For: Doom
Level rating: 4.9
Rating
6.7

Recommendation for downloading: if you’re DOOM fan then you can.

Nice, level has its idea, different funny things (such as “There are too many monsters, can you help me?“lol)
Tileset is average, music is so-so. Original ideas with hurted
obstacles and crates. But level seems to be very empty, not well
designed. (just like DOOM 2d :)).
Although, if somebody likes puzzles and mazes, it will be interesting for him.

So here is your level rank: (max = 1 point)

1. LEVEL INTEGRITY = 1.0

2. TILESET = 0.5

3. MUSIC = 0.5

4. LEVEL DESIGN = 0.3

5. TECHNICAL DELIBERATION = 1.0

6. TEXTS = 1.0

7. PICKUPS = 0.7
(actually there were no any pickups (almost))

8. EFFECTS = 0.8
(cool thing with: “follow me”)

9. ORIGINALITY = 0.6

10. GENERAL ATMOSPHERE = 0.3
————————————-
1+0.5+0.5+0.3+1+1+0.7+0.8+0.6+0.3=6.7

Now it’s time for making Quake :D

Recommendation for downloading: O-oh YES.

My favourite color is blue. So, this is my favourite CTF level since this moment. Everything is very original and beautyful. Tileset is perfect.
Music is cool. Everything’s cool, man! I liked it very much, especially background layer: this blue
mountain is just like in 3d game! General impression is very remembered. General atmosphere is mystic and
that’s what i appreciate most of all in all levels: existance of own level atmosphere… uh.
:( now about bugs… it seems to be perfect, but: surroundings of warps in tubes should be painted over
with foreground layer, ‘cause it not very good when you see yourself inside the tube. Also i didn’t like one thing:
when I was running on spring and it threw me up into the tube, i didn’t get into it at once, ‘cause i collided with ceiling. I recommend you to put there some suck events to make Jazz get into the tube at once time.
(or do another thing, if you know what.)

So here is your level rank: (max = 1 point)

1. LEVEL INTEGRITY = 1.0

2. TILESET = 1.0

3. MUSIC = 1.0

4. LEVEL DESIGN = 1.0

5. TECHNICAL DELIBERATION = 0.8
(as i’ve already said, it’s due to tube bugs…)

6. TEXTS = 1.0
(by the way, i didn’t understand that text about math teacher…)

7. PICKUPS = 1.0

8. EFFECTS = 1.0

9. ORIGINALITY = 1.0

10. GENERAL ATMOSPHERE = 1.0
————————————-
1+1+1+1+0.8+1+1+1+1+1=9.8~9.7

Why don’t you try to build a singleplayer level with this tileset and this music?

Recommendation for downloading: Curtainly Yes.

Well, it’s the best designed level that i’ve seen among 20 latest at least. It looks powerfull and very interesting.
At first i wanted to decrease the rank due to one thing: when i entered this ctf level in singleplayer mode to look
at design work in general, i couldn’t do it, ‘cause you didn’t put jazzstart event for singleplayer mode, that’s why jazz appeared inside the solid surface and couldn’t move. (it’s more difficult to check out general level design in two-screen mode.) But i think, if it is multiplayer game then let it be multiplayer game, single mode doesn’t play any role in it, right? Although, in future don’t forget to set single player start position. (i had the same problem with my “first and last” battle level:)

So here is your level rank: (max = 1 point)

1. LEVEL INTEGRITY = 0.8
(Distance between two bases is too small)

2. TILESET = 1.0

3. MUSIC = 1.0

4. LEVEL DESIGN = 1.0

5. TECHNICAL DELIBERATION = 1.0

6. TEXTS = 1.0

7. PICKUPS = 1.0

8. EFFECTS = 0.3
(There are no any remembered unique things, maybe just that sleeping leopard or jaguar)

9. ORIGINALITY = 0.6
(Background is well done, though not so unique structure)

10. GENERAL IDEA = 0.5
(Uniting common idea isn’t so visible)
————————————-
0.8+1+1+1+1+1+1+0.3+0.6+0.5=8.2

Cool level!, ninja. I recommend to download it, 100%.

At first, i wasn’t going to write anything about this battle level,
because it doesn’t differ from other battle fields in technical way.
But i always write reviews only if i have something to say. So this
level contains cool atmosphere. Maybe it’s due to good music, but
something in level brings to this atmosphere too, i think it’s dark sky,
wind and rushing lists.
So if somebody wants to play battle level with friends then i advise
him to download it.

The only well made thing in this level is tileset. But battle field itself is rather boring and small. It’s very empty. Surrounding should be more interesting and filled with something. There are should be different things on backgrounds and foregrounds: it will make your levels more interesting.

