Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Well, this is well made, except for the traditional bugs included with the game making series you made this with. I should know, having two of them myself.
I like the last level... are you sure we can make our own levels? :P I think I read that in the text file, but it seems to change every time I read it!
Oh, one other bug. You can get coins while you’re in the air, ABOVE THEM.

Message edited. By the way, is there any way to get back to the menu from the cheats area other then F2? It seems that cheats only work after you discover them, and I can’t find any ways to get back to the menu that don’t UNDISCOVER them. Makes it hard to see what the cheats do..[This review has been edited by Violet CLM]

This has a good lay out, good weapon placement and good eyecandy. Unfortunately, this level suffers from the endless trouble of Low Detail. As I have said before, if you are going to make something in low detail, make it ALL in low detail, not just parts which the tileset doesn’t have pieces for.
However, other then that, YaY.

Edit: I might lower my rating if you removed the coin warp, actually. If you spread more silver coins throughout the level, and made the warp a 50 coin one, I might even raise it.

Let’s see…. this would be…. the fourth Marbela conversion I’ve seen? Maybe the fifth, even.

The Marbela tileset is mainly a copy of the one included with JJ2, with a mainly fixed mask. The author tried to add some tiles, but they don’t really fit onto other tiles. (The \- -/ tiles are merely upside down, and thus don’t work.)
The Deserto one is in my opinion better. I’ve been waiting for a deserto conversion, you see, being too lazy to do it myself.
The Rainforest is also ok. However, the masking is Paticularly bad here. None of the masking jobs are exactly perfect, but this one takes the cake.

Looking foward to levels using these, except for Marbela. I’m quite sure there are better conversions of it.

Well, I like this. It has some tiles I couldn’t find, though.

Anyway, I’m undecided on a rating for this. I’ll probably come back and rate it… some other time.

Yes, I don’t have the tileset for #2 either. But I’ll just assume it’s the same quality as the rest of them.

These are too small to be any fun for normal battles, and too big for micro battles, and the ammo is bad.

Except every one is amazingly easy. However, I love the thing at the start where one shot will get you infinite points, how many depending on how long you stick around.
(Unsupported rating removal edit. ~Violet)[This review has been edited by Violet CLM]

First, let me compliment you on your music choice. The level and music complemented eachother perfectly. Both amazingly boring. Hmmm, that wasn’t a compliment, was it?

I can’t rate the tileset, as this wasn’t uploaded as either tileset or multiple, but I do say it had terrible masking. It also, in my opinion, could have been used better.

Hardly any of the crates take anything more then finding an entrance and going through a maze which low detail can generally show you the way through. Because of this, I was HAPPY when I had to jump across four or five little platforms to hit a crate! Totally rudimentary, but it was such a breath of fresh air!

Well, down to the normal stuff.

Eyecandy:
Many of the tiles are ok, except for the ones you drew yourself. Some of the handdrawns are fine, but most just clash with the copied “beauties”. There’s no background eyecandy, like mountain ranges. This is probably due to all the speed 1 layers used.

Gameplay:
Let me just say this level shouldn’t be downloaded for the gameplay.

Weapons/Enemy Placement:
This not being a level where they are needed for things other then tests, I won’t really rate this spot.

Music:
The music lasts what, seven seconds before restarting?

Tileset use:
Could use some work.

All in all, because of the brief shining moments of quality, I’ll give this a 5. Only slightly below average.

Edit: I have played it again, and it’s not quite so bad as I made it out to be.[This review has been edited by Violet CLM]

Wow. I like this. Not just boring old 6.5 like, but like like.
Edit: Well, not so much anymore, but I still do.

The arrangement of the tiles is good, (idiot proof, as someone once said) the artwork on the tiles is good as well. Indeed, one of the few things that lowers this rating is the Masking.
Edit: Now the textured background is bad too. Great “fix”.
The devils and spike chains don’t seem to have modified masks, and neither do those funky blocks that double as both destructable and moving scenery. And in my opinion, background mountain ranges and the like should always have hidden mask messages. Remember that next time. :P
Edit: Ok, the devils and the moving/destructable blocks are fixed. However, other things have worse masking then before. (Especially the mountain ranges) Not to mention you could have really done a better job with the Devils’ masking.

