Yup, it’s a nice first level.
The gameplay is overall bad, there are too few jumps.
Eyecandy is ok, but on most places you need ceiling.
Orginality: Really nice. To get 10 coins is a nice idea and some places are uhm.. orginal
Placement of items: Not bad, but we want more weapons and less gems.
Further: There are too much coins hidden and you must come back.
If i should rate this, it was a 4.0.
Say your dad to practise and he would be one of the nicest level makers ever ;P

Wow…it seems that this level contains an entire spectrum of reviews from “this is really good for a first level” to “I would rate this 2.7 if I could.” So I suppose I’ll find out what I would rate it.

This level shows a decent ability to create a level, especially since it is your father’s first level on Jazz Jackrabbit 2. Despite the acceptable gameplay, though, this level’s eyecandy leaves a lot to be desired. There are many tile bugs, which I suppose is acceptable enough when you are a new player, but there’s still a lot. Since I don’t rate based upon how much experience someone has in levelbuilding, I can’t increase my rating just because they are new. Even though the eyecandy looks very messed up, the gameplay shows some promise. It’s good to master gameplay before eyecandy, since gameplay is often more important than gameplay (I personally would rather have a bad-looking but very good to play level than a great-looking but unplayable level.) Still, the gameplay is a tad linear. Regardless, this work shows promise. Tell your dad to keep working on levels and make some of your own, too! No rating since this is not by the actual uploader.

+ PROS: The gameplay is not the worst I’ve ever seen, though it definitely is no where near the best. Shows promise.

- CONS: Bad eyecandy, barely OK level design. Still needs work, but not bad for a first level.

VERDICT: I can’t rate this since it is not your’s, but I’m not sure what I would rate it if it wasn’t. Nothing above 5, nothing below 3.7, though. Probably around 4.5. So, out of confusion, HTML tags:

EDIT: Please do not rate this. It is not his level. You can not rate it, since it is not his level. ;-P[This review has been edited by Trafton AT]

When someone puts in their download description “Just download it, it can’t do any harm,” I get slightly scared. Still, this is a useful tool (I guess) for anyone who is German and doesn’t know enough English to operate in a normal JCS environment. There isn’t really that much more to add other than please do not rate this. It’s not his creation originally, and it should not be rated as so. Still, if you really really need a German JCS.INI (I suppose for a few people, it could be a good thing), this is it. I can’t verify how well the German was translated since I go not know German, but I’m sure that it was at least decent.

Oh, and as a note: I’m not sure whether this fits into the category of Commercial Software for Download. It is a support file, but I know uploading JCS.EXE is illegal. Just keep a watch out.

+ PROS: If you’re new to JCS and German, I suppose this could be useful.

- CONS: It could be illegal. And ALWAYS BACK UP JCS.INI FIRST, regardless of what the level descriptor says.

VERDICT: Since it is not his creation, I can not rate this. Still, assuming it is legal, I guess German JCSers who are new to JCS“ing” and can’t understand what the English JCS text says could find some benefit in this. Still, I have a sneaking feeling that this has been done before. Hmm.

Eeeeeeeeeek…I was fine with the description of “plain and simple lvl,” but I have to say that the part about warps freaked me out. Honestly, I’ve came to the conclusion that warps just don’t work wonders in CTF. They’re kind of cheap excuses for not having a real flow. Still, this level is not as bad as it could have been. Then again, it’s not as good either. It’s an OK capture the flag level, but probably not anything I could recommend someone play.

GAMEPLAY
Flow: Flow was not anything special. I bumped into things a lot, and became aggrevated quickly. This level features nearly impossible to manuver around eyecandy. The flow of this level just is not good at all.
Layout: Layout is uh…bad. This includes base placement, which was horrible. Honestly, this would be better as a battle level by quite a bit. I’m not sure if it is the strangest level ever, but it certainally is weird. It plays like a somewhat decent battle level with a few bases stuck into it randomly just so it could be labled as a Capture the Flag level. It really isn’t.

EYECANDY
Tileset use: Well, the tileset used is Cheq. Need I say more? Frankly, the eyecandy is bland. I know that it’s hard to use Cheq to make good eyecandy, but that’s no excuse for having bad eyecandy. The author should have simply chosen another tileset. Block tilesets really just look cheap. Especially black and white ones. Considering the tileset that was used, I suppose this measure is OK. Still, it’s not good enough.
Tile bugs: It’s not easy to make tile bugs with Cheq, so there isn’t much to say here.

