Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

well, there is my level tutorial (it’s on this site, so if u really want it, u’ll find it) and there’s diguise’s level building site (think it was www13.brinkster.com/disguise).. and then there is disguise’s tileset tutorial (under articles) on j2o.. look around on www.jazz2city.com for more..

i don’t think there be a shortage.. ;)

I agree :)

(Except I’ve spent weeks on levels and only gotten 6-7 ;) )

Uh, seems like KJAZZ is flooding J2O with all levels he/she ever made. I don’t know if thats a good idea.
However, this level is not the worst of them.
Apart from the spelling error in the filename (“Anicent”!?) most other parts in this level make it seem like it was made in a hurry. There are way too many savepoints and therefore its too easy and also too short.
The design is not that bad, but there are the usual tile placement/layer mistakes: for example: if you use a fore layer to hide Jazz you need to mask everything around it, too, to make Jazz hide completely).
The level uses the pretty good “fantasy world” tileset by “The Killer”.
Conclusion: there are some nice puzzles and ideas but it still not enough to be average (high 4 points!).

NOTE: As Fquist already mentioned…you need to spend lots of hours and hours to make something good that will get a average rating higher than 5 here. Please, think about that!

No I really need some good tips to make
my levels better, besides just making them longer.

Thanx

I have one: Spend a lot of time on your levels.

Nyah. :)

Is Aiko the only one who downloads my levels? I want more reviews guys!

Note: These levels were made a while ago, and I am currently making a good new level.

Do you have any level making
tips/strategies?
Thanks!

Okay, okay: maybe the creator of this level tried his best. Unfortunately, it didn’t succeed. Unfinished tile placement all around (use layers!), useless powerups and too easy but pretty confusing "challenges". Besides, MEZ01 is easy too use and the music is cheap. Not worth the download, diskspace and webspace in MY opinion.
Would be cool, if you, KJAZZ, could spend more time on your levels (believe me, even one single level needs hours and hours) and if you made A REAL GOOD ONE, post it here. Thank you!

Indeed, only “true fans” of the TV series will like this. The “Springfield” level uses a custom tileset called “Carnival 2” (which isn’t very good IMO) and has a hotel like layout (many warps and stuff). Again, there is both, bad tile and event placement throughout the level.
Besides, i’m neither fan of the Simpsons nor of hotel levels. So it’s only three points here and i can NOT give a download recommendation here.

P.S.:
The background music is not included but i had it anyways and its just a bunch of Simpsons samples (no melody).

I wanted to add that, because of file
size, i could not include the music.
Also that the “true fans” refers to the simpsons.

On a last note, this level was made
a while ago, and so I haven’t added
the new techniques I learned.

So why did you post it then at all? Waste of webspace!
The author is right, his level is not really a Top 10 level. It uses a rather interesting Yoshi (Japanese console hero as far as i know) tileset but the tile & event/enemy placement is wrong or bad in most areas. Also, it’s way too short and easy for a single player level, sorry.
However, the author should really go on making levels and if he thinks they are good, he should post them here.
