Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Include tileset you fool

WOW!
This is like AWESOME!
Good job on this.

The example was really well done (except when it’s done it loops over and over and over, but who cares?) and I think that the trigger zones were placed correctly (although I would’ve liked it if they allowed you to put 2 events on the same tile). Getting to the eyecandy: I have a 3 digit word for you:

WOW

However, be careful around the fire. Sometimes you can get caught in it takes one point off here. The statues of Jazz are cute puts point back and the water with flamingoes is cute as well 8-]

I would DEFINETLY use this as a tileset for one of my lvl’s!

well here is my review!!!

Eyecandy:
Basic!!! Well in all the levels the eyecandy is okay no tilebugs but it could be better. Oh no what do i see in the oasis level you forgot to make the wall complete a hole in the wall.
And oh no again in the final level to
the wall is really ugly if those ugly
thing where good i would give this episode a lot higher.

Enemy placement:
Good!!! The enemy placement is great because there are not to much enemies but really enough to keep the levels fun and all the enemies fit in the levels.

Item placement:
Good!!! There is ammo food gems coins powerups and more.

Other:
Okay!!!The levels could be longer but it is not to short. The musics fits in the levels and there is enough to do in the episode.

Well it is good but not so high because of the eyecandy problem but still a !!6.5!!

i can`t play it on both versions!!!

Jungle Party? Well I don’t know if “Party” really fits
Well, here’s my review =p

GAMEPLAY/DESIGN:
The gameplay isn’t too much original, you just jump around and shoot some monkeys. There are a few secrets but they are bad designed at all.
PROS: nothing great to mention
CONS: Boring, too short, bad secrets
RATING: 1.2

TILESET/TILESET USE:
The tileset the author used was the jungle thingy from epic. I like that tileset but I don’t like the way the author used it. The background is bad and the foreground wasn’t used very good. Look at level ‘Thriller Gorilla’ and look how Mr Bleszinski made the thingy with the trees, Litenante. I also saw some minor tile bugs.
PROS: okay tileset use (+0.3)
CONS: bad eyecandy (-0.3), foreground layers are used wrong, doesn’t look like a jungle
RATING: 1.2

WEAPON/ITEM/ENEMY PLACEMENT:
The weapon placement wasn’t bad, item placement was. What about coins or gems? Also there has to be MORE food. Man, you are in a jungle, right? The enemy placement was…hm…..okay. The author only used one enemy, the monkey. That’s bad. Good thing is that the monkeys are okay placed I think. Again a bad thing is that there is no easy/normal/hard setting. Set more food on easy mode and more baddys on hard!
PROS: okay enemy/ammo placement (+0.5)
CONS: no easy/normal/hard settings
(-0.2), too less items (-0.3)
RATING: 1.2

REPLAY/FUN FACTOR/ORIGINALITY:
I don’t feel like replaying this, most because it’s too short and easy. There isn’t really fun and we can’t talk about originality. Bad
PROS: Nothing to mention
CONS: no replay value, no fun factor, no originality
RATING: 1.2

OVERALL (not an average):
Overall it’s (sorry) very bad. It has no eyecandy, isn’t original, too easy and don’t makes fun. Sorry, but this was bad. Practise much more before you upload a level. I will give +1.0 for effort.
PROS: okay ammo placement (+0.3)
CONS: Look up (-0.3)

Here I got some tips from Jazz2 Level Designer Cliff Bleszinksi. You can also read them in the JCS faq.

1. Look Out Below!
Never let people fall on enemies they can’t see below them.

2. Make ‘em Work!
Make people jump for items, or shoot crates. A little bit of effort should be required to collect stuff instead of just running through it.

3. ARGH!!!!
Set up cool situations where you get bounced all around and you can’t control where you’re going. This is both wacky and fun.

4. Let Them Live!
Never teach the player how to play by killing them. Always give the player a chance to figure things out without dying.

5. SHOOT THE BLOCKS!
Destroyable scenery is your friend. People seem to love shooting those exploadable cubes, and you can set
up great puzzles with ammo-based blocks.

6. What Do I Do?!?
Leave clues to most secrets. If you have a butt stomp gem secret put it between two decorative tiles so people just might try stomping there. Otherwise no-one will find you secrets!

7. Keep the Party Going!
For Party Mode levels, make sure and keep the level “circular”. That is, a player can easily zip around anywhere in the level without encountering any dead ends and having to backtrack.

8. USE VARIETY!
Alternate the scenery! Don’t keep the player entirely inside or outside, use a nice variety of all types of scenery in the tileset.

9. I Can’t See!
Dramatic lighting is great, but don’t leave the player in a dark area without a clue as to where to go. This is frustrating!

10. TEST YOUR LEVELS!
Playtest your levels, and have others playtest them! Sit someone down, have them play through your level, and don’t tell them anything. You’ll be surprised by the results.

Also look at the article “Creating singleplayer episodes” from Ninja Dodo.

So there’s nothing more I can do for you.

Edit NR1: Which error Labratkid? I had no problems to run this and the tileset is the standard jungle thingy, why should there be an error?[This review has been edited by PHT]

Wow! I had quite some fun playing this level. You used the tileset fairly well, but usage still could’ve been better. The variety of enemies did get a little boring, and weren’t placed too bad. I didn’t expect the Water bit at all but it was actually kinda fun. Placement wasn’t too bad.

Overall, it’s a pretty good level. :)

Very, heavily overrated. Although I could see how the author put quite some effort into this level, but I dislike layer 2! It really hurts my eyes (my eyes… my beautiful eyes!). The eyecandy wasn’t too bad, but could be a little better. The enemy placement was fairly good, but the selection wasn’t at all. Bees in hell? Now I’ve seen everything!

Both the levels seemed practically the same, but overall, it’s not bad at all. Good job. :)

gah! pink kills! eep! dies JK btw nice tileset, me luvz!

Wow! It’s just looking like the original game! Well done, Newspaz!
I love C.KEEN, so I give an 9!

YES! You bulded an tileset of C.KEEN4!
I love C.KEEN! And it just looking like the REAL game! Well done, Talec!
And becouse it’s so great, I give an 8.7!

(Rendered useless by the server list changes. I had to change the .exe)
It doesn’t compare to Jazz Force, even the old xjj2. All you can do is list servers and grab some information from the server.
No character editing, no server listing, no server joining. The splash screen thing is irritating and one cannot use the program until it goes away. Then I have to click List and wait. This is not good. I want a program that launchs as fast as possible and immediately list the servers.
The options dialog is not prepared for a high DPI setting…
What size is this? 1MB? plus the images which should be embebed in the exe file.
As a bonus it cannot handle 1.21 s, 1.24 s and 1.24 x servers.
The reason I’m not giving this a 1 is because it might, if you merely want to grab some information about a server, might be as useful as other multiplayer launchers like JazzTool, Jazz Force and others.

Martijn you foo, it isn’t much good to receive a 10!

Eyecandy has many flaws, especially moment with trigger crate room. Spend more time on your leels PHT.
Gameplay… sorry I don’t know what is it Ground Force :P
Some moments were really annoying, when above big wall, you can’t shoot in some positions. It sucks.

Overall – it isn’t a good level PHT. It is a average level. Although Dam.. Darn Nation is underused tileset and hard to build, and i like the music. You can made better levels (I think)
