Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Enjoyable.

TILESET/EYECANDY

Level (you guessed it) uses Jungle (2) Tileset by Nick Stadler or whoever. BG is stolen from standard Jungle 2 Level. It looks nice though. But layer 4 isn’t so rich in case of eyecandy. Add more plants (too less of ‘em), it’ll looks better. Like real jungle.

PROS : Nice BG (although stolen), no tilebugs

CONS : Too less of it on layer 4

GAMEPLAY

Aww, it is nice. Jazz and Spaz has a brand other ways, a maze, and other. And some funny stuff like “destroy correct crate”. They’re and they would be fun forever (I placed a TNT nearby of ‘em and they blow up. Wow, I’m so snare). I guess that they would meet somewhere (Jazz & Spaz), but I’m too lazy to look. And of course a boss at end. Bilsy has a too narrow arena, and ALL of the blocks under him should be stompable (to make it a bit of challenge). I bet him easily ‘coz he’s easy as heck when you found out this buttstomp trick (When you’re floating in air before buttstomping, any bullet can’t hurt you – Bilsy’s fireballs also).

PROS : Awesome gameplay, not boring
CONS : Bilsy has tiny arena

– 19 points out of 20 –

EVENTING

Hmm. Placement of goodies is good. Not too much, and they’re fitting to Jungle level (fruits instead of meat and cakes). There’s a bit too many of ammo, as well of foes. They’re all in original places, but they’re a bit overused. O, a coin warp. But it’s a weird thing that when playing Jazz I get 21 coins, while Spaz get ‘em just 15. Hmm. Maybe I’m lazy to finding secrets, or it’s just Jazz biasing. I don’t know exactly.

PROS : Good placed and fitting food

CONS : Overused ammo and foes

– 15 points out of 20 –

MISC. STUFF

Level is a mediocre in case of length. It’s not too big and not too small. Good. Spaz starts level in a dark room, while Jazz isn’t. He should. There’s not much of a different changes like other music, or something. It’s nice though. O, a water. But it’s appear for just few seconds. I think that it’s useless in this level, but there’s nothing wrong with placing it. And you misspelled Doodle. Lol.

PROS : Water, level’s not too short

CONS :Jazz starts with completely light unlike Spaz, all things are basic, misspelled name

Okay, without boring speaking, I’ll go onto review.

***Default points : 6***

EYECANDY
This yux0riffic layer 6 bug is now changed. How nice. Although, tilebugs in layer 4 exist. How boo. Many cavern tiles used. But you should use Environment/Lighting/Set Light event to make it the real dark cavern. The bustable carrot at beginning should be hanging from ground above rabbit, not growing from ground below rabbit. After shooting this Yummy Vitamin C resource obstacle some orange thingies stays in ground. You know tile under last bustable tile…

PROS : Major layer 6th bug removed, caves
CONS : Layer 4 tilebugs
If tilebugs from fourth layer will removed, I’ll raise rating.
—0.5 point—

GAMEPLAY
Beep. Level is a sort of short. While it’s long to finish it at all, level is small. And it’s Spaz bIased as Dx writed. But not so bIased as in previous version of level.
Level includes a funny stuff, like the rollercoaster maze (enter cavern) and annoying Froggymnastik. However, I quickly passed over the springs there ‘coz I train in my old lev Toad Trouble. Yeah, it was challenge (did you know that frogs can slowly fly?). But back into topic, it’s a bit too less of ‘em.

PROS : Underused thingies, Spaz bIasing reduced
CONS : Small
++0.5 points++

EVENTING
Nice. At beginning where rabbit must get hurt to go, there’s a carrot nearby. Also good food and gems placed. However, there’s not too much of them. But ammo is a other thing. Yay, nearby beginning, there’s a Bouncer Powerup and Bouncer Crate (with 15 bullets more, but they’re not bullets as Jazz may trag). AARG. And boss is too easy with all this munitions. Nearby arena there’s a 20$ coin warp with many food and… you guessed it, bullets >p
Baddies – many. Mainly Tuffs and Lizards, but also Dragons and Bats. They doesn’t fits together too much, unfortunately.

PROS : Plenty of ammo and carrots, good enemy placed
CONS : Too less of food and gems, easy boss (Schwarzenguard)
++1 point (wee, a full point added)++

TILESET AND IT’S STUFF
Carrottus. Day. It’s, as far as I know probably ninth or eighth level using Carrotus Day from December to today. Music – carrotus.j2b. Don’t you think that time for some differents is comed? Replace music with some funky stuff, type for funck-2.mod. Yayayayay. And use Carrottus 1 Night. Yea, I know that their animations doesn’t fit as well, but it shouldn’t be a problem.

PROS : Ow.
CONS : Ow ow ow.

