Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

While I agree this is flawed I believe it’s a bit more than the sum of its parts.

The first test with actual level design.

Scumbag Loon: calls level “Waterworks”, doesn’t recolor the toxic liquid blue.

Finally! Every now and then I’d wonder what happened to this project, glad to see you decided to make a release.

Just reading the list of music files was a nostalgia blast.

Now that’s not a tag I expected to see ever again.

Nice big map with a decent layout, the eyecandy is a bit lacking though.

Lots of cool stuff that I’ve always wanted to see in JCS ever since I started using it (12 years and counting).

EDIT: Removed what was a bit too harsh.

9 years later: I realise the title means “Dark Wood Jungle”

Barrier shattering, record breaking. Incredible all around.

reg ;)

Sounds pretty cool.

Clever and cute.

To be honest, I didn’t like either all that much since I think giving monsters more energy makes the game boring, and not harder. The palette manipulations (especially in River Secrets) are very pretty, though.

Finally a level in palette D!!!

Starlit may not be Starlit Summit, but it’s still a pretty decent CTF level with an oldschool feel – the music and tileset (good choices on both!) are right from the past decade, and the asymmetrical layout will remind you of 2002’s biggest hits as well.

Unfortunately, it has some flaws or otherwise weird things about it. First of all, I don’t get the point of the platforms in middle top – once you get on one, you can just sit there safely, since there’s no other way of getting to the top than the vines. Besides, it’s easy to access the full carrot from both places, so even if you managed to hit the camper, they could just run away and heal (with this look on their face). In a duel, where you have no teammates to take the hit for you, this would be a big problem. The bottom area is a nice place for the two +1 carrots and it has cool flow, but putting a gun9 powerup there is a bit of w wtf moment, since gun9 isn’t even all that useful here. And even if it were, there are still ammo pieces of gun9 flying around, so hogging the PU makes no sense. The tube at 42,57 is kind of useless, since it’s just as fast to reach the PU from the right by the springs and above. Also, no ammo at 48,53?

The full carrot really looks like it should be on the ledge at 54,33… but that’s picky.

Overall, it’s a nice level, but needs some fixes to be a proper good level. And as there was no beta testing, the rating will perhaps be edited at some point. :)

EDIT: That’s better.

EDIT2: Raised the rating since this is such a bunch of fun to play.

Totally pointless.

WTF is with the other .j2l file included?

What it says – a small Labrat romp. Decent overall.

Massive props for using this music!

Lithium: Fair enough, I didn’t notice that.
