"Photon A" has a pretty good layout (which esspecially battle fans will like), but unfortunately there is hardly any eyecandy. Also, it is very small (not to say too small :-) and could get a bit boring after a short time. Besides, Diamondus is not my favourite tileset and overused in average levels.
Somehow i’m unsure if i should recommend a download here. Decide for yourself.

P.S.: The author forgot to set the next level setting. The usual annoying bug when playing on the net…

I really like the story aspect of this level. This is the kind of thing I was always looking for on Jazz 2 City. Not just great design and great eye candy, as there were plenty of levels like that, but something with an original spark to it. It’s no small reason that ‘Another Story’ became one of the most downloaded levels on every major Downloads site. Albeit a little confusion the first time I played, I think FoD has succeeded in making a level with a little mystery and flair. Combined with good design aspects and eye candy, along with a good choice of music, I’d award it a J2C-rating of low ***. heh, oddly, this is probably the longest review I’ve ever done for a level. :)

Why doesn’t the bridge collapse, that’d make it better..

It you are gonna put candy canes in the walls and floors, you might as well make them h-poles and v-poles..

Too many vines.. that weren’t grabable vines.. decreased visibility..

The R in the background doesn’t look quite right…

I’d say more, but I think this was not really intended to be a good level, just to be a level devoted to Cmdr Dats.

Pretty OK level, at least it’s much better than your other ones. Even though it’s way too easy and lacks eye candy. Also as Aiko said, it was way too short and easy.

Conclusion? Still no d/l recomendation. Sorry. But you are getting better.

A decent (though not great) level by Disguise. I feel the edit of the tileset didn’t fit (made the level unplayable as Aiko noted.) The layering was sorta awkward, and a few other minor bugs.

CONCLUSION: Eh, I dunno. You decide rather to download or not.

Btw, love the music, even though I used this waaay back on a level I released on UJ. ;-)

First and most importantly, never put something like that in a level. And also you should spend more than 4 hours on a level, almost any good level takes 10+ hours. The layout to this level is quite simple, the layering seems very bad, and this whole level seems just… yucky. No download recommendation here. Sorry.

A pretty confusing, tile misplaced level with music that doesn’t fit at all. KJAZZ, spend more time on your levels, take suggestions from reviews, look at highly rated levels, etc. Can all help.

Very nice level by Cmdr Dats. Uses the cool (litterally) inferno set, and mind you, Dats uses it well. :-)

The design is fluent, needed a few more weapons as always. I like the eye candy and pretty much everything else.

Get this now! :-)

I agree with Aiko here, this level is quite hotel like, and I strongly dislike the Simpsons. The event placement and pretty much everything is thumbs-down here, sorry, no download recomendation from me.

I’m with Aiko here, if you think this is bad, don’t post it.

Um, anyways, the author is right. This doesn’t rank very high on my list of levels, it is confusing, has bad eye candy, tons of tile misplacements. note I didn’t actually finish this level.

KJAZZ, I suggest you look to other levels that have gotten good reviews for suggestions and tips about how to do level making. iCeD out.

Pretty average level here. Has simple design, simple eye candy, and weapon placement that could have been improved. The music sounds cool but doesn’t fit well. :-)

CONCLUSION: Download if you’re bored and like simple battles level that could be fun.

I aint gonna rate this, but I’ll tell ya, it has good design, but eye candy needed improvement. Also was way too short. Conclusion: Good but needed improvements. If I weren’t a WWI member myself, I’d rate this. :-P

Very nice battle level. The Tubelectric set was actually used pretty well.. I like the fact that the design is nice and fluent, and I like some of the ideas here. I myself never got stuck, but when I look at it, it looks pretty possible. Also, I was able to get the locked seekers with unpowered up bouncies. ;-)

Only true problem with this is it just needs more (remember the J2C times when Steven said that? :-)

well mr KJAZZ, i’ve almost finished my newest level (pack) (release in two weeks!!) (btw, take a look at http://kejeroshare.homestead.com/trad.html ), and after that i’ll work a little on my website. I’m planning to make a page that shows step by step how i built the game. So if u’re interested in some level designing tips, wait and …eh wait a little longer, and ur patience shall be rewarded.
btw, i started (from scratch) making ‘Tomb Rabbit’ in the beginning of october, so with a little help of maths i can conclude: i spent (will have spent/spended) two months making it!!
maybe i’ll also rate ur level as soon as i played it :)

ugh.. infinite fall is really aggrevating, you can see the layer edges (it just stops dead) and there isn’t much eyecandy.. some parts of the eyecandy are really dumb (like where the flamers are.. the lava is in the background, yet goes OVER the actual floor!).. yeah..

chris, just spend more time on your levels.. even if you just sit on them for 10-20 minutes at a time, work on one until it looks and feels like a quality battle/sp level..
