Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Suddenly I feel incredibly lazy.

GAMEPLAY:

Not bad gameplay all in all. I like the flow in most places—just not everywhere. The balance is so-so. And the blah-blah-blah is blah. I can’t think of what else to write. Not too much original stuff. This is just about a typical CTF level layout.

EYE CANDY:

After seeing this level, I did, for a brief moment, consider using the tileset used myself. What changed my mind was that this tileset doesn’t have too much to offer. But the tileset is certainly used better here than in Spazzyman’s super-cramped example level. So does that mean the eye candy is above average? Sure, I guess. But, the background still looks dull with the two layers of the same exact mountains.

CARROT AND AMMO PLACEMENT:

With a full energy carrot in the exact middle of the level, the only thing keeping carrot placement from being perfect are the routes to it. It’s easier to reach the carrot from the blue base than from the red one. Ammo placement isn’t too bad, but I don’t really like it. For example, I thought the RFs were a bit too close to the bases. Powerup placement, on the other hand, is good mostly because of its simplicity.

HOST THIS OFTEN?

I don’t know. I suppose a few players could enjoy playing in this level, but it doesn’t exactly scream “fun” to me. Hmmm… 7.2 will do.

Good tileset use.
Good level.
Agree with you all.

Later i give my own review

Very nice level guy.

Sorry snooz[This review has been edited by dx dc]

I played this level some while ago on Strato’s server, it played alot like an average, good CTF level (6.5-7.5).

Although the level uses Ancient Riches, a tileset by Spazzyman, the originality in tile use and eyecandy had that been-there-done-that feel, however it still looks decent.

The Gameplay had nothing that special either, in fact the layout is the worst part of this, although it’s quite playable, blue base was easier to score and attack than red. It feels complex even though it isn’t, and the bottom area bothers me, I guess because it’s so plain, it’s basicly a straight path and a couple of medium-sized hills.

The size, for a CTF level, is about right, not too small nor too big.

Ammo and Powerup placement was acceptable, no complaints. The carrot, a full NRG was placed near the middle, no complaints here either.

Good level, however nothing you haven’t seen before.

Download Recommendation: Yes.
Host Often: Sometimes.

Okay, let’s start with the layout first. I don’t like the layout all that much. At first, you get lost occasionally. As you get to know the level better, you still occasionally get a bit confused as to where things are, but it’s okay, for the most part.
The gameplay is fine. Balanced, no biasing etc.
There isn’t much flow, though. Not really any flow at all.
I like the ammo placement just fine. Maybe a little bit too much, but it’s good. Too many RF’s, if anything. There aren’t many powerups, either.
The eyecandy isn’t much… and gets annoying after a while. All the waterfalls and whatnot. But, it’s acceptable. What I’m wondering is, how did you get your name in the tileset?
Overall, good level.
Download reccomendation – Sure.
Host this often – Once in a while. If I’m bored. Consider it an honor to get your level hosted by picky me in the first place, though. Here’s a cookie 7.5.

How misleading. Not only is the level named Cracco Balloon Races 2!!!, but the type of this level is “Race”. Most test levels are categorized under “Other”, so I have to agree with everyone who rated this as a race level. Maybe there should be a new category for test levels as well.

Is there a POINT to this?
No hotels are allowed on J2O. That is a new rule (I think). I’ve heard rumors about this, but I’m not sure if they’re true. I hope to God they are, because when you see a good concept abused like this… it’s not fun anymore.
Eyecandy – Bad / very bad
It doesn’t get much worse than this. No textured background, no sprite layer eyecandy, etc. The only good thing is that SOME of the tiles fit together.
Now, correct me if I’m wrong, but I didn’t find a store. How do you have a hotel without a store, especially if there are coins? And why don’t you host this hotel so people can come and play in it, rather than them emailing you and saying “OMG CAN I HAVE A ROOM LOLOLOL ROFL :D < 3 @ HOTELS LOL :),” and you uploading another copy of this level that is updated (I noticed you notice you forgot to upload the tileset, so you simply say, “Oops,” and you don’t reupload; that tells us you aren’t aware of the reupload function).
The rest of the hotel’s layout is just plain bad. There are some games… that are boring. But a game is a game. Then again, Jazz Jackrabbit 2 is a game, and this makes a fun game boring. Or something.
Overall…
NO HOTELS ON J2O PLZTHX OMG LOL :D :) ;)
Download: No.
Host this often: No.