Misc stuff that doesn’t effect on rating

DX, Overlord made that Schwarzenguard is a helper for main boss. Violet just upgraded it. And BTW, she never wouldn’t upgraded it if she’ll not played Hocus Pocus. So thanks should be for Apogee.

Tuff doesn’t sux. Tweedle sux.

Carrottus has two “t” instead of one. Bwhahaha.

Edit LOLOL : It’s because that these things are overused. Lev’s are better when they’re different that other. And if you don’t want my rating for it, there’s no rating :P

[This review has been edited by Cooba]

Warning? Oops.

***Default points : 6***

Eyecandy is a sort of good. Mega Megatropolis is a VERY limiting tileset in case of eyecandy. LOL Disguise. Some things would have been nice (yay, first time I agree with LaB). The color of BG doesn’t match with the lighting in level.
++1 point added here++

Gameplay isn’t so nice. The flow makes it. Yes, that is a sux0r part of level. And not too much fun factor in it. Yep, I just didn’t like this level. But the layout is ok, though.
—Half of point explodes here—

Placement is rather bad. Blue Team is a sort of biased ‘coz the Super Carrot and RF Powerups. Blur has right. However, ammo placement is very good. Generally it’s a sort of average. You know : This bad and this good. Effect : 0 points.
NOPE

Yep, lava’s hot, we all know found out it in Hot as Well… :P

***Default points : 6***

Eyecandy shocked me. It is really strong point of level, but it’s A BIT boring. This black BG from Fifty Feeds Laterstill is black. The second lava generator, on bottom, looks great with these 1ups.
++1 point wishes you Happy 2004++

Gameplay is very nice, many of springs, and sometimes you must have a fall down, and you don’t know where you’ll fall. Maybe on the ammo box.. or on head of enemy sniper. But no sucky tubes. And no bugs also.
++1 point awakes from dream here++

Placement of events is good, very good. Ammo is placed on original places, Full Energy Carrot placed in middle of level. Not too much powerups like in FFL. Generally, good. BUT, WAIT! HERE’S A THING THAT WE SHOULD TALK ABOUT IT!!

Shield?! Oh, shi… eld! It ruins the gameplay! However, it’s some tricky to get the Fire Shield. Get the EB and shoot it at wall. It should fly through wall and destroy the shield. But there still is a shield, tricky or not tricky to get. BAD DX.
—1 point get killed by Agent Cooba when he’s using this sucky shield—

The only original thing is that shield trick, everything other isn’t so original. I’m saying about items that you CAN get.
Music – Ctrl.Alt.Terminate (Ctrl_alt.xm) fits as well. Hahaha.

Foo.

***Default points : 6***

Eyecandy is basic, but looks good. However, you should use something different. Look for Blur’s “Green Vine Forest”. The rain is repetitive. And this blue spring which allows blue player to leave red zone is disguised by layer 3. And it looks UGLY.
—1 points drowns int the swamps here—

Size – 256×64, which just 1/6 is used. Level is really for 4 players or more, or it’ll be B°ring. Events are placed average. Red Base looks like hanging in air. Ammo is scarce, but it’s enough for 4 players. Generally, average.
POINTS NO ADDED OR DELETED

Tileset – Agama’s Swamps Evening. Oh yep, Spazie has written about it. It’s not used very well, but it’s your 1ste level with it. But music… spews … yuck. I think that the “Hell freezes over” (freeze.j2b) should be here instead of this.. spews again

Fist of all : IT IS NOT BEACH, BUT CARROTTUS. Blah Carrottus.

***Default points : 6***

Eyecandy isn’t worst, but it’s bad though. The Carrottus 1 tileset maybe is a bit hard, but there’s a lot lot of a tilebugs. Use Layer 5 or 3. BG Textured. But no 7/6 layers used.
—1 point rushes to exit—

Hmm, this race is pretty long. Every lap is a long routes connected by warps.
I’ll write about all of ‘em :

I. Standard route with ups and downs, with a looong jump challenge, and with carrot field. Unfortunately, I’ve fall between two of them with Spaz and I’ve problem with getting out. But I finally escaped from there. If Spaz has a trouble with jumping, it means that Jazz can’t jump over it :P
II. A way down with warps teleporting to top of this falltrack.
III. Springy way with a TNT and many walls (bustable).
IV. Way downstairs with the same obstacles as in II, but ended with some poles, and pumpkins supposed to be a object on which player must lands when jumps.
V. The carrot maze.
VI. Long road with ammo and funny letters below.

Original. But after third lap slowly gets boring.
++1 point wins the race to this slot of review++

~~MISC.STUFF~~
Tileset use : Author used Carrottus even good, but the eyecandy is terrible.
Carrottus is OVERUSED.Don’t use overused tilesets.
Music : Fast Track (fastrack.j2b). Fits. But nothing new.

