Yes I can see how it would be useful….. for TESTS as you said, nothing else. But I see its a good conversion so a 7.5 for a good conversion. By the way Violet will be on your back again about using Epics graphics :D.

Downloading…

starting jj2…

starting level…

COOL! This is kinda nice level, so Mirrow has made the tileset. Sad that there is no Pepsi-sponsors Blue and red. So, because I haven’t created a Ctf rating-system for myself I couldn’t rate this fully, because I don’t play or review Ctf-levels usually, because I don’t like them very much. But this one was specially interesting and so I tested and rated it, and Seems that you have made this level well, I give this 7.7.

again ill be the critic of your levels i dont like the idea again with the coins how you have to get a certain amount to pass the level i say it would be better in a battle/race type level cause when theres not that many enemies, you need friends to beat up on (lol) boring level overall

i figure its time for me to be the critic for once, or twice, or whatever.
ok the first level was really annoying with the coins and all with too many items in the backround and the part at the end of the first level you can run too far and straight off the ledge and it freezes completely.
second level: bad enemy placement like too many in one place!
third level:it would be better if the water started right when you enter or go to the lower level! the song….er just doesnt fit and once again bad enemy placement and too many carrots makes it too easy unlike the first & second levels
fourth level: bad ammunitions placement and about the underwater part noone likes to go on a long hunt for gems unless its a compition and again too many carrots
last level:umm lights? with this level you could give someone a siezure or something other than that… good so lets have an overview

i can see you spent some time on this pack and from what ive seen its good but if you want to make it great or exelent, consider the following.. every great level is totally original like different tilesets and custom “tunes” that actually match the level OR are cool enough to make up for it. and if you want to know if it is hard enough, get a friend to test it like i do and see what he thinks because you cant change what you upload here once its done. ooh variety of weapons and enemies is a good one too but if this was your first level i can excuse you from most of those. so thats all i have to say to you Mr. Critic!!!

Pretty good. Nice adaptation to Jazz2

Good Stuff:
- accurate, detailed
- works well w/Jazz2
- complete, inclusive

Bad Stuff:
- a few serious mask errors (check arrow animation, boulder scenery)
- a few minor mask errors (Try smoothing things out- you never know what might happen that could get a player stuck in a wall.)
- 16×16-looking tiles clash somewhat with Jazz2 sprites, but it’s understandable

All in all, it’s a good tileset. With those few errors fixed, it might be great.

Seems that the xargon is a game, but at least, it’s unknown for me. Well tileset looked quite fine, and this is like a conversion, I give it an 8.

Sadly, my rating agrees more with BlurredD’s than the others. The layout is too platformish, and platform levels aren’t usually as fun and strategic as non-platformish levels. The ammo itself is a bit sparce and poorly placed. 4 powerups is also too much for this kind of level, and some of the powerups are a bit close together. I despise the carrot placement as well, only 2 +1 carrots which are both near the base. there is also one at the top, but it isnt noticable much. There are also fullenergies, but you can’t reach them. Eyecandy is alright. I don’t like the coin warp idea either. Instead of overflowing the level with silver coins, you can add some gold coins, but I’d reccomend to take out the coin warp. The CTF placement is alright.

My verdict is that the level is suffering from several flaws. Nothing here is really outstanding, and the level could use some improvement. This gets a 5.7 from me and ranks about average. Download reccomendation? Maybe..But I wouldn’t host this.

Yet another good one from labrat:

Challenge: It’s mazy creating pandemonium, a good thing on servers. Pandemonium is rare. .9/1.0

Theme: Clever, instead just red and blue, there’s coke and pepsi. 1.0/1.0

Size: It’s a fairly large level. 1.0/1.0

Eyecandy: Kinda bland. .5/1.0

Capacity: Good, but not enough for my liking. .7/1.0

Total: 4.1/5.0
Overall: 8.7/10.0[This review has been edited by Cazz NP]

Pepsi vs Coke? Right…

GAMEPLAY:

In a word, no. The level is a little hard to get around (especially with Jazz) and it has too many platforms in it. There were several small dead ends at the sides of the level. I could live with one or two, but there are just too many. And the coins are another problem. There are too many large clumps of coins, and to make things worse, all you get is some lousy food after going into the coin warp. Also, the thin layer of tiles that border the level in some places could allow for flag bug in laggy servers.

EYE CANDY:

I was forced to use Hardware Acceleration (already a bad sign). It may be a good idea to make tiles transparent, but when you make entire layers transparent, it’s never a good thing. Other than that, the eye candy is more or less average. And overall, I’m not too fond of it. I would blame the tileset if I were you.

CARROT AND AMMO PLACEMENT:

From what I can tell, there are three carrots that are accessible (one +1 carrot near each base and one near the top). There could be one more, but that certainly wouldn’t help. Then there are the full energy carrots near the top (which I’m assuming are unreachable) which are there either for eye candy or for taunting players. Either way, I dislike it. As for ammo placement, that wasn’t horrible, but not too good. What I disliked the most was the ice on the platform at 82,7 (I never really liked ammo touching solid tiles). The powerup placement is the most questionable, although it could be much worse.

HOST THIS OFTEN?

Probably not this lifetime. I’m giving this level a 6.

The Edit: While the updates were for the better, it doesn’t improve everything that needs improvement. And the transparent layers could have been a nuisance to many, but it’s not the biggest problem ever encountered. So in all, my new rating is only half a point higher.[This review has been edited by BlurredD]

Being a big fan of the UT version of this level, I downloaded it, hoping that it would live up to it’s name. I was very impressed. Although I am a little unsure why the readme is simply a blank .txt document… anyway, review time.

The eye candy is good. Not great, but this is mostly the fault of the tileset.
The level flow is excellent, not once did I find myself saying ‘argh, I have to uppercut to get up there’, and that is very nice. Fairly easy to get to where you want, quickly.
Weapon placement is nothing special..but not bad.
THE COIN WARP MADE ME SO MAD! only a bunch of pop?

overall, this is a very good level. I give it the rating of 9.0.
i definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a good, fun ctf experience.

First of all… it’s very handy. This is for the people that cant make Textures (look at me :p)So i give it a 7.7

(Rating removal. I am at a loss for why you gave a level 9.0 when you said 7.7. Normally, I let things like this slide if they are small. However, 1.3 is significant enough to require further interest. If you want to restore and/or correct your rating, feel free. -Trafton)[This review has been edited by Trafton AT]

Interesting. I never had the real original JetPack, but I have played spin-off games like it.

Good Stuff:
- accurate (I’m trusting the other reviewers here)
- easy to use

Bad Stuff:
- not practical for much in Jazz2

It’s always hard to rate the tilesets made to match other games :) . Well, I like the idea and the simplicity of the tileset, but the fact remains that I would never make a level with it. It’s like a “display model” -good for looking at, not for playing.
