I think this tileset is better than “Heaven,” and I’m not kidding. People say, “Spend time on your things!” Well, BlurreD did, and here’s what you get… a perfect space tileset.

And at last. BlurredD’s Oddysey. Coming in 4 different versions, and with 5 example levels. w00h00.

The theme of this tileset is probably a space station, since there is a pic of the earth for the background and it looks quite… metallic or something. No grass-tiles in this set. There are a lot of eyecandy tiles though; animated lights, fans, electric cords like in tubelectric, animated platforms, animated pipes, and a big bunch of other animations too. They all look awesome and are very useful. For layer 6/7 there is some 3D-ish texture with a window and it also looks good. In fact, everything looks good.
Negative stuff? Yes. It would have been nice if there were some more blocks in the set. Now there are only 4 blocks, if I’m not wrong: a “locked” block, a blank block, a buttstomp block and a destruct block. Counter-blocks are maybe not used very often, but they should be in every tileset in my very humble opinion. Another bad thing is the userfriendlyness (or something). Or better, the lack of it. It is not always clear what the tiles can be used for. For example, I have no idea how to use the tiles in the upper left corner.

Apart from that it is very good. I suppose you already downloaded it.[This review has been edited by Fl@$h aka BlewMeUp]

Well, it has a gameplay, not so good, but it has a gameplay. Work on your event stuff, as chandie said. Good weapon placement, but the levels are to small. You have to work on your eyecandy. There are vines obove carrots and the vines doesn’t even have the event “vine”. The eyecandy is flat, it looks if no attention payd on eyecandy but only on gameplay and pickups.

In overall shows this level a lot of promise, and that’s good. The only thing left to do for you is practising!

P.S.: If you don’t know how triggers work go to JCSref. That’s a site with info about it. :)

BlurredD’s Odyssey is one of the best tilesets ever imo. Throught it’s abit flat, it’s quality and possibilitys are great.
The set isn’t very userfriendly, you should take a close look before starting up with it.
Download recommed.

This is a strangely-named level, but nonetheless a quality one. The only fault I may find with it is that it is perhaps too easy. I beat it quite easily, and did not die even once. Still, that is not of as much importance as the overall quality of level is, so I will dwell on that no longer.

This level uses “7th Lava Fall” by Dethman. This tileset is indeed quite good and well-done, and this trancends into the level’s overall eyecandy. Eyecandy in general looks nice and shows some degree of though in addition to the normal plain everyday tiles. The eyecandy is not spectacular, but is still very well-done.

As I said earlier, the gameplay of this level is perhaps a bit too easy for most. That is not necessarily a bad thing, but in this case, it may be a bit offputting for those who are significantly experienced at Jazz Jackrabbit 2. There are not too many enemies and there are many oppurtunities in which to heal. Still, gameplay is alright and enjoyable in most cases.

Weapon and enemy placement was sufficiently adaquete. Aside from perhaps having too few enemies, there is not much to notate in this section of the rating. The placement of weapons is also nicely done.

What to make of this level? It is indeed a good single player level that will probably be enjoyable to play. While some may dislike the fact that it is, in fact, quite an easy level, if you get past that, it turns into a fun game. There are some oddly-placed warps that make it less fun, too. However, overall, this is still a nice level and worth your playing. As always, happy levelmaking.

This level indeed is alright for a first level. Regardless, I refuse to rate higher just because it is a first level. After all, that would be absurdly unfair to anyone who made such a level as a second level. Level quality does not change simply depending on when a level is uploaded and what level number the level is for the author.

This level uses the classic “Carrotus” tileset by the Epic team in some more or less intriguing yet simplistic ways. Eyecandy is probably one of the better parts of this level, but not by any weight or measure of significance.

The gameplay in this level is simplistic at best and tedious at worst. In practice, the level was enjoyable at times but suffered from an overall air of mediocrity that can only be described as moderately offputting and more or less morbid.

Weapon placement was perhaps the most guilty section of this area. Weapon placement was generic, boring, and weapons were often all clumped together in one area, which definitely hurt gameplay.

