Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Like Superjazz said, happy birthday. =D Great animations, and the tileset isnt too hard to use! Extremly good, in the way that the tileset isnt missing anything, (unlike some i dont like to mention). Good it has an example lvl, and music, and 3 different tilesets, very interesting tileset, It has all the tiles i would need. there are many things for all layers.i plan to use this in the future! =D.. keep it up!

Happy birthday to you…Blur

But now onto review.

———————————————

TILE AMOUNT / USEFULNESS
Yes, there is quite big choice of tiles which to use, and they are quite handful and look fine. Nothing else to add…Maybe something very little lacks or some things could have been done better that I would give 10, but 9 is fine also. Maybe some destruct scenery, etc.
9/10

GRAPHICS / EYECANDY
It’s fine but I would have wished for more background-eyecandy stuff, like mountains or desert.
9/10

TILE LINKING
This is perfect! This doesn’t seem to lack any kind of a tile like a bottom of a floor for an example.
10/10

ORIGINALITY
Some tiles look some about the disguise-tileset type and the turret idea also. It’s fine but not really original idea. I give this 8 in this case.
8/10

EVENT STUFF
I saw hook, vine and something else like this. But I waited for some more of animating tiles and lack of hurt-events I also noticed. I know as the blur said that this is basically meant for multiplayer-levels, like ctf, battle but there could be some kind of them anyways.
8/10

REALIZATION
It looks quite nice and it really involves me into the tileset like I would really be there, it doesn’t look so silly that I would be so confused. But how about this wind then?
9/10

+ OR – EXTRA POINTS

-1 No readme or another kind of information
+1 Example levels
+1 Three types of tilesets

OVERALL: 52:6=8.67~8.7
TILESET RANK: Good tileset
DOWNLOAD RECOMMENDATION: Probably yes, this can be useful.

ENDING COMMENTS: Nice tileset! I think that I’m gonna use this tileset some time and others also. Once more, happy birthday for you and your tileset. Unfortunately I don’t have a present for you. ;P
It looks like I would be able to build some kind of modern castle as this is a fortress, and windy one.
PS. YAY!!! Doom-sound effects in the music you included in this pack for the battle level. r0x!

Its a good tile set. VERY good for your first one but I even after seeind all the example levels I still have a hard time figureing out how I could put a level together with it.

Eyecandy
Good. The feel looks like some sort of space station or perhaps space platfoms like what they have in starcraft. Just a bit to dark. Oh yeah and the earth in the back round is also cool.

Masks
No complaints here. I didn’t get stuck and it still looks good. I also liked the fore ground you had. I add a certin flavor

Animation
All good animations. Blinking lights, and fans. All the strentghen the fact that is orbiting earth.

overall
Good job. You earn a star :D

C’mon people. This is what real platform-jumping games really should be! Dying when falling into a pit. These levels were really impressive. I didn’t find the first 3 levels nowadays so difficult that I even should have cheated in them, but I had to save plenty of times before some hard sections. These 4 levels were difficult but not impossible for me, except I had to cheat in the 4th level’s puzzle. I had no idea on how to solve that if trigger crate is behind two rocks from teh thingy..
Then the last level was a total mess.
There all you need is really good timing. Normal platform jumping was still just a normal challenge in the 5th level, but after the freezing sucker-tube, the challenge got really difficult. I had to get 15 coins from crates. The worst thing was that the coins turned into gems instantly if I didn’t break the crate correctly and didn’t get the coin in time. So, I didn’t continue from the coin-collecting section forwards anymore..I wonder what was at the end. I would actually been able to complete this level also, if the load-thingy wouldn’t run out of memory when saved after 3 times in this level. That sux.

I’m really waiting for full version and which wouldn’t have so hard levels as 5th level of this demo was. I’m not sure what I would give about this demo if I even would be able to rate, but I will think for the rating number of the full version as it comes. Doh, sure I will also play it before I rate, but if I may not cheat in any case.. :o

We’ll see…Good demo![This review has been edited by Superjazz]

These levels are censored hard. All of them were pretty good, but I kinda disliked the last one. I’m not a fan of space tilesets.

If I could rate this level (if it wasn’t a demo) it would easily get a rating well over 8.

an great survivor pack blurredD.

1-good new levels!
2-good bugs fix.
3-good eyecandy!

an 9.7 from me!

I must say blurredD its great! well done.

nice ex-levels, but there the same ( duh…. )
dis tileset just need an 9.5.

I’m really shocked. I don’t have many words for a FIRST tileset like this..
So read the other reviews ;P

i must say this tileset is great blurredD nice battles to.

(Rating removal. Review must be at least three lines. -Trafton)[This review has been edited by Trafton AT]

This tileset is good enough to fi into the same rating levels as for Disguise and Agama. Was it REALLY your first tileset…wow!

