Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

1.1 Is way to generous.

1/10

Gameplay
Spawn, kill a queen that’s so close to the edge she takes no time at all. Fum over the pit, end level.
1/10

Enemy Placement
Just a boss. That’s it.

Pickups
non so no points.
0/10

Final Score: 3/40
Score: 1
Rank: Z
DR? No. I think you are the one who is the beginner. (I’m really wasting my life writing reviews for years old downloads)

This level was too short, try to make it (much) longer.

and why the next level is a race game??

a 3, because if you made the level longer, it would be more fun

[Negativity edit/review demotion.]

No a beginer

Its A BEGINER

(Unsupported rating (1) removal. ~Violet)

I felt bored so I decided to use random level to review this!

First thing I notice is the backround. Looks pretty cool in 16bit actually, and I have never seen a level with the labrat bg warped before (or dont remember at least). The bg looks horrid in 8bit though, but I dont play in 8bit so ;d.
The author of this level must’ve had an obsession with hooks and spikes or something, cause there are a lot of them in this level. Tile placement is rather bad, reminds me of some of my early levels. At least some parts look alright, and it couldve been a lot worse.
One more thing, why did you include hurt events in battle? =P. Only the server will actually get hurt by them, otherwise they’re just a good way to get your character flashing so you wont get shot by anyone else. And plus there’s like hurt events throughout the entire level, not just one spot.
Ammo placement needs work, and I’m not going to bother going through all the extensive detail and bringing up things like the +15 freezer boxes and the sparcity in the ammo and stuff. Carrot placement also needs work, since you even have a full energy in here. All this is also sealed with a nice, great fact that nothing respawns :D.
Layout is really strange. You’ve got some annoying warps, dead ends, places that are too open, places with random platforms, and places that need one ways. The level also seems to be divided into two halfs. The warp that brings you to the 2nd warp and back is fine, but why do you have that warp that just warps you a few tiles down and left, as well as that tile that I think should’ve had a warp on it or something (17, 20 in JCS, although it has a warp target on it which makes things confusing because not all the blue warp stuff in the level have warps over it cause of that etc blahblah). Music doesn’t really fit the level either. Dunno why I mentioned this now, but it just came up.
As expected, level uses only layers 4 and 8. The gameplay is also very horizontal too. (Farthest down level goes is only 36 tiles, but it stretches up to 180 tiles horizontally. Meaning the bottommost occupied space by a tile is xx,36, and the right-most is 180, xx.
Anyways, this review is pretty much done.I can’t really imagine this taking 12 hours but if you say so alright.
Eyecandy: 4.2
Layout: 4.4
Placement of Stuff: 3
Gameplay: 3.5 (no springs at all too)
Overall (not avrg) 3.7
Final Rating: 3.76 ~ 3.8.
It seems like you are still a beginner at levelmaking, so these levels are acceptable right now. Eventually, if you practise, you’ll get better and will be able to make better stuff. Right now this gets a 3.8 and no download reccomendation, but keep trying!

i’m not that good at making levels but my levels are so better that…..no wait i make real levels like everyone else still you get a 1
(Unsupported rating removal. What makes this so bad? Can you describe the level in more detail than “bad”? ~Violet)

In case of this level I’ll qoute Spotty from Footrix : “Well, that’s kinda sucks.”

***Default points : 6***

This time no tilebugs in BG. But the things are ugly. Entry for level, rollercoaster, arena… you’d make it even worst and call “Castle’s Ruins”, then there’s reason for that ugliness. But no this time.
—1 point erased here—

Gameplay : Just nothing, player need kill some Demons, get warped into warp and kill Schwarzenguard. Dang it.
—1 point disgraced to protoplasmic snail here—

The only events placed here are springs, enemies, and 4 gems. Sux0r.
But there are happily events, though.
—1 point surprisly jumps out of this slot—

The miscellaneous stuff or whatever it’s called, there’s nope. Castle 1 used, castle.j2b used, no original stuff used… NOTHING. Some bricks and foes on them. It’s too little to call it “map”.

And again this bug where Jazz fall to the bootm of level. I delete 2 (yes, u heared it right, two) points for it.
—3 points died ‘coz they’ve seen this level—

Overall -> -> -> 6 – 1 – 1 – 1 – 3 = 0, rounded to 1.

Rank for level : AAARGH!

