Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

This is a great remake. I realized long ago that a Jazz 2 Dreempipes would have to “touch” the buttons. It’s great. I think it looks better than the original. And it brings a nostalgic tear to my eye. :’-)

I was going to give it a 10, but something really bugged me. It is put on the screen as an episode to choose, right? Well…. now if I wanna go through all 4 episodes without starting over I can’t because after you beat the last level here it goes to the first…. That’s sort of unfair, but the levels and tilesets are good, the game is just like the real Hocus Pocus =) So I can’t take off too much, so I thought giving this an 8.5 would be fair.

Very nice tileset… … do you know Sirius???
Sirius is very. very good remake of tileset Dreempipes. Orignal, GOD!!!
But this is easier to use.

Normal Conversion Of Good Tileset.One good think is here: Jazz 1 lives!!![This review has been edited by Danyjel]
D/L for >fan< of JJ1 recommended[This review has been edited by Danyjel]

This is another great conversion. It looks great and I love all the Evas. All the tiles are included (even all the frames of those hands). The example level is good to. Would make a great X-Mas level for an X-mas pack.

This was always my least faverouite tileset in JJ1 but the conversion is great.

I don’t like how you have to get the water working its just silly. Anyway it has most of the tiles needded good job!

Violet you are the king. I’ve been waiting for Dreempipes for bleeming ages! :D

Doesn’t seem to lack any tiles that I can see. Has the red buttons, the green background alternative versions of all the tiles, heck even the boss eggs. :) Very well done.

IMHO you shoulda used Haze’s Dreamy Pipes remix, it might not be as authentic but it’s even cooler music. :p[This review has been edited by defalcon]

Hmmm….joy, I knew this would come out sooner or later. Sadly, I cant download this or rate this yet, but i will as soon as my computer was fixed. Expect a long review from me.

Firstly let me say that the example level was good and showed a lot, and the button idea was really good, since the buttom tiles come into use.

Now lets begin the review:

Water: Since a good percentage of this level is based on the look of the water, I have to include this in my review. The water actually looks quite great. Though it looks purple, that is good since the water isnt “pure” on this planet. The water is one of the best I have ever seen. It looks good AND fits into the theme of the tileset. Plus the water goes into a combination with the switches to make it go up and down. Not many levels that are themed around water turn out good, but one with this tileset can be great! There are also “underwater alternatives” as it says in the set, which if you dont feel comfortable using water you can make something that resembles water, which is great.

INCLUDED TILES:
Hmm…I havent played Dreempipes in a while, but based on what I see and remember all the tiles are included. Heck, there are even those buttons and eggs of that giant bird included! I have nothing wrong with the included tiles. Also, there are extra tiles which violet himself made, such as the hooks destruct blocks etc. And the textured backround looks beautiful! There are also belts, suckers, destruct blocks, hooks, poles, vines and many more. What more can you ask for! There is a variety of tiles so you can make numerous different settings and use you imagination and creativity to the full power! This definately gets high marks!
Pros: Everything
Cons: None that I can see of.
Rating: 9.7

COLOR:
The color here is also great. Like I mentioned before, the water actually looks good in this set O.o And the textured backround is amazing. I also fell in love with the belts, that color is awesome! The sucker tubes and tunnels look quite good too! The green ground and backround look great! The water looks a bit strange but its still good. The color shocks me here at how well its done.
Pros: Basically everything.
Cons: None that I can see of or that are worth mentioning.
Ratin: 9.5

Masking:
The first thing Ive noticed is some text in the mask ;p Lol, though its funny to read and I have no problem with it, I wont give extra marks because violet is a “cowfish”. The thing I found that sort of bugged me is the tunnel mask is to thin. While playing the xample level, when i jumped in the tunnel I was slowed down by the mask because I almost went through it (yes, it is that thin). Though this only decreased the rating by a bit, it can become a nuisance, especially in race games where people are new to this set. Generally, I found the masking to be ok, except there are to many thin masks in this set, and im not exactly a fan of that.
Pros: Masking is good.
Cons: Sometimes its to thin and gets annoying.
Rating: 9.2

