Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Please make them zip files, not rars!
There is a major bug with the tree, it doesn,t have one ways.
Why there is large number of useless events on top of the level?

Albeit quite okay level, you have become better level maker since I last time loaded your levels! Way to go! Just little more practise, and thats it!

Fancy level =P it gets 4.5!

Kubububa you level are getting a lot better.

Eyecandey:
The eyecandey is some of the best I’ve seen you do but that still doesn’t cut it. The background looks great and it’s nice that you used layer 3 for some of the plugs. But you used one tile for the ground in most of the level and it looks pretty repetitive. And sometimes you used a tile that just didn’t fit together. You also used a metal tile tile over again and it looks weird and repetitive. Also the level looks empty. Don’t make you levels huge. For something like this you only needed the standard 256 by 64. When you make you levels that are 700 by 700 not only do the levels look empty but you can’t save in them. plus some of the animations didn’t animate properly. So the background is great but the repetitive tiles and emptiness really bring down the score.
5/10
Gameplay:
The gameplay is good. There is a switch box at the beginning because you need Spaz or Lori to complete the level. There are some puzzle elements to the level and the level is open ended. But the level is confusing. I didn’t have the patience to complete the level but I got the basics of the level. There a couple of traps and she made it so you can’t fall off the level. There are also cases were if you miss a jump you fall down to a past part of the level which can get anowing. There are some nice secrets which add to the gameplay but a coin warp could have been placed. You really know what the meaning of Maze is. But I got so lost that I got board with the level after about 5 minutes. One thing. Please take the time to translate the text. I’ve seen you do it before so please do it again.
6/10
Enemy placement:
Great. The enemys were not clumped together. They were nice and spread out and in some cases you’ll go flying into one if your not careful. They were used as guards in some cases which is a good idea. There were enough to kill me but some of the enemy choses were weird.
8/10
Pickup placement:
bad…. THERE“S A TOASTER AND SEEKER POWERUP RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING!!!!! Same thing later in the level with a RF and Seeker powerup placed in the open. Sorry but they were to easy to get to. Don’t put powerups is the open make them hard to get to. Ok. Food placement was good. It was nice and scattered and there’s enough to get a sugar rush (I think) Gems were nicely placed as there’s not to many. Same for extra lives. But the carrots.. THERE“S ! CARROT! I ONLY FOUND 1 CARROT! Plus with the great enemy placement this level is very hard to get by without dyeing. Plus there little ammo in the level. keep working one it. You’ll get it right.
2/10

Final Score:21/40
Rank C: Average
5.2
DR: I’m sorry but the bad ammo placement and frustrating gameplay means it’s just not worth a download. Keep trying though. Your improving!

Not a bad level. It seems to have been uploaded as Multiple. Is it SP or Multiplayer? I played it in SP.

Before I go onto the review, I’d just like to mention that this is TSF ONLY!

EYECANDY

Backgrounds are good and don’t look boring. There aren’t any tilebugs in the level. Some platforms looked weird and the Vines floating in mid-air looked very odd. But other than that everything else looked fine.

7/10

GAMEPLAY

The main objective of this level is to find and smash all of the Trigger Crates. If you died, though, you’d have to start again as the Triggers reset which would be very annoying. It was very difficult to understand what to do as all the text events weren’t in English. After finding the Trigger Crates you’ll be in this very strange Boss Arena with multiple Jazz clones but you don’t have to kill ‘em. Just have to find the exit.
The level lasted me just over 10 minutes which is reasonable.

8/10

WEAPON & ITEM PLACEMENT

There weren’t that many weapons to be found here. There were some PUs (Toaster, Seeker & RF) but there wasn’t enough ammo. There is TNT that is needed to destroy the “!” blocks sideways if you are Jazz.
I didn’t think there were enough Carrots. I was on 1 Heart health a lot.

5/10

ENEMY PLACEMENT

I thought there was a bit too many enemies in this level. It was too easy to get killed. Placement is OK but the amount is too much.

5/10

OBSTACLE PLACEMENT

Other than the Trigger Crates there isn’t that many other obstacles in the level. There’s some destruct scenery, “500 Bumpers” and Pinball Flippers but not much else. Though the Crates were quite hard to find.