So, what of this level? Overall, this is probably below average. I can not find any time in which I would be able to recommend this, but some might like it. My final score is a 4.5. Good luck with future levelmaking. This level does offer some interesting points, but there is a lot to be wanted that is not in this level. A lot. And, if you wish to improve your levelmaking, I recommend you look after these sorts of things. Regardless, this is not bad, and is worth a download. Good luck with future levelmaking.

Pretty good.

TILESET USE/EYE CANDY: Good. All the tiles fit together, I thought there was enough eye candy. There could have been more though, and it would have been just as good. Still, an 8 isn’t bad.
8/10

GAMEPLAY: The flow of the level was ok, but I think that the entrances to the sewers should have been farther on the left and right. I like battle levels to be circular.
8/10

ITEM/WEAPON PLACEMENT: I don’t understand the food, and wherever you have weapons, I think you have too many in one place. Also, I think you have too many rapid fires. On the plus side, the respawn times are good.
7/10

ORIGINALITY: Really, it’s just a battle level, but the sewers are neat, so you get a 7.
7/10

REPLAY VALUE: This seems fine. I think replay would be more if it were larger, or more secrets, so an 8.
8/10

OVERALL (An average): I like math, so my overalls are average. (My overalls are average? I don’t wear overalls.)
7.6, rounded up to 7.7.

PS (Trafton, I hope I did better on this review)

Very nice… I played this level in it’s early stages, and gave raptor some pointers on how to make it a little better… and well, it’s better!

EYECANDY: 8.0
——————-
The eyecandy was very nice, but one of the background layers with the trees looked a little funny because of the X-SPEED setting… it moved a little weird, but there were no other problems with the eyecandy, all though nothing was extraordinary.

WEAPONS AND AMMO: 7.0
——————————-
There weren’t too many weapons and powerups compared to the old version, but that’s all right. For some reason, I didn’t think the placement of the ammo was all that amazing, though. Still good.

BUGS: 9.0
————-
Well, there were a couple secret areas that used to be there that had, for example, airboards in them, that had nothing in them now, but that’s not much of a bug. Also, in the old version, there were ‘wind tunnels’ under water, that you could only go through one way. I got stuck in them a lot, but fortunately, they are gone now.

CREATIVITY: 8.0
———————-
Nothing new about the eyecandy, but I’ve never seen water in a Diamondus level, and there were tons of secret places.

Now, my little sister is pressuring me into hunting for Easter eggs around the house, and all though I really don’t want to, I’m gonna. I’ll pretend Jazz hid them, that’ll be more fun, right? Lemme average this together quick…

Okay, 8.0! Great job raptor, if you ever make a future update, my recomendation (I can never spell that word, it’s probably spelled wrong, right?) is to fix up the ammo placement a bit, and get rid of empty secret areas!

Good job, keep up the good work.

(yay, my longest review ever, and it’s short, too!)

I thought that donwloads on J2O were supposed to be rated. I know for a fact that they are. And I figure that this isn’t different from any other battle/ctf/level pack.

I quote, from Fquist “levels should be rated for their quality and not for their goal, as it would mess up the site forever.” And I believed that you could just put levels up for N/A purpose before. But I also found out that I was wrong when people started to rate a level that I posted, even though I asked them not too.

I’m sorry if I didn’t understand the rules or something, but as far as I know, you are supposed to rate items posted on the J2O.[This review has been edited by URJazzCC]


Good work EvilMike, this level is just a collection of CTF levels, if you did’nt notist.

According to your level, there’s a good idea. The enemy placement was good also. There were few bad points that:
*The first level hasn’t got an ‘Area End Of Level’ event.
*In the first level, there’s a warp, which sends you to an area that has no way out. Also, there’s a trigger crate, which doesn’t have a trigger ID.
An 2.0 is good for the gameplay and enemies.

Hey! I have the same idea with raptor. It’s so annoying. There are warps thar send you to the spikes that you cannot escape (without cheating). So pay attention while you’re trying to build a hard level. Except this, the gameplay was great. The balance of the goodies and baddies were good. The beginning of the level was interesting. (Like travelling with the sýcker tube, and see the enemies that you will fight.
Generally, this level was good. I n my opinnion it colud be better for you to re-upload this level and remove these annoying warps. If you do, there can be a very good gameplay and fun. Trust me!:p
