Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

I may be late, but Happy Birthday anyway. My review is coming up.
Introduction: This is a tileset created by BlurredD, and I heard him talking about this tileset somewhere.
Eye candy/animations: this tileset is full of eye candy. There is alot of stuff in it. There are alot of that brown tiles or however it is called. The tileset has alot of animations in it. I saw that in the example level. This tileset has more than one sort of platform to run on. This is a good thing, because it will be boring if there is one. That’s why the tileset is quite big.
Easy to use: This tileset is not like Blade’s first tilesets, but also not like Agama’s. I think this tileset is not too easy to use, but also not too hard. I think it’s quite hard to make no bugs in your levels with this tileset, but I think you don’t have too many problems with that if you are good in level creating.
Size: This tileset has 940 tiles, and that’s quite big. This means it’s not too easy to use it very good, but you can use some parts of it and if you are planning to make more levels with it, use other parts of it.
Build with this: Yes, you should build with this if you are bored and can’t find a tileset to make a level with. If you are not good in creating levels, you should try an easy tileset first. But you will probably become better and after some time, you can use this tileset too.
Do I build with this: Maybe, if I am bored from some tilesets.
Others: I recommend you to build Multiplayer levels with this tileset, like BlurredD already said in the description of this tileset.
Conclusion: This is a nice tileset created by BlurredD. Download recommendation: if you are good in JCS and just want to use new tilesets for your levels. No download recommendation: If you hate tilesets or creating levels.
My final rating: 9.0.

I’m not really in a mood to rate this as this looks quite like some weirdo thingy. So I say some things again in a simple way.(Or complicated?)

Now I found this out that this is also a level serie. It seems like you would be copying me as I made ultimate-command serie. Well I couldn’t make a copyright thingy for this idea, but I don’t like it as you..well..erm, like saw my episode and then you got an idea…YAY!! I MAKE MY OWN LEVEL-SERIE ALSO!!!YAY!! And you thought you can make a better one also, so you put an intro which’s tileset is made with that programmeh. And you put much same kind of commanding-thingies to your levels, but you made a lot of shorter episode than me. Well..I’m not sure that did you really wanted to copy meh but I don’t care by this stage so much that I would get angry, etc.

Then you used some converted JJ1-tileset and it seemed a bit crappy. It makes the originality thingy already quite poor. At least you included your own music etc. Other thingies were quite well done but originality but gameplay are some questionable, at least for me. But I’m not in a mood to rate this as this would be something too complicated for meh, but this doesn’t mean that I couldn’t rate my own episode if I would be able to..You know what I mean?

Hope you learned something about this. I wonder that does the name sonic, something like copy, as your not the first sonic-named on j2o who like copies others some and makes unoriginal things, as I remember Sonic the Hedgedog-game.

First off, happy birthday.

The tileset is very pleasing to look at. There are some cool tiles you casn use to make effects like lightning, which can add a lot to the feel of a level using the set. But best of all, the set is farily easy to use. It’s pretty easy to find the tiles you’re looking for, and so far I haven’t found any tiles that seem to clash or mismatch at all.

THE GOOD:
Looks nice, great animations.

THE BAD:
Inexperienced level makers may have trouble using it properly.

THE UGLY:
I can’t really find anything “UGLY” about this set, except that I strongly feel it needs to have Fooruman in it.

Like Superjazz said, happy birthday. =D Great animations, and the tileset isnt too hard to use! Extremly good, in the way that the tileset isnt missing anything, (unlike some i dont like to mention). Good it has an example lvl, and music, and 3 different tilesets, very interesting tileset, It has all the tiles i would need. there are many things for all layers.i plan to use this in the future! =D.. keep it up!

Happy birthday to you…Blur

But now onto review.

———————————————

TILE AMOUNT / USEFULNESS
Yes, there is quite big choice of tiles which to use, and they are quite handful and look fine. Nothing else to add…Maybe something very little lacks or some things could have been done better that I would give 10, but 9 is fine also. Maybe some destruct scenery, etc.
9/10

GRAPHICS / EYECANDY
It’s fine but I would have wished for more background-eyecandy stuff, like mountains or desert.
9/10

TILE LINKING
This is perfect! This doesn’t seem to lack any kind of a tile like a bottom of a floor for an example.
10/10

ORIGINALITY
Some tiles look some about the disguise-tileset type and the turret idea also. It’s fine but not really original idea. I give this 8 in this case.
8/10

EVENT STUFF
I saw hook, vine and something else like this. But I waited for some more of animating tiles and lack of hurt-events I also noticed. I know as the blur said that this is basically meant for multiplayer-levels, like ctf, battle but there could be some kind of them anyways.
8/10

REALIZATION
It looks quite nice and it really involves me into the tileset like I would really be there, it doesn’t look so silly that I would be so confused. But how about this wind then?
9/10

+ OR – EXTRA POINTS

-1 No readme or another kind of information
+1 Example levels
+1 Three types of tilesets

OVERALL: 52:6=8.67~8.7
TILESET RANK: Good tileset
DOWNLOAD RECOMMENDATION: Probably yes, this can be useful.

