Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

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.

@I changed the rating from 2.2 to 1.7[This review has been edited by fearofdark]

Okay, to be honest before i downloaded it, i didn’t really think it will be too good, but it was. Maybe a bit overrated (actually a lot) but for your 1st upload this kind of pwns. This level isn’t extremely good, but is above average. Here is my review: Eyecandy: My rating: 8/10 Comments: Okay, the eyecandy here is really original and it kind of rules, But quite a lot of eyecandy things in the tileset are not there. The background ir really original. Good job Gameplay: My rating: 7.5/10 Comments: Well again the gameplay is good, but could be far batter. This is a fairly sized level actually it is quite big. Which is good. I hate coin warps so i won’t raise your rating coz of that. The springs are nicely placed. But the flow here isn’t magnificent. Pickups Placement: My rating: 6.5/10 Comments: The placement isn’t extremely good. Nor is it bad. I dont like the placement but it is quite good. 7.2 is what i am giving.

Another ruxor tileset by another ruxor person. this tileset absouluty pwns. i cant write a long reveiw beause i have to go in a min . so ill try to make it a good review . this lvl has the ultimate grphics it looks so realistic.
it has a lot things that u can use. im making a battle lvl frm this at the moment.it has so much selection of things to use, i could even create a battle pack using this tileset.i think this is one of the best tilesets on J2O plz make another one soon beacause ur tileset rules.i think everyone should be forced to download this lvl. if they dont they should get baned frm J20 . p.s just kiddin.

I really like this level, although i am not much of a CTFer. So here is my review: Flow:the flow was pretty haxor u could pick up weapons whilst movining on the spings when moving to the side.the spings lead to the pther spings if u run quickly.the sucker tube is faster than runnning which is a help.the sucker tubes in the platforms r usefull. layout:the lvl was partly symmetrical.it was reasonably easy to get frm one base to an other.

eyecandy: the eyecandy was ruxor for using not an extremly good tileset.i love the sucker tube effect.i also love the backround because of the rocks and rockets. the rocks and rockets gave an effect like u were inside a spaceship/spacebase.

weapon placement:the weapon placement was also really good.i like the secret plces u had to find to get the cool powerups.every thing else was ok.

music:pwns.it is cool.very exreme.

hahahaha..eyecandy > all. These levels are awesome, your my hero dude :D. For a more detailed review:

The first level (the battleships one) had good eyecandy despite it being a sucky tileset, although the eyecandy was really confusing at times. The level was rather clumped in a lot of places, and in some places it was impossible not to get hurt. The level was pretty hard though, and I like how you did the ending boss.

The second level, in the beginning, you can get stuck in the pole if you hit the hurt events (you’ll see what Im talking about if you try it), a simple one way under the pole could’ve solved this. The eyecandy was good, but there wasnt as much of it as in the 1st level. Some enemies were also nearly impossible to avoid and some springs didnt take you up as high as needed. Some parts in this level looked really awesome in eyecandy. The level was challenging, but imo easier than the previous. It was less original, though, imo, and maybe a bit short. Also, you need to place more save points in your levels.

Rating time!
First Level:
Eyecandy: 8.5
Layout: 7.2
Pickups: 7.7
Originality: 8.7
Overall (not an average): 7.7
Rating: 7.96 = 8.

Second level:
Eyecandy: 9
Layout: 7.7
Pickups: 7.7
Originality: 7.5
Overall (not an average): 8.2
Final rating: 8.02 = 8

Final rating for pack: 8
Keep making levels, these show a lot of promise, except next time make your levels a bit longer and consider adding a bit more savepoints, as well as focusing on layout and placement of things a bit more. Still, these are spiffy levels, and they get a download reccomendation. Good Job.

The best way to balance out the rating is to review it yourself. Which I recommend you all do. This is actually a good level from what I can see, especially if it is the author’s first. I will try to compile a review later if I get the chance.

mikeejimbo, it’s not that. We encourage you to post your opinions. But some people rate levels so highly, it borderlines to biasism, which isn’t exactly allowed here. Not to mention that ruins the idea of reviews:

“I make a good (actually crappy) level in only two minutes, and people rate it 9! I’m so good :p”

When rating, don’t start with 10, start with 1 and build it up! The higher you rate it, the more suspicious it gets and the more likely it gets deleted, unless you explain it thoroughly! Ok, I’m done for now. You may delete it :p

Sorry about not replying, I got logged off from J2O and didn’t realize it.

