Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Heaven is a great 62 by 10 Tileset (a total of 620 tiles) which are all fully used, unlike some ML and J2LC tilesets which happen to have a high advertising-using-space and gives the user less possibilties. The author, Agama, did some good thinking while making this tileset and adapted it too all different games.
The tileset is about an ancient looking temple dedicated to Jazz jackrabbit 2. It uses pillars with the well-known turtles painted on them, hieroglives, wallpaintings of Jazz and Spaz, rabbit statues, coloured glass, everything which makes a temple a temple. U can build yer lvl on top of mountain with fog surrounding it or just plain on the ground with some clouds on the background, u choose.
The tileset looks awesome. It misses just one little thing to be as good as the standard ones, but then again it offers many things which the standard ones don’t offer. Agama thought about inside and outside. For example the author used shading for background walls when a masked wall is near, just like in the standard ones, but which aren’t used by most custom tilesets. The author used clouds which are used in his example lvl as clouds and also as fog. The tile difficulty is something like the Inferno Tileset.
The thing I like most are the possibilities of the tileset. The keys are a great idea, they can be used for Assault in a very good way. The enemy won’t keep there doors open, so this is a good thing for unlocking doors. Battle and Treasure Hunt can be done very good with this, the changing of inside and outside keeps u paying attention and doesn’t get boring.
It’s about time someone build a new, original and good tileset. U should have this standard in your tilelist. Thanx to Agama I can laugh again about the news topic: There aren’t any good new lvls posted. I think that’s bad. Recent examples are Rainy Rain Forest, Lost Vikings Tileset and last but definetely not least, this one. The problem is those guys only play with their friends, just meet new people who can do just as good as u guys can, or even better.
As I allready said this one is a MUST have in your tilelist. A fat 9.9 for almost perfect (cos nothing is perfect), but there’s no 9.9, so a 10 for this tile. And it deserves it more than any other.

STUNTS is laughing out loud (Finally a non ML or J2LC who’s able to get high ratings, ‘another one bites to dust’)

Bobby-
Watch it Stunt. This is two warnings.[This review has been edited by Bobby aka Dizzy]

If I would say the same about Cracco Boy it would be fine. U’ve got my word: I won’t say it again. And Disguise: Sorry for the hard words.
And it’s STUNTS, Bobb.[This review has been edited by $TÛNT$]

Ok, Aiko if u say… R u his dog or something? And when I say stuff, it ain’t true. Perhaps some softies cant stand such language, but only accept nice Aiko language. ;)

What is this?
Your friends gave it very high. This will adjust his total score, so watch it.
Here are some good things to say about the lvl:
There’s a start position.
U can walk.
…
…
That’s all I guess.

Here are the bad things:
Eyecandy looks terrible. Things are confusing. In one word: Sucky.

Btw Flea: the reason why Stiletto gave him 7.5 is this one word: F-R-I-E-N-D.

I never was of the Lost Vikins, but I played the game a few times at Fire’s house (The original Fire, newbies).

There’s a lot of stuff to use. And with this tileset it’s possible to have good professional looking lvl. Everything is original and as I look at other’s reviews, and I don’t only mean for this thing, but to load of others: People aren’t rating fair.
Some of em are jealous that they can’t make such a good tileset, cos he just got a 4.7 for his.
His name isn’t Disguise or EvilMike and he’s isn’t from ML or J2LC so he can’t get higher than an 8. Just check a few tiles from these guys. All got higher, but only some of em really are better than this one.
For the tile: It looks good. Only buttheads will be able to make a badlooking lvl with this tileset. For all regular creators: Succes garanteed.

Sevens at least? Must be pals. Anyways here’s my opinion:

Eyecandy:
Sux bigtime. No use of flowers and other decoration to improve yer eyecandy. There are also some things at the sides of lvl which are made VERY bad. The vines are placed bloody wrong like they float in the air and some of the walls aren’t finished.

Gameplay:
How long did the author take to build this lvl? My guess is 5 minutes. Using much of the same stuff: At the upper right of the lvl there’s a constant type of path used: up and down- up and down. The authour didn’t think about places where u can surprise others with bouncers or other weapons. Just a dumb/regular setup. And what to say about the spring placement: If u could die from headaches there was no way to play this lvl, cos of the instant headblocking. And what’s a blue spring doing at a point where can should a green one, or even a red one would be good. Now u just fly miles over your target.