ENDING COMMENTS: Nice tileset! I think that I’m gonna use this tileset some time and others also. Once more, happy birthday for you and your tileset. Unfortunately I don’t have a present for you. ;P
It looks like I would be able to build some kind of modern castle as this is a fortress, and windy one.
PS. YAY!!! Doom-sound effects in the music you included in this pack for the battle level. r0x!

EDIT: I find some of these comments completly unneeded. Calling a level the worst CTF level in the world regardless of wether it was true or not, is very discouraging. Honestly, remarks like those are the things which make people never touch jcs again.[This review has been edited by Inf. Spaz]

Some tileset review.
Introduction: This is a tileset by Agama, and this tileset is known as one of the best tilesets ever and even one of the best files on j2o. Anyway, let’s comtinue.
Eye candy/Animations: This tileset has alot of eye candy. Things like grass, clouds, water, caves, ports and some other stuff. There are some animations, like that fireballs and that water thingy. There are also some spikes and the idea to put keys in it with doors was very good. This should be useful if you want to make triggers in your levels with this tileset. There is more eye candy to put in layers, and I can say I loved all eye candy in the tileset.
Possibilities: You can make alot with this tileset. This tileset is perfect if you are a good JCS user, because it has more sorts of platforms, and like I said, the eye candy is perfect.
How hard to use: This tileset isn’t the hardest tileset, but it’s not an easy one if you start on making levels. That edges that you should place under platforms are 2 tiles instead of 1, and you need to use special ground tiles to make your level not buggy if you are creating one with this tileset. This makes the tileset not too easy to use. You need to look good at the masking, because you easily make mistakes with it.
Build with this/Overused/Underused? This tileset is slightly overused, but if you have alot of experience with JCS, you should make a level with this. If this was not so old, I should say that you should make a level right now, but it’s kinda old now.
Conclusion tileset: This tileset has alot of eye candy in it. Although it’s hard to use, I think eye candy is most important for tilesets. I’ll give the tileset a 9.

I’m a bit sleepy today, so i’m only going to write short paragraghs. EYECANDY: Low…… But not bad in the backround though. A little bit more work on this then eyecandy could really improve this.

SIZE: Mediocre, again, a little more work on this, you’ll improve.

ENIMIES: Third times a charm, the enemy placement just right.

ITEMS: Looks like items are not bad, there are a couple of metel crates to stomp on.

FINAL COMMENT: 6.5 ain’t bad, it’s over average. I cannot be bothered to write any more.

downloaded level
Why is there three tilesets included in one level? That is poison to 56k users >(

EYECANDY: 3.3
Oh wait. Did you even try to use some eyecandy at all? My stupid levels have better eyecandy… and they are rated bad. There is no wall tiles used at all. Or wait, there is. And just so you would know.. the red base looks better than the blue base. But they both are so ugly I can even go to a toilet and look at the beautiful thing (compared to this level, that is).

GAMEPLAY: 1.0
You have ruined this level. With the warp on the red base. This level is completely unfair. Red has a warp to blue. There is no borders. You have to go through a mazey thing. There is a hurt at the bottom-centre. Hurt can kill the host, but not anyone else. Then there’s a hidden bonus with… something. I’ll describe that in the ammo placement section. But the gameplay sucks enough that I have to do a bigger review than I ever have made. So evil.

STUFF PLACEMENT: 2.2
Now there’s a coin warp hidden. And it has a SHIELD in. Shields are suck in multiplayer. Don’t use them. And I get an access violation whatever I do. If I use 1.23, I get an access violation after the level has been on for a while. If I use 1.24 TSF, then I get an access violation after breaking a crate. USE BETATESTERS. BETA. TESTERS. They will see the errors. You didn’t test this in multiplayer did you? I have to continue the review as playing offline for now. It works in single player… This level has no powerups at all, but this level has just a little +1 carrot at the centre… with 5 second respawn delay. This is IMMUNE CTF or something like it?

ORIGINALITY: 1.1
Oh, how can it be so unoriginal to make suck. The levels section is filled with suck levels of suck sucking suck. And this level is the same. Not like this! Do better levels, they keep going rarer with this suck on the 20 last uploads list. Please… just do it.

