Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

I’m a Bjarni fan! So I downloaded them.

When I saw the first one, I thought that it had OK eye candy, but it could have been more. There are a few enemies at first, and you get some seekers. I should have saved them. The next part of it is a vine, with those heli-lizards around it. Unfortunately, I fell, but I got back up by using them as platforms.

And in the second level, you go a little ways, have to hop on this moving platform, and then you get an airboard! (What Bjarni level would be complete without one?)

Anyway, they were fairly good, but small as Labrat said, but I’ve seen better out of Bjarni. Make more levels like the one with the Tuf Turtle City. That was the best one of yours I’ve played.

This lvl pack seems interesting. It has a storyline and it is fun. it has great lvls, (they were nice and long) especially the pinball lvl but at the part where u get a 1up, i says u get an extra credit, but u dont! The storyline seems very interesting but it only uses jj1 diamondus and jj1 tubelectric but they were used in a good way. the eyecandy was fine. there are tubes in both tilesets! the lvls were vry good but i got stuck lots of times! the placement was very good, for both weapons and candy. i found this very good i reccomend the download but download Noka’s tilesets first, (they r not included!)

150 gems isn’t enough for 20 players. Not that 20 people would play a game of Treasure Hunt anyway. I’m not sure how a huge level consisting mostly of one tile wide passageways could ever be any fun in any gametype. And what good are those carrots?

Well, since I don’t have time for a review, I’m just going to comment on these levels since Bjarni asked me to. They’re pretty fun to play, but they’re really small. The eyecandy isn’t all that bad, either. They’re really small, though. Bjarni, you should try to make bigger levels. The bigger the better, most people say. Overall, these are two small, but fun levels. No download reccomendation, really, but if you’re a Bjarni fan, you can download these.[This review has been edited by labratkid]

hmmm nod bad at all! bud i dont now what rating to give it sorry

A battle level, well, I don’t guess it is so bad as Bjarni says, so lets review it:

EYECANDY:
Well, um…. Tja… No, this SUCKS. I don’t have a better word for it, unfortunatly. I’m lucky that there is at least a background in the level, but it looks like this is the first practice of making a level by someone. The backgrounds don’t match with each other, and the castle and waterfalls in layer 6 and 7 are misplaced so that they don’t look good and suck. About layer 4: the tiles are quite correct but the pink carrtos make it suck. Needs a lot of work.

AMMO:
Ammo? What ammo? There isn’t hardly any ammo placed in this sucky level, but there are FIVE CARROTS! OMG! No, next time add real ammo to your level. Now, there are only a few small pickups and no PU’s.

LEVEL STRUCTURE:
No structure in this level…. The level looks like an appartment complex with about 10 floors and it’s hard to change between them, becasue the annoying, irritating pink carrots make that you can’t even run around, which is at least one point there must be in every level! If you can’t run, you can’t play, that’s something I can say.

GAMEPLAY:
Well, as you can probably read above, I hated to play this level. There is no flow so I couldn’t get the nice Jazz2 speed which I like to see in every level. There is no ammo, the eye“candy” is hurting my eyes and makes me vomit, and the structure is so worthless that I can’t move around.

Well, I hope that I made clear what’s wrong with this level, so you can improve it. Next time make a decent level, and for God’s sake, use a betatester!

Score: a 2 from me.
Download this: No, there are better things to wipe your ass off with.
Host: see download, and multiply that 10 times.

I’m so sorry, but there are too few start pos, too few weapons, too small level, springs are ok, bad eye candy, bad backround, too few carrots, sorry, I don’t have much to say, download not recommand! Sorry, better luck next time!

I know why AcId was mad here, my level name was “The Ice Battle” but Icy and Ice are so like, so I confused of wrong level! So sorry, please some admin do something! I’m so sorry, the name….Oh well!

THERE ARE BARLEY ANY ENEMIES AND GOODIES AND AT THE BEGINING THERE WERE LIKE 999999999999999999999999999999 TILEBUGS.

Bah, another singleplayer of masterrokusho… I feel it’s my duty to review this crap, so:

EYE ABUSEMENT:
Well, it’s hard to call this eyecandy, not? Ah well. Let’s do this. Boring back/foreground. Only 1 tiles for background, not other layers, and just 1 kind of tile in the foreground layer. Next time makes this level at least a bit enjoyable for the eyes of the player.

