Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

If you have TSF, then YOU MUST download this.
Why? It eliminates Amnesia Errors, so you can save in giant levels and use giant music files. How does it do that? It will allocate the maximum amount of RAM for JJ2 possible.
To patch your TSF, just put this in your JJ2 directory, fire it up and click patch. After less than a second amnesia errors are now history.
But just to be sure, I recommend you to make a backup copy of Jazz2.exe, so if anything goes wrong then you can fix it easily.
Overall, it’s a MUST for anyone using TSF, get it or Amnesia Error. Finally one can save in QoB, just as the author intended. DR? Heck yes!

Well, this level is really easy because of the fact that it’s nearly completely flat. It’s extremely linear and you can complete this level by just running and jumping.
Also there’s some really painful and obvious bad tile placements. Like the dark background under the floor that is suddenly cut off. Very ugly.
Eye candy? Surprisingly, it contains a healthy amount of it. The parallax background is good and the windy leaves in the foreground are great too. But in the sprite layer there’s not much of it, sadly.
There’s a lot of enemies but they don’t pose a real threat because you can just jump over them with no problem. Also, the bees at the beginning were going crazy and kept jumping back and forth for some reason. Also, these enemies are randomly chosen. Most of them don’t fit to the tileset used. What is a cat and the caterpillar doing in here?
Also there’s not much powerups. One blaster powerup and a few carrots, sometimes even a gem.

Overall, it’s a beginner’s level that looks like someone just read a tutorial. Boring and easy, but manageable.

I must say this is a pretty nice tileset. It’s very warm, having most of the hues in the warm range. The shiny columns and tubes with some rim lighting are quite nice. And the contrasting cold blue background gives it a really great atmosphere.

The animated tiles look great and some have quite a lot frames and look really smooth. Some other animated thingies like fireball blaster trap isn’t smooth, which is a shame because it’s quite useful and interesting.

Also the Example levels are mindblowingly nice and use some really nifty tricks, including one that the author of the tileset invented. Dry lava is something I’ve never seen before.
The drill is a gimmick used in many platformers that isn’t possible using JCS.

The thing you could’ve improved in the tileset is the squished moon. It’s just looks odd and unprofessional. Also, this odd anime-like rushing lines background doesn’t really appeal to me, it hurts my eyes a bit. The Dense rain tiles look too repetitive IMO, they don’t have any size variation.

Overall, it’s a good looking set that spills it’s atmosphere out of your screen. The cold outdoors and hot indoors contrast in a way giving it an unique feel. If you need an evil castle, then this is what you should get.

Edit:Bumped the rating up to 9, because i think i was a little too harsh with it :P
