Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Rooms that are accessible only through warps are generally not a good idea, especially if they are big and you can exit them only through another warp again. People can just camp the warp targets and get plenty of kills.

If you perhaps put holes on the middle left and right the two big rooms wouldn’t be THAT campy, but there would still be a problem, as the entire map just feels cramped. There’s plenty of power ups to go with but in a small map this can result in total chaos. Also it seems the bouncer ammo boxes respawn insanely fast, which only adds up to what I said above. One warp target wasn’t even placed well, as it got me stuck in a wall.

I don’t like the eye candy. The trees in the foreground are quite distracting, it wouldn’t be that way if there wasn’t a whole lot of them. Instead you could’ve experimented with the background and added at least mountains or something.

You used the cave tiles well enough, although it seems you forgot to fix a tile bug. Other than that I don’t see any errors, Diamondus is quite an easy set to use, and it looks good. I think you should continue using this set until you get the hang of making levels.

In the future try making levels that are more open wide. Not that open but take a look at plusSeasons.j2l or Murder of Crows. They use Diamondus too and are quite good.

The +1 carrots at the bottom are a bit campy. To add to it, if you go in there, you can get completely rekt because there is no other way out. The FullNRG carrot in CTF is the easiest JCS trick that generaly works well, so I’d recomend sticking to that trick in your next CTF level.

The teams are balanced when it comes to ammo in my opinion. That’s a good thing, of course.

By the way, it’s barely possible to get to the top carrots as Lori, you need RF to do it. But since you tagged this as a 1.23 level I wont let this ruin my rating.

First of all I’d like to mention how I’m doing a review exchange thingy, so I apoligise to EchoNox for this low rating even though he gave my level a high rating, which I thank him for.

Well first of all, the whole .j2e thing doesnt work for me. I have labrat3 but I dont see why would that be the first level of the episode since:

1. It’s not your level
2. It cycled to another level completely unrelated to this level pack (labrat1n).

Maybe it’s just my problem but I still dont see how to get past it.

Alright, the levels. Not sure how to properly review a single player level since Inever released one and all of my VIP single player levels are gone and they sucked.

Well, the levels are too short. It’s just ordinary lineral gameplay with a bunch of enemies on your way and much more pickups, there are so many pickups I was equiped for the rest of the pack even after level 1.

At least you made another path in level 1 that leads you to a gold coin, so you have to kill enemies on your way, making the gold coin a reward (the bouns warp needs 5 coins). This is a nice start. So, reward the player for going off the main path in future levels somehow.

The boss arenas are too big for bosses that are slow and easy to beat, you should’ve made a lot smaller arenas with maybe hurt events here and there to make the boss fights more instense, but here even the blaster ammo is enough.

Oh and Diamondust and diamondustN are basicly the same level with a diffirent tileset palette, i dont see why would they be in the same episode. Well actually after passing diamondust and cycling to diamondustN it took me a minute to realise i was playing the same level.

The levels dont have any tilebugs it seems, however, they barely have any eyecandy. It’s simply boring, you could’ve at least put something in layer7.

Well this is all I can think of ATM. I dont want to be mean or anything, but it’s just the way it is! Try looking up to some popular single player releases on J2O and find some cool stuff could try to use! No one got a perfect 10 out of their first try! Please dont let this rating stop you from JCSing!