Animations:
Wow. Thats what describes this the most. There are many animations in this tileset. Arrows, waterfalls, water rivers, arrows on suckers, small barely seen flashing dots on the yellow triangles, waterfalls in what looks like a glass tube, blue and green buttons, water control buttons, water on ground, small waterfalls(variety), belts and destruct blocks, to name them. Though some animations you can barely see, others are quite good. I find no problem with the animations, they are quite well done.
Pros: Lots of animations, nicely done
Cons: Some arent that usefull.
Rating: 9.5

Ease to use:
This is the part that lowers the mark of many tilesets down. No matter how much people try, there is still some difficulty using the tileset. This tileset fits that description. Although ive seen many harder to use sets, this one isnt what I would call simple. The large variety in the tiles make the levelmaker think “Gee, I wonder where this goes”. Though the example level helped me understand how to use the set more, I still have some difficulty with it. Though when i look at it from the positive, I see really awesome levels made with this. Though it would take some work and getting used to the set.
Pros: Ive seen more harder to use sets.
Cons: Large vareity confuses you in where to place tiles, not that easy.
Rating: 7.6

FINAL RATING: 9.1, which is rounded closest to 9.2, which id what I would give this.

FINAL COMMENTS: Unlike many of you, Dreempipes wasnt my favorite tileset. The conversiono of the tileset was magnificent though, I dont think you would find a better dreempipes conversion out there. Violet proves again he is number one when it comes to conversions. The tileset is great, and im sure many of us where waiting for it. This is one the greatest conversions, and you MUST download this (unless you want to be like spoy ;p j/k)
Like i said, I’d give this a solid 9.2 and a big download reccomendation. [This review has been edited by Blackraptor]

If this had come out sooner, it would have had less tiles and far more bugs. :)

Why didnt this come out sooner. This tileset is the best.

Download RECOMMENDED DEFINETLY

9.7/10

Woot wack wacka. Another JJ1 conversion by Violet. Always they are nice, so, why don’t this one?

This is only one of the best of Violet conversions. You get really the feeling that you are in a factory and wow there is a textured background.
There is many eyecandy, and you can use the buttons very nice, what Violet letyou see very cool in the Example level.
The tileset overal is just nice purple, with pipes ahem, fuel barrel and more of toxic anti-prolotifitiojilotion things. Nice work.

Once again, a great conversion of yours, Violet. I see you are first to make Dreempipes conversion, so I increase my rating by 0.2. Good work and keep on converting!

A nice conversion. Pity it’s soo annoying to get the water to look right.
Also, I for some reason like the idea of using a jazz-savepoint sign thinge for a text sign, but I’m just weird.

Always an 8 for conversions.

Ok, let’s go

TILE AMOUNT: Just great!
10/10

TILE LINKING: Ok, because this is from JJ1 The paths and walls are otherwise well linked. I can give it only 8, because you just convert the right tiles.
8/10

ANIM TILES, SPIKES ETC.:Good? Yes!
8/10

REALIZATION: Looks very much JJ1 tileset. Well done.
9/10

EXAMPLE LEVEL: It was fun. Fun those water level buttons. Anyway there’s few places to get stuck, and few tile bugs.

Well, well, well another great conversion from Violet and I collect JJ1 sets. So since everyone is giving an 8.7 I will too.

Like always (well OK, except Scraparap) your JJ1 remake kicks butt. YOu’ve included not only all tiles and JJ2 event stuff, but also the movie things! It’s interesting that example level has a story. A bit bigger, and it would increase the rating a bit (punish me for rating example levels. c’mon, do it! ya scared or somethin’?), but it won’t do any harm (hah, so you can’t prove it!). Anyway, your conversions rock and I give you a solid 9,5. It’s a 3 in 1, and a good one, so download now!

This tileset is phew-oot another JJ1 conversion of Violet.
I know I may not say it, but the example level is cool and orginal too. I give + points for that harhar.
The tileset itself is in three various parts, Day , Night and Evening. They are all totally cowfish and doofus. The eyecandy is very nice, and you se a moving santa Claus on the background.
Nothing to say further. The tileset is barf and I give the 8.7 only for the “Violet is a cowfish”.
Well done.
I am proud to have this as my i-really-don’t-now-how-to-count-review.
