Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Hmm

Not bad!! ;)

Keep it up Aiko

yes, a big back of good battles! (ok, I know it’s just 1 level.)

Despite the fact that all of these are conversions (and they are TSF only), I liked these battle levels. They have good design, eye candy and such. Complaints include the fact that the layers can get confusing. Weapons were a bit excessive, too. Overall this battle pack is worth downloading if you’re bored and want a good pack to play on TSF. :-)

Introduction to JazzEd:

JazzEd is a program made by Aiko that basically changes your server name, your rabbit’s fur, and your rabbit’s name to funkier colors for any player and either version of Jazz Jackrabbit 2 without having to edit your registry.

Appeal:

This program will appeal to those who do not like to risk editing the registry, people who don’t know about the registry, and those who just want to save time and enjoy the game sooner. This program is handy because it appeals to all users of Jazz Jackrabbit 2.

Ratings:

Operating System/Game compatibility: 5.0/5.0

JazzEd works just as well as Jazz Jackrabbit 2. Of course, all you need is Windows 95 (or higher) itself, because it requires the registry (which Jazz Jackrabbit 2’s values are entered into.)

Usefulness: 2.5/2.5

JazzEd does what it promises, and proves to be quite useful. You can change your rabbit’s fur and name properties, and change the server name, to make it stand out. You can change the letter spacing and leave or remove the colon with just the click of a button.

Easy-to-use: 2.5/2.5

The program is very easy to use, and you do everything step-by-step. All your information is entered into the registry, so all your preferences are saved and you’ll be able to use it the next time. Editing the registry all the time can sometimes be annoying, if you like to change your fur and name a lot. This saves the time and you can play instead of editing.

Overall rating: 10.0/10.0

JazzEd got its rating in the bag. It promises what it does without a problem or a flaw, and works on both versions of Jazz Jackrabbit 2. If this program doesn’t appeal to you, or you think you don’t need it, then don’t download it. But if you want to have a little fun and make your rabbits funky while saving some time, then download this.

Introduction to the Uninhabitable Battle Pack:

This level pack has a lot of original ideas… It is really one level, converted into thirteen versions. Aiko must have spent a lot of time with the conversions, because these tilesets are completely different (besides day and night ones.) You’ve gotta love the flating island/pillar/soldier/fire/tree/etc. though! Every once in a while, you’ll see a floating "island" in the foreground. The design is great, the eyecandy was just as good, but the weak point here was the use of the layers.

Ratings:

Design/Content: 2.5/2.5

The design of the level is great for some battle action for any amount of players. You’ll find obstacles where they should be to have the player struggle to get to the other.

Tile/Event use: 2.3/2.5

Aiko was careful about where his events went with the tiles. The tiles fit well with the events, and the levels certainly have some life, unlike some other levels I’ve seen. Still, it was just under the limit because you don’t see it everywhere.

Tile/Tile compatibility: 1.7/2.0

The tiles fit fairly well, with each other. There are only a few places where tiles could be replaced by walls or another decent tile. Other than that, the eyecandy’s terrific.

Event/Event compatibility: 0.8/1.0

The events did go well with each other. You’d find that there is more tiling than events, and it gets unbalanced, here.

Layer use: 0.7/1.0

The only disappointing factor in this level pack is the use of layers. The floating island doesn’t take this down at all, because it was not overused. In fact, the floating island idea only brings up this factor. I enjoyed seeing a pillar, tree, soldier, or something similar, flying across the screen every once in a while – it never did get old. However, branches and platforms were in the sprite foreground layer, in the middle of an area which should have more platforms, where the speed of the layer almost matches the sprite layer. This really made the level’s obstacles confusing, and sometimes, annoying.

Game Compatibility: 1.0/1.0

You won’t have many problems with this level pack. This level pack works with TSF, so make sure you have it. I don’t decrease points for making it only TSF compatible – Make your levels 1.23 or 1.24 – it will only make a difference to users that don’t have one or the other.

Bonus – Level conversions: 0.5/0.5

All the levels in this level pack are actually the same. They just use different tilesets, which brings up the bonus half-point. Aiko would have to spend a lot of time to convert the level to different tilesets – he even converted it to a mez tileset. Each level has a few differences, but are just as fun. For the effort made to convert it to different tilesets (which takes a very long time with the different tilesets and their placements) this level gets a bonus half point (Not available for perfect levels.)

Replayability: 3-4 Hours

You’ll get a couple hours of fun out of this pack. I suggest downloading this pack to do some things: Play the levels, serve the levels, explore the levels, and/or observe the levels. See how they’re alike and how they’re different – how well they were converted. It also makes for a good battle level, which it was meant to be.

Summary for the Uninhabitable Battle Pack:

Download this level pack, and have some fun. It is nothing you’ll regret passing up, but it is also nothing you want to pass up at all. Everyone else’s opinions’ count, too – Its what the community demands.

Hi Aiko
This program is one of the best JJ2 pogram´s I have ever seen!
:-)

Hi Aiko
This is best level-packe I have ever seen!!!
It is only cool!! I like this lvl really!!

Good I guess for newbies or people who
are unsure about changing their fur.
Not to mention a very nice message in
the lower right, if you got the time
and want to mess around with your name
colours n stuff, this is a must.

Good job aiko. In the castle version the vines in the backround make it look like you’re always about to fall onto them :P though. (:

BOOOOO

I dont like tsf only. Im tempted to give this a 0 but i wont.

Very nice program, Aiko. Even though it has no use for me. :-)

Huh, shouting Bobby? Uhm, I really don’t know the download stuff cause I didn’t program it. That’s Quist or Cheeze.

-Diz

sorry newspaz actually its 13 levels not 3 :-)

Basicly these are 3 the same levels. I think it’s ok. The design isn’t very original after playing all 3 the levels. But i liked the level with Mez3b the best.

Fine program Aiko ! Altough it’s a little messy in my resolution. I Guess that gets fixed sometime.. :)