The remix was pretty good. I like the electric guitar part, and there is enough variety in the song to keep it interesting. However, the song seemed a little heavy on the percussion, and I couldn’t hear anything other than the annoying drums and the melody. I’d say this would be a great song if you toned the drums down a bit.

I’ll not rate this, because I’ll either bias the rating or get my rating removed due to a not extensive enough review.

I will as soon as a “Music” selection will be available in the “Type” position of re-uploading.

I like Single Player, so here’s my review about this one:

LEVEL DESIGN
The level design is not like in normal single player levels. The concept is, that you find 5 keys and then go to a cave where maybe a treasure is hidden. This concept is not new, but it’s something other than simply “Find the exit, or I’ll eat you” levels.

SCORE: 7.0

EYECANDY
Eyecandy is ok, but nothing really special. The level has no tilebugs, and I don’t understand why Olsen thinks the texture on layer 8 doesn’t work, because for me it worked fine. The level could use more background layers, and I guess you can make much better eyecandy with the tileset Cracco used. I’ve seen worse, tough.

SCORE: 6.5

GAMEPLAY
The gameplay is very well, tough the level has some things I don’t like. First is the water, it’s not really logic that if you jump into the water you can walk in it (because the water is on layer 5 and Cracco didn’t use the water event). The second thing is the big jump, which I didn’t manage to do with Spaz because of a masking error. After several tries I had to switch to Jazz. >:(
I also think, if there is a part which you should do with Spaz, and not with Jazz there simply should be buttstomp blocks, made in a way that only Spaz can kick them, then a sucker tube and right after them and there’s no way to do it with Jazz.

What I like is how Cracco made the Vulcano (is that a word?). It’s made very well, so congrats for that. I wished there would be some food or stuff, but there wasn’t. Also it’s plainly easy.

SCORE: 7.0

AMMO
There was only one spot with ammo in it, a cave “under” water, but you won’t need more and it’s regenerating for no reason. :P

SCORE: 6.7

BADDIES
There are very few enemies, not many tough. I think there should be more, to make the level harder. Also, Cracco, trust me, fish do not work without the water event. :P

SCORE: 5.0

HURT EVENTS AND OTHER OBSTACLES
There aren’t any hurt events, but lotsa other obstacles, mostly some jumping passages. They could be harder, I think. Also, there’s still the mistake with the jump, that you should do with Spaz, if you don’t wanna be a lamer, but that’s impossible with Spaz.

SCORE: 6.2

TILESET
I like the tileset. Don’t get mad, please, but I will now break up this review and make a level with the set. :P
I’ll finish the other sections later :)

USE OF TILESET
coming soon…

CONCLUSION
coming soon…

The only thing that really annoys me about this site is that people aren’t allowed to have opinions.

It’s not bias if he reviews them all similarly.

To quote Voltaire, “I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”[This review has been edited by mikeejimbo]

Can you please explain what it is and what you can do with it, in general? :)
I’m dumb :P[This review has been edited by PHT]

Rename the file because it may overwrite old Diamondus2.s3m made by Proximus.

First of all, I struggled with finding the secret warp and I don’t like the white flashing sky. That’s irritating.
However, eyecandy is excellent, good flow, cool weapons! Good choice of tileset. I will give this a 9.7, since there is no 9.8 ;)

I strongly recommend to download this![This review has been edited by NeoBlaze24]

