Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Hmmm, this was quite strange level, so let’s see what’s my rating:

DESIGN
So, Rabbitaria, well that’s quite good idea, and in otherwise.
8/10

EYECANDY
Looks that you still have a little problems with that.
7/10

GAMEPLAY
Well, this is only on level. There were some text strings were the author asked: “Do you have fun yet?” Well, I didn’t have very fun, maybe a bit.
4/10

DIFFICULTY
Because this had to be in anyway very hard level, so I don’t rate this section at all. And I played this level through, I also had to save several times.
N\A

INCLUDING
A readme, good, but you should name it with an other name than only readme. And good that you set the next level to the menu.
6/10

PICKUP AND ENEMY PLACEMENT
Strange slums of enemies, but well placed pickups.
6/10

+ OR – EXTRA POINTS
none

OVERALL 6.2 =6.2
LEVEL RANK: Average level
DOWNLOAD RECOMMENDATION: Decide yourself.

ENDING COMMENTS:
Aaaaaaaaaaaaverage level. And special one. You made a level that had to be difficult but do not add strange traps there. Just place mucho enemies but don’t place them in slums. At least on tile space between enemies. Goodbye, like ya said in the level, don’t take this in a bad way.

So, let’s begin to rate again and see how good this level totally is.

DESIGN
No design? Except sunshine walking?
2/10

EYECANDY
Well, this is quite tileset is quite simple and so, I can’t give this higher than 6. Because this had also some eyecandy bugs with layer 3.
6/10

GAMEPLAY
Pretty short and no other levels.
3/10

DIFFICULTY
Easy. Oh, I didn’t test this with hard, well, a 5.
5/10

INCLUDING
No readme. But good that you have putted a next level setting but it should lead to the main menu.
3/10

PICKUP AND ENEMY PLACEMENT
Quite less enemies and strange slums of pickups.
4/10

+ OR – EXTRA POINTS
+1 Good echos

DOWNLOAD RECOMMENDATION= No

ENDING COMMENTS:
So, an average level. We see these pretty often here at j2o, so I don’t have special comments so I just say that: Practice, please.

Well, here at long last rating. I haven’t rated anything at here for long time because my computer went broken. But now I have new, so I installed JJ2 on my comp, played it through and came here again to download, play and rate levels. But I didn’t find the TSF CD so no TSF levels anymore :(! Sad thing but now Even more can play my levels because I make them with 1.23. But now on to the rating:

Trafton and Violet, why those extraextraextraextrahuge reviews? Could someone read those? Well, I have cut off some acts of my ratings. But now let’s begin:

DESIGN
Well this doesn´t have a story like ya, Spaztic, said in the rdm.file that this is just for fun. I anyway like of the acts, so an 8.
8/10

EYECANDY
This is quite good with extra effects too, but I found few bugs.
9/10

GAMEPLAY
Nice puzzles, and levels are enough long.
9/10

DIFFICULTY
I don’t even know that does this have any difficulty options. The levels are quite difficult even on easy, so I can imagine how difficult this is on hard, if this has difficult settings. Seems that this pack is meant to quite experienced players.
6/10

ICNLUDING
Good rdm.file included. I liked the school-tileset did ya make that?
Bad that you didn’t include every levels on that pack. No next level after Mines of moria, and that level was quite annoying, walking in the mazes, duh.
5/10

PICKUP AND ENEMY PLACEMENT
Well placed pikups, but strangely placed enemies.
7/10

+ or – extra points.

4+ Good effects, wow!
1- Places to get stuck
1+ Good music choice

OVERALL 8
Level rank: Good level
Download recommendation: yes

ENDING COMMENTS:
So, I don’t know then. Maybe I didn’t like your level so much than the others. Or then I just see too much errors or something in your levels.
But 8 means a good level anyway. Seems that you have skill on level making too. Keep going!

