Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

A very nice testing level with a few annoyances, but likely not the best ever. The first level, Training, is an example of a great training level. It’s simple, skill-based, and introductory, and prevents a smooth translation to the final tests. With the possible exclusion of “FOO,” these tests are all skill-based, which I really like. My only complaint is that the whole thing is a bit short, and the “Freeze” level can be aggrivating and you can cheat by going before the items reginerate if you are really lucky.

All and all, a great testing level and a definite download recommendation. But it still is only a test level, and is nothing amazing. Download recommendation for test fans and an overall 7.7 score. Yay.[This review has been edited by Trafton AT]

Great. Another cursed account.

Yet another nice CTF level from CelL using the Mez03 tileset. Nice job, CelL.

Download recommendation.

School Wars is an interesting level by Mr. Iam Canadian that is mainly focused upon a medium-sized school (nothing like the behemouth schools in MidN’s levels, though.) using School v2, an older version than the Tip-winning School v3 (10.0/10.0). This level is interesting, and I would say worthy of a download recommendation if you like school levels.

While I do have a soft spot for blowing up small yellow rodents, this level pack is hardly “pleasureful.”

It’s fun to do each activity once, but they quickly grow tedious. Sorry – no download recommendation, though the concept is very interesting.

Unfortunately, this remix has lost it’s enjoyable beats, as Moonblaze said. Keep trying, though.

This is an interesting level pack from Mr. Bjarni depicting what happens when you go to, well, a very warm place. His use of non-Inferno/D*mn tilesets is surprising, but they are used OK. Nice job, Bjarni!

This level pack is pretty good, but can be extrodinarily annoying if you are Spaz.

The level pack consists of several multiplayer levels, mostly races. All have ample eyecandy, but are a bit crazy. This is a quirky, but interesting pack.

Download if you like quirky, but interesting packs. ;-P

A very nice tileset if I do say myself.

The eyecandy in this tileset is interesting. The only part that annoys me is it being vertically-oriented. Other than that, it’s an outstanding tileset with some interesting levelmaking prospects.

Download recommendation.

A great level for one-on-one duels because it isn’t very big. It’s a high-quality level and a recommended download.

This reminds me of something I made ages ago, which I now despise.

Anyway, this level, which is actually titled “Suck, suck, and away” (or something like that) does in fact suck lots. That is, there are many sucker tubes. New areas have been added, but there is nothing notable. However, it’s still good for an edit, and I hope to see more non-edit levels from this author.

If you are going to upload something, upload something good.

And, the rating would have been a 1.5 if it wasn’t for the fact you cheated.

This is very bad.

The original seeker trainer had some use, this doesn’t.

Host this in treasure, and it might improve your game a bit. Still, playing online is best. A good effort, Mazinkaiser, although of bad quality.[This review has been edited by Trafton AT]

Uh…Why is this rated 10?

Distopia
EvilMike’s “Distopia”, which uses the excellent “War Torn Night” tile set by Toxic Bunny, is arguably one of the most famous Capture the Flag levels of all time, and is definitely one of my favorites. It’s not because it’s the best level ever. It is very good, but it’s not a perfect level in any respect, but the fun of both casual and competitive (especially casual) player in the level makes it one of the best plays around. At first glance, Distopia is a fairly standard Capture the Flag fare. The level consists of two bases on the bottom but opposite sides of the levels. The rest of the level consists of two passageways in the middle and a “sucker tube tunnel” of sorts. The rest of the level is stacked upon the base. While this layout may sound a bit focused on the bottom of the level, the placement of the items and carrots make it run extremely smoothly. This even distribution is accomplished by the placement of the full energy carrot and the seeker power-up. The seeker power-up is placed more or less in the middle of the level. It’s pretty much a necessity to have the seeker power-up during normal game play, since other than the bouncy power-up (which loses some value because much of the level consists of open area) it’s the only ammo that isn’t basic, non power-up. Flow is definitely one of the level’s strong points, which partially comes from its fairly typical layout. While the level does not take any risks in layout, it still has an extremely good flow. During game play, I never was annoyed by accidentally running into walls. The only part that could ever give beginners trouble would be the carrot, since it is easy to miss the platform that it is on and fall down, requiring you to loop back in order to get the carrot. Getting from base to base was fairly easy. The only complaint I could think of was that the level did not give much time for a low-life (low in health, that is) to get from the base to the carrot or the seeker power-up and then back. Because it is so easy to get from base to base, the opponent could simply score several times while the player was off getting the carrot. The level is fairly small, but not enough so to be considered “tiny.” Weapon placement was very good, but if it wasn’t for the seeker power-up, one could say that the ammo would be a bit on the light side. As for the location of the ammo, I have no complaints, other than that the bouncy power-up seems to have just been placed out in the open, where you wouldn’t exactly expect a power-up, but that’s as much an eyecandy thing as it is a weapon placement thing. Eyecandy is outstanding. The tile set, “War Torn Night” by Toxic Bunny, is a diverse tile set featuring what looks like a city. I can’t completely say that it looks as “War Torn” as the name may suggest, but it still is a great tile set for this level. There isn’t a ton of eyecandy, but even the normal blocks look so good that it still doesn’t detract from the level’s quality that there is not much outright eyecandy. There are, as is usual with levels of this ilk, absolutely no eyecandy glitches that I could notice, and the tile set was used perfectly. I wouldn’t expect any less from EvilMike, and this level isn’t disappointing in any respect. While Distopia may not use some complex amazing trigger system that is to revolutionize level making, it has been extremely influential on today’s level making. It doesn’t have much flash or gee-whiz features, but Distopia is an example of a simple but great level at its best. It doesn’t feature much more than the fundamentals, but fundamentals are where it excels in. It’s hard not to like this level. It’s fun, enjoyable, and always a good play, especially when it isn’t in a tournament environment. A great Capture the Flag level that anyone could learn something with, and definitely worth a download. An 8.7 might not seem as high as this level deserves, but it is, after all, small and not complex. It’s still an amazing level. Download this now. You won’t regret it.[This review has been edited by Trafton AT]

Pretty much as said above. It’s not a good level at all.

Double upload. Also, don’t make no-name levels. It’s annoying.

This level is below average, but is 1.24.

Wow. This level is very overrated. It’s an OK level, but not especially great. I wonder who those people I’ve never heard of that rated it really high are? :\
