Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

If you’re going to make an edit of battle 1, make it… hey, wait, don’t make one at all, unless you’re getting rid of the shield or making it so if it’s a laggy server that doesn’t have respawn.exe, you can get up to the fast fires, and the deleted shield without using a copter (I did this once). Anyway, all this does is put a spring somewhere, that shoots you to the stop of the level, where there is just a bunch of linear and ugly areas covered up by layer 3. I’m taking off points to begin with because it’s an edit. This is awful, though.

Eyecandy – Bad
At least there’s a background… the sprite layer and layer 3 eyecandy suck too bad, though.
Gameplay: Very bad
Yuck. Jazz can barely get around it, and Spaz has a hard time, too.
Flow: Very bad
Bad flow… spring placement sucks.
Ammo: Very bad
This is the first ‘very bad’ ammo placement I’ve issued. This is pretty darn bad.
Layout: Very bad
goes in the bathroom and comes out an hour later weighing 10 pounds less, then eats for the next day non-stop to gain the weight back
Download reccomendation: No.
Host this often: No.
Overall: No. Very bad. Try harder next time, and focus on the gameplay. No offense to your beta testers, but have people who are good at level making test your levels, because if you take advice from someone whose not good, what good is the advice?

Read my review for the first one. It’s basically the same.
The only difference here is that there are some new tiles, none of that are particularly useful.
I’m not adding anything for the trees glowing, because that was unintentional of you.
Water in 8bit does NOT work; I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Anyway, my review is the same as the one for version 1, but since there are new tiles, I’ll give you +.2 points because I’m nice.

Hmm, good work, i think you have made this with normal paint, better then the first version, much better its bigger and better, a 7!

Hmm, this level is not good/bad.
I think you must use the whole level for CTF likes one base above and one down, under you never must come to score! this level you can use for Battle to, i think..

::For all of this a nice 7.2!::

Wee, first review! :D

gets buried in rotten veggies

Ok, ok… Enough with the cliché, time for a review update:

———————————————————
Considering this is made in MS Paint (yes, the infamous program which a reputation of having made bright, limited colored sets), the colors are actually nicely done, which scores extra points in my book. Unfortunately, that’s all there is. The tileset itself is pretty basic, as mentioned in earlier reviews, with just ground, blocks, and some signs. No background, eye candy, nothing to increase the appeal of a level, aside from a bone in the ground, but that’s it: nothing. The example level only shows you how you can use the set and some facts about it.

On an interesting note, I’ve read the readme (as always, reviewers should make a habit of that, there is a point to making them. Heck, even the name of the zip file says you should read it) and it was all about how he got inspiration, how he loved 24… And it says he can draw well, he even drew mangas (Japanese comics for the unknowing). I believe that if he had the proper tools, he could become like Agama, but that’s just me :p

Verdict:
Back to the set. Overall, the rating is on a borderline, just because of the good colors in Paint (I’m a sucker for those, I know). The only thing I can do is suggest these things: get a free copy of Paint Shop Pro somewhere, it works much better than Paint. Secondly, take a good look at tilesets of others (I suggest Agama, Disguise and Blade), especially at the eye candy they put in. I can only give it a 5, because I’m nice :)

————————————————————
Update: Sonictth is well underway it seems, he added (color) animations and water blocks (normally animated) in this set (color animation mean that the colors in the animation keep switching hue or brightness, something Jazz 1 used a lot, because it’s easy to do :P). Tho the additions are not revolutionary, they’re ok (Remember, this is in MS Paint ;P) and Sonictth deserves points for trying. He also updated the example level with the new animations, a “Boulder Coaster” (one thing: Jazz has trouble running up slopes steeper than 45 degrees, keep that in mind), and some new music (Sweet Dreams by Elwood, I’m starting to look like Aiko! o.o).

Updated Verdict:
Pretty Ok, but misses some stuff (Like destructive blocks, and in a Jungle set, vines must be in it! What’s a Jungle without vines? :P). The new rating from me: 6 One more thing: work on your english as well as on your set ;)

Ugggggly. Baaaaaad. Buggggggy. Shooooort.