To EveryOne’s mind:

THIS GAME WAS BUILT BY DESTROY AND BLEED, BOTH ARE AUTHORS, BLEED IS MAIN IDEAS AUTHOR, DESTROY IS MAIN DESIGN AUTHOR. (about 40% of design was built by Bleed)

REVIEW ON REVIEWERS by Destroy and Bleed

We’re disappointed at reviewers of this site. The main your accusation is the profanity. We just want to say that there is no any profanity in add-on “Evil Clones”. It’s better to call it “mature taunts”, but not “profanity”. Through the game pass ideas in the noble and spiritual purposes, and mature taunts are only for fun. There is no need to see bad things where they don’t exist.
For example, you don’t think about the profanity of music art when
you listen to Limp Bizkit:)
We advise you to play the game up to the end at first(without typing in jjnxt-jjnxt-jjnxt in every level) and only then write reviews.

And now about annoying.
We do not agree with reviewer-Superjazz. We built add-on not for
passing through it in one evening. It was conceived not as a level pack but as a real large game, such as Jazz Jackrabbit itself.
I would like to look at your face after your try to pass trough the “Unreal” in one evening, heh.

DESTROY answers on Electric Ir’s review:
Firstly, about level “DIE F..R DIE”:
Didn’t you understand that though you kicked Bolly you died, anyway: this is a plot: “Bubba goes streight to HELL, so you too.” It means that next level: “The Darkening” is hell, so you’re dead, maybe you should think about “HellRiser”, what does this title mean?
Secondly, my “sexual feelings”:
i didn’t mean this, ok? Understand, that i’m a russian dude, so, words like: “Find it and f..k” mean, hmm, …,
“Find it and get some fun” maybe. Or
“F..k him or he’ll f..k you” means:
“Kick him or he’ll kick you”. So my hormones are ok.
Then, about such levels as “Balls Of Evil” and “The Darkening”: You didn’t even pass through the intro of these levels! The Main part is after this intro. These levels, i think, are “ones” of our best levels.
And the last, everywhere you can find texts, where, AS YOU SAY, i call you “f..r” or smth like that, BUT IT IS NOT TRUE: not i, but your enemies(bosses or other bad guys) call you in such way!

DESTROY ANSWERS on Radium’s review:
I just want to say that i’m 18 and i know, my I.Q. is not so low, but what about L.B., i don’t agree, i know the cost to good music.

DESTROY ANSWERS on Superjazz’s review:
1. You’re not so good in playing :P,
i can play through half of the game and stay alife :). PEOPLE, DONT LISTEN TO HIM: IT’s difficult but POSSIBLE!
2. Don’t wait for new levels (so for new taunt), ‘cause if i see this JCS Editor Screen once again, i would have to wash my display from my own vomiting! :D

DESTROY ANSWERS on Violet CLM’s review:
1. That f..r’s name is IVAN ZACHAROV and he’s Devan as well.
2. As in system of cloning people were added evil genes, people became morbid beasts, so it’s not amazing that Turtle has Rabbit in marriage.
3. The text was: “Here lies Spaz, friend of Jazz”, not: “brother”.
4. EVERYBODY, SEE IN ROOT! as reviewers couldn’t, maybe anyone else can?

DESTROY ANSWERS on Fl@$h aka BlewMeUp’s Review:
1. I sure everyone, we didn’t want to use good cartoon heroes as bad guys, for example: using Eva as a whore, or
Devan as a Ivan Zacharov, or caterpillar as the evil Grinch. There is only one reason of such using: we needed to put some ideas into the game, but JJ2 has no any sprites of Grinch, girls for night, or Ivan. So the only decision of the problem was to use these heroes.(by the way, in Jungle Eva plays role of herself, in “A fine day” she is a sheriff and in “Jazz-New-City” she is a whore.)
2. You’re right, maybe such phrases as “Soul of Eternal life is filled with life and darkness”(in “Tree Of Pain”) or “Pray! Never ask why and always be ready to suffer, kid.”(in “Whispers Of Ghosts”) sound stupid in this game; these ideas should be in “sirious”(?)
3-d games, but there was one problem, none of any 3d editors went on my computer(i don’t know why: doom,half-life,quake,duke,unreal etc.), so only jj2 editor went, that’s why we built such sirious game.
3. Didn’t you understand why i hate JCS?
hgh:D, because it takes AAA lot of time to build such large add-on with such large levels, at the end it became SO-O disgusting for me, brrr…
But Editor itself is very good thing!
And it’s not so difficult to find hotkeys: just press “help” button!

DESTROY ANSWERS on Sparky 2002B’s review:

My speed of connection doesn’t allow me to download this file, other people may have the same problems, so try to decrease the size, if it’s possible.
(though i haven’t rights to tell you this, ‘cause my level pack takes 1.4mb:D)