7.5/10

TOTAL: 7 + 8 + 5 + 5 + 7.5 = 32.5/50

EXTRAS/DEDUCTIONS

No music in level -0.1

CALCULATING: (32.5 / 5) – 0.1 = 6.4

RANK: D+ = GOOD

DOWNLOAD?

I thought this was quite a good level, and I’m gonna give this a YES!

Big level which can be use for battle or Single player(I think, the uploader didn’t wrote much info about it)
You move in a big area full of enemies and you have to find trigger crates to enter new places. It have have lot of good and lot of bad ideas. I see that you work hard on this level, I remember when I work on my first levels what a big work was it. Nice idea creating a multiple level but the poor event placement and the no eyecandy make it boring quickly.You put enemies every free space nearly which is not smart move. You have to listen better at these things.

Try learn from others work to learn tricks and other things.

ok il say about the second 2 levels then rate it

level 1

eyecandy
YOU USED 1 TILE FOR THE TERRAIN (and a grass tiles on top) it just looks ugly like that it looked worse when you used the egg terrain , also the background wasn’t good either you need to learn how to use the layers.but the eyecandy apart from that wasn’t noob stlye but needs more added to it – so bad eyeandy :(

gameplay + layout
the gameplay was great i enjoyed it a lot it was fast moveing and easy to get around it so thats pretty much what i have to say , the layout was awsome to move around in to

enemy placement
the enemy placement was ok but had some annoying this in like loads of turtles just walking together (don’t do that its not really hard if your trying to make it harder)

other placement
placement on guns was ok not much more to say about that , the money warp you should have made stand out by putting something what standsout like a bonus sighnpost perhaps , placement was ok tho

other
ok im not sure if theres a story or not , but you should put things in english as most of the community knows it (well polish is second :P) , also nice mce but the boss was easy you just had to stay at the same distance and shoot.

Level 2

hmm same tileset (its ok but better when you change)

eyecandy
i still have to say the same on my first comment on the first level , but you have added some only a bit now tiles for the new terrain like a few eggs but good job on fixing the background , but still the eyecandy is a bit basic.

gameplay + layout
the gameplay wasn’t as good this time but still alright it had annoying parts like go up a set of tiles then going back down the layout was ok but a bit annoying

enemy placement
better and much less annoying not much else to say to that

otherplacent
weapon placement was ok to not much to say about that

other
waros where hard to find and you could not find your way about easy

————————————————
ok most levels were brought down by theie eyecandy (mainly level 3 and 8)
1 tile terreains are bad :(

weapon placemt
WAS EXCELLENTyou had it in easy places

gameplay
level , 4 , 6,7 and 8 was good level 3 was bad and others because it was just loads of tiles placed

conclusion
its has been fun to play but got boreing il give this a 7.7 tho as it is good and fun ;D and instresting

That is cool!!!I played with friends!!!

Grr…. I please for comment about this level, not for problems with WinRar!

I must change name from rar to zip beacause when I want submit file with rar, that don’t want send

This zip doesnt work with Winzip, but powerarchiver is OK atleast.

Please make your zips with Winzip.

I don’t know, for me is everything O.K. …

Gives an error when opened.
Lvl can’t be played.

No level = No review.

Fix that.

EDIT:
Kubabuba, what program do you use? Winzip? XP’s zip tool? WinRar?
Rules say, it has to be a *.ZIP-file, not a rar.

Download Recommendation: YES

Is this a bug? Nothing will show up under Zip Contents. Perhaps too many files?

Ok here we go.

Eyecandey:
Bad. The background in most of the levels were good but layer 4 was tilebug heaven. Everything looked liked it was rushed. Plus there was no foreground that I could see.
3/10
Gameplay:
Bad. Like Spaz said I had no clue what I was supposed to do. It was like a maze. The good thing was that the levels aren’t liniere. But other than that bad.
There was lots of destruct scenery and trigger scenery but I had no clue what to break what with.
2/10
Enemy placement:
Bad. There were way to many enemys and most of them didn’t even fit into the level. Sparks on dimonus!?!?
0/10
Item placement.
Bad. There were power ups everywhere and some of them even re spawned in. Most of them were seekers which is bad. As far as I could see there were no carrots. There were lots of gems in a couple levels there were shields in wide open! Not good. Overall there’s just to many items.