(BTW, I want to place my system of ranks and ratings, so here is it:

10 – OMG HOLY MOO
9.7/9 – BEST
8.7/8 – SLIGHTLY BELOW BEST
7.7/7.5 – BELOW BEST
7.2/6.5 – ABOVE AVERAGE

[This review has been edited by Cooba]

You used the 0% lighting again…. Come on, I HAVE TO SEE SOMETHING. All of the enemies are in the beginning except the boss. There is one enemy in the mid-part but it doesn’t do anything and you can’t kill it. The eyecandy.. again.. IS AWFUL AWFUL SUXSUXSUX! Again a normal tileset with normal music. Tile problems.. You NEVER use ANY tileset correctly? Your both levels used simple tilesets. They both sucked. If your next level uses Tubelectric and it sucks, I think I am gonna say it again. This beginning review text said it all so just the ratings on the different places are visible. Wee.

EYECANDY – - 1.3

GAMEPLAY – - 4.6

AMMO PLACEMENT – - 1
No ammo! AAHH!

ENEMY PLACEMENT – - 3.4

ORIGINALITY – - 1.5
Like I said on the pumpkin problems review, I rarely review suxes.

2.7! FUN FUN FUN FUN IN THE SUN SUN SUN

I saw the level’s average rating and I decided to read each review. Well, I need to agree with them. This level is now on my recycle bin. Wee. The level maker doesn’t seem to know that swearing is not allowed in here. I saw it in the filename and after killing the boss. The enemy placement is kinda sux. Fat chick and a dog aren’t carrotus stuff. And dragon on top of the pumpkin. Author probably didn’t test this level. You can jump right from the top pumpkin, break the trig crate and go to the boss.
BETATESTERS PLZTNXFUN. This level is more a beta of an average level. And yes, the TILE ERRORS. You made this level in 6 minutes or something? This level is face. Although filesize is suparsmall, if you are downloading it, stop it. Now. Or you are wasting your playtime for downloading this stupid piece of (fake trafton edit). And yes, wee. No next level. FUN >(

GAMEPLAY – - 4.6
If you used the shortcut mentioned earlier, this level is short. You fall down to emptiness if you try to fall. FUN WEE UNLAUGH.

EYECANDY – - 1.4
TILE ERRORS >OOOOO. The level is sux. If you are a foo to download this thing, you probably find out. The starting point is okay, but then it starts suxing. And the 0% light at the cave like thing. THE BACKGROUND TOO… SUX >(

ENEMY/AMMO PLACEMENT – - 5.7
I mixed the enemy placement and ammo placement sections because I mention them both in here. I hate the dragon on the top pumpkin. It is too hard to kill. Because there are only two RF +3 ammo and one +5 health carrot, the level doesn’t have enough. No food even. >(. 5.7

ORIGINALITY – - 2
It’s a basic carrotus level. Carrotus is overused. Music is the default carrotus music. What’s original then? Why 2? Because I rarely review stupid suxlevels. Ha.

AND HOW ABOUT THE ENDING?
It looks like a first level, which shouldn’t be uploaded. DO NOT UPLOAD FIRST LEVELS. ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE PIECE OF (fake trafton edit number 2).
And the text at ending. “Are you a turtle… or a stupid (fake trafton edit 3)”

2.2 YAY YAY >O

_

the eyecandy is in the beginning good! nice background
to. ther ar to many bugs. JeLze told me: wher
ar the bugs if you found. wel… if you play you will
see them and I cant tell them in ONE review.
the ammo and food and gem placed is BAD.
ther ar just 4 gems. and a bossy!
its easy and its not VERY great!

a 3.5

download:no
Host:No

Ðx

PS: Use the tileset wasteland. da man did it do and it is a easy tileset!

Okay I see that you have improved your work, but you still didn’t put anything on lowest part of level!!!!!!!!!!
Grrrrrrrrrrrr
GRRRRR….. Come on just put some tiles there and everybody would be happy :)
I suggest you to put on that lowest parts of level some spikes or secret passages.

The level is short and kind of boring, there are only demons as enemies and there are no goodies or ammo or food.

Come on Jazz is a rabbit and he needs to eat something!

Well this time you didn’t write any vulgar words – bravo!

