Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

If you’re going to make an edit of battle 1, make it… hey, wait, don’t make one at all, unless you’re getting rid of the shield or making it so if it’s a laggy server that doesn’t have respawn.exe, you can get up to the fast fires, and the deleted shield without using a copter (I did this once). Anyway, all this does is put a spring somewhere, that shoots you to the stop of the level, where there is just a bunch of linear and ugly areas covered up by layer 3. I’m taking off points to begin with because it’s an edit. This is awful, though.

Eyecandy – Bad
At least there’s a background… the sprite layer and layer 3 eyecandy suck too bad, though.
Gameplay: Very bad
Yuck. Jazz can barely get around it, and Spaz has a hard time, too.
Flow: Very bad
Bad flow… spring placement sucks.
Ammo: Very bad
This is the first ‘very bad’ ammo placement I’ve issued. This is pretty darn bad.
Layout: Very bad

Download reccomendation: No.
Host this often: No.
Overall: No. Very bad. Try harder next time, and focus on the gameplay. No offense to your beta testers, but have people who are good at level making test your levels, because if you take advice from someone whose not good, what good is the advice?

Read my review for the first one. It’s basically the same.
The only difference here is that there are some new tiles, none of that are particularly useful.
I’m not adding anything for the trees glowing, because that was unintentional of you.
Water in 8bit does NOT work; I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Anyway, my review is the same as the one for version 1, but since there are new tiles, I’ll give you +.2 points because I’m nice.

I completely agree with 007.

Ugggggly. Baaaaaad. Buggggggy. Shooooort.

Eyecandy: Very bad
Not much. What is there is disgusting and nauseating.
Gameplay: Very bad
Gameplay: Where? What gameplay?
Bugs: Very bad
You get stuck A LOT.
Enemies: Very bad
Bad enemies placement.
Size: Very bad
Small, linear, yucky, bleh, blah, bloo, bleep, bah, boh, odsfdhfsdojkfskdhf.
Overall: Very bad
Download reccomendation: Noooooooooooo.

Average level. The eyecandy is ALL MOST acceptable, but there are a few several tile bugs, and there is NO BACKGROUND. DX, I’ve told you a million times to put backgrounds. This time, I’m taking off .5 points, because you don’t listen. Bad listeners don’t get rewarded. The enemy placement is ALL MOST acceptable, but it’s very easy. Your levels seem to be flooded with tuf turtles, for the sole purpose that they are hard to beat. You don’t strategically place the enemies, DX, like I’ve told you before. People review your levels to GIVE YOU ADVICE. I’m probably wasting my time now, anyway, telling you all this, because you don’t listen to a THING people tell you. What’s the point of reviewing if you don’t listen? Pretty soon, I’m going to stop reviewing your levels, if you don’t take advice. And, stop with the personal attacks. Anyway, no download reccomendation. Average level.

Yay for overrating.

Eyecandy: Bad
The eyecandy is bad. Most of this level is done “cave” style, so the author wouldn’t have to bother to put in a background. A lot of it is just blocks, too. Whatever the case is, there’s not enough, and what is there, is ugly.
Gameplay: Bad
Bad.
Weapons: Bad
Bad weapons placement.
Enemies: Bad
Bad enemies placement… very easy.
Overall: Too short… ugly… bad gameplay…
Download reccomendation: No.

This is 1.24. Anyway, you can’t host this in race mode, because you can’t turn into a frog in race mode. You can only host it in COOP. That doesn’t work, either, because you didn’t make a coin based exit. You should get a coin every time you exit, and then when you have 3 coins, you are warped to the exit. Then, it would work.
Eyecandy is good… but overdone. It all revolves in layers 3 – 5. There is no background. How many times do I have to tell you to put backgrounds in your levels? ;p
Now, the gameplay isn’t too fun. The frogs aren’t fast enough… it’s not very fast paced, or anything, so it’s not fun.
The level’s too small, too.
Overall: Okay
Download: No
Host this often: Maybe once or twice just for fun… but not because it’s a very good level.

I strongly dissagree with Mikee. And, I must say, I never thought I would live to the day when I rated a level higher then DX ;) Here you have a good handful of lovely, huge, very hard single player levels.
THE BEACH LEVEL
Great level; maybe the hardest one. Good eyecandy, and fun gameplay… a great challenge, overall.
THE MEDIVO LEVEL
Another wonderful level. Very nice to look at, too. Really original… my favorite one.
THE DIAMONDUS LEVEL
This is what saves the level from getting a 9.2. Jazz really can’t beat this level unless you know how to do the golden jump, and not everyone knows how to do it. The eyecandy here is a bit overdone, too.
THE censored LEVEL
A very hard, and original. Also the boss level. It frusturated me to the point where I was ripping out my hair. ;p
THE CARROTUS LEVEL
I must say, I don’t remember this one. I just remember that there was a place with springs.

Download reccomendation: Yes.
Own Mikee’s review: Yes. ;p
Play this again: Sure.

