind of isn’t too good. There isn’t much to put as a decoration. =P Animations: My Rating: 8/10 Comments: It has all of the JJ1 animations and some other really cool one which i don’t remember seeing in JJ1. The background animations are nice for the buildings. =D Masking: My rating: 9/10 Comments: All the masks are like the ones in JJ1. Except one i think. You could have also added a tile for an upside-down slope. =P Usability: My rating: 8/10 This tileset can get kind of boring after using it for long. The tileset is easy to use. But there are 2 missing tiles. =P There is not any ceiling corner tile. =P again vJJ1 to vJJ2: My rating: 9/10 Comments: The graphics has improved, but some tiles from JJ1 are missing. The animation of the wall moving can be done but it isn’t as smooth as how the JJ1 version moves. Overall: My average rating: 8.2 EXACTLY Download Recommendation: Yes Build with: Yes

I expected a good hotel. Not some rubbish **** that looks like some tornado wrecked it…… there is only one room witch u can’t get into. And it’s VERY small. But the only good thing is a good JJ2 Music file.