***Default points : 6***

Eyecandy is strange. This fence makes it. And, these black pixels moves along red cloud. But it’s Dethman’s fault. Mystic Legends LOLOL. Layer 4 is used very well. Some stars should be on sky, though.
++1 point zips here++

Ouch. Map is a bit too small. However, if you want to host the InstaGib, this level is ideal. Placement of goodies, items, objects, boosters stuff is above average. Fifty Feeds Later – all of ammo that you need!. But back into topic, it’s a bit too much powerups. It’s good having the all of ammo types and using ‘em on small battlefield. And coin warp. They makes level more good ~DX :D Generally, good.
++1.5 points beep beeps here++

Gameplay : Ouch. It’s good for duel, but not for 4playered match. ICK. As I’ve said, small. Good or bad for Instant Gib, it still small room.

***Default points : 6***

Eyecandy is fairly good. These ground-like tiles in background, the color of the TXTured BG, and layer 3 used not only for secrets. I’ve not see tilebugs. Well done.
++1 point boingboings here++

Next’s gameplay. Yep, it’s too small. But there are two alternate routes to opponent’s base. It’ll be ideal for InstaGib, when hosted for Battle. Every CTF can be Battle, any Battle can’t be CTF. It is supposed to be a duel CTF, I think.
—0.5 points explodes along the fireworks—

Placements of objects, goodies, items, and generally events : Wow. Any team isn’t biased. The ammo is placed in the central point of level. And bases are placed at bottom, on two opposite ends of corridoor. No shields. But also no coin warp. Next time place a coin wrap they make level more good ~Dx. Hahah. He has right. Placement is generally above average, though.
++1 point is now inside the review++

And tileset use/music/other stuff that makes levels rox0r: Level uses Disguise’s Space Warbase tileset. Use of it ruxored. Really. Music – orion.xm- adds a gloomy mood for this level. chills. This OSTMLR or whatever : aargh, nope. These are stuff that makes levels non-rox0r. And these are:

1st level is your “Lava Time”, with just Carrottus 1 Tileset, and other music.

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.

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”.

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.

Even good. It has snowy ground (‘coz it’s Christmas), grassy ground, ice, stuff for layer 7, background with some animates, interactive tiles and eyecandy ones, author’s sign. Quality is slightly above average. Now I’m going to say that this tileset has just 63 usable tiles. TOO SMALL. And snow doesn’t work. You should made snow for layer 1. Example level doesn’t shows features of this level. And there are many features :P

I’ll no rate ‘coz it’ll be a low rating. Merry Xmas for all!

DX, maybe it’s bad tileset and you could rate it at 6. But then why you rate good levels saying “nice” and place also 6? Confusing :/

I wasn’t reviewed example lev. I just say that it doesn’t shows many of tiles’ features.
[This review has been edited by Cooba]

Beep beep! Link broken! beeps away

BLAH CARROTTUS

Level is alluring, these mysterious music and layout. About the BG, the idea with blinking black is innovation, but the light blue blocks (probably water)that appears sometimes, looks like CRAP. Also too less eyecandy tiles. So some points get removed.

Originality – sometimes yep. The moment with cats and and the Coin Bunny aka Bonus Bunny. Cats appears from nowhere, teleports you to other locations, hang you to the way up and open doors. BTW I wasn’t opened door at start due to I can’t get the pumpkin. Pity. Coin Bunny send you to cavern, which is actually filled with Tuffs (is it a cruelity of Bonus Bunny, or just he forgot?). What the Bonus Bunnies does. A strong point of this level.

Music – fits. No comments more.

Level is interesting but I am sad that level finishes too fast. Not that it’s too short. I’ve just a some fun hunger. Yep, that’s a stoopid name. Tisk tisk.

No death pits as in other levels. So I am happy. (But you did rip that strange sign that makes text a more narrow by the way :P) So happy that I give you extra point.

———————————-

Your levels become more cool, DX. If a Tempel Episode II (you’re always spelling Temple bad) is done with levels like this or better I’ll give it a 9. Or even 10. You didn’t never receive a deserved 10, huh? So prepare for bitnumber strike. Hahahahahahaha.

War Torn Night is created by Toxic Bunny, actually.

AAH! Totally Insane Music Makers strikes
back! hides

Speed – too slow. In beginning I\‘ve not idea is that Technoir. It\‘s slow like Tuff when 80 yers old. Bad. Although, if you want to listen Technoir more longer, you\‘ll like that.