Superjazz reviews. Important: No originality anymore. That’s weird thing and can’t be rated. And music choice away too.

DESIGN
Quite good. But could have a little more action.
7/10

EYECANDY
This is otherwise good but the foreground layer is badly placed. That looks poor.
6/10

GAMEPLAY
You said that this is big sp level. In fact this is not. This is quite short.
And not fun. Level is completed in 5 minutes or hardly even that.
3/10

DIFFICULTY
Way too easy because so short level.
5/10

INCLUDING
Well, this hasn’t very many files but you named the readme as same as level. Good!
7/10

PICKUP AND ENEMY PLACEMENT
Enemies are this time placed well, but a little lesser of items.
7/10

+ or – extra points.
+1 Good endboss in the level.
+1 Ok readme file

Overall: 6.1666667 Level rank: Averagelevel
Download recommendation: No need. Level is way too short. Waste of time.

Overall comments: So average level again. Put more time to your levels, so it looks a big level. But the level size is not the only way. You can also make more than one level, so then it doesn’t need to be so big. So, otherwise ok, but level size, remember!

Superjazz was here.

Well… I know that Blade is a good tileset maker, and his tilesets are easy to use, like the author used in his level the blade’s forest tileset. But the tilesets are not very different like. He makes the tilesets to view different places with different background and eyecandy tiles but paths and walls are same like. But we are now talking about fanden’s “the evil forest” level. So let’s go to rate it. And now a new section in my review: Music choice! And the “effects and other” section off from the rating. But I may still give + points in the extra point section if you put some (good) effects. If they are bad or some bugs, they cause – points.

DESIGN
Medium. I can understand that the charachter has come to a some kind of forest but this doesn’t an original story.
6/10

EYECANDY
This is also medium. No big bugs, but no other background. Except the underground place where the eyecandy was bad.
6/10

ORIGINALITY
Well. Nothing.
2/10

GAMEPLAY
This is just one level, and quite short one. And this level is also non-playable with jazz, because in the underground place there is a buttstomp event to the right, so I guessed that there must be a event like that, cause I can’t get forward, and because I was playing with jazz, I needed to type jjmorph to change to spaz. And I guessed right.
3/10

DIFFICULTY
Well this belongs to the medium side again.
7/10

INCLUDING
So, because there’s only one level, only 5. Ya put blade’s letters to the background in the level for show who has made tileset and also with a text. But still 5 because no readme file.
5/10

MUSIC CHOICE
This is one of the best thing in the level. This works well with the level. Nice one!
8/10

PICKUP AND ENEMY PLACEMENT
Pickups were placed well but enemies not.
5/10

+ or – extra points
+1 (Single level with good boss)

Overall 5.375
Level rank: Average level
Download recommendation: yes, I’m not really sure, but try anyway.

Oh, so an average level. Keep practicing and get a higher rating. Good luck on your level making. (or does level-making need luck?)

Well, this is quite good tileset, except the eternal tileset. I don’t understand the meaning of that background tileset, maybe that would be a good intro or ending tileset, like destroy used this in his level pack for ending. By the way I noticed that this pack contained few levels. So I extracted the files to the directory of jj2 and when I started jj2 at home cooked levels, I didn’t find any of those. So, you may have hidden those all levels, or then there’s an error in my comp. So I checked the tilesets and levels in jcs. And I noticed that one level was only a background level and contained only scenery of snow. Then other two levels were battle levels, and the levels were just same but another were darker like the tileset.

Ok, only one level and tileset conversion. So the tileset isn’t yours? Anyway it’s ok, and the level was quite well made. Ok! That will be 8, but I took it off 0.3 because no next level setting and few things I dislike. So 7.7. Of course I don’t make a long explanation like trafton every time. This time I’m busy so I said this straight, but maybe next time points and more comments.

Well, I don’t write points this time, so let’s say it straight. And seems, that I’m the first reviewer.