FUN FACTOR: 1.0
What? Did someone say about fun? Fun of rehosting when someone breaks a crate and causes an access violation? No NO NO. This level is already impossible to play in, and the annoying jumps near the blue base is uncool and antifunlaugh.

OVERALL: 1.7. Practice and practice needed.

HOST?: That’s already impossible.
DOWNLOAD?: If offline CTF playing is fun or if you want to get bored.

Let’s see how you did on work of this scenario.

EYECANDY: Make that less work after checking the eyecandy (Did you even think about layers 1,2,3,5,6,7 and even 8???) Sorry, but I have to say there is no eyecandy in this level in all directions.

ENIMIES: I think you could deduct a few enimies, after all, there is a boss at the end. There are a few crabs at the beggining, and fat chicks. Overall, these stats are mediocre.

SIZE: The level is so tiny, it takes less than 50 seconds to comlete (without the boss, Estimated time: 2 minutes 57secs). I know you could make this a lot bigger. Size stats show that this level could be improved on time and size of this level.

ITEMS: All thats there are AMMO and 1 SHEID, that is it. You could put a Full Energy Carrot in the boss area. Over very little text on this I could write,I say these stats have very little items, and please put carrots in the scenario.

OVERALL RATING: 1.2

FINAL COMMENT: Did you even test the level? My awnser is NO!

No i dont think so R3ptile…
i hope not.

its not bad
i played it online with ppl i no
it is better than single player
its colorful and fun :) :p

Let’s do tha review.

DESIGN
For fun? Nothing, the level is just some trash and why did you really want to put those skeletons and Devan Devil-boss into the level?
1/10

EYECANDY
You linked some tiles quite well even this tileset is quite complicated, but other layers than 4, 3, 5 and 8 aren’t used at all. Background is textured and made correctly but it should be faded with some other color or filled with stars. Some layout also looks a bit too simple or boring and you had problems with layers 5 and 3.
3/10

ORIGINALITY
Uhm, I think this is quite poor also because the level has the name: “Untitled”, it has no next level-setting neither music so this isn’t quite kind of original, you know. Tileset is Pyro’s edited Haunted-tileset but anyways the level is your made.
4/10

GAMEPLAY
What can I say, this is quite poor level. You still had a lot of space in your level which could all have been used and level is very easy, even the devan boss because you put there so many full-energies. The level is really short and there are lotsa dead ends. And there’s only one level.
2/10

STUFF PLACEMENT
Aaarghh! This is kinda bad. There were empty areas where weren’t pickups at all and then, a flock of seekers and the most is useless, this was a bit better with other guns. But you overused these seekers and you shouldn’t have put that amount of full-energies into the boss-arena. There ain’t no gems neither food also. There’s only skeletons which is quite boring to just shoot them as they walk there and walk here. Not that they were bad idea but there could have been different idea. Well this causes the filename of the level but it doesn’t affect in the design anyways, sorry.
3/10

+ OR – EXTRA POINTS

-1 A readme, but there ain’t enough text or properful information, etc.
-1 No difficulty-settings
-1 Lots of useless files in the pack

OVERALL: 10:5=2
LEVEL RANK: Very bad level
DOWNLOAD RECOMMENDATION: No thanx!

ENDING COMMENTS
Seems that you’re new to J2O and you didn’t read the rules properly, but seems also that you haven’t used JCS very often as there were lots of bugs in the level and I even expect that you didn’t test the level before upload. You forgot to name the level, you forgot to choose the music into the level, you forgot to set the next level-setting which could have been a loop to the same level itself or a shortcut to the menu. At least this wasn’t overrated. No worry, you will learn to use JCS and J2O properly later then. :)

(Kind of unsupported rating removal edit. ~Violet)[This review has been edited by Violet CLM]

NEVER RATE YOUR OWN LEVELS!!!
Not too bad, well apart from all of the disadvanages!!!!!:
1) Teribble Weapon Placement
2) Extremly short level
3) Bad Eyecandy
4) No gems or food
5) You can run away from devan’s battle
6) Too small for a boss arena!
7) Too many carrots
8) No animations
9) No level name, no next level, no music!
10) No different difficulties!
11) I don’t want to go on.
But heres a tip, make the levels longer, place pickups better, make a bit harder, well i’m not goin on, i give this a 2, though it doesnt deserve it.
My overall Rating: -1
+3 for my generosity!
Total: 2. =P[This review has been edited by sabaspaz]

I can’t see the level in the JCS because it’s password protected.