Hey BlurredD, I said I would download this and I did :), defiantly NOT disappointed.
I totally love all the special effects from the intro level onwards, the special effects are just wicked and really make the levels worth playing

The game play rules as well, its very hard even on easy but I’m gonna spend time on it and try and complete it without cheats! [no way could I do it without saving lol]

Things I like:
Its damm original
Cool special effects
Excellent game play
The train level :D
Its a good challenge to test your jazzy skills.

Things I don’t like:
Its not finished :)

If I was to rate this I would give it 9.5 as I just love this pack

I really hope you finish this as it just rules! I would recommend all to download and have a play.

After a while, I wasn’t expecting this download to get another review ever again.

Stijn aka Fl@$h: Looking back (and after playing some of the levels that would’ve gone into the full version), I have to agree with you on a lot of points. Yeah, they’re probably too hard for their own good, though I wouldn’t go as far as saying they are outright “bad” (that comment still stings a little, but I see your point). I would add a lot more text sign hints and warnings as well as remove excess pits and traps if I ever decided to fix up these levels. I’d need much more encouragement before that happens, though. Anyway, I appreciate the brutal honesty in your review, Stijn.

Previous comments:

I wasn’t going to say anything for a while, but Killerrabbit just got on my bad side. If I had to guess, either you didn’t play all of it or you cheated through most of the levels. I don’t know how this could get a 7.2 for gameplay if jumping from platform to platform is half of the challenge (as in a lot of SP packs) and I did say it would be hard. I don’t know if you played the 4th and 5th levels, but I couldn’t focus on using a lot of pits as the only challenge (as you can clearly see). There are a few puzzles here and there which you somehow seemed to miss entirely. Maybe you should play the entire pack again. If you find it boring, then you’re not one of the people who like a good challenge. And no scenery change? It might not be too drastic in these levels, but it is noticable. So, if you can actually do a much better job with “changes in scenary” then be my guest and show me up. I’d like to see what you can do in JCS.

But I digress. I shouldn’t be too angry. I neglected to add one warning: 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. These levels weren’t made so that just anyone could be able to beat them.

mikeejimbo: Annoying intro? Maybe because of the short delay at the start or the abrupt level change at the end, but I neglected to fix that before I uploaded the pack (and the latter isn’t easily fixable). I haven’t seen anyone make an intro playble in JJ2 nearly as innovative as the one I made. I was planning on making an entirely different intro for the full pack in any case (and hopefully I’ll find an even better way of doing it).

Inf. Spaz: The 4th and 5th levels might be more like other SP levels, but that’s only because those are less linear. But I did add some interesting challenges to those levels which I have never seen quite like this before in any other pack (the puzzle in the 4th level, for example). And adding vertical play to the first 3 levels wouldn’t make them any more fun to play—just longer. BTW, if you could name several of these train levels that you say you have plenty of, it would be greatly appreciated.

On a side note: Play on Easy mode if you’re having a lot of problems trying to beat the levels. Easy mode is almost like Normal in the typical SP pack. I even added an extra save point in the 4th level, just to let you know.

IMO i think this demo is pretty difficult, yet boring, not really any change in the scenery, just pits and thats it. Nothing special.

Music: Not bad

Gameplay: 7.2 Its rather difficult to jump from platform to platform without falling and dying

Eyecandy: 7 Not anything special, but not bad

Originality: 8 its really good the way you thought of this.

Overall: Its ok, download recomedation for those people who like SP levels that have a bit of a challenge and a little boring :P

Overall i give this a 7.5[This review has been edited by KILLERRABBIT]

@ BlurredD i didnt cheat on any of it, except supreme fast fire for my toaster >)But i never liked it that much, sorry about blowin up at ya and i played all the levels, and i found it boring so i skipped the rest and end.[This review has been edited by KILLERRABBIT]

I like this. ;p You can do lots of stuff with this… make gloomy caves with waterfalls, make it at night time with rain, or make it in the day time… Download reccomendation.

Uhhh, I don’t think its right to rate a demo but if I were to rate it I would give it a 9.0

The first level completly stunned me, it was a brand new concept and I was expecting much more of this pack just after that first pit. Sadly, the levels to come didn’t shock me that much. The second level was a standard train level, I have plenty of these. The 3rd level on the otherhand, that really shocked me. A floating rock, heh I felt like I was in a mario game. The 4th level was kind of blah nothing new here, same with the 5th level, but still, it was a great level pack.

Pros-
DIFFICULT.
Some original stuff.
All around great level design.

Cons-
It didn’t meet up to the bar that the first level set.
Lack of vertical play in some levels.

my rating is removed.
if dis an demo its very big.
if i may give an rating i will give an 9[This review has been edited by dx dc]!

please hurry![This review has been edited by dx dc]

This was really cool. i have never saw something like this before.

Hoops! i forgot rating number.

And i want admit that i cant wait until the full version of this comes out!!

(Rating removal edit. Please do not rate demos. -Trafton)[This review has been edited by Trafton AT]

The intro was kind of annoying, I must admit.

I won’t review this yet, because I haven’t played it too much.
