Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

It’s a pretty good level though there were tile glitches that I couldn’t help noticing. Layer 8 for example didn’t work properly. A simple solution for that is to make a copy of the original Hell level and delete the content with the exception of layer 8. Though as I played the level I think it might have been just laziness instead of incompetence. The shootable iceblocks for example turn into paths instead of disappearing. Also I noticed a few times that you left bits of tiles on layer 1 and certain tiles were missing from layer 4 though none had importance. Maybe you didn’t notice or something.
Luckily the level itself and the gameplay made it an enjoyable level. The path divided a few times made it harder to collect everything(this isn’t a con). There were some secrets, though i rather found alternative routes which led to dead ends and a bunch of goodies. Not really secrets but there surely are players who don’t check it. Difficulty was average, bit tougher at certain places. This is also one of the levels that remind me of the original ones. The level worked well except for the iceblocks.

In my opinion it ended up as a good level, thanks to the gameplay and the level design (where it didn’t have tilebugs) so I can say that downloading it won’t do any bad.

wow is something wrong with this:

Rating The Underwater Caves

RATING ENEMIES: On good chosen places I have found enemies. Crabs and fishes… but I have never seen a dragonfly on a real beach……..
RATING: 8.3

RATING MUSIC: It’s classic Jazz 2 music… that’s a pity… but this water-music is better than nothing.
RATING: 5½

RATING TILESET: It’s a classic Jazz 2 tileset… a pity…
RATING: 4.0

RATING FUN: This level is a whole maze… sooooooooooooooo fun! It took me a very long time to find the exit!
RATING: 9.1

RATING GAMEPLAY: See the last four parts for the reason of this rating.
RATING: 6.7

RATING UTERUS: I was so afraid that this level has a Uterus, but no! This level is Uterus-free!
RATING: 10.0

FINAL RATING: 8.7

I enjoyed playing this pack much and that’s important. Big levels, great eyecandy … if someone likes original episodes should try this one. Pack uses only original tileset and music, probably that’s why Bjossi concentrated on leveldesign. It isn’t perfect but near perfection and since many worse levelpacks have better ratings I give 9.5. This pack really deserves it.

Gameplay
Ok, here’s the deal. Some lab animals have broken out, it is your job to eleminate them, or anihalate, whatever you like. You must solve some puzzles, which are hidden quite good. The boss gave it a nice touch, for a lava level. I enjoyed playing, and I hope others will too.

Eyecandy
The eyecandy was really good. Almost every spot is covered with an iron block, or some background walls. It looked very nice, and there were no tilebugs either.

Creativity
The story was quite creative, for as far as I could read. (Please make 3 @‘s before entering the actual text, or else it might be blocked by HP, score, boss HP, etc.) The puzzles weren’t that creative. You have to find a crate to lift a big box, that sorta stuff. Ever tried lever triggers? It is a bit hard, but there is a good article on J2O to learn it. (Took me about a week before it worked…)

Originality
I like the story, which is the most original from this whole level. For a single-single player level, it has quite original events, like when the teleporter broke, you must find a way around. It took me very long before I discovered that one… Pfew… Nope, it was quite original to me!

Overall
If you like puzzles and plain old shooting action, you’d better download and review this one.

Sure… I downloaded it too! :P

Starting Comments:

I was betatesting this level, but I guess I manage to make the review unbiased.

Played with: Lori
On difficulty: Medium
Playing time: N/A*

*As I betatested it, I already knew were most of the stuff was, thus playing time was shorter than usual.

Playability:

Very hard level, which is a good thing. I like hard levels. This one has very good enemy placement, nice puzzles and good item placement. The enemies are hard to avoid, but never unfair. There are also a few puzzles, which gives a nice change of pace and makes it more enjoyable.

Score: 8.0

Balance:

Hard as heck, great! I love the way the enemies are placed. A great improvement compared to the author’s last pack, which was fairly easy.

Score: 8.0

Creativity:

Not the most creative level I’ve ever seen, but the author did a nice job. The puzzles were quiet good, and some other stuff was done very well too. I like the way the level is in Nick Stadler style while still being different.

Score: 7.7

Eyecandy:

The eyecandy was OK. The sprite layer eyecandy was quite nice, the background could’ve had some more stuff. There are no tilebugs though, which is good. Overall the eyecandy is good enough for me.

Score: 7.0

Story:

This time the author even included a little story. It isn’t all around great, but it helps to make the level have a bit sense.

Score: 7.0

Overall:

Very good level with great enemy placement and good puzzles. It’s not perfect, but surely worth a download.

Overall Score: 8.0

Download Reccommendation: Yes

Well, nobody has reviewed this pack so far, so I’ll do my best and write a little bit about it.

Played with: Spaz
Difficulty mode: Medium
Playing time: 1 hour and 30 minutes

Playability:
Most levels in the pack are pretty basic. You run around, shoot enemies, collect goodies and way too much ammo, and somehow find the exit. A storyline or some original stuff would make playbility much better. A little break is the diamondus level, which has lots of witches, which were fun to beat. Rating: 6.2*

Creativity:
Creativity is where the pack fails. Like described in the playbility part, there’s hardly anything which stands out in memory, nothing really creative. What about including some puzzles for example? Would be much more fun then. Or maybe a special arena for boss fights, a story line, whatever?
Rating: 3.0

Balance:
All levels, excluding the Diamondus level, were too easy, mainly because enemies were not used strategically and there were no puzzles. The difficulty should be boosted a lot, by using the enemies in places where they have an advantage. For example, flying enemies like bats or ravens can get through walls, while Jazz can’t. That can easily be used to their advantage, making it more difficult and challenging.
Score: 5.0

Eyecandy:
The eyecandy needs to be drastically improved imo. Most levels have tilebugs and too less eyecandy. Do something original, infact, make it look different than the standard levels + make it look good.
Score: 6.0**

Fun Factor***:
It may sounded like this pack was really bad, but well, it’s not that horrible. Some of the levels, especially level 8, my favourite one were pretty fun, and if you’re a fan of lots of ammo and enemies, you’ll like this. If the eyecandy is made better, a few unusual things get added, and the difficulty gets boosted the pack will be pretty fun, so I’ll give it a 6.0 for now.
Score: 6.0

Overall:
I’ll give the pack a 5 for now, as I guess it took very long to build it. Still there are several things which need to be improved, remember, BE CREATIVE! Once your stuff is different than other’s stuff, it will get much more enjoyable to play. Good luck!

