Since im so lazy, ill just make one comment on each section of the review.
Eyecadny:
Basically what you expect, not to good not to bad, around average.
Enemy placement: 5/10 Not horrible, but to many enemies in one spot, make it easier for SPaz.
Tile Placement:
Some parts were really bad, some parts were ok, but mostly they were not to bad.
Diffuclty: twas easy, even though the enemies were overused. The carrots were plentiful in some parts, and the enemies werent just placed difficultly. I think some levels were spaz biased.
*Small note: The boss were area 2 (Bubba) seems to jump through the top of the walls and out of the game. This could easily be fixed, and deducts a few marks.
Pickups: Mostly overused in areas, and occasionally underused in others.
My favourite levels were probably the spacey universe ones, because the tile placmeent was usually decent, and because i am addicted to the set. Although the backrounds werent warped, and the enemy placement was awful (to many clunched up enemies) That, and i got stuck somewhere in a suckertube in the second level.

OVERALL: Some nice levels in there. Not to good of a pack, but an improvement. Keep trying!

This was a decent level pack. The eye candy was OK, but there are often too many enemies in one spot. I couldn’t get past the 6th level…bleck. Possible download.

Cool??? ;-P It’s impossible with Spaz. Maybe you can make a morph or a anti-spaz system (don’t ask me how =P). No music…. If I read the title (RollerCoaster race), I was thinking it was something with sucker tubes.

1st level: Same as the original, but with a few diferences:
-There’s a Bilsy Boss at the end
-The bonus warp takes 50 coins intsead of 100
-Layout has changed slightly
I beat my previous record of 1092 gems; I got 1108 gems in this level.

2nd level: Fairly linear; you have to hit switches & smash crates to move on in the level.

A bit better than the first level, I await the third level with interest.;)

I find any level that advertises its having “new failures” suspicious.
Anyway, while rather evidently a sequel to the other one (the other one is also included in the .zip, but I found it best not to rate that..), the idea has gotten some upgrades. This time, instead of collecting 1000 gems, you go into three dungeons (still full of gems) and find the “magic switches” which are marked by having gem tiles on either side of them. Once you hit all three, the fourth dungeon opens, wherein you open a combination lock, then see a bit of foreshadowing for the sequel.
The dungeons vary – the first two are rather linear, you go through them a while, find the switch, then find the way back (there are potions to help you do so – blue teleports you (using sucker tubes), grey lets you fly, orange stops your flying), but in the third one you have to hit four crates before you can find the magic switch (which will also get you out of there)
A variety of ground blocks is used, as you might expect, though there are a few bugs that come from him using all four different enviroments – for example, the magic switch gems are on the background from Hocus02 (the tileset), though they appear on the background of Hocus01 (the tileset) at one point. Speaking of backgrounds, that’s one of this level’s failing points – though it’s not entirely its fault – the background doesn’t really work. It use the pillars from Hocus04 (the tileset) wrong, and the mountains have no base – because the Hocus backgrounds don’t work without the status bar. The author, however, didn’t seem to know you can have a Blank status bar (that doesn’t talk about crystals, level number, and TT-JJ2).. oh well.
This level is a definite improvement over the other one, but parts of it prevent it from getting a higher rating.

This pack features bitmaps (.BMP’s) of Lori, Spaz, and Jazz but they are, as previously mentioned, all marked as the same. As for Moonblaze’s comment: you must not know of a handy Windows feature that allows you to stretch any image you use as the desktop to fill up the entire area. It does not matter how small the bitmap is, Windows will automatically extend it. The images should all be reuploaded correctly, but this is still a nice collection. I’m not sure if I would use it as my desktop (a previous Jazz Jackrabbit 2 desktop picture is by far the better choice), but it is still worth a look.

I like the image, but you maked them all the same. Please upload then one of them.

Haha, you must be kiding. Like anyone here wants to use bad-ripped bmps on a size of 100 sizes less than my actually deskop.

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.

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.

you had to find 1000 gems!

I DON´T UNDERSTAND THIS LEVEL.1000 GEMS.