So the level has quite lot of bad things, but the tileset looks ok and the music were from that fun game “lotus III.” I just luv that game, I would still play it, if I could have my old dos-computer still. But the music wasn’t original, it was remixed some. So I checked the tileset it was ok. But the level was quite bad. I tell ya now.

The background in the level moves tooooooooooooooo fast. And the level is also too long for a race level if there’s also a trap that if you fall, ya get back to the start. Eyecandy looks good (except the background.)

So, maybe I rate this pack by these files.

Level 6/10
Tileset 8/10
Music 8/10

+ or – extra points
none

Overall 7.3333333 Level rank: Medium level.
Download recommendation: If you like to try, but not good to play so that’s why I take 0.5 off. So 6.7 is the real rating for your level. See ya!

Let’s write a rating. No comments sorry.

Tile amount 8/10
Tile linking 9/10
Anim tiles, spikes, etc. 6/10
Realization 7/10

+ or – extra points
+3 points because the example level.
-1 point because the simpleness.

Overall 8 Rank: Good tileset
Download recommendation: yes!

So you are pretty good tileset maker and level maker too. But there is a little simpleness and it doesn’t make levels very exciting. But hey, you got an 8. And your tileset might be useful.

I say: Let’s go!

DESIGN
Well I don’t think that there are any story or explains for this episode. So I must to give it 1.
1/10

EYECANDY
Well, this is not much better. You used quite few tiles, and the kitfond tileset, what was called rayman were really bad, but I give this 2.
2/10

ORIGINALITY
I know that this is not a copy from anywhere but kitfond. Only 2.
2/10

GAMEPLAY
I think this has more levels than 3 but because the missing tileset for level 4, or was it 5, I can’t play those other levels. But I believe that this has some gameplay anyway, though.
3/10

DIFFICULTY
The level difficulties are ok except end bosses are too hard, cause the amount of them and the arenas are so badly created.
3/10

INCLUDING
No way! Level names haven’t the same starting initials and the tileset is missing.
1/10

PICKUP AND ENEMY PLACEMENT
Too bad. Enemies are strangely placed in systems and there is too many pickups in some places. Hope you know what I mean.
1/10

EFFECTS + OTHER
The fishes are floating in the air, no water, and no other effects or anything special.
1/10

+ or – extra points
1- You used the ugly rayman tileset. It makes your episode worse.

Overall 1.625 Level rank: Poor level
Download recommendation: no!

Looks like you too should practice in level and tileset making. And the other author didn’t seem to be much better than you. See ya! Have this 1.7 anyway.

I have seen that ya make many good conversions and editions. This is also good one, but the xample levels were not good. They were so short. so 0.5 points because that. Make good example levels or not at all. See ya!

So I don’t write any comments or replies, because seems that others have said those for you already so I just give the points. And now new point in my point review: Difficulty!

Design 2/10
Eyecandy 1/10
Originality 1/10
Gameplay 1/10
Difficultiness 1/10
Including 2/10
Weapon and enemy placement 2/10
Effects + other 2/10

+ or – extra points
-1 points because there are places where I can fall down and then I can’t get back to up.

Overall 1.375 Rank: Poor level

Don’t use too simple tilesets. Use better tilesets and practice a lot, I don’t think those levels are good. 1.5 anyway.

So, I just say what you may need to fix in this level.

-Be sure that you don’t have any places in your level that a player can get stuck in those.
-Do not use foreground layers too much. Do not make the level too confused.
-limit your trap and enemy placement.

So, otherwise your level is good.

Let’s say: This is pretty useless tileset, because this has only some background tiles. There are lots of things missing. But the eycandy is good. Plz more 3d like tilesets. This doesn’t belong to your best tilesets. You usually have good tilesets but this? This will be 3 but +1 because the example level.

Good! Ya have learned something new too, but many things are still “invisible” for ya. I mean that you have to practice, So here are some tips for making a level with good eyecandy and gameplay.