You didn’t use tileset corectly, on the corners and on end of platforms there are no tiles finishing softly this sides.
OK. Because you have improved your level a bit I will give ya 4.7

Try to spend more time working on your levels and be careful and always use right tilesets, and next time download some tilesets from this site which have a high rating and try to use theme – I suggest to choose some Disguise’s tileset which have a rating at least 8 – his tilesets are great and really easy to use :)

Try to do as I said and I will be happy :)

I will not give a download recomendation.

Oh. I forgot to say that this time you used correctly a background layers.
U showed to us that you want to change to a better level maker – Which is good.

NOKA[This review has been edited by NOKA]

“AAAAaaarrrggghhh, what a level”, I noticed, during the game. Let’s go see what kind of level that is. (PICKUP AND ENEMY PLACEMENT is now STUFF PLACEMENT.)

DESIGN
No design? Just a boss waiting behind some stuff? Miserable.
2/10

EYECANDY
This is also really horrible! The main background has done incorrectly and other layers besides layer 4, didn’t seem to be used. The layer four has at least some eyecandy, but it’s still poor. And I found a lot of tile-placing bugs.
2/10

ORIGINALITY
Well, this is your made, but the tileset is basic. But do you think that I would give an 8 just because it’s your made? No, I don’t judge in the ORIGINALITY-section only the tileset and the level-maker. There also have to be some, eh…It’s hard to explain, but just some kind of stuff. Example if there’s falls where is nothing at the down, isn’t original because the area is always empty. Well, by this case, this couldn’t even get 7. Cuz it even looks like it would be unfinished. It deserves maximum 5, but because music is also basic, only 4.
4/10

GAMEPLAY
The worst! There’s no gameplay here. There is places where you can fall down, and can’t get back. You don’t even die, because there’s nothing. And the level is just way too short. Well, I give a 2 anyways.
2/10

STUFF PLACEMENT
Still poor. There were so less stuff And enemies were in weird places. And what is a fat chick or a doggy dogg doing in carrotus?
2/10

+ OR – EXTRA POINTS

-1 No readme
-1 No difficulty settings
-1 The text in the end, when you’ve beaten the schwartzenguard(or how is it spelled), reads like this: Are you a turtle…or a (fish), Or something like that. It won’t give you any +. Sorry. The level’s filename also shows it again.

OVERALL: 9:5=1.8=1.7
LEVEL RANKING= Poor level
DOWNLOAD RECOMMENDATION: No, I even deleted the level immediately after testing it.

ENDING COMMENTS: Wow! For a long time I see again a sp-level like this. You’re not gonna receive high ratings by that way. You have to be more careful with the tiles, make longer ones, and put always something to under you. I don’t want to fall to the emptiness. It looks unfinished in that case. 9 points is a very small amount of points, since you also got alot of minus-points. It’s only about 20% about that what you could have got. And I think that others here overrated this a bit. Or then I have began to see always so good eyecandy and careful work, that this has been a really miserable thing in my eyes. You have to learn to making them better. Practice! Make levels for practice, but upload those levels, when you think that you’re in the top. Or how could I say that :). I think that I anyways should add a 0.3 to this rating, because it’s xmas, but that would be unfair. Eh, 0.3 more? Well, not this time.

-Superjazz was here[This review has been edited by Superjazz]

First that I’ll describe is that “Pumpkin Problems” is name of first mission in Worms Armageddon. Pretty ripped.
Now about the level:

***Default points : 6***

This isn’t any good. These tilebugs make me so angry when I see them, so that I quickly deleted this trash from my PC. They’re everywhere. Litenante_91, don’t you know that in 8th layer properties is box called “Textured BG”? No layer 7/6 eyecandy. (You wanna to bleed?)
—1,5 points deleted here.—

Next’s gameplay. You crash two crates, kill 7 enemies, get some ammo, be thrown into rollercoaster, and kill Schwarzenguard. (BTW, that thing what Tuffman said shocked me so much that 0,5 points goes to nowhere) And end of level. Tsk tsk.
—2 points removed here (including this word at end)

(…)Placement is just crappy. One Full Energy carrot some RF’s and if player’s lucky something can fall down of that baddies which are seven (not six as Lite written).
—1 point escaped from here—

And tileset use/music/other stuff that makes levels rox0r: I’ve seen hardly any. Level uses Carrottus (of course, Day), not Thermal. Thermal is so easy to get! And looks better. Music is obviously “carrotus.j2b”. And these somethingorother : Nope.
—1 point disappeared from here and probably will never back. Muahaha.—

Overall -> -> -> 6 – 1,5 – 2 – 1 – 1 = 0,5 rounded for 1.