CONCLUSION
Honestly, this level would have been an OK battle level. But it simply is not a good Capture the Flag level. The bases seem randomly inserted, and the rest of the level is pretty much only slightly above average. Considering the tileset used, the eyecandy is OK. Unfortunately for the level’s author, I don’t rate only by considering the tileset used, so eyecandy was more than subpar. All things considered, this is a far below-average CTF level and a average level overall. There really isn’t more to say.

+ PROS: There aren’t any really outstandingly positive features of this level. It’s almost decent.

- CONS: Looks bland and bleached, doesn’t play well, bad base placement, I could go on and on and on and on and on and on and on…

VERDICT: A 5.0 because it is so average and no download recommendation. I actually recommend this level more (though that isn’t much at all) to battle affecinatos, since it is slightly above average for a battle level if you were to remove the bases. As a CTF level, though, I can’t recommend this to anyone at all. I’m sorry, but this level is plainly average.

I had a big, long review written for this and my computer, as it often does when I am writing reviews, crashed. So I’ll have to write a semi-short review on this level. This is a very good capture the flag level by FireSworD. It uses the fairly often used tileset Tube Electric Night in a way that you would not expect to see it used. It is hard to describe in just a review, so I won’t. You’ll have to play the level for yourself to get what I’m trying to say. Level flow and navigation is one of the absolute best aspects of this level. The level’s flow is outstanding. I rarely found myself bumping in to anything and nearly never wished that something was located elsewhere. There were a few minor qualms I had, but none were major enough to deserve mention.

GAMEPLAY
Flow: Flow was, as I mentioned, excellent. The springs were used very well in conjunction with the natural ground-based navigation and flow, and everything was very good here.
Layout: Layout was fairly standard with bases at opposite diagnol ends of the level and a warp at each end. The layout served the level well.

EYECANDY
Tileset use: Tileset use was good. There wasn’t a huge amount of “new” uses, but it was different enough to hold my attention.
Tile errors: I did not notice any plain tile errors. There were a few things that looked slightly off, but again, there weren’t enough to make much difference at all.

CTF ONLY
Balance: Balance was very good. Neither team had any unfair advantage that I could tell.
Flag Bug: The level sort of looks like it could have flag bug, but I could not cause it in testing.

CONCLUSION
This is an excellent level with great flow and good eyecandy. This level should be hosted often and probably will be. I can see that it will become a “classic” level of sorts.

+ PROS: Excellent flow, good eyecandy, all-around a great level.

- CONS: The eyecandy wasn’t ultra-amazing or new, but there isn’t any major con to speak of.

VERDICT: An 8.7 and download recommendation. This is simply one of the best Capture the Flag levels out there. I recommend everyone download this immediately. A fantastic level that is sure to become a classic.

Tell your dad to practise. And tell him to make sure his eye candy is right next time. I’d rate this a 2.7. But since he made it. I won’t rate it at all.

First, the tileset: there are some good graphics, some eyecandy, but it’s not good enough. Those aliens and the guy in that door or warp thingy or whatever it is make it look very bad and “rookie-like”. Not worthy of making levels with. Msking is bad. But it has the basic stuff, like blocks and poles.

Then, the level: …it’s probably good for that new game you invented.

No download reccommandation.

I’m being very generous by giving a 6.5.[This review has been edited by Waz]

Ummmm..this is the strangest level ever. I belive that it could be worked on.
Eyecandy: This part of the review taken out. I don’t blame any Cheq levels for not having eyecandy.
Gameplay: Hard to manuver, annoying. Bad warp placement. 3.2
Base placement: Not in good taste. Obviously, the creator doesn’t know how to place them very well. 2.5
Weapon placement: Good. What else to say? 6.0
Design: No comment.
Some random other stuff: No comment.
Overall: 4.2

Wow, cool music Acid and JSZ Jazz.

The beggining was cool and unexpected, but then i couldeasily tell this was from orbitus. Some parts like the screech i didnt like as much, but the music had a good flow to it, some parts like the one right after the screech was cool. This one is definately one of those good remixes, had tons of good beats, like all those backround effect noises, prevented the music from being one of those silent dull ones etc. A well job indeed, Good job both of you!