Anyway, this tileset is well done, with good artwork, and tile choice. The stuff with the glowing balls that can be removed from their sockets and replaced somewhere else leads to a widevariety of puzzles, I’d say, the one springing to mind the most being key/lock.
Edit: Cows.

Download this. I dare you.
Edit: Yeah, still do.

(By the way, Mirrow, there’s a bug in the Battle example level. The long sucker tube. Go in it and you’ll see what I mean.)
Edit: You still haven’t fixed it.

Edit: Rating sucessfully decreased .5 points. Just like >CelL<. Much can be learned from him.[This review has been edited by Violet CLM]

This is bad. Don’t download it.
(Unsupported rating removal edit. ~Violet)[This review has been edited by Violet CLM]

Well, I reviewed this fast. :P
This level, in my opinion, isn’t all that good. CelL, I believe you are making levels at such a fast rate you don’t spend much time on quality any more, just quanity.
Now, I don’t like Jazzed Realm all that much, but even so, this level didn’t use it very well.

Too many Xmas presents…. brain overload…. rating decreased due to system error, not to mention the overall not very good quality of day level. Review ended, statement = true.
(Unsupported rating removal error. ~Violet)[This review has been edited by Violet CLM]

Nooooooooo, not another one! :P

Actually, it’s very easy to reach the Seeker powerup with a VERY SIMPLE buttstomp.

As for the level and tileset, neither of them are really excellent.
(Unsupported rating removal edit. Nowadays this is a cool tileset. ~Violet)[This review has been edited by Violet CLM]

Personally, I don’t like this. Practically no detail whatsoever.
(Unsupported rating removal edit.~Violet)[This review has been edited by Violet CLM]

I just hate it how you can work on things so fast.
(Unsupported rating removal edit. ~Violet)[This review has been edited by Violet CLM]

Interesting. However, as someone said, those STOP signs in the Town level were rather annoying. I also didn’t like the Waterfall much at all, and I don’t go in much for water levels.
Still, these are all mostly good levels. I’ll give you a 7.4, like SPLASH here, and remove .3 for the bad language in the readme.[This review has been edited by Violet CLM]

Lol. This is the funniest upload I’ve seen in a while, and that gets you extra points.

The whole level has you on a skateboard, skateboarding around on jumps and stuff. Plus, silly text events are added to help the general feeling. The bad part is the tileset.

It’s mostly tiles from 7th Lava Fall, by Dethman of ML. There are also some funny screenshots of colored rabbits, in excellect poses. But I think you didn’t upload the most recent version of the tileset, because there are lots of those tiles that are just two pure white lines forming a right angle. A frog can not move while on top of one, and you have froggy going on one. -1.0

I give you a 7.0 for the sheer feel/humor of it all, and -0.3 for the copied 7th Lava Fall tiles. :-D

Geeze, Gargoyle, you are NOT supposed to rate the level! Unless this is uploaded as Multiple, it is an Example Level, and is NOT to be rated! sigh

Anyway, this tileset looks good. There are certainly some places where things look wrong though. Also, it gets so confusing as you go down it’s not going to be easy to make a good level with it. Let alone a level. Maybe some level gods can, but not me.
There are also a few animations that I don’t like too much, and while the brown Jazz looks good on Jazz, it sort of doesn’t on other things using the same colors. Birdy, for instance.
All right, you can arrest me now. I complained about one of Agama’s tilesets.

Barf.
Yes, you heard me. Not literally, you understand, but theoretically. Hail to technology.

This level consists of NOTHING other then running around destroying crates. Not a single ounce of anything else. No obstacles, no nothing. The story boosts it up to a 5 however.
(This level is still bad, but unsupported rating removal edit for me. ~Violet) [This review has been edited by Violet CLM]