Weaponplacement:
Even eventplacing is hard for the author. He placement ammo in one line in the air. There isn’t anything bad about that, but it is bad when it is 15 ammo: Which are AMMOBOXES! If u put those in the air they’ll fall down: All at the place. So u got about 20 boxes lying at one place: pretty cheap. Other waepons aren’t placed 2 good as well. I could go on and on, but then I’d probably decide to give it even lower: U lucky son of a gun…

Not so superb as I expected, but it has some quality. If I look at the difference between lvls with 9s en with 7s, I don’t know how u guys rate, but the difference isn’t that big.

Good indeed, but the gameplay itself could really use a tweak.

Yup.

The things I was gonna say are allreday said, but there are some things left:

The warps could be seen as annoying, but on the other hand they can give quite surprise. Like warpin behind your attacker and then roast his ass before he does 2 u.

The eyecandy is ok. 1b1 tiles are easy 2 use and can make great 1b1 platforms.

The gameplay isn’t very clever and (again) is way 2 small.

Overall a 5 (again ;).

What can I say about this. On the other hand I think: Wow, he used some good new stuff. But I also think the lvls are 2 small and the gameplay is freakin awful.
The background is fresh and new. I don’t agree with BlackDeath: If there’s air included in the tileset, than u don’t have to use that as background. This gives a bushy feelin and very different from other lvls I’ve seen. But to be honest it doesn’t look quite good.
There are no ‘ugly’ parts in the lvl, like a tree placed wrong on the ground.
The gameplay looks weird. 2 much of the same and there’s no real feeling in it. The lvls are way 2 small.
My conclusion is that these 2 lvls are a combination of average eyecandy, bad gameplay, but some original stuff used to make it look different from other Jungle lvls.

Just let people test your Beta Version for u. Like Flash, I don’t do beta’s. And Stiletto’s advice is well placed here: Make your own.

A levelpack consisting of small lvls. Now what’s good and what isn’t?

The eyecandy looks good at most parts but there are some parts where it looks awful. For instant the third room in the castle level. However I like the background u used in Electric Force.

The levels are very small and don’t play very well. U could have taken more time for that.

The weapon placing is quite messy. Powerups everywhere and at a real short distance from eachother.

My conclusion: the levels look good at most places, but not everywhere. The playability is quite hard cos of the room u have and the placement of things. There are also a lot of dead ends.
5 looks good for this one.

A tip: Take more time to build your lvls. Your style is fine, but next time spend more time. If u make anoher level, I can test it for u before u post…Think about it.

I did it myself. It was his first tileset and I rated Tobi’s thing also with n/a. So I think it’s fair to do the same with Chaos’ thing.

Ver small and empty lvl. Didn’t use the stuff to decorate the lvl and this tileset is way overused. just 2 standard for such a “bigname”

Another GREAT lvl by Martin. Looks ace, plays ace, what more to say? Just download ALL of his lvls.
The best CTF AND the best lvl using the Haunted tiles. The reason y it’s TSF only is because the tile isn’t available for 1.23.

I think Dizzy is right. But u guys still give it an 8, well my friends would do the same thing to me.
Looks boring and not because of the one color, but it has no style if u know what mean.

I guess Newspaz told everything. It has no playfeeling and the eyecandy could be much better. Though this tileset is hard to use there are lot’s of examples like Fright Night CTF and some standard TSF lvls.

If u like to play underused tilesets u could give it a try. But if exactly the same lvl would be build with an overused tileset I guess it would be worse. The conclusion I get from this is that the tileset makes the lvl instead of the gameplay.

5.7 looks good enuf.

Very small tileset. The tiles look awful and what’s that big red circle? The blue square is the air I presume. It’s impossible to use more than one layer with this tileset.
Of course this is your first tileset, but if I must believe what rookie players tell about u, I would expect something much better than this.
But bcos it’s your first I won’t rate. Just pointing at the mistakes, hope u’ll learn from it.[This review has been edited by $TÛNT$]

That’s right, not all of us live on earth u know. ;P

A good program but there isn’t a real need for it. However if u like to use progs for Jazz to keep track of stuff on your HD and to have everything in one basket, u’ll sure have fun with this.
