Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

I see what you are doing… you’re releasing a pack level by level. Well, you shouldn’t do this, just to tell you. You should make all the levels you want in this “episode” and than release them all at once. Level packs generally get rated higher and downloaded more if you release all the levels at once, trust me on this. Are you making each one of these levels in one day? It sure seems like it, but they’re too good to be made in one day. Anyway.. the item and enemy placement was good in this level, and the eyecandy was a lot better than in your other levels, too. Keep up the good work, and you should just release the whole pack at once, like I said.

Never make tilesets 1.24 as it can easilly be avoided. Now only 1/4 of the people who could review and use this can.

Wow. Here’s something very new. If only more levels could be like this.

Eyecandy: Very good
The eyecandy is great. Very interesting. There are birds that fly by, good layer adjustment, nice background… nothing to complain about here.

Gameplay: Good
Gameplay is good. It’s easy to get around the level, but the level is very small… but since it’s meant for 3 on 3’s, it’s okay.

Bugs: N/A
Well, there is a bug. If you are on the red team (the bad guys), and if you select the bouncy bullet warrior guy, than you teleport right to the enemy flag as a starting position. This is a bug, I guess. But this is the only bug I found.

Ammo placement: Very good
Ammo placement is well balanced, and there doesn’t need to be much ammo, because each class starts out with ammo.

Everything else: Very good.
Very good. I don’t wanna write a long review, but this is really good, and I hope Trafton rights one of his super-mega reviews, because this is the kind of level that deserves one.

Guys, please transfer your reviews to the new version so this can be deleted. Thanks.

Pros…
1.) Decent size.
2.) Eyecandy isn’t too bad.
3.) Showed effort.

Cons…
1.) Very bad gameplay.
2.) Hard to navigate around.
3.) Little space to jump.
4.) Awful weapons placement.
5.) There’s a shield.
6.) Very confusing layout.
7.) Bad eyecandy.
8.) Etc.

There were more cons than pros, but these aren’t bad levels. They just have very bad gameplay. There isn’t a good “flow.”

Same as Violet here.

Now, most level makers would agree with me that Inferno is the single most hardest tileset to work with when it comes to eyecandy. In fact, all of them probably agree with me. Those who don’t agree with me, are, as Michael Jackson would put it, just ignorant. Now, the author, as you might know, has awful vision, so the eyecandy will obviously be bad. When somebody with bad vision picks a tileset that is hard for me to make good eyecandy with (I have 20, 20 vision), the eyecandy can lead to a major disaster. All though the eyecandy wasn’t as bad as I thought, a lot of it is awful. Now, when you shoot the frozen blocks, for some reason, there is a peice of terrain there for every one you shoot… it doesn’t even seem like it’s supposed to be there. I don’t know what’s going on there. The level had excelent gameplay, like the author’s other fine levels, and the enemy placement and ammo placement was well balanced. Like I said when I rated another one of this guy’s levels, you really can’t blame the bad eyecandy on him since when I squint my eyes really hard the level looks perfect. But I’m going to take off 0.5 points for this one just because the eyecandy was exceptionally bad, and because of the funny tile that shows up behind the frozen blocks when you thaw them. Guys, please review his levels. They are really good. Most people don’t like to review levels made by people who are new to Jazz Jackrabbit 2, but you should give them a chance. Especially this guy, who is better than most oldbies.
Download this, everyone =)

This test is too easy =P

Hmm. I suppose I shouldn’t rate on eyecandy because of your vision, but there weren’t too many eyecandy bugs. If I try squinting really hard while I play, making it seem like I have bad vision, they eye candy looks perfect, so it’s not the author’s fault. But, this is a great level. Everyone should download it =)

LoL, Overlord, that is ONE long cough :)

I don’t like this level too much. It’s very small for a race level, and it’s hard to navigate. It’s still good, though.

What can I say? Your levels are awesome. Absolutely wonderful.

Eyecandy: Very good
The eycandy is very good this time. There are 3 spots where it could’ve been better. One, is that when you shoot a knight’s head off, you see the brick background crumple down with it. The first tile in a animating tile is the original state. The second is what is there after you shoot it, and the third is what it looks like while it’s breaking. You put the knight with the bricks in the background for the third one, so it looked funny. There is a vine (rope) that doesn’t go all the way from one wall to another. It needed to be one tile longer. The last one I don’t remember :-p No, really, I forgot. :p

Enemy placement: Good / Very good
The enemy placement is good, but it was sort of easy.