This is probably the best tileset i have ever seen. IT RULES, JUST LIKE WINDSTORM FORTRESS! Well BlurredD is an extrememly good designer so i will review this tileset as an addition to his extremely good uploads! Here is review: Eyecandy Possibilities: My rating: 10.0 Comments: The tiles that can be put in the background look extremely nice. After seeing E-prime, I had to review this. The tiles are great seeing as they are hi-tech and really decorative! There are sucker-tubes and pipes that look really cool and again this tileset has things for each layer like 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. My comment is that this ruels like hell! Animations: My rating: 10.0 Comments: My comments are that the animations are really cool. Like in E-prime for example, the red and black animations look great. The flashing in the background you can make is excellent. Also the fans look really cool. Masking: My rating: 10.0 Comments: The masking rules and it isn’t confusting and all the tiles in this set fit together really nicely and there are no masking bugs. Again it rules. Usability: My Rating: 10.0 Comments: This tileset is really fun to use and is extremely resourceful. It has every tile you need for making a good level and this tileset is extremely good. Overall: My average rating: 10.0 Download Recomendation: Really high, you would be stupid not to download it. Build with: YES!!!

Many of Disgiuse’s tilesets rule, just as this does, but i don’t really care about only 200 tiles, even though it is a bit low, this is a nice tileset. I will try not to complain about the 200 tiles. Oh well here goes the review: Eyecandy Possibilities: My Rating: 7.0 There aren’t much things to put in the background layers. There is some brown wall things and Some really groovy waterfalls, Are they supposed to be translucent? The tiles can be a bit decorative. But they aren’t extremely good. The Textured background looks really cool though! Animations: My rating: 4.5 There is only a waterfall i think as animations. But the waterfall looks extremely cool so here you get a 4.5. Masking: My rating: 8.0 Well there are no masking bugs though some tiles may seem to be confusing. Apart from that the masks are great. Great work. Usability: My rating: 8.0 This tileset is easy to use, but it can get boring to build with after a long time. Apart from that, it rules again. Environmental Effects: My rating: 7.0 The lighting that can be put looks really wierd but this is an Alien Temple! I never checked if water looked good here or if pinball looks good but i don’t really think it will, or it might. The suckertubes are nice i think. Overall: My Average overall rating: 6.9~7.0 + 0.5 coz i like this.

The level is pretty boring, but lets check ya statz ;)

EYECANDY: Only about….. 2 or 3 layers use for eyecandy, you only used backround, so that means YOU DIDN’T REALY THINK MUCH ABOUT THE FORGROUND LAYERS

ITEMS: There is only 1 censored carrot in the level, no coins, no POWERUP’s. So it’s AMMO all the way through.

SIZE: IT IS SMALL!!! I mean…. make it larger, man.

GAMEPLAY: Why call it upstairs springs when it’s only got about 4 in it?? Any way. There is no gameplay in the level. And how?? Gameplay is like, the 2nd most easiest thing in the world!!

RATING: 5.2 (Not so good)

FUN-O-METER: Minus Minus something (you know why!!)

FINAL COMMENT: There is not much to say about this level, so i’ll leave it.

And finally, Alien Temple ][ by disguise. Funny how now I have 3 internets (for the 3 seperate tilesets) and 3 JCS (for the 3 seperate tilesets) to compare the sets/ratings for them now, along with calculator ;D. Anyways, review starts:

This tileset also surprised me quite a bit. The quality of the color and the sweet looking crystals etc. There are many animations in this set (waterfalls, glowing green letters) and probably more of them then in the other two sets. The color is awesome here (the textureness), although there is a small variety of it (most tiles are either brown, grey, or green). Backround is there, lots of eyecandy, awesome looking sucker tubes, hurt events, vines, but where are the destruct blocks? ;( ;( ;(. Oh well, that alien dude looks really awesome as well. I really like the crystal rain and the variation of size in the crystals you made. Rating time!:
Tiles Included (keeping in mind the 200 tile limit): 8.7
Important tiles: 7.3
Masking: 8.2
Color: 8
Animations (keeping in mind the 200 tile limit): 8.4
Overall (not an average): 7.7
final rating: 8.05, rounded down to an 8. Interesting, how all 3 tilesets, are both given 8 by me. Shows how close of a race it is =P. This is also a very sweet tileset, and would be nice if Disguise found some extra time to expand it a bit, since so far it looks awesome. Just like the other 2 sets, this gets a definite download reccomendation and congrats to wisey for making suck a good set. GJ.
