Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

7th Lava Fall, the level, is the quintessence of awful. Off the top of my head, I can’t think of a worse CTF level whose layers tile correctly. The Jehlevator is slightly better but not much, plus it’s tiny. You never want to play either of these. So why the download recommendation? The zip contains 7th Lava Fall.j2t.

Pretty tileset. This teme is a bloody planet.

Art Design
———————-
Is good. There are background, vines, sign “text”, Water Block and tubes.
The background works best in 16bit but not in 8bit.
Some resemble the old tile tileset “bl00d”, there is also a waterfall very small and should be implemented in the layout and eye.

Masks
——————
The masks work well.

Example Level
———————————
The example level is nice, also the layout, has the script.
and I will not rate example levels.

Overall
——————-
it’s nice, I liked a lot.
Download reccomended? Yes, try it!

This tileset ‘Organic’ takes on a theme that hasn’t been done properly before on J2O and does it very well too! Body/gut themes aren’t uncommon in platforming games, yet SkulG managed to make this one stand out on it’s own. There’s one type of ground tiles but enough scenery to choose from, such as arteries, membranes, blood (acid?) pools, a creepy eye, and err, cells? All share the same drawing style and fit together well.

The Battle level ‘Brain Tumor’ might have a disgusting name but yeah, it fits with the tone of the set. It’s clearly more than a mere example level, and has a tunnel-style layout that works especially well for about 3 to 6 players or small Team Battles. Ammo is not that plenty but I personally like not having seeker or RF spamfests on every level, so it’s fine here. Best of the level would still be the original atmosphere it creates thanks to proper use of the many sceneric tiles and the AngelScript that adds fluid movement to the background.

To me this set is the clear winner of Trey’s contest, and I recommend download for everyone looking to make a level with an original style, which is rare in 2015! I also recommend the level for the same reasoning, to play an okay Battle level with an original atmosphere!

The Tileset looks unique and almost the same as Jazz 2 Tilesets

This looks gruesomely marvelous, reminds me of a tricked out version of the Blood tileset from the old irc server (still no idea who made that to this day). Can’t wait to play around with the complete version!

Bloody_Body, there will be a complete version of this set. Since this tileset is to much fun! skulg will add some animated tiles and more tiles to work with.

When will this be finished? We don’t know yet. Somewhere in the summer perhaps…

However, where did you get stuck? At the vines? Ill ask skulg to fix the mask and maybe we could reupload it. Ill let you know :)

Edit (Answer to Mystic Legends ):
I’m looking forward the complete version. This demo version is nice!
I got stuck above the tube, the coordinates of that tile are 28*16. It’s a small matter of course, but I’m sure this tileset would be used for some other levels, so it’s better to fix this small problem :)

Original review:
Well, most of the custom tilesets are really ugly and low-qualified but this one is well-drawn and original. Plaing this was like being jailed into the huge brain of some monster! Those gyrus, vessels, eyes, bloody waterfalls and puddles of blood look really brutal!

It’s a pity that you had a limit of 150 tiles, I’m sure you could make lots of useful tiles otherwise. However, seems like those 150 tiles are enough to make a fully functional level: there are tubes, vines and an awesome background modified with Angel Script.

The mask isn’t perfect, though. Sometimes player can get stuck into the wall.

Done some crap in the previous years, sorry about that.

7th Lava Fall (CTF Level):

Gameplay: This level is huge, the most annoying part to get back to the Red base is very hard to get. I Was searching to get at the Red Base and I done 2 warps, thats alot. Without Sucker tube and warps is impossible to get to each other. But the good thing is that level is very challenging and huge duels will be success.
base. 10/25 points

Eyecandy: Not much eyecandy. Just weird we are moving to right. That huge thing is moving to right, thats pointless. There is also something lava-like thing in the ground that is transparent. It looks very ugly. 9/25 points

Ammo placement: It has almost great Ammo Placement, but there are alot empty spaces and
WTF THERE ARE CHOCOLATES? 18/25

Bugs: I Didn’t find any bugs. 25/25

TOTAL: 10+9+18+25=62/10=6,2 – Okay, if you want CTF party with 32 players would be good, but if you plan to doing it just for 3 VS 3 or 2 VS 2, oh boy, dont do that

Agree with PJ.

These levels are pretty poor held up to today’s standards. It seems people got excited about the tileset used in these levels rather than the levels themselves. After all, they aren’t just the example levels, they’re the focus of this upload.

Nice work. Aldo u get kind lost of in it u know, because of colors in back ground…But u did a good job, and I respect it.