Mikee, if you’re going to be dropped into a pit, the author is testing your reflexes of buttstomping enemies quickly from above. Falling into spikes is your own fault ;)[This review has been edited by labratkid]

Bah. Not so good. DX overrated this big time.
Eyecandy – Bad
Bad eyecandy… all though there is a background, and that’s all ways good. The eyecandy in other places if just annoying and ugly. Some tiles don’t go together.
Gameplay – Bad
Bad gameplay. Expect a boring time, especially if you’re Jazz. Frusturating, too.
Flow – Bad
Bad flow… the spring placement is annoying, and some places lack springs. Jazz can’t reach many areas, for example, on top of the floating building. Spaz can barely reach that, either.
Layout – Bad
Hideous layout.
Ammo placement – Okay
The ammo placement is merely okay… nothing good, though.
Size – Bad / okay
Not so good, but at least it’s A LITTLE big…
Host this often – Not a chance… it’s 1.24, anyway.
Download – No.
DX: Rate everything 1.0 points lower than you would normally rate them, and your ratings will be far more reasonable. Also, look at the gameplay… don’t rate levels high just because they look neat, or your friends made them, or you beta tested it. GAMEPLAY is everything. Flow, etc. The level has to be enjoyable and easy to get around in for good gameplay. I never see you look at the gameplay when rating.

My favorite level. I’m the one who has to overrate this time, but that’s probably because DX DC hasn’t reviewed this ;p Anyway, great flow, great layout… the best ever. The eyecandy is very good, and the ammo placement is very unique. In fact, it started a whole era of mass groups of ammo among CTF levels. Great level.
Host this often: You bet.
Download: Yes.

Bleh.
Bad eyecandy, awful gameplay, a lot of bugs, you are prone to getting stuck, bad layout, bad flow, bad everything. No download reccomendation, but, nice try. You shouldn’t make a CTF level unless you have a lot of experience making levels. I tell everyone this. They don’t listen. When they don’t listen, they get 5.0’s.
Overall: Bad
Download reccomendation: No
Host this often: No

It’s not good at all. The slopes don’t fix together well, and there is no textured background. Pinball events, snow, water in 8bit, and poles do not work. The masking is not all that special. No eyecandy tiles. No animations. Just rather ugly. The only good thing is that the flat tiles fit together okay. No download reccomendation.

23.9 is mine, too =) My sister’s birthday is today (the 16th).[This review has been edited by labratkid]

Bjarni, it was too low… or atleast it was too low compared to the other reviews. That’s long enough.[This review has been edited by labratkid]

You know, DX, at your level, you should know that a good level needs good eyecandy, and good eyecandy needs background layers other then 8. You could’ve got away with no layers 5, 6, and 7 back when you were new at level making, but now there’s no excuse. The textured background is yucky, too. There is hardly any eyecandy in the sprite layer, either.
The gameplay is average… it’s hard, but it’s kind of crammed into one space, if you know what I mean. It’s also short. DX, you need to make your levels longer.
Another thing, a hard level doesn’t mean Tuf Turtles thrown around everywhere in a way so that you have to jump down to fight them, and you will all most all ways get hurt jumping down. Sure, that’s hard, but that’s not a real challenge. Your levels just have lots of baddies… Like the game, Will Rock. It has over 200 badguys in each level, but none are placed strategically. Try placing enemies where they’ll surprise you, or where you least want them. Put a stand monkey on a ledge above you, rather than just a bunch of bats below you.
Ammo placement is fine; there’s nothing wrong with it.
Overall: Okay
Download reccomendation: No.

Yes, you should make more levels. Just spend more time on them. If you have more than 3 levels on the recent uploads list, then that’s too many. You’re rushing your levels, and they’re too small. You’re also forgetting to put in background eyecandy. People give you advice all the time about size and backgrounds… you never take it.[This review has been edited by labratkid]

Eyecandy: Average
The eyecandy is okay, I suppose. There still isn’t much of it. The background is ugly, and there are no background layers other than 8, so it’s rather ugly.
Gameplay: Bad
The gameplay is bad. There isn’t enough jumping room, and the Rabbits Stink signs get in the way.
Flow: Bad
The flow is poor. The spring placement isn’t good, and like I said, the rabbits stink signs get in the way.
Layout: Bad
The layout is very annoying. Not good.
Ammo placement: Okay
Okay ammo placement… not too bad.
Overall: Bad / okay
Good try.
Host this often: Nope.

Bjarni, that’s overrating, and you will get ‘Traftoned,’ meaning he will own/pwn/censor/rating remove/etc. you. If you want, you can send your reviews to me and I’ll approve of them and tell you if they’re reasonable so you don’t risk getting warnings. [This review has been edited by labratkid]

Don’t upload hotels to J2O. There’s no point. Just host them, for crying out loud. No eyecandy here, boring gameplay, and it’s just… not good. Once again, this is overrated by Quotentia, Vera, and that other guy. Once again, I’m the guy who has to make the rating of this level fair.

Bad level. The eyecandy is boring, the gameplay sucks, and the ammo placement is also yucky. You have to run this by dragging the level to the executable. That’s bad. Short level, easy level… just bad. No download reccomendation.

I took the palette directly from the Medivo 2. I don’t know why it didn’t work. Anyway, I made this for the sole purpose that I was making a very slope based level with Medivo 2. I thought that if anyone was doing the same, I should upload this to J2O.

It’s just a masking fix, Bjarni. You can’t see any of the fixed things, other than the signs. If you look at the mask, the slopes now work fine.[This review has been edited by labratkid]

No.

I know. They are annoying me, too.[This review has been edited by labratkid]

How did you download this if you got a 404 error? The link is broken for me, too. People don’t know how to read directions, do they? >(