EYECANDY

The eyecandy in Layer 4 is still a mess. Don’t just randomly place tiles. They must join together otherwise there will be tilebugs which makes the level look bad. The background in the Easter levels was OK but it wasn’t so good seeing it floating in midair.

2/10

GAMEPLAY

I have no idea what’s going on in each level as all the text events are in Dutch. I seem to keeping going from one warp to another and that can get frustrating when getting warped back to the same place over and over.

1/10

PICKUP PLACEMENT

Still poor. Power-Ups (PUs) are everywhere. There was loads of Seeker PUs out in the open which makes the level too easy. Try putting them in a Bonus or Hidden area that is hard to access. Also, NEVER put Shields out directly in the open unless there is a good purpose for them. Make Shields hard to find. Never have more than one in a level.

1/10

ENEMY PLACEMENT

There were enemies everywhere. I could easily get killed. This made the levels far too hard to get through. Yes, hard levels are good but not ones that are near impossible to finish.

1/10

OBSTACLE PLACEMENT

There are lots of Trigger Crates to find in some levels. There is also the usual destruct & buttstomp scenery. So, Obstacles are OK but still not that hard to get through.

4/10

TOTAL SCORE: 9/50 = 1.8

RANK: F = Bad

DOWNLOAD?

While each level has lots of obstacles it is very easy to get distracted by the bad eyecandy in Layer 4. So, no DR.

COMMENTS

1. Do not try to make a level in one day. It’ll take at least 2 weeks to get a good level made. Do not rush anything.

2. Test your levels now and again to make sure everything is working the way you want it to. I have to keep testing my levels everytime I make a change to them.

(EDIT – Forgot rating for pickup placement)

You can re-upload a file, so you can fix it and re-upload the pack.

In one of levels is error – I don’t remember make EXIT :(

i don’t know why but when i enter to the download page i see 0 KB Level. why?

Thank You for review.

In my opinion my levels is also … poor. I have made this levels, when I have 10-11 Years and I not correct this levels. I think about correct. I make few days ago a new level (better) and I adding for this server, but this level was deleted.
I make this levels also for multiplayer and I don’t write about it.

Thank you in advance once again for review and I please for reviewing and commenting in my next, better (very) pack of levels.

I’m sorry my english is poor.

Before I review this, I’d like to mention that you should not upload this as a RAR file as it wouldn’t work properly when opened in J2O.

Anyway, lets get started. On first opening the file, I think “OMG, 54 levels!” But I then find it’s not so good.

EYECANDY

Some of the levels have good backgrounds but the eyecandy in Layer 4 is very bad, there are tilebugs everywhere. Some of the levels also had very bad backgrounds which looked a mess. Also, not many of the levels used animated tiles.

1.2/10

GAMEPLAY

The gameplay in this pack is poor. I have no idea where I’m going. Everywhere I go, there’s a Warp I’d never expect. There was even a checkpoint NEXT TO the exit sign in one of the levels. Why?

1/10

PICKUP PLACEMENT

Very poor. There are PUs everywhere. Some of them were even RE-GENERATING which would make the level too easy. Shields could also be found out in the open. There wasn’t enough food and there were Gems everywhere.

1/10

ENEMY PLACEMENT

There wasn’t very many enemies in this pack either. Not enough to kill me and the placement was bad.

1/10

OBSTACLE PLACEMENT

There was Buttstomp, Destruct & Trigger Scenery but they were all too easy to get through. Placement is not bad but it’s too easy to get through them.

TOTAL SCORE: 6.2/50 = 1.24

Backgrounds are good in some levels but the eyecandy in Layer 4 in all levels is very bad. So, no DR.

COMMENTS

1. Think about what music you choose for each level. E.G. Christmas music in a Labrat level is not a good choice.

2. Spend a lot more time on your levels. Try thinking about how the level looks. It’s not about how many levels there are, it’s more about the quality of each level. Remember, QUALITY, NOT QUANTITY. ;)

@WR: You’ll have to open it in WinRAR as that’s what it was uploaded as (I think).
