I haven’t played the original Hocus Pocus so I cannot comment on how wel it resembles it…
I enjoyed the episode right up until I got to the switch combinations with the white bottle. I really hate that kind of puzzle. It basically forces you to systematically try EVERY combination until you get the right one. I used jjnext every time I encountered one of those from that point on.
I thought the big pixels on the tileset were a bit anoying but I guess that had to be done to keep the scale the same as the original.
On the whole a fun episode. Shame about the combination-puzzles…
[edit] With the combination puzzles out of the way I must say I quite enjoyed it.[This review has been edited by Ninja Dodo]
I was expecting a little more based on the reviews, but i overally liked this. The spaceship idea in the beginning, it was well done. Looked cool and so. The race, few obstacles, looked a bit barren to me, not much fun. The eyecandy was well done, i liked it, the wind, it was annoying and stuff. The mainj problem was that this level was barren and got boring REALLY fast. Download reccomedation? I guess so…..
Even I bothered help JSZ Jazz, it dosen’t give bonus points in the rating.
The convertion is screwed from the orginal quality, and the mask is badly screwed up too.
Enough of that, the tileset at least have a textured background.
I wouldn’t say download is recommed thought.
Nice, but you could refresh the samples (they’re about 8 years old, man). As your remixing enemy I can’t rate it, but it seems that it will be hard to beat you this time.
Hmm, it’s a conversion (ripped tiles) and it’s not even a good one.. All neccesary stuff missing and stuff. Really odd that tilesets like this sometimes get ratings higher than a 6.
heers da ratin u erned u messed up my jj2!
(That is not the level’s fault, but your fault for downloading and installing too many episode files. Do not do this again. Rating removed. -Trafton)[This review has been edited by Trafton AT]
Splendid! Good work, the graphics were great and level and tileset too.
I should make an episode of this tileset, but I’m very bad background maker. I have problems to get layer 5, 6 and 7 background tiles “living”. And I have few other episodes unfinished. What should I do?
Well, that’s bad I haven’t seen that game “Hocus Pocus” or whatewer the name is.
Puzzles were really fun, and there was lots of enemies to shoot, that’s good. But seemed that you have exaggerated with the quantity of carrots. I think that in that type of level needs 5-8 carrots, but that is too much. But I noticed there aren’t any savepoints, is that the mean of a big quantity of carrots or, is there so much them because in that game (Hocus Pocus) Were so much those “Healing potions,” and weren’t any savepoints.
Ok, I don’t comment more. The number is 8,2.
Heh, my first review on this website.:p
I thought it was an okay level, although I think people would just skip to the end of the level w/out collecting any gems whatsoever.9_9 I managed to get 1092 gems in this level, ehe. A download recommendation IMHO.
I can’t unzip the zip file. For some reason, all 3 of the unzipping programs I tried had errors. I could not open it with:
Stuffit expander
Enzip
Cutezip
Hmm….Would be cool if the original “Blue” Music by eiffel 65 was included,but nah.
The tileset is all……well…..blue.
Even though i like blue it gets kinda dull. There are some good eyecandy things here and let me just say I LOVE THE BACKROUND EYECANDY IT LOOKS SO TEXTURED AND STUFF! There are iteresting suckerz, if there is one thing disguise 95% guarantee includes in his tilesets it is suckerz. The tileset, itself is interesting, can be hard to use, but interesting nevertheless. Though not many good levels can become of this, it is a good addition to any jj2 folder.
The level (using the Hocus Pocus Episode 1 tileset (which isn’t included (despite only about 130 people having it))), is a large castle with one goal: To collect 1,000 gems. The author apparently placed exactly 1,000 gems in this level, though you must remember you can get gems out of enemies.
There is a main area, and four dungeons, three of which are called “Monkey Dungeon”, so I presume the author got the text mixed up, and the fourth called “Secret Dungeon”, which you must read the readme to find.
All four dungeons are more or less packed full of gems and coins (if you get 100 coins, you get a sizable chunk of the 1,000 gems), and a few enemies. My favorite was probably the Secret dungeon, with the evil person and the icey area, with the Real Monkey dungeon in second.
Despite the tileset being (I think) fairly easy to use, the eyecandy isn’t all that great. The author did an ok job constructing a Forest area background (used the music for it, too), and had a variety of tiles, but most of the walls were the colorful blocks from the Iceland levels of Hocus Pocus. What other tiles there are, are often misused.
At the end, if you THINK you have 1,000 gems (the author has no way of checking if you do, obviously enough), you can go to an exit. I turned out to have 1,013 gems, but you’re free to beat that. So no, there’s nothing stopping you from running across the whole level, not entering any dungeons, and just going in the exit.
There’s also an area to thank the authors of this “cool and mysterious tileset”. Some of the Hocus stuff (lightning, potions, etc) flash around the names of Fooruman and Greenkiller, along with Black Ninja, Spotty and Violet.
Overall, if you want to see an.. interesting parody, you might want to download this. Might.
I like this pack. It fun.
Edit: Rating Adjusted to a 9.5 because I don’t think I have enough justified to make this a 10. It’s a very fun pack. The only thing I dislike is that when I see the Wizard, I immediately think it is Fooruman. Alas, it is not. ;P[This review has been edited by KJAZZ]
Hmmm….Lets start a review shall we?
The tile placmenet: Not bad, a few errors,, but ok.
Music is good but doesnt fit.
Some mistakes in pickup placment which made me downgrade the rating
If im not mistaken, i think parts of the level are spaz biased. I cant say much more to this except that i give it a 6.5. Im not as easy to impress….
BIG!Huh…quite Cool[This review has been edited by FlameWitch aka BunnyCr]
you had to find 1000 gems!
I DON“T UNDERSTAND THIS LEVEL.1000 GEMS.