Hmm…..well, a spaceship tileset…let’s begin with review:

EXAMPLE LEVEL 1: Starlit Spaceship

GAMEPLAY/DESIGN:
The gameplay doesn’t matter too much, because this is an example level. Alltough the level shows all what you can do with the tileset like vines, hurts and destructable scenery. What I miss are enemies. There is only a bolly at the end, but what baddys could u use? Also there are no items or weapons so the level maker has to figure out what events he could use.
PROS: Good use of the standard tileset event thingys (:p)
CONS: no enemies (only endboss), no items
RATING: 7.0

TILESET/TILESET USE:
The tileset use was good. I saw no tilebugs and all tiles were used. Bad thing is that there is no foreground.
Eyecandy was basic, but the tileset lacks on eyecandy tiles.
PROS: Good tileset use, no tilebugs
CONS: Bad eyecandy, nothing amazing
RATING: 7.0

WEAPON/ITEM/ENEMY PLACEMENT:
Weapons? none Items? none Enemies? none (only endboss)
BAAAAAAD!!
PROS: -
CONS: no weapons/item/enemies
RATING: 2.0

REPLAY/FUN FACTOR/ORIGINALITY:
There’s no replay/fun factor or originality, but this is an example level so that doesn’t matter
PROS: no-one but that doesn’t matter
CONS: no replay/fun factor/originality but that doesn’t matter
RATING: N/A

OVERALL (not an average):
Overall it’s an ok example level. It shows how the tiles can be used and it has all things like vines, hurts etc.
Bad thing is that there aren’t any weapons, items or enemies. Only an endboss at the end.
PROS: no tilebugs, things like vines and hurts included
CONS: no weapon/item/enemy placement, uninteresting eyecandy

THE FINAL RATING: 5.2

EXAMPLE LEVEL 2: Starlit Spaceship

GAMEPLAY/DESIGN:
Same as in Level 1, only with an other endboss.
PROS: look at level 1
CONS: look at level 1, the same as level 1
RATING: 6.0

TILESET/TILESET USE:
The tileset use was a bit better as in level 1, although the stars weren’t as good. Overall it’s only a bit changed, because the tileset is a bit other than the first one.
PROS: good tileset use
CONS: boring eyecandy, no foreground layers used
RATING: 7.0

WEAPON/ITEM/ENEMY PLACEMENT:
Like in level 1 there is nothing
BAD
PROS: noone
CONS: no weapons, items or enemies
RATING: 1.2

REPLAY/FUN FACTOR/ORIGINALITY:
Look at level 1.
PROS: look at level 1
CONS: look at level 1
RATING: N/A

OVERALL (not an average):
Overall it’s the same as level 1, only the eyecandy is a bit changed and the author used an other endboss. I’ll take off one point because it’s the same as level 1
PROS: look at level 1
CONS: look at PROS =p

EXAMPLE LEVEL 3:

GAMEPLAY/DESIGN:
The gameplay was the same as in level 1 and 2, only there’s an other endboss and the arena at the end is a bit changed. I think it shouldn’t be changed because all those platforms causes Devan to flip out and he jumps from platform to platform until he morphes in a dragon if you shot him enough.
PROS: look at level 2
CONS: look at level 2
RATING: 5.0

TILESET/TILESET USE:
The eyecandy was the same as in Level 2, only the tileset has an other palette color.
PROS: look at level 2
CONS: look at level 2
RATING: 6.0

WEAPON/ITEM/ENEMY PLACEMENT:
nothing
only an endboss at the end
PROS: look at level 2

TILESET 1: Starlit Spaceship
Now the finally I’ll review the tileset rofl. The tileset itself has good tiles and some basic things tilesets should have like vines, spikes and such things like that. What I missed is back or foreground eyecandy tiles. There are some star for background but I think a textured background would be good. Also there are no foreground thingys. Also there are no eyecandy tiles for layer 4. Overall a good tileset, but a bit small
PROS: Good tiles
CONS: no back/foreground, small, no layer 4 eyecandy
FINAL RATING: 6.0

THE FINAL GRADE: E

THE FINAL RATING: 4.6 rounded up to a 4.7

DOWNLOAD RECCOMENDATION: No

So that was my review. If you should keep making tilesets? Yes you should I think. At the moment your tileset really lacks of some things that it should have but you can only become better.

PHT

PS: I made a level with your tileset. It’s called “Lost In Space”. [This review has been edited by PHT]

nou dont get mad that tileset thingi thats somting that jou kan forget somtime he is trying his best but the begin is not that easy i played the game and do not now a rating at the moment i have still 1 thing to say:never give up ever jou kan hacethis rating for a game”:congratilations jou realy earned a 10[realie it can happen somtime!]so good luck

Like description says, DON’T RATE THIS. JazzForce is a laucher. But the original JazzForce connects to logicware. That means a 1.1b version has been made for it. So it connects to contrabandent. And now a 1.1c version made to connect to contrabandent AND nimrod-online. DOWNLOAD THE ORIGINAL JAZZFORCE 1.1 FROM THIS LINK (http://www.jazz2online.com/downloads/moreinfo.php?levelid=2523) PLEASE THANKS YOU NEED THAT BEFORE USING THIS PROGRAM.

Yes, this requires the extension php_sockets.dll. I’m not that good at PHP, so i don’t know whether there are other methods, but I would welcome any information on that.
