Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Hmmm. I don’t really know how to rate this. It just adds in some gun shot sounds. They are not in any particular order, they aren’t on beat or anything. This might be good to use in levels, but I wouldn’t use it. This should be very effective when used with Toxic Bunny’s famous WarTorn tileset.

And whoooooooa! All of a sudden, there are way too many gun shots. Ouch.

Jeez.

These levels are 8×8 each. Most have no backgrounds. They suck…
They suck.[This review has been edited by labratkid]

As I played through this, I thought, “Not bad.” Well, as I finished, my rating went from a 7.0 to a 6.0, because it’s very short. The eyecandy is decent, but needs to be made better, and the enemy placement is perfect, making a good challenge, and there is food and weapons. But, it’s short. Short, short, short. And JJ2 crashes afterwards.

Nice tileset. Plenty of detail put into simple blocks. If Blur didn’t make a Survivor level with this yet, I’m sure there will be one in his next Survivor pack.

Nice level by Snooz… it’s rather Spaz biased, but not too bad. There is no background or foreground eyecandy, which isn’t good, and I think there should’ve been at least 1 weapon powerup. This is a good level, though.
See Waz’s review.

Party bunny, I hate to break it to you, but this level is medium sized… that doesn’t make it good. It has bad gameplay, no eyecandy, and is boring.
The end.

Keep trying. Spend time on your levels. The average time I spend on my medium sized ones is 7 – 8 hours. If you don’t have 7 – 8 hours, spread them out across long periods of time – let’s say a month. Most levels made by the masters of level making take at least a month. This level, and the Mario 3 Battle probably didn’t take more than a half hour, or maybe an hour. If you are not willing to spend a lot of time on levels, JCS is probably not your thing.

What can I say? This level is bad.

Good stuff:
The Layer 8 tiles fit together.

Bad stuff:
Shields. ahsdadkjhfdlfjlkdsfjflkjd!
Boring.
Mazy.
Yes.

Sorry, but this is very bad. The gameplay seriously sucks – which is why I didn’t give you higher.

This is a nice level, with good eyecandy and all. It’s very fun to play. Sorry for a short review. Download this.

Foo, this is Paint Shop Pro 6, not paint.

Waz is a lot like me. He makes really solid levels in short amounts of time.

This level uses Waz’s own tileset, and is good all around. Layer 5 and 6 look funny though because they look like they have an Auto-X speed sometimes while you are moving. Kind of weird looking. Download reccomendation, all.

Everything Violet said goes for my review. Too linear!!!!

This is a surprisingly good tileset. It looks a lot like many of Skulg’s tilesets (for example, Death Metal, and Lava Lamp). It’s a very simple and small tileset with minimal animations, but so were most of Skulg’s. I would rate this higher if you put in some animations besides that alien thing.

Hey, this is not a beta. Also, this is a demo – but not a demo as in a beta. A demonstration demonstrating some advanced features of JCS that are unused. It shows how having little enemies and lots of hazards can make a hard level. This level is harder than most, actually. Review will come later, I have to get on the bus soon >.<[This review has been edited by labratkid]

I doubt this is the best, since it doesn’t use Hotel Dream or True Rabbit Hotel… it won’t look nice if it doesn’t use them. Anyway, upload the tileset so I can have a look, anyway, since I review just about everything.

Bad eyecandy, awful gameplay, boring, and just bad. I’m sorry but I can not give this a good rating.
That’s all there is to say.

To help the eyecandy, resize the layer 8 and make it 4×4. That will work.[This review has been edited by labratkid]

Okay, I do not care if you are 9 years old. Download my level, Crystalis. I made that when I was 9, going on 10. Rated 6.3.[This review has been edited by labratkid]

I’ll let you off this time since you are making edits of default levels.
Now, when I extract this, I am going to have to delete all of Mikeejimbo’s levels that I was trying to beta-test because they have the same filename, and I’m going to have to delete all the single player shareware levels I all ready have because you didn’t change the filename. So I created a new folder and ran them manually.
Making me do this work is all ready a bad thing.

New.j2l
Pros
Traces of good eyecandy here and there.
The author knows how to use water effectively, something I didn’t learn for a while in my level making campaigns.
Some effort.
Good for a new level maker.
Cons
Bad eyecandy.
Bad weapons / enemy placement.
Short.
Boring.

New1.j2l
Oh my. Oh my, oh my.
Pros
None.
Cons
There are 4 tiles used here in all – 3 of which are shootable tiles.
It’s a maze level underwater. I hate these :(
It would put a kid with insomnia in a European ghetto in 1939 during an air raid by the German army to sleep pronto. Lucky me I’m not too tired.
Short.
Short.
Short.
Shor— oops, I all ready said that =)
Bad enemy placement, bad ammo placement.
Too many.

New2.j2l
Better.
Pros
Not linear.
Not quite as boring.
Good eyecandy here and there… actually, in one or two places.
Still boring.
Cons
Short
Bad eyecandy
Etc.

I’m not reviewing the other levels because they are WAY too similar to the originals. My review is based on your levels only.

Overall
Pros
Some effort here and there.
Not linear.
Cons
Bad eyecandy.
Short.
Etc.

Sorry, no download reccomendation. Put more effort into your levels. Download a good single player level, and look at it – look at what makes a single player level good.
To make a good single player level.
1.) Make it long.
2.) Make it original.
3.) Make it hard, but not TOO hard.
4.) Put in skill level settings.
5.) Put in funny text messages :-)
6.) Put in food, but don’t overdo it!
7.) Put in gems.
8.) What am I saying? Read some articles in the articles section.

Keep practicing…….

Not to be mean or anything, but…
WHY DID YOU UPLOAD SOMEBODY ELSES WORK EDITTED WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION!?!?!?!?!?

Level 1
This is the level, Carrot Cream, but you decided to give it a make over, just so it’d be hard to recognize. Well, you know what? I regonized it. And this is not your work.

Level 2
I’ve never seen this level elsewhere, but it’s still very bad. Bad eyecandy, too short…

Level 3
Better, but still bad.

Level 4
Bad, short, bad.

Pros
SOME effort…
Sort of good for a beginner.
Cons
The first level is NOT your work!!
Bad eyecandy
Awful enemy placement.

If you’re going to make a level, please make it your own level with your own ideas – you copied the level, Carrot Cream, and I know it – you took out the credits for the original carrot cream, too. THe place with the sucker tube and the green gems was the place where the REAL people were credited. So in hopes of us not finding out it’s not yours, you deleted them.

cough Plagurism.

Conversions from first person shooters never come out good because one wall tile from that game takes about 8 – 10 on JJ2, so you have to align everything PERFECTLY. It’s no different with this. I won’t rate it because you didn’t even make it a .j2t, there is no mask, and nothing to do but look at a .bmp. I’ll rate if after you make a mask and create a .j2t.

The compressed folder is invalid or corrupted.

This level is very nice. The eyecandy is pretty good (okay), the weapons placement isn’t TOO bad (it’s not THAT good…). There are some gameplay bugs here and there, but it’s a good download.
