LVL DESIGN AND EYECANDY AND…STUFF
Lvl Design isn’t the best, it even after fixing has a lot of bugs, and also if both levels would be one, the level would be too small. Also, at the end of the second level the boss doesn’t appear anymore (maybe he sleeps :-P). Eyecandy, well, nothing spectacular. It’s ok. There isn’t much sprite eyecandy, but a good background. What sucks is the structure, because level 2 is almost the same as level 1, only some minor changes (airboard, boss at the end). There are several more bugs, but I’m too lazy to tell them all.

GAMEPLAY
Not really the greatest part of the “pack” (I think it’s too short for a pack). Playtime is about…3 minutes or something. There are even after Bjarni’s fixing several bugs (I will list them later), and there aren’t any items like coins, gems, food, etc. (only little ammo at start).

AMMO AND OTHER WEAPONS STUFF
Ammo isn’t all that great. In level 1 there are some seeker at the start. In level 2 it’s some toaster ammo. That’s all. But, well, you won’t need more ammo…

BADDIES
Not much variety. In level 1 there are some turtles at the start (very easy to defeat). And over the spike pit are some flying lizards. Oh, and at the end there is a TufBoss, which appears some time, some time not (the first time I played, he does, other times not…) I think there’s something wrong with the activate boss event.

HURT EVENTS AND OTHER OBSTACLES
In both levels there is a whole line of spiky vines on the ground. Well, also in level 1 the vine what should help you coming over the spikes seems to be an obstacle because sometimes you can grab it, sometimes not.

TILESETS
The levels are using the carrotus tileset (day and night version). This one is very overused, but Bjarni made this pack 3 years ago, so he didn’t knew that this tileset was going to be overused as he made the levels.

USE OF TILESETS
The tileset use is…sprite tiles isn’t used very good (not much tile variety). But the background is good. Nothing more to say.

CONCLUSION
Updated? Well, I think the levels aren’t updated completely (I said I would list all bugs so I will do that now).
Bugs:
Level 1:
-After the first platform there’s a hole. If you fall through, you land on spikes.
-If you fell on the spikes you can run to the right sight and finish the level (I don’t think Bjarni wanted to let players finish it while running over spikes).
Level 2:
-Boss doesn’t appear all the time.
-If you defeat the boss (if he appeared before) he says “sooper dooper secret” or something… Why that???

In both levels there are still some tilebugs (I think).

So, I don’t think you should download this, only (like Labratkid said) if you are Bjarni fans.

NOTES:
Bjarni, if you want to fix a level, then do it right. Also if people say make the level longer, than not only say “I fixed the bugs and now it’s ready”. MAKE IT LONGER, GUY. Final rating is a 4.

Good luck for your next project

i love jj1 tilesets. and now that there is day night and evening, im even more amazed! this is exactly the same as the jj1 version. I think this is better than the jj2 diamondus, this also has example lvls. the sucker tubes are new and they really blend in with the tileset. i wish the deckstar tileset was here. i can just say “THIS IS EXCELLENT, DOWNLOAD IT OR ELSE!” ;D[This review has been edited by sabaspaz]

The tileset is really cool, ive seen like a million lvls here but i never get bored of it. it has great eyecandy just like egypt but there was one tile missing and i really needed to place this before but i couldnt find it. the music is annoyin but the tileset also has an example lvl which is good!

i dont really like swamps but this one really attracted me for some reason! this tileset is not as good as your others in my opinion but it is still fantastic. I recommend to everyone to download this!

This is a great tileset, actually it is the best tileset there is. the tileset is hard to use but thats y i -0.3, otherwise, if u can use it, it is perfect, all your uploads are perfect!

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?

FIXED: Start Positions and Size[This review has been edited by sonictth]

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.

RATINGS
————
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!