And that moment where rabbit falls and can’t get up. This sux0red.

Rank for level : AAARGH!
Download reccomended(No, it was a joke :P)
[This review has been edited by Cooba]

omg dx do you care about a name :S

Well…It looks like your first level.
my 1st impression about this level was that I thought that this is somebody’s 1st level.

Background isn’t used correctly – that looks REALLY BAD!!! I can’t accept when people are using incorrectly such a simple to use tiles!!!

When I fall down (ofcourse on purpose to see what is placed there) I got stuck because there is nothing!!!!
In this place should be located some spikes or warp or maybe some secret passage full of goodies and food or whatever but not an empty space!!

Level is very short, level isn’t so bad – there are places located logically and even some parts of this level are nice.

Gameplay is a bit better then bad, there are no food or goodies , some places are empty and only somewhere are putted enemies.

You did lots of mistakes in your level, there are almost no eyecandy :(

It would be a 4.0 but because you used vulgar word I will give you 3.7

Come on guys and let’s not use vulgar words in here because very young children might be here and might downloading this stuff :)

I noticed many other bugs in this lvl from 3.7 -3.2

Y4y, another SP release, its time to review:

FIRST IMPRESSIONS:okay, its a very short level, using caarotus tileset. Background is freaking ugly (no offence) and there are some tilebugs. Well, i have seen worse. but lets continue.

EYECANDY:
Hmm, there is not much eyecandy. Just basic tiles of carrotus, caves, some poles. That’s what i remember. Nothing awesome.And there are some tile bugs. Put more eyecandy on your levels. They will get better ratings.
PROS:Well, lets just say that there are worser levels. ;p
CONS: not much of eyecandy, only basic tiles.
RATING: 5/10

TILESET USE:
Okay, lets just say that tileset is rightly used. But, there are tile bugs. look at the background for a good example. Well, i think that this level has basic tileset use.. no more comments.
PROS: basic.
CONS:Tile bugs, pther annoying things.
RATING: 4.5/10

GAMEPLAY:
Well. Gameplay is ok.. but the level is too short. You just have to smash twwo trigger crates, and walk to the cave, soon, you will fall to small room, and you will encouter a schwartzen guard ( hopefully i spended that rgiht, ;p) and kill him. Make longer levels, they’re more fun to play. And gameplay is usually better on long levels. ;p
an ok gameplay,but it is still quite linear, and but could use work. by the way, when i played this and falled down, i noticed, that there were no instant death event in the bottom. the result is that jazz will just stay there, until you use an “JJFLY” code.
PROS:An ok gameplay..
CONS:Short, and linear
RATING: 4.7/5

PLACEMENT:
Okay. First of all, there are enemies, which are averagily placed, and there should be more of them, so level would be harder. ( it was too easy )
There are feew pickups, and there should be more of them too, ;p , so player would get sugar rush in your levels. Anyway, you shouldn’t overuse foods though. Food placement is fine.
Well, i saw no ammo, but level like this is beatable using just regular buttstomp. ;p
But, levels should have always some ammo.. so boss would be bit easier.
PROS:Well, atleast there are events.. ;p
CONS:no ammo, two pickups..
RATING 3/10

DIFFICULTY LEVEL:
Heh. Levels are way too easy. There should be much more enemies, so your levels would be more challenging. This was quite boring to play, since it was so easy ( after all )
PROS: hmm, atleast there is a boss.
CONS: Way too easy..
RATING: 2.7/10

ORIGINALITY:
Hmm, this level is quite original. Level used Epic carrotus set with carrotus music. Quite original. whatever.
PROS:well, quite original.. ;p
CONS:well,i cannot give a perfect score from originality.. ;p
RATING: 5.5/10

FUN FACTOR / REPLAY VALUE:
Hmm, this is extremely boring to play, and i wouldn’t play this again. If you’re really bored, and you want to see something new desperately then you should download this. Ofterwise you shouldn’t, since this is boring. no more comments.
PROS: N/A
CONS: N/A
RATING: N/A

CONCLUSION: .. quite bad, and boring level.. i cannot say more, you should make bigger levels, and put more eyecandy on them.. ;)
RANK: bad level
DOWNLOAD RECOMMEDATIO: no..
RATING:4.5

~The ChaiR (snooz) of [LS]

ok….sorry DX….

i will l8ter review. but
if i fall i cant get up and ther ar manu bugs.
and dont call me Dx DC
just Ðx

Not enough enemies and the level is just way too short, I mean, it’s okay to have a semi-short level but this one is just ridiculous. However, the tileset use wasn’t bad at all, but that barely pulls the rating any higher.