[Review changed to quick review.]

I’m not here to rate the levels, my attention is on the tileset they use.

Art Style:

Nothing short of superlative. The fact that the city blocks are ripped from UT isn’t a problem for me. Every time I play UT3 now, I just see 7th Lava Fall dotted in around the place. Even Desolation has to give way to defeat here. An almost perfect 9.9 here.

Diversity of Tiles:

What can I say, plenty of little tools here. It’s so easy to make trains with this tileset, and all of the train levels look amazing. Of course, the possibilities don’t end there. I used this tileset for HWS Altair once, and I found so much to take advantage of in this tileset. Most of the tiles mesh so easily, and nothing is off-limits to the JCS’er. Wipes the floor with its opponents with a 9.7.

Layer Management:

This is where Desolation has the edge, since this wasn’t the primary goal of 7th Lava Fall. Of course, all tilesets have weaknesses, but hey, 7th doesn’t trip over itself here.
Have fun with the 8.8 this one picks up.

Environment:

So many options are present. Customisable ships and other vehicles, twisting pipes, lava streams, lava pools, fans, metal beams and goodness knows what else all comes together to make a peerless tileset. If that wasn’t enough, turn Mask mode on, and look at the mask messages. Yes, Jesus saves, and Dethman has infused the truth into this tileset, netting a 9.7 in the process.

Result:

Art Style – 9.9
Diversity of Tiles – 9.7
Layer Management – 8.8
Environment – 9.7

Total —> 9.525

Final Rating: 9.7

I may have said that Desolation transcends this, but Desolation 7th doesn’t, as it obscures the Christian messages and doesn’t look as good as either of its two originators. That and Desolation just scrapes a victory, only because of the increased versatility and the fact that it was made by a team.

(Unfortunately, this is not a tileset upload, although your thoughts on the tileset used by the levels are certainly appreciated. ~Violet)

Very nice tileset with lots of eyecandy
But as the previous reviewers said its rated for the CTF levels not the tileset…

I would give it a 10 as a tileset
But the levels aren’t perfect…(8)

(10 + 8) / 2 = 9

Cool ctf :)
(Unsupported rating (10) removal. Thanks for noticing that this is CTF, though. ~Violet)

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!
AMAZING < Mystic Lygends >
I Dont Says More
(Unsupported rating removal. I am getting really tired of this, Jarno. READ THE RULES. ~Violet)

sorry LING BROKEN 2 jazz2city is no longer

It’s good, but you get bored with it. I downloaded this at Jazz2 City.

Nice, it’s not get boring…

God’s tileset. My favorite.

A simple to use tileset that shocks me at how brilliant it is.

Edit: Change rating due to biasness (is that even a word)

I will now give myself a headache by writing a simply long review.
Tiles: 2.4/2.5
The tiles were awesome, i mean the color and the texture and all, and how they were drawn. The buildings, steel pipes, boxes and fences and things for eyecnady use and all! Great! Although the top of the animating lava is black for some reason, and i feel some tiles are missing out, such as poles and destruct blox and all.
Useability:2.5/2.5
I know i should of put this later on in the review, but i simply thought i would forget so i put it here. The tileset is very useable, and levels made with it can have a large variety of style. The user friendly part is very good, tiles placed well and all, nothing wrong, a very simple to use tileset.
Animations:2.4/2.5
The lava animations were well, but not the best they can be. They sometimes looked a bit choppy, and strange, so that took out a small part. The acid on the barrels animated well.
SMALL EDIT: There are actually destruct bloxs, they are jsut made to look like barrels and boxes to fit in with the tileset.
Eyecandy: 2.5/2.5
The eyecandy can be filled in with buildings, boxes and stuff and fans and all. Although the eyecandy here is not the type you would find in some of agama’s tileset, its probably one of the bestt it can be.
Texture: The color of the tiles, and the accuracy when drawing them was aweseom and deserved more. The metal and boxes look so real and life like, not the lava though. The tileset just looks real and so cool.
Every thing else: I dont know what i missed, but the tileset rox and this gets a 2.5 because i have no complaints.

The basic summary of the levels: Tileset used well, but levels could of been better and lacked a few stuff.
Closest rounding: Probably 9.7, what im about to give it.

Further Comments: This is by far in my top ten list, and one of the best donwlpoada\s on j20. I hope dethman keeps making those high quality tilesets, because i look forward to downloading them and creating levels with them.

For everyone who missed the whole point of my review: Just donwload this and see yourself. [This review has been edited by Blackraptor]
