New JJ1 conversion of the concurrent converter CelL (Vs Violet). This is a medivo tileset, so it haves nice music, lava and the JJ1 arrows. There are ome bugs, but this is also better tha Ice Wolf’s first conversion. Please betatest this more, things like the white blob at the lamp really suck. It0s a download reccomendaion, but not too huge.

Oh gawd, not another one… :P

Actually I wouldn’t mind more remixes of the same songs, however they have to be of some sort of quality. And this one, I’d personally have to say, is not one of them.

I can hear you’ve got some interesting ideas on sound effects, though not all are used as they should be. The rule that should’ve been applied here is simple: less is more!
More harmony than JSZ Jazz’ mix, though that probably is because less melody channels were changed at all.
And the major downpoint is the drumtrack. Weird cymbals flying all over the place and some added effects don’t instantly make for a killer drumtrack.

I wonder what would happen if we’d combine JSZ Jazz’ and your forces together? You both have strong points that blank out eachothers’ weaknesses. You two could give a coop a try and learn from eachother. :)

Is it me or is everything friggin’ detuned? Argh!

The drumtrack is good. What else is good, you ask? Erm… the effort? :)
Please, please, PLEASE brush up on your music theorem. You’ve definately got potential but I feel it goes to waste like this, sorry.

although it is a good tileset, it is a difficult one to make a good level.

(Interesting. Several people have been disagreeing with you. Could you expand on why you think this, and maybe talk about the rest of the tileset some as well? Rating removal. ~Violet)[This review has been edited by Violet CLM]

This is my most favorite set.
Enough with being plenty usefriendly and only mising a few tiles, the quality is much better than Epic’s own, unique, and simply unbeliveable. Even here, Agama amazed us with whole 3 versions of the tileset. A must download, and my 10 goes to this.[This review has been edited by Moonblaze]

Really, you just changed a few tunes, else its almost the same. I don’t really care if you make them because JSZ Jazz does, because it still needs loads of work.

I found myself give this a point lower than it deserved because of Thunder’s over-rating.
Anyway, its a nice job, but there’s still a few parts in the songs that just sounds bad for say it honestly.

There’s an ULTRA secret? Jeez, I didn’t think Epic would stoop so low as to put a secret within a secret…

So IS this the Deserto secret music or not?

Anyway, I likes this music. Yay.[This review has been edited by 4I Falcon]

Yes, it has a lot of bad guys. Sadly, the author focused a little too hard on this. Along with exclamation marks..
Anyway, this is an ok single player level, using the unoriginal filename “Crazy.j2l”. Like the author’s other level (uploaded today), it starts out better then it ends, The level dissolves into fighting huge armies of enemies, and it’s rather short. However, I love how if you open the door of a house, the enraged owner punches you.
This level has foreground eyecandy (which is annoying) but no background eyecandy. Interesting.
Jeffrocks, I think that your main problem is that you try to make the level all at once, and run out of inspiration after the start. If you feel the level isn’t as good as it was previously, take a break. Work on it later when you’ve got some new ideas. And try to make it longer.

Level rating: 6.2

6.2

The idea of inserting levels into single player rotation is interesting, but most levels that ask you to are pretty much inferior to every single level in the rest of the single player game. Despite the fact that everyone and their gerbil knows how to change the next level setting, the author decided to tell us. I doubt I will follow his instructions, but this is a average to good level nonetheless. The level uses the Colon tileset, a default tileset that ships with Jazz 2 and isn’t that easy to use. The beginning of the level is, as Violet said, by far the best part. Tileset is is OK, though there are some places where the author used layer 3 improperly to make something look correct. The sewer parts have O.K. eyecandy, but again, nothing spectacular. Weapon placement is pretty good overall, and gameplay is above average. The level gets much less inspired as it goes along. Towards the end, it seems a little strained and isn’t as fun and lemony fresh as at the start. Still, one thing that surprised me about this level is how unlinear it is. The level does not punish the player for looking around and exploring, and there are several different paths at the start you an go off from. One, the sewers, is hard to notice (the only method of access is a buttstomp sewer cover.) There are parts of the level where the greenish blue sewer walls clash terribly with the pink ground from the rest of the level, and this significantly detracts from gameplay. There are some elements missing in this level, but it is nonetheless fairly solid. This level may not be as strong in every area as one would hope, but it’s still a fun play. Worth a download, but don’t expect to have hours of joy. I considered for a second adding this to rotation, but I do not think it is worth it. There are parts of this level that may make you have the impulse, but they will be quickly downplayed by the level’s quirks. I give it a 6.2, but no download recommendation.

Anyway, you didn’t made the tileset, or the music, which makes this to an erm.. single player level. Not mutiple. Unless you count the ZIP as a part of the pack.
This is a very ugly level, the layers isen’t right used and I feel out.
Your only goal is to go get the weapons, where there’s a few useless text events. You can basicly do “nothing”.
Download not recommed.

Well it’s my First Level

When a level author claims their level “may work in TSF,” it is pretty much guaranteed that the level will be nothing special. This level is not an exception. The level is something that could be made in five minutes even with very limited Jazz Creation Station knowledge. The level is very small, and consists mainly of a flat surface with some ammo and a path that leads up to a small empty room with a warp at the end. Seemingly randomly-placed background items add to the confusion of trying to figure out what is solid and what is not. However, the more confusing question would be why anyone would bother playing this horrible level. The labeling as a single player level is almost more confusing. The level contains no enemies, nor does it contain an ending position. The so-called multiplayer add-on area is simply a small area protected from the rest of the level by a wall that contains a multiplayer level start and warps into the single player area (if it really is a single player area.) Not only that, but the multiplayer start sits right next to a wall. In other words, this level is impossible to host in multiplayer, and isn’t a single player level at all. Can we even call this a level? This level features no redeeming qualities. Flow is terrible, and so is everything else. The randomly placed waterfalls are almost ugly, even though I never thought it was possible to make the JJ1: Diamondous waterfalls ugly. Regardless, this level is bad with a capital B. No download recommendation at all and the low, low score of one point two. It would be a good idea to try to spend more than five minutes on levels. They often turn out to be much, much better that way.

Oh, yes, and lest I forget: these files unzip to a subdirectory. It always takes me a few mintues to realize what happened when a level does this, and I really, really, really dislike it. The level wasn’t even worth the five minutes it took to find the file or the ten minutes it took the write the review. Then again, this level wasn’t even worth the five seconds it took to download it. Beware of this level. Avoid at all costs.

EDIT: First level or not, this is a bad level. Spend more times on your levels, or you will continue to get grades like this. The truth is most first levels are bad because the authors assume they can slap together something bad and get a high rating. This isn’t true. Even if this was your first level, it is really bad. Spend more time on your levels. If your first level is under a rating of four or so, either you are a really, really bad levelmaker in the current state or you didn’t spend enough time on your levels and didn’t put much effort into them. There are very few cases where someone is truly that bad, so it is probably the later for you.

BR>Spazy: This isn’t the tileset you are rating. This is the level.[This review has been edited by Trafton AT]