-do not use to the walls and everytime floors the same tile, so it doesn’t look boring.
-Everyone must know how to place a good background to the layer 8, but layer 5, 6 and 7 are not important. So, if you can’t use them enough well, don’t use them at all. Or then place nearous tiles.
-Put regular packs of food, gems and ammo to your level, except if the level is a special level, where you shalln’t put some or any of these.
-Put enemies on your level too. And of course, effects, like lightning or water.
-Savepoints and carrots. (but do not overuse them!)
-Spend time and make longer levels.
-Remember the animated tiles.
-Test, that can you complete the level or episode properly, before uploading. (I saw that there were several places where couldn’t get through.)

There were some good tips to your level, but I think that there weren’t all of the available tips. I don’t remember, but try to practice, Your levels are funnier to play, when you make good levels, and are an proffesional levelmaker. Good luck!

I don’t give rating because you’re my friend.

I don’t call this an episode, because this has only three levels and the other two levels are not hidden. The levels have lots of tile bugs, so the tiles were place badly. Pickup and enemy placement, that’s ok good. And so on this has some good and bad things, but, because this is not from you sonictth, I can’t rate this, but if I could, I would rate this to a 4.2 or something like that. Texts are german, next time translate those texts on english. It’s the official language here at j2o. Ya and your dad should practise anyway. Your dad levels shows that your dad is not very experienced to use jcs, but practise makes PERFECT!

Yea, but I’m not so lazy this time, so I decided to make bigger review.

DESIGN
Well the idea is quite good and interesting, but the puzzles and uninteresting places, and the level 2, I didn’t find the crate for the computer room, I needed to cheat, few times. Ouch!
7/10

EYECANDY
Ya say eyecandy is bad in first levels, I don’t think so, since those two first levels are from the Jungle Rabbit demo, heh. Eyecandy is good in first levels, and it comes better in the future levels.
9/10

ORIGINALITY
What could I say, oh, this is from demo.
5/10

GAMEPLAY
Wow! This is almost the best thing in this episode, but the level sizes are quite unbalanced so it takes 1 point off.
8/10

INCLUDING
Good Ya included all, and the level are named well.
10/10

PICKUP AND ENEMY PLACEMENT
Lots of enemies. Doh, I played on hard. Pickups are well placed.
8/10

EFFECTS + OTHER
I just give it 8. It’s ok.
8/10

+ or – extra points:
-2 points: Should have a little bit more carrots, and SAVEPOINTS!! When I die, it’s boring to start from the start always.

Overall 7.5714286 Rank:Medium level
Download recommend: yes, but it has lot of trouble-solving, and little hard too.

Argh! What the…? Why marquee remove? Really odd, well if thou don’t like it then I don’t keep it, ok k plz thx.

Ok, let’s go

TILE AMOUNT: Just great!
10/10

TILE LINKING: Ok, because this is from JJ1 The paths and walls are otherwise well linked. I can give it only 8, because you just convert the right tiles.
8/10

ANIM TILES, SPIKES ETC.:Good? Yes!
8/10

REALIZATION: Looks very much JJ1 tileset. Well done.
9/10

EXAMPLE LEVEL: It was fun. Fun those water level buttons. Anyway there’s few places to get stuck, and few tile bugs.
9/10

Overall: 8.8 Level rank: good level.

AAAAAaaaaargh! This is painful. Doesn’t look rayman at all, and the tileset, is terrible. It has only just some kind of background, and the example level. Just as nothing. Nothing new, tileset has no patches walls, objects, only background. And the example level has only 6 gems waiting for you up, and then ya meet devan again. And there are some strange colors in this.

Ow, what a shame. I haven’t never given 1 to anyone at j2o, usually those poor levels have at least one good thing or idea to support, but this is the worst thing at j2o what I have ever seen.

Your level rank is: poor level.

I’m too tired to write bigger review. I just say

Overall 8.7
