Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Hey BlurredD, look at Violet CLM’s Crysilis V pack and play the third example level, that Marbelara-ish one. If you do the same thing he did in the final part (setting Y speed of layer 5 to -1 and adding all things that have to be in layer 4) will be great with your flipped tilesets.

The pallettes look awesome. But still, Psych is a VERY HARD to use it and understand. But still, as a conversion you did a good job.

Desolation is the perfect competitor for the old tileset “7th lava fall” :D

Cool. Cool. And cool. :)
Recommended? Of course!

One of the best tilesets I’ve ever seen. It has some good tiles and I like those numbers and letters,really unique for a normal tileset (You usually find letters only in hotel tilesets). Good job.

WoooooooooooooooW

[Quick review. ~cooba]

This tileset has a very high standard of drawing. Although this tileset may appear easy looking at the tileset layout, this is one of the hardest tilesets ever as it requires the hand of a master to use at a high standard. A lot is possible with this set, so those with some JCS skills looking for something to be creative with should try this.

Cool set. I think you worked hard, so I
ll give you a 9.

I think its coool. Good work!

i really love this game

Such a shame that no one has rated this pack yet.

The levels are all laid out well – what you’d expect in a Blur level. Eyecandy and everything else really, is also well taken care of and tbh there isn’t really anything to complain about here.

This is one of the few utilities released for JJ2 that really add some new functions that makes the game interesting to play for many more years. And on the other hand it makes the ‘normal’ game types like CTF much easier to understand and manage. Great job, techie programmers of the community!

I find “If you find it too hard to beat or if you had to cheat a lot to get past all of the levels, don’t bother reviewing this pack.” a pretty stupid argument. Levels are supposed to be fun, and when they are not fun any more because they’re just too damn impossible to beat they’re bad, it’s as simple as that. Of course, when an inexperienced player doesn’t manage to solve a puzzle or beat a level it’s a different story, but I consider myself experienced enough to have the skills necessary to play through a fair single player level.

The levels in this demo, however good they may look, commit the 3 worst crimes a JJ2 single player level can commit:

1. They contain enemies that are impossible to avoid.
2. Expecting the player to do things they do not know they need to do.
3. Having a GIANT difference in difficulty between playing with Spaz and playing with Jazz.

For example, in the first level, I did not understand what the pits were about, so I jumped in them, expecting to land on another platform. Wrong! Instant death. Okay, lesson learned, on to the next part. At a certain point in the level one needs to jump from a treetop down to a small hole in the trunk near the bottom of the level. Problem is, there is no way the player can know he needs to jump into this hole until he has actually jumped, because the spot is invisible beforehand. And because it is invisible, I expected jumping down would make me land safely on a platform since there didn’t seem to be any other possibility.

The rest of the levels are full of problems like this. Very nice concepts such as the “time trial” thing involving a sugar rush, in the “Flames of Fury” level, are ruined because you can only find out what you are actually supposed to do by failing first. When I then found out that I needed to complete a certain part of the level within the 20 seconds a sugar rush lasts, I managed to get to the “normal” part of the level only to find edge after edge which you need to jump down from onto a out-of-sight platform full of enemies which you just can’t avoid because you haven’t seen them yet.

A lot of the levels have great parts in which you are required to jump from platform to platform, and missing a jump spells instant death. However, as Jazz’s helicopter ear ability gives you far more time to manoeuvre yourself to the right spot, playing the levels in this pack with Jazz is a zillion times easier than playing it with Spaz. At the same time some parts or jumps are just plain impossible without a doublejump. Another apparent oversight.

Anyway, I could go on for a while like this. It’s really too bad that the bad parts greatly overshadow the good parts. The levels do indeed look extremely good, and they do indeed contain innovative concepts and puzzles. Problem is, they’re just not fun too play. Between all fancy stuff you’ll just end up frustrated because you constantly get hurt or killed without being able to do anything about it. And that’s why these levels are, indeed, bad.

Love it! Perfect I think! Great mask, tiles and animations! Good exapmle levels! Love it!

nice tileset.. i already used it for my example to xlm ;D
most because its high quality much different tiles like grass + industrial – moon
just everything what a tileset needs even the events like vine + poles are in it :D
pallette is nice i can almost every tile in layer 8 as 3D background without bleeding.
Desolation PWNS you all XD

Quite simply, this is just THE BEST tileset I have ever seen this year.
The eyecandy is EXCELLENT! The mix of nature and industrial works really well here. Also, the tiles taken from other sets including Redcounter really fits in.

9.8, just because the flames aren’t masked but you can get round that by slapping on some “Bees” events.

I must say this tileset has it all and is very compatible in in many ways. One of the best tilesets i’ve seen since Agama’s tilesets. I hope to use this tileset in one of my future levels and make good work of it. I recommend everyone to download it as it is a must. I’ll rate it a 9.5 as it deserves it.

Good tileset.
