This is not first japaness tileset in j2o, but it’s – I think – first good japaness tilset :)
I think, that giving rating less than 9.0 is crime. Yes, It’s crime. Today there are less and less tileset creators, but some of them – Gus or Dodges – are enought independent from j2o elites to be real free tileset artists. I don’t want explain this, but I shall review his tileset. There are also some subiective reviers, who decress theirs rating, because they didn’t like Dodges (clan wars in reals etc). This is the shame!
There are too much people, who make “dark” tileset. I like funny, orginal, but not at all perfect draw tileset (some of CraccoBoy works). For me, more important is felling in tilesets. It can be paint maid, by a need something magic and unique.
What.s more, I little helped Dodges which background. I know something time consuming wokrs. Every tileset creators know, how much time it can take.

Tileset is full of colors. Sometimes there are too bright elements (red wood), but in general, everything is so good. Thera are also good detalis like Buddha. Also blocks looks like from sonic, but all are easy to use.
What’s more, masks and pallete are also good made. This is not disatventage, that was made in paint. Do you wana see, how paint can be powerfull? see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtjDOfEVzHo.
Also there is logical placement of tiles.
There are also some animations. I like waterfalls and other enivorment things. This is giving “live style”. Tress and leafs are also beauty. This white is best one :). Sumo warrior is best too. The houses (dodo?) is kind of alternative main blocks.Maybe I should call this “secondary blocks”. In general, this makes realy japanesse character of this tileset.
Bacground is also fun. I like cartoon stuff, and it looks realy intresting.

Ok, that’s enought. Tileset is very original and unique. If I redit original JazzJackrabit, a would put this tileset there,
Good luck Dodges in your next projects!

Hi Gus! (maybe, Ciao? xD)

I was wondering, how you had time to making all tihs tilesets and single-player modes :).
I remember your Campaing Mysteries – it was very good level pack with full of puzzles and “mysteries”.
Also, why I’m asking about that?
Because you have your own style od graphic. Now, in Casualty Mines I see, that your style is geting mature and mature. What’s more, there are many fantastic layers, good color palete, and also your “world of stone, lava and wagons” had good atmosfere. I like your “gus people”. I don’t know, how I can call them xD. I think, that I like your style, because you made thousands of similar things. This is not disatventage! Some of world famous artist were drawing without variety in technic. They were beautiful, because their works were having their names. This is like in CraccoBoy old levels. All his thinks were nice, because he was characteristic with non-convential ideas :). I would be waiting for the compilation of “Gus world”. Try to make one-big-level (minimum 80 kb).

What’s more, this is one of the best mine tileset in jazz2online i ever seen. Why? Because there is many good eycandy like houses or funny trees in background. Yeeeees… your background is perfect :). I think about from-the-blue-to-color-of-background. It looks professional. rocks also rulez.

I give you 10.0, because this tileset shows, how much you done from your start with jazz to this tileset. Try to make another one :). But, if it’s your last tileset, I must tell you, that you are abonding us with nice class.

Good luck!

I like this episodes, but I must said, that this pack it not good as another.
First, in levels there are more poverty: smaller levels (whare are gigantic tempels, colossal ships?), and schematic maps. Example: beging was cool, because there were nice ideas like catching floating lizards, swiming in underwater river… but rest was boring. Enemies, dialogues, enemies. Well, I think that author should make more surrealistic scenery in Haunted mine. I was realy intrestet and fun about that. Also little scared – but there was enemies. Bad idea. I think, there should be one big labirytnh with traps, but NO ENEMIES!! I hate schemas.
Storyline was in average level. It was no bad – becasue this is only part of well-made 3 episodes. But he use something (that i love), things from game (Eva’s ring), not from thousands imagined artifacts and thing. It realy makes attractiv. So, try to use items from game! I love this ecletic style.
And tilesets… there was some orginal choice like carrotus with this beaiful sky. But this “bricks” were boirng. Plus jungle between ths two. Crazy idea :).
To sum up all, this pack is (sorry)not well as other parts. But it’s better than other in J2O. I hope, part nr 5 will be: collosal, orginal (like rest) with nice intro. :)

I think, it’s best utliy ever for JCS. Becuase it’s simple to use, and what’s most important: it works.
I just tested it in my Miracle of Sun, and i have been suprised, that my level was multipled. I also added big music file… and i didn’s saw any bugs.
We was waiting for it – and it’s time to make one big ultimate world! :)

This program should be legend

This is strange, because before this program, thousands of players were serching program to create j2e like this one. But nobody from “elite” wanted to give the others; what’s more, now anybody would be able to use this fantastic program.

Program is very easy to use – it works also in TSF, so this is another benefit.
Also it’s very simply to use. I create first episod file after 5 minuts after downloading.

Now, we can create beautiful and great episodes, and we can also delete our old levels. Time for this program is now. This is brilant for JSC fans.
I hope, this simply c++ program gives us new motivations for creating realy good episodes…

Last formal thing, is 10.0. I think, ZapS, that I will be waiting for your other progams, because this one *was working*(this is rare), was simply and make me happy. I didn’t see any disatventages. In the other hand, readme file would be more “step by step” then “write something like this…” etc.

I know, that somebody else create this kind of program years ago, but You was first, who publicate this golden tool. Bless You!

The next tileset of Blade! I downloaded this, because I was wondering, how it can be good. I was ready for next amazing tileset, but I was some suprised! First is background. I think, that Blade did a profesional landscape, (except “only trees” layer), because it was giving good atmosphere… it have something strange and romantic. I like this. The best elements of background is lamps. This light betwen tres is the best. But other layer aren’t good as background. The main layer was too simple, and too fast-maked. In addition to this, Blade schould make more horizontal levels, becaues this not shows true benefits of this Tileset. Colors are good make. Both background and sky are super, but neither “City” layer and main layer are not good make as well. For example, Blade schould make more darkness main layer, and he should avoid “big black cubes”. I thin, that tileset will be good, if author correct this bugs. In overral this is not bad tileset. Anybody should download this to see a wonedrful park in background. Also it is intrestin, because there are al ot of my fauvorite eyecandy (bones in undground) and others. That’s all.

Short
Background: Good
4 Layer: Average…
Overral: 8

This is long, intersting story. Level’s are good in medium size, but some are very simple like first, second, third end fourth. Others are more atractive and very playful, but there are not enought carrots!
Storyline is cool, because There are one cool person -> Green Puzzel Man!. I like this guy, because is very fuuny. Also Magic Cat is very ogrinal person, because I didn’t see any levels with storyline with him/it. But last battle with him/it can by more hard and more attractive…
And remember: USE BIG TEXT

Yes, it is great pack! There are much actions and killing and Survive! 90% of Levels are bulid using my fauvorite tilesets, and all of them are very playful. But Anti-Jazz system are not work too good. Then I play with 4-5 players, it’s frustring to start this fun! Many of levels are too simple, but have perfect decoration!

Yes, this is the powerful Tileset!
But where are too much blocks. The backgronud in 4 layer you can do in 5 layer and you can delete a half of tileset. Also is very hard to use. But anybody can download this to see this incerdible tileset. But I don’t see any “good” levels based on this tileset