I seem to get a fatal error when I try to run this. It’s an error in the tileset. Oh, well.

Jungle Party? Well I don’t know if “Party” really fits
Well, here’s my review =p

GAMEPLAY/DESIGN:
The gameplay isn’t too much original, you just jump around and shoot some monkeys. There are a few secrets but they are bad designed at all.
PROS: nothing great to mention
CONS: Boring, too short, bad secrets
RATING: 1.2

TILESET/TILESET USE:
The tileset the author used was the jungle thingy from epic. I like that tileset but I don’t like the way the author used it. The background is bad and the foreground wasn’t used very good. Look at level ‘Thriller Gorilla’ and look how Mr Bleszinski made the thingy with the trees, Litenante. I also saw some minor tile bugs.
PROS: okay tileset use (+0.3)
CONS: bad eyecandy (-0.3), foreground layers are used wrong, doesn’t look like a jungle
RATING: 1.2

WEAPON/ITEM/ENEMY PLACEMENT:
The weapon placement wasn’t bad, item placement was. What about coins or gems? Also there has to be MORE food. Man, you are in a jungle, right? The enemy placement was…hm…..okay. The author only used one enemy, the monkey. That’s bad. Good thing is that the monkeys are okay placed I think. Again a bad thing is that there is no easy/normal/hard setting. Set more food on easy mode and more baddys on hard!
PROS: okay enemy/ammo placement (+0.5)
CONS: no easy/normal/hard settings
(-0.2), too less items (-0.3)
RATING: 1.2

REPLAY/FUN FACTOR/ORIGINALITY:
I don’t feel like replaying this, most because it’s too short and easy. There isn’t really fun and we can’t talk about originality. Bad
PROS: Nothing to mention
CONS: no replay value, no fun factor, no originality
RATING: 1.2

OVERALL (not an average):
Overall it’s (sorry) very bad. It has no eyecandy, isn’t original, too easy and don’t makes fun. Sorry, but this was bad. Practise much more before you upload a level. I will give +1.0 for effort.
PROS: okay ammo placement (+0.3)
CONS: Look up (-0.3)

Here I got some tips from Jazz2 Level Designer Cliff Bleszinksi. You can also read them in the JCS faq.

1. Look Out Below!
Never let people fall on enemies they can’t see below them.

2. Make ‘em Work!
Make people jump for items, or shoot crates. A little bit of effort should be required to collect stuff instead of just running through it.

3. ARGH!!!!
Set up cool situations where you get bounced all around and you can’t control where you’re going. This is both wacky and fun.

4. Let Them Live!
Never teach the player how to play by killing them. Always give the player a chance to figure things out without dying.

5. SHOOT THE BLOCKS!
Destroyable scenery is your friend. People seem to love shooting those exploadable cubes, and you can set
up great puzzles with ammo-based blocks.

6. What Do I Do?!?
Leave clues to most secrets. If you have a butt stomp gem secret put it between two decorative tiles so people just might try stomping there. Otherwise no-one will find you secrets!

7. Keep the Party Going!
For Party Mode levels, make sure and keep the level “circular”. That is, a player can easily zip around anywhere in the level without encountering any dead ends and having to backtrack.

8. USE VARIETY!
Alternate the scenery! Don’t keep the player entirely inside or outside, use a nice variety of all types of scenery in the tileset.

9. I Can’t See!
Dramatic lighting is great, but don’t leave the player in a dark area without a clue as to where to go. This is frustrating!

10. TEST YOUR LEVELS!
Playtest your levels, and have others playtest them! Sit someone down, have them play through your level, and don’t tell them anything. You’ll be surprised by the results.

Also look at the article “Creating singleplayer episodes” from Ninja Dodo.

So there’s nothing more I can do for you.

PHT

Edit NR1: Which error Labratkid? I had no problems to run this and the tileset is the standard jungle thingy, why should there be an error?[This review has been edited by PHT]