AMMO / ENEMIES:
No sense makes the ammo placement here. There are two boxes with RF and Toast, and a Toast PU, placed on unlogical places. Now about the enemies: they are a laughter in the beginning. Just do a sidekick with spaz and all those turtle bosses are dead. The ending is too hard, too many bosses on one spot. Not really good, seems noobish to me.

LEVEL STRUCTURE:
Bad. It is maybe even a bit surprsing to me that there are two paths in this level, one which takes you down with a suckertube (amazing, he knows how to use these!) and the other one going straight up to the bosses. The suckertube path only leads you to a few other turtles, no more. Then it takes you back by another corridor. The placement of an airboard at the end is OK, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to beat the bosses at all (not that you can beat them now, but OK)

GAMEPLAY:
Not what you can call gameplay here, the enemies are maybe funny for n00bs, but they suck. Next time make good levels, and longer then this crappo.

When I was “playing” this, the tought came to me that this was just a practice level. Remember: NEVER PUT THIS KIND OF LEVELS ONLINE AGAIN, BECAUSE YOU MESS UP J2O! NEXT TIME USE A BETATESTER! LEARN HOW TO USE JCS! Thanks for your attention.

Score: a 1.7.
Download this: Again, as an example how to not make a level.

I DID NOT UNDERSTAND THIS LVL IT WAS TOO CONFUSEING AND IT’S A SHAME YOU DON’T HAVE A NEXT LVL.

Well, you reviewed my level, so I’m reviewing your’s too :-P

It is a single level, and not so big (like author said). Well,… (have no ideas :-))

LVL DESIGN AND EYECANDY AND…STUFF
Well, the level design is not bad, not good. There are some enemies (mostly in hordes), some ammo and about 32486123047w347234 bosses at the end (guy don’t do this again ;-P)
The level is alltough too hard. I got to the end, but as I once bet one of the bosses (the robot thing), the level didn’t finish and I died and game over (lost a credit). So I decided to cheat (wasn’t able to finish without). I think you should do some freezers on the start and a regenerating seeker crate at the end. Oh, I forgot there was a nice suckertube and some platforms that appear and go away. I couldn’t beat that part with Lori ;-( so I played the level with Jazz.
Eyecandy isn’t too atractive either. There is a layer 8 and layer 4. Not more. Use background layer 5-7 and some foreground. The level uses a spiffy tileset from Evil Mike (called Temple). The tileset isn’t used full. For example there is rain, arrows, some animations, moving spikes, etc.
The level uses the music from intro. Cool, I didn’t know how the author did that.

GAMEPLAY
Gameplay is very hard, lot of enemies, not much goodies (add food, gems, coins + coin warp and other things). Also the level is too small. The enemies allmost fit with the tileset, but don’t use enemies in hordes (I got bad ratings, as I did that ;-D). Ammo placement was….ok. Could have used some seeker and ice ammo (like I said before).

AMMO AND OTHER WEAPONS STUFF
There is a toaster powerup, and two regenerating crates (toaster and 3way) at the end. Could have used more weapons and not all the time in crates (or powerups).

BADDIES
The baddy placement isn’t good (sorry). Like I said before, don’t use enemies in hordes like this. Also there could be some more variety (only turtes and Tufs). Same thing with bosses. Well, I know the level is called Devan Army but I think it should be made for an internet cooperative game with up to 32 players (so you also have an army ^–).

HURT EVENTS AND OTHER OBSTACLES
There aren’t any hurt events =(, but there are some platforms that appear and go away (or how you would call this). Sadly, Lori can’t jump high enough to reach the last platform ;-(.

TILESETS
There is one tileset in the pack (made by Evil Mike). The tileset has some good abilities (look in the first section, last part) and some eyecandy blocks. Good choosen, but no rating for that because you didn’t made it yourself (doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing to use tilesets from other level makers).

USE OF TILESETS
The tileset use…well, you could have used more of the tileset’s abilities. Also the background layers aren’t used (only layer 8). Luckily there are no tilebugs :-).

CONCLUSION
Phew, very long review, isn’t it? ^–
Alltough, I think the level is a 5.5 (please don’t ged mad on me, I don’t do this because I’m a sadist or something). I only wanna help you doing better levels. :-)
PS: KEEP MAKING LEVELS :-)

NOTES
1. Thx for reviewing my level
2. If your level doesn’t have a next level write in “endepis” in the field “next level” or the game will crash after finishing the level.
3. Playtest your levels, that means, start it and play it on yourself. Also let a friend, brother, sister, alien or someone else play.
4. Good luck for your next project ^^
