OK, I set my score to 10 and it’s time to rate.

First, it is a mod of “Hit the Ball” in GameMaker 4. (takes off 5 here) The bg is good, (6) but the border is still ugly. (-2) (6-2=4) and nothing new has been added. (4-2=2) After all this is just a hack, so I suggest you make your own games instead of making modifications. My final rating is 2.

Oh my … this is very bad, I mean VERY bad!
It’s original, that save’s this from a 2.5!
You can’t see when the turtles are to be destroyed, or that they destroy you!
Not like the original PacMan, you can walk to the wall, but in PacMan, he will walk only when there is a way to left,right,up or down! It was funny to make PacJazz, but it’s full of BUGS!

Download Recommed:No…Not now!
Play It:If your a dummy!

a 4 from me…

This game is a version of pac man using Jazzes head and what apears to be badly resized turtle sprites taken from shudder www.jazzjackrabbit.com or the manual. He did not program this he stole someone elses hard programing work and didn’t even creddit them. Not looking good so far. The code he stole was only an example of a PacMan type game. Its well codded but since its not your codding your not getting any points. I really don’t want to rate this as he stole everything and didn’t give credit. So I’m afraid I can not rate this higher than a 1 sorry but I can’t. I can not rate this game for anything because its all stolen.

wadledee It is not original for two reasons, 1.Its just pacman 2.He didn’t program this.[This review has been edited by Sun Fun Dude]

INTRODUCTION TO PAC JAZZ: This game (seperate application) seems to be a variant of Pacman where you control Jazz’s head (the author has this strange fixation with Jazz’s head) instead of Pacman.

GRAPHICS/ETC: Hmmm. The walls look normal enough, though probably a little too bright. The pellets which normally turn ghosts blue look awful. Pacman has been replaced with Jazz’s head, who only has one frame of animation (this looks really strange when he dies), and the ghosts are replaced with the worst rips I’ve ever seen of Normal Turtles. (If you eat one of those power pellet things, they get nigh-invisible dark red letters above their heads). The whole graphics set looks extremely ripped and has that “I need to make this Jazz like I’ll spent two minutes rippiung things!” feel.
Pros: Jazz’s head actually didn’t turn out too badly.
Cons: The walls are too bright, the power pellet is ugly, the normal turtles are horrible.
Rating: 4.0

GAMEPLAY: Everyone knows how to play Pacman. You move around through a maze eating little yellow dots, avoid the ghosts, and eat special things which let you eat the ghosts. All of this is here. The main problems are… bugs.
One, you can turn around and crash into a wall. This is really annoying if you were hoping it would just turn as soon as you get to the intersection. Also, the ghosts have apparently no artificial intelligence at all, seeming to move randomly whenever they reach an intersection. Being scared does not seem to effect their behavior at all. And you appear to have infinite lives…
Pros: It’s recognizable as Pacman.
Cons: Too many flaws, not even the right layout.
Rating: 4.7

ORIGINALITY: Nothing is original in this except for converting it to Jazz (though I remember hearing something about Pacspaz from ET..). I recommend you go download a game called “Pacman Worlds”. It might inspire you somewhat.
Rating: 2.0

OVERALL: This is a rather poor Pacman takeoff – I hestitate to call it a clone – with strangely ripped graphics and poor gameplay. There is honestly not all that much else to say about this. You are still advised not to download this file. (This time it’s only 1,345 KB, though!)
Rating: 2.5

ERRATA: Apparently this entire game is an edit of some already made program. This lowers the rating by .5 (And I haven’t calculated it yet).

This is a modification of the “Hit the Ball” example game that comes with Game Maker 4. Be sure to state that in the “other authors” section or description.

Ok, I’m going to try the more ordinary review format again this time.

INTRODUCTION TO HIT JAZZS HEAD: This seems to be a seperate application, presumably intended to be a game. It’s probably made by this program people call “Game maker”, as I think I’ve seen that loading bar before.

GAMEPLAY: Uhhh. Four Jazz Heads (the lives symbol from JJ2) bounce around the screen. You click on the heads. If you do it right, your score goes up by one, and the head repositions itself. There is no way to lose score, nor go to a more difficult level (I assume… I gave up after 50), nor make any advancement at all. After about ten seconds, you will start to wonder “just why am I doing this?” and you probably won’t come up with some sort of answer. This game is brilliantly pointless, but that’s about all it’s brilliant in.
Pros: Everything seems to work.
Cons: Nothing seems to happen.
Rating: 4.0

ORIGINALITY: When reviewing the originality of a seperate application (a game, in this case), I suppose one should compare it to other apps/games of the same nature. I can’t find any. Still, juding by the complete lack of… well, anything, I’m going to guess originality is rather low.
Rating: 2.2

EYECANDY/GRAPHICS/APPEARANCE: The bouncing things are Jazz’s JJ2 life head. The background is an apparently unedited screenshot of Psych (Night, I think.. for some reason there are those parallexing star things which look somewhat out of place), and the window has a border of what are either ten second drawn pyramids or ripped from Commander Keen, it’s hard to say. One wonders, with all the other graphics from JJ2, why not simply have a more graphically familiar border? Shrugs
Pros: No obvious visual errors.
Cons: The border is ugly, nothing is all that new.
Rating: 5.0

REPLAY VALUE/FUN FACTOR/ENJOYABILITY: After a few seconds, this game quickly loses interest. Sorry.
Rating: 2.0

OVERALL/VERDICT/SUMMARY/BREAKDOWN/FISH: This program isn’t really worth the space it takes up… which brings up a rather annoying point. Why in the world is this simple program 1,654 KB? I understand you use some graphics, but really, this is ridiculous! …sorry. Off on a tangent there. Anyway, you probably shouldn’t download this. Wait until the author improves or decides to upload something which isn’t quite so simple. (In fact, what with the simplicity and the filesize, I rather worry this was a virus in disguise)
Pros: Everything seems to work.
Cons: Rather boring, nothing can really change, the “automatic repositioning” looks weird.
Rating: 3.2