Special effects – many of them. ONE THING – some are ripped from Worms World Party (or Armageddon), type for Minigun\‘s shot, Air Strike or Bazooka Missile launch. (By the way, this fits to Labratkid\‘s Earthworm World. So you are lucky. And Labratkid, it can be used in JJ2. So :P). There are also echo for voice that says : \“Jackrabbit\”, explosions and these hard-rock thingies.

Overall (Yes it is all) Nice effects, but it\‘s very slow, though.

Rank of Music : Above Average

Use it : If you want

PS : JSZ Jazz, pospieszcie siê z t¹ wasz¹ stron¹, jesteœcie wolniejsi ni¿ ta piosenka :P

Another race of DX. After Unamed Race I think that any race can’t beat it. And here’s better one than Unamed Race, the Win or Lose!

Level itself is original with these moving platforms. And, 007 posted that some things are for test, and I agree absolutely. Type for pit. But no pity (?), only one mistake.

MEZ01. Just MEZ01 from probably 1999 or even earlier. But here’s a good example of good-looking MEZ01 level. QoB sucks!

Music is choosen very well. No more writing about this because it is excellent.

One thing before end : races are cool, but 5 laps in the same scenery are boring. Try to solve it. If you can’t, send me a message.

Overall : this level is just necessary for people that are :

So – nice level.

A 8 for you :P

Because it’s just a race with the same blocks I didn’t rate it for a 8.5 :p[This review has been edited by Cooba]

Hahahah… evil reviewer comes back :P

First thing, you’ve used Diamondus 1 that is overused tileset as heck. it means that on all of the world is probably lot of them. See my article.

Level is just a dark cave. Things were made good, but I’ve stuck that Spaz can’t jump on the platform, and that means that lower-jumping Jazz can’t also. But it’s only simply bug.
No points here.

There’s too less goodies. Some gems, TNT, and Toaster. Not food. Confusing.
Next time place them more. The same thing with secrets, which there’s not in here! Why? Maybe you don’t know how to use layer 3…
-0.5 points here.

Enemies were repetive, just turtles and beehives and sometimes skeleton. Why? Level is gloomy and Demons, Doggy-Dogs, Rapiers, even Witch fits here. Try again.
-1 point here.

Tileset use : As i mentioned that Diamondus is 2nd of most overused tilesets. But back into topic, I’ve not saw tilebugs. Only there’s less of animations and less of animations makes me angry. There should be some plants type for “window” encovered with plants. Too less eyecandy tiles. Aargh.
-0.5 points here.

And finally music choice. Orbitus. Well done. Her fits also standard JJ1 Diamondus, Turtemple, and (believe or not), my favourite, Battleships. But no pity.
+1 point here.

Overall : 7 – 0.5 – 1 – 0.5 + 1 = 6

Six points to be exact.

DX overrated!

Sorry Dago

PHT thanks[This review has been edited by Cooba]

Haha, a tileset season.

Ceramicus is my worst planet also (dziwny zbieg okolicznoœci), and I still cannot believe that it is possible. Just it can’t be!

Every lost tiles in CeIL’s are here, type for sucker-tubes, vines and other stuff. Also You’ve added thingies for layers! And these windows are coolerskie also :D

Yeah, the night version of Diamondus were too bright. And this isn’t. CBVS Rocks.

Even better.

Your levels are sometimes rises, and sometimes falls. Sorry but this level is FALL.

Default Point Level:6

Eyecandy extra points:
BAD. This black board on bottom makes level just ugly. – 0,5 p. Also collapsing scenery at end isn’t very high quality. – 0,5 p.
In BG layers you may see high dunes. And where’s famous Sun of Deserto?

Overall = -1 p.

Gameplay extra points:
That black board means death from BlurredD’s levels, it isn’t surprise. Your levels become “I-KNOW-WHAT’S-IN-HERE-BECAUSE-I’VE-SEEN-THIS-IN-MANY OTHER-LEVELS-OF-THIS-AUTHOR-:P” -0,5p.
I cannot enter some parts of level without cheating, f.x.: wall few-yards right of green spring. -0,5 p.
And finally boss. Arena is FULL of spikes that means DON’T TOUCH.Interesting. But Bilsy (boo) sometimes appear behind right wall of screen so you can shoot he only with bouncer. Personally I want to Bilsy stays behind this wall forever, but I must be objective in reviewing. Sorry. 0p.

Overall = -1p.

Music and other cool stuff neccessary to make levels good like RHG extra points:

Music is choosen even good, but it sounds overused (another article is incoming). I don’t like original Deserto tune, though. +1 p.
Other stuff blablabla is things like tileset use, originality and else. So, tileset is good, but you’re not first person that want to building with this(Deserto Traps will be a test level). +1p. Originality – see PHT’s review in “Monkey Lab” :P :B :D -1 p. And else: ee.. never mind :/

Overall: +1.p

OVERALL OF.. OVERALLS?