Eyecandy: Very bad
Not much. What is there is disgusting and nauseating.
Gameplay: Very bad
Gameplay: Where? What gameplay?
Bugs: Very bad
You get stuck A LOT.
Enemies: Very bad
Bad enemies placement.
Size: Very bad
Small, linear, yucky, bleh, blah, bloo, bleep, bah, boh, odsfdhfsdojkfskdhf.
Overall: Very bad
Download reccomendation: Noooooooooooo.

Average level. The eyecandy is ALL MOST acceptable, but there are a few several tile bugs, and there is NO BACKGROUND. DX, I’ve told you a million times to put backgrounds. This time, I’m taking off .5 points, because you don’t listen. Bad listeners don’t get rewarded. The enemy placement is ALL MOST acceptable, but it’s very easy. Your levels seem to be flooded with tuf turtles, for the sole purpose that they are hard to beat. You don’t strategically place the enemies, DX, like I’ve told you before. People review your levels to GIVE YOU ADVICE. I’m probably wasting my time now, anyway, telling you all this, because you don’t listen to a THING people tell you. What’s the point of reviewing if you don’t listen? Pretty soon, I’m going to stop reviewing your levels, if you don’t take advice. And, stop with the personal attacks. Anyway, no download reccomendation. Average level.

Yay for overrating.

Eyecandy: Bad
The eyecandy is bad. Most of this level is done “cave” style, so the author wouldn’t have to bother to put in a background. A lot of it is just blocks, too. Whatever the case is, there’s not enough, and what is there, is ugly.
Gameplay: Bad
Bad.
Weapons: Bad
Bad weapons placement.
Enemies: Bad
Bad enemies placement… very easy.
Overall: Too short… ugly… bad gameplay…
Download reccomendation: No.

A monkey lab episode…hmmmmm…..what could I say? Well, the story let me think on ‘planet of the apes’ :) hmmm…here’s my review :)
GAMEPLAY/DESIGN:
Hmm….the gameplay isn’t very original. You only have to shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot and find a crate and shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot……
Sorry, but the Gameplay is bad
PROS: no major ones
CONS: No exit in lvl 2, you only have to shoot and shoot and shoot….(look above)
Rating: 2.0

TILESET/TILESET USE:
The tilesets used where labrat and mez. Mez is cool :) but I don’t like that labrat thing. The tileset use was good. I saw no tilebugs and there was some eyecandy. I like the scrolling background in level 3 :)
PROS: Good eyecandy
CONS: labrat tileset :-(
Rating: 9.0

WEAPON/ITEM/ENEMY PLACEMENT:
There wasn’t too much ammo but placement was ok, also I doesn’t got a shugar rush or extra live with those gems. The enemy placement were bad on some parts (for example don’t put a labrat on one single tile). In lvl 2 u used very much badguys on top of each other to make them look like an endboss.
PROS: ammo placement (wasn’t much ammo but good)
CONS: not enough gems, food, bad enemy placement sometimes
Rating: 4.0

REPLAY/FUN FACTOR/ORIGINALITY:
I don’t want to replay this, because it doesn’t make any fun to kill all those enemys. There was nothing original so that wasn’t good.
PROS: nothing great pro
CONS: BORING!!!! Only shoot and…..you know what i want to say :-)
Rating: 2.0

OVERALL:
Good eyecandy, the rest is bad. Sorry, just make NEW things in your levels, think of puzzles or other stuff that isn’t connected with killing baddys.
PROS: Eyecandy is fine
CONS: No fun, nothing original, you only have to kill enemys…etc.
RATING:5.7
DOWNLOAD RECCOMENDATION: No

PHT

One of the best and most fun Race levels I’ve seen in a long while.

Let’s start with the pretties. The Diamondus Beta tileset, renowned for being excessively used by level designers of all kinds (which was true especially two years back), has been stretched to its limits in this particular level. The level is chock full of foliage, you’re literally surrounded by bushes and trees wherever you go (run); something which will remind you of P4ul’s infamous Diamondus Beta levels. However, this level retains an unique feel, different than those made by P4ul back in the day. Having never used DiamB myself, I can only guess how painstakingly arduous it was to make the eyecandy so highly detailed. Kudos.

The music used here is awesome. It remains peaceful and calm, while also being quite fast paced and somehow encouranging the player to rush across the grove. The music choice is plain excellent, the track definitely has a place in my mod playlist now.