PS: Feel free to contact me for more help, betatesting or whatever.

-PHT

EDIT: I’m not sure about download reccommendation, so I’ll check N/A.

EDIT 2: Be careful to use less ammo next time. ;-)

EDIT 3:

• The rating for Playability was raised to a 6.2, because it seems I have counted to much on the non-existing story, which the author planned not to make.

** The eyecandy rating was increased to 6.0, because the author has bad vision and therefore the tilebugs are not his fault.

*** Due to the complains of some people I’ve rated Fun Factor instead of Story, which increases the overall rating a 6.2

Good levels.
I really like this
+0.5 for original tilesets.

Is this a short review now???!

I think you didn´t look at my previously released levels.

I said there that I have an eyevirus that makes it harder for me to see bugs. Blue as an editing background in the editor makes it as hell for me to see bugs, for example.

Before I released this pack, didn´t you think I looked for all possible bugs in sprite and background layers? Of course I did, but I just don´t see 25% of them because of my terrible vision.

Hmmm, this had a high rating, and i thought this would be really good episode. ok, let’s see was it really.

DESIGN
I didn’t see any texts during the game, but that doesn’t yet matter very much. These also seemed to be for fun, but there’s a destination to get to Bilsy and kill him. Well I can give it a 6
6/10

EYECANDY
Eyecandy was good and there’s quite alot about it. Background also seemed to be quite custom, so well done!
But, I saw quite much eyecandy-bugs in levels. Like minimum 2 bugs in each level, so this is only 8. So, next time watch that, which tiles are you placing and where.
8/10

ORIGINALITY
Basic musics, tilesets and own made levels. Good! 8 again.
8/10

GAMEPLAY
Huh? Short? No, I don’t think so. This episode wasn’t huge but levels were enough long, so it was nice to play :D. But it’s rather too easy.
8/10

PICKUP AND ENEMY PLACEMENT
Hmmm, I agree some with labratkid that Food should be included in some easier places. Enemy placement is good.
7/10

+ OR – EXTRA POINTS

+1 Good readme-file but should be named other
-1 There is difficulty settings but only very very few when I checked one of your levels from jcs

OVERALL 37:5=7.4=7.5
LEVEL RANK: Medium level
DOWNLOAD RECOMMENDATION: Yes.

ENDING COMMENTS:
Yea, this didn’t seem to be overrated, but I just didn’t like about this level so much than the others did. I saw so many eyecandy bugs, and it’s so easy, too much carrots, etc. Well, 7.5 is anyway a good rating. You also, remember my reminds, like watch which tile are you placing and where. Nice job!

-Superjazz was here

It´s a long time ago but here are answers:

Q: Where´s the level?
A: Open it from the file in the ZIP and unlock it yourself in the Level Properties.

Tip: Almost no eyecandy.
A: Would it be realistic to put a sunken ship above the water surface. ;)

Tip: Small eyecandy and tile bugs.
A: I got an eyevirus.

KRSplat: Are you lowering the rate by 2.5 because of few tile bugs!?

I can imagine what you give beginners then. ;)

Well here is my review.

Eyecandy:
Wow!!! The eyecandy is really good no ugly thing everyware great.

Enemy placement:
really great!!! Enough enemy`s to keep it fun. You see enemy`s like dragons,tuf turtle,norm turtle and bats.

Item placement:
Perfect!!! i love it enough ammo like bouncers with powerup freezers with powerup and seekers with no powerup.
in the level you also find some gems and food o and coins. In the level there are much carrots a little bit to much.

Others:
a dream!!! The level has secrets a shop a boss and it`s a big level.

I love it here is your /8.5\

Great, I’ve nothing to say left surely, but this is one of the greatest Sp made. Lol.

Im too lazy to write long review so ill just say this:

this is very good

Rating:8.2 AND Download recommedation

Hey, I couldn’t find the level from the list. I check the level and see that the level is hidden in the home cooked level list. Though this level belongs to an episode, but then you should upload all the levels in one pack. I couldn’t know that this level belongs to an episode. I just think that it’s just an independent level becuz there’s only one level in the zip.

Its a good level and very long!

the good things:
Good enemy placement
good weapon placement
good food placement
A long level whit several secrets

The BAD things:
I couldnt find it in the coocked level list and the game crash after reaching the exit
Almost no eyecandy

Download rec. Yes

Wow! good beach level. hard and very funny. Fianl rating from me 8.2!

gøød luck with yor second level

I tend to rate beach levels lower because I just don’t like ‘em. Anyway, this level is very, very long, hard, and fun. The eyecandy in the background in minimal, though. Download reccomendation.

Oh, there was a background problem, BTW. But if I squinted, I could barely see it, so it’s okay that you couldn’t.[This review has been edited by labratkid]

Okay, for some reason, instead of “background problem” I said “backgroung.” WTH.[This review has been edited by labratkid]

This is Great,Plenty of EyeCandy too.I rate this with a 8.5