Gameplay: Very good
Very nice gameplay, I had a lot of fun.

Bugs: N/A
No bugs :)

Ammo placement: Good
The ammo placement was good, but you stuck in too many weapon powerups. You shouldn’t do this, especially if it’s a short single level. There were 2 bouncy powerups and a freezer powerup that I found. 1 bouncy powerup would’ve done, if any at all.

Fun / replay value: Very Good
This was a fun 5 or 10 minutes and I might play this level again some time.

You should definetely download this. Just because you don’t know the author well doesn’t mean you shouldn’t give his levels a chance. Nobody downloaded my first levels, but now that people are familiar with me more, they download them and review them more.

Hey, you should make a battle or CTF level. People like downloading them more, and with your amazing level design skill, I bet people would host them.

I think Evil Mike, the master of level making, has some competition rolling in.

This is just as bad as your other levels. What the heck are you getting at, man, Levitt Town? (in case you don’t know, Levitt Town were the suburbs in 1950 where all the houses looked exactly the same.) EVERYTHING LOOKS THE SAME! Well, except for the furniure. What kind of hotel is this if it doesn’t have shops? Honestly, how do the people pick what they want in their rooms? Like somebody else said, this makes you wonder about people who play TSF, who would WANT the honor… I mean… despair… of having a room here.

Don’t download this after you just ate lunch :-p

I’ve never played Sonic, and I never intend to, but even so, this looks like it WOULD be a really good conversion. And by the way, Snooz, the tileset being hard to use isn’t Spaztic’s fault. It was a real tileset from another game. So, please don’t take off points for something the author couldn’t help, just like nobody took off points for the tiles in my Jetpack conversion being too big looking (they were originally 24×24 in the game, and I had to resize them, which made them look funny). Anyway, even if you don’t like Sonic, than you should download this. Hey, I’ve never played Sonic, and I may make a level with this.

Download reccomendation, definetely.

This is good but the eyecandy seriously stinks in the background. The tiles don’t go together, and the author stuck in little peices of adjacent tiles and didn’t bother to take them out. The vspeed is messed up so you can see the bottoms of the background. You’d be better off without it. The rest of the level is just fine. Good enemy placement, good ammo placement… good eyecandy in the sprite layer. Download reccomendation, but not for the eyecandy.

Again a battle, again a failure. This is bad. BAD.

Eyecandy: Very bad
There is no eyecandy, all though the author actually made a textured background, which isn’t bad. It uses the newb-level-maker-attracting Mez tileset or whatever it’s called, too.

Gameplay: Very bad
What gameplay?

Weapon placement: Very bad
An RF missle powerup and 3 crates of RF missles in a row.

Everything else that I could’ve written about but levels like this don’t deserve to get ratings for – Very bad.

Put effort into your levels. This level is huge, but just linear, and there is NOTHING… well, SOMETHING. But nothing good.

Edit, I felt too bad giving it a 1, so I gave you 1.5. Merry Christmas, I’m in a good mood. :-p[This review has been edited by labratkid]

This is an average level. It’s kind of small, though. You’d have a heck of a time trying to cram 12 players into here, let alone 4 players. The eyecandy was too much, no offense Violet. There IS a border line with eyecandy. When you start getting background layers confused with the sprite layer, than it’s too much. The eyecandy was very nice, but very intense. The rest of the stuff was kind of so-so. Okay weapons placement, and a good balance of secrets. Download reccomendation, I guess.

This is a good level but it’s very small for a single level. Eyecandy is good, and it’s original. Download rec.

What on earth is this? I can’t even explain what it is, the whole game is black and white, and I’m being taught how to do double jumps, yes, double jumps. I skipped about 10 levels later, and it was the same boring black and white stuff. What is this?

I’ll do the pros cons type review.

Pros…
It HAS a background! YAY!
Layer 4 and 8 are not the only ones used…
It’s not linear, but that doesn’t make it good.

Cons: error processing review due to length issues

(in other words, baaaad)
