Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Bad.

“Battle room”: this is a horrible level. You must defeat a few queen bosses. No eyecandy, and a horrible layer 8 background. It hurts my eyes when I play it, really.

“Devil Traps”: not worse than the first one, but horrible anyways. The goody placement in this level really sucked.

“The lvl1”: It’s probably the start of the story(I didn’t play the levels in the right order, appearantly). I won’t take this level in consideration.

“the poke joke”: “a joke level”, as the author calls it…

Overall: just bad levels. Bad event placement, bad backgrounds…

I’m sorry to say this, but this stuff really sux. I can’t say anything else about it.
You should spend more time on your levels.

A 1.

Just like your other level, this one is very straight and empty. The weapon placement is mostly also bad. There’s no good gameplay or anything, and the layout stinks.

Good things: the tileset was mostly used correctly, but I spotted a bug. There’s some sort of tree that looks too weird to be placed right.

Bad things: bad weapon placement, bad gameplay, empty, straight…

But, don’t give up! You’ll get it too!

Violet: before I start my review, I just want to tell you two things: 1-there are actually 3 tilesets included in the zip. 2-The author didn’t include three tilesets because he didn’t knew which one the level uses. He didn’t call the download “My first Battle level with tile setS”(note that “set” is plural here.

Anyways…

This is bad. I would have given it 2, but since it’s your first, I’ll go to 3.

This level has a very boring layout. It’s mainly very straight and empty.
The weapon placement sux.

a little plus: the tileset was used correctly, I think.

Spend more time on levels and avoid emptyness and straightness.

About that mask layer around the whole level thing: it doesn’t work when I play ctf. How come?[This review has been edited by Waz]

This level is longer than the official race levels. My own records in the official race levels were 29sec, 20sec, 16sec and 20sec. So, I thought 45sec would be long enough…

Something about the logos. Haven’t you ever saw that kind of stuff in F1 races or motor races, or any other kind of race? You know, the sponsors…

EDIT: yeah, I understand that you don’t like it, but I mean, why do you say it’s “defenily too short” when the official levels are even shorter? And the official levels aren’t harder than this one. Look, I don’t want you to change your rating, OK? I just want you to make a good review, with some sense in it.[This review has been edited by Waz]

An very messed up lvl, a bad choosen tileset with not many tiles. To many tubes. Way to many.

Whoo! I didn’t expect people would hate this.

But I understand you don’t like it. Indeed, it looks “messed up”. Actually, I would call that “desing”. The tiles weren’t placed just like that. The grey tiles are some sort of structure that support the white tiles.
I’m an artist, don’t try to understand me.

I think no one should rate this level. There’s clearly a mater of taste. Many people thought this level was great. It looks like some people like these kind of “messed up” levels, and others prefer very “straight” levels.

And a last thing about the fact that you said “gameplay:0”. Did at least try the level, or did you just look at it in JCS? If you did the last thing, I understand everything. By only seeing it like that, it looks bad and really messed up. But, play it before you say there’s no gameplay. The gameplay in some of my levels wasn’t half as good as in this one, and they got 7.5.[This review has been edited by Waz]

You know, the graphics are kinda good.

But the tileset really sux. You can’t make anything good with it(btw, next time you should press “remap palette colors” when making a tileset).

Actually, this is only an edit of Treasure Hunt 1. The only added things were hundreds of ennemies. Indeed, it wasn’t that easy to finish this lvl. That’s why you get a 1.2, and not a 1.

No download recommandation.

Waz’s Wise Words: NEVER edit levels(this goes to all of us)!! And don’t place too much ennemies, even if the level is supposed to be hard.

Back to carrotus:
Tileset use: the tileset was used rather good, but I noticed mistakes. 7.5
Layout: layout was a bit boring at many parts of the level. 6
Weapon placement: the weapon placement was fairly good. Maybe a bit less weaponnery would have been better. 7
Ennemi placement: bad. Way too much ennemies. 3
Goodies: good enough. A little too much carrots. 5
Eyecandy: backgrounds are OK. On layer 4, most of the eyecandy was only some dancing flowers. 6.5

Overall: 5.855, let’s make that 6.

Download recommandation: yes
Advice for downloaders: don’t waste all your ammo. You might need some of it to finish.

+good: the top of the level has got some interessting layout. I like small levels.

-bad: the lower part of the level is very empty. Ammo placement is not very special. Tileset is not used well. Background is a bit boring.

Waz’s Wise Words: Spend more time on making levels, avoid emptyness.

Rating:3.5

Indeed, a very linear level. There is some eyecandy, very few ammo(with a generator of about 5 seconds, which I hate in battle levels), and two power-ups at the end of a long straight path… booorriiing!… Really not nice to battle in. Also, those blocks at the start that change color… it makes me mad really. Some people(me for example)can’t take that kinda stuff. It makes them tired, mad, crazy or sometimes a little depressive(i’m not kiddin’ by saying this). Since i’m in a generous mood today, you’ll get a 2.2 from me. [This review has been edited by Waz]

An average tileset. Bad graphics on some of the tiles, very good ones on others( those ship tiles, for e.g.) The background sux, and those fishes everywhere, apart from not looking good, make it hard to see where your enemies are. Also, the tileset is very colorfull, with colours on the background that are almost as bright as the ones on layer 4, which is a bad thing cuz it makes it kinda hard to get around. This tileset would be very bad to make battles with, but I think it would be good for a CTF lvl.

I personnally think this is a bad tileset, and I won’t give any download reccommadnation. [This review has been edited by Waz]

Actually it’s not castle…

I won’t rate it since your dad made it, and not you. Let’s just say that, as a first level, it’s not too bad.

First, the tileset: there are some good graphics, some eyecandy, but it’s not good enough. Those aliens and the guy in that door or warp thingy or whatever it is make it look very bad and “rookie-like”. Not worthy of making levels with. Msking is bad. But it has the basic stuff, like blocks and poles.

Then, the level: …it’s probably good for that new game you invented.

No download reccommandation.

I’m being very generous by giving a 6.5.[This review has been edited by Waz]

Pavlik, this tileset, as the author said, is supposed to be small… Doing as much as possible with only 20 tiles.

Tiles with name of author:-could have been one tile instead of two.
Graphics:-good indead.
Xtra stuff:-hook, vine, 4 blocks.
Eyecandy:-only three tiles.
Background:-only layer 8.

Goal achieved.
No special download reccommandation.

A 6.5.

A small tileset. Very simple. Green background. Yellow ground. It’s boring. No eyecandy tiles. No stuff for layer 7.

I give it a 4.5.

No download reccommandation.

Good luck with your next tilesets.[This review has been edited by Waz]

Nice drawing on most of the tiles.
Cool background(layer 8).
Some good eyecandy stuff.
I don’t like the vampire who’s playing on that big instrument(forgot the name of it). You probably drew him when you almost finished, cuz he doesn’t look so good as most of the other tiles.

So let’s just say: most of the tileset is good, though I don’t like it at all.

A 7.5.

No download recommandation.

1-Those “blue pillars” weren’t ment to be bigger.

2-What do you mean about the flame throwers?

3-The beds are extra eyecandy. Just like the clock and the tables.

About the flame throwers: what did you mean by “out of place”?!?

[This review has been edited by Waz]

COOL!!

Really a great tileset! It has all the stuff a good tileset needs, like poles, vines, hooks, blocks, …
