Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

heh, that blue spring is evil..your so close but yet so far…this is a fun lev
and it doesn’t look like a bad level for ctf but I just happened to come across an error at pos 16,78 you have to add layer 3 to the right of it.
I like the level though, a wide variety of areas and weapons ;).

Oh, forgot to mention. I’m sure you will all see the blue springs above the red base and complain that it doesn’t reach the top. Well, this is intentional guys, it’s a one way route ;)

If you think I’m gonna make it that easy to get the seeker powerup, then think again ;)

What Bjarni mentioned was a legit bug. I removed the Jazz Startbefore I uploaded, but forgot to add the MP starts afterwards. Latest version is fixed, thanks to ET for mentioning this.[This review has been edited by Disguise]

Now that I think about it, this tileset was the first thing that made me want to join GpW:To learn how to make good levels and maybe good tilesets. But I’m glad I didn’t. All that was holding me back from making decent levels was the fact that I didn’t know what all the events did and there were too many different floor tiles and such. Still, this tileset is beautiful. The music’s cool too, and you give a level for all three online multiplayer modes. I just have to give it a 10.

I’ve got an idea. If you want more animating tiles, make this in TSF but keep this version up, then upload the TSF version for TSF players. I don’t have TSF, but I can live without animated tiles.

Not enough possibility to make a good level with this.. It doesn’t have enough good tiles.

Actually, it’s tons better than a true n00b set. So.. yes.

FiShY! is a funky new tileset creation by famous Mr. Disguise and it contains 630 scurfy tiles.

The colours (very “soft”) and the overall impression of this set is not too spectacular, but nevertheless, it’s definitely a solid download.
A lot of fish eyes will stare at you and there is a good selection of useful stuff you can use in your level (numbers blocks, signs, vines, poles and different backgrounds, for example).

As (nearly) always, Disguise included a small example CTF level in the package, mainly to demostrate the qualities of his set. Unfortunately, he didn’t set single player starting points which makes it a bit hard to test for us reviewers. The level itself looks a bit like it was made in a hurry: the design is okay (very open, fluently playable and so on) but the details are not so well-made (bad weapon placement, f.e.). The background layer(s) look quite nice, however (=eyecandy).
By the way: as a background music, Future Crew’s “Fishtro” tune would have been the ultimate choice here in my humble opinion :-)

Conclusion: yes, i recommend you to save a copy of this tileset on your PC. It’s really worth it and i’m sure a few talented levelmakers will try to make some nice maps with it. Esspecially if they…LiKE FiSHiES!!! :-P

I always rate tilesets by not just eye candy, but originality, and effort in tiles, the difference between this tileset and the improved version, is that it has more of a variaty in tiles, it has spider webs, and bones, and big bones, A plant with a mouth, a few spikes ( could do with some blood on them ;P ), and the funny thing is, I like the eyes in this set, more than the other set, they are more evil :p

The other thing I like about this tileset is that it has diagal ceiling tiles, which the upgraded tileset didn’t have, making it look more squary :p This tileset has heaps of little extra things that make this tileset, better ( not in eye candy ) than the upgraded version of this,

1- it has arrows, unlike the other
2- more decoration tiles
3- cavey tiles ( even though they’re yellow :p )
4- has a hooks

I wish that there were some V or H poles in the set though :p Neither has any!

I quite like it actually guys…

Eh this is a Disguise tileset? Man, Disguise has come a LONG way. Still, back in J2C this would’ve got a fairly high rating. It has an MS-Paintish feel to it, probably cause it was done in Ms Paint. ;)
Still, for his first tileset I’d say it is pretty good.

ga it hurts my eyes but i brings back memores blah blah blah time to stop reading people

Cool. Why couldn’t I have thought of all those ideas while making my Halloween tileset? :P

Cool and original tileset but it lacks a bit in diff tiles and stuff i wanted to do more :( after a while the set can be bit boring how ever this one is better then te average newbie tileset ;P

The Example level is fun good song yeah it scares the hell out of me

>As Flash said…
Sorr, i didn´t read the text and im a bit of new here, so i throught this was your first titel-set you ever made
And id also forget to add ‘‘cool’‘ in the oiginal message..[This review has been edited by Freezolf]

I’ve seen much worse first tilesets!
Much, much worse :)

The eyecandy is not that great, but what’d you expect from a first tileset?
It has most of the standard tiles tough, and even eyecandy decorations and a second platform type. You can’t say that of many early tilesets. ;p
There are forgotten tiles tough, there are no diagonal tiles with a yellow bg(the yellow bg this tileset contains is unmasked and for use in layer 4) and there are no H-poles.

Now, the background is funny, but because it uses the same color as the foreground, there is too little contrast between the fore and background. I don’t know how the author should have solved it, because it adds to the mood too. Maybe make it another kind of dark, just a little bit different from the foreground. The eyes should have been a darker red.

The masking is pretty okay, tough the diagonal tiles are quite useless because you can’t walk up. This is a masking bug. One of the little masking bugs there are, if there are any except this one.

For the rest, well, this is a newbie set. :)
Tough I have to say, at least it has a theme and isn’t as bad as many other tilesets around. If it had a bit more texture, and some more shading(shading is nonexistant :)) it might have gotten a 6.5 or a 7, depending on the quality, but I’ll go with a 5 now. In my book a 5 means effort has been put into the tileset, but it still doesn’t have very good eyecandy.

This shows even Disguide can make ugly sets :P. The set is small, and looks very “MS-Painty”. It has the same evil eyes as the “Darkened Landscape” set, weird spikes (only 5 pixels high), some little bones, some big bones, weird yellow caves which don’t fit too good in the black/red layout of the set, tubes, Something weird (ah, now I see. It’s a spider web), vines, arrows, stuff to make platforms from, and some things I can’t find the “meaning” of. I think it would be unfair to give this higher than a 3,5, because I gave several 3,5s to tilesets with the same quality. The minor setback is the quality. It looks very painty and that’s bad. Well, that’s it. Now skip to the next review..

To FQuist: I don’t have a book with ratings inside ;)[This review has been edited by Fl@$h aka BlewMeUp]

Another nice tileset by Disguise. Notice how, when people are scrabbling for the 1000th upload, they’re cranking out as much as possible?

Well, onto the review. The tileset looks good and has some basic tiles and a bit of decorative stuff like headstones. It would be better if there were more stuff, maybe a cracked headstone, variations, some creaky old fences, etc. Also, animations. Blinking eyes, wriggling roots or whatever. Otherwise the tileset can look a little plain. Not quite up to usual quality, but as it’s a remake of an old tileset, I’ll let it slide.

I forsee usage in October, 2002. Bwahahahaha.
Good things:
The artwork is excellent.
Most basic tiles are there.
In the style of Epic’s tilesets, even the basic tilesets have many variations.

Bad things:
There really isn’t anything other then basic tiles.
No ? block. Nobody ever uses them, but you should always include one anyway.
THE EYES ARE SUPPOSED TO BLINK! WE WANT ANIMATIONS!
The smiley face really destroys the atmosphere… can’t you get an evil looking one?

Craccoboy, Splash, this isn’t an old tileset. Try reading the description, it’s a Remake!

I agree with Splash, it’s too basic.
This isn’t really useful either. And uploading bad, old tilesets will only bring your average down, so I suggest you upload the tilesets you think that are the best.

(looks at all ratings above and is surprised) -the tileset is way too basic. way too basic! It looks pretty nice (well…Disguise, you can do better these days!), and it only contains some basic tiles and a background. Can’t really say more about it. Tileset freaks may want to get this…
Stop uploading old tilesets Disguise, we want new ones ;)

a 6.5
