Coming in about a week. Probably.

When I first saw this thread, I thought it was about Jazz music.

Yay monkeys

Uh.....oooooh?

It's good to see people all excited about this big thing finally being in the state of nearly being prepared to almost be ready to come out.

Cant wait for it.

"Seriously, this isn't all that impressive pack as someone might think, we're just having fun with putting Fooruman and such." ~Violet

I like the bottom left screeny.

I get to betatest =D.

Looks interesting ...I forgot these even existed for awhile

Remix to Hocus Pocus tileset? Or a new level pack?

Cooba must hush. ;( my grammar is not that bad.

I got that quote wrong. =(

BTW I tested it and I found ONE BUG =DD

I hope it will be better then Hocus Pocus episode one?

As a tester of FSP, I can tell you to expect levels which are well designed, contain generally well done eyecandy, and are fun enough to keep you hooked to them. Personally, I preferred playing FSP over Time Tripping, plus FSP uses DIFFICULTY =D. FSP also has a relatively simple story, and a bunch of original and new stuff.

Final Update!

FSP is all but complete. It is undergoing "final testing" (for lack of a better name), and will probably be uploaded soon after we figure out how to get 2.54 MB under the J2O filesize limit. Release date is today, if you didn't guess.

awesome. But I just had an idea:

What about a .rar inside a .zip?

Tried that, odin. Doesnt work that well.


Edit: Plus .RAR's arent allowed on j2o last time I checked.

1. The rar would be inside the zip.

2. See my post in the WinRAR thread in Misc.

Host it somewhere else and just provide a link on J2O instead of the actual file? Split it into two seperate uploads?

If the download is under 4 megs, i'll host it on my webspace. :)

You're probably just thinking its compressed due to that, are you sure you're just not forgetting to take in account that a .RAR compresses better then a zip, so if you have a zip with a file, and a rar with a file that you put into a zip, the rar-zip will obviously be smaller because of the .rar? I could be wrong, but I haven't found any proof that this works.

Hoorah, it's finally out. Now it's time for me to test it again and find all kinds of bugs that magically appeared after the release.

Have fun, people.

Looks like fun. Now if I could only find time to play it, we might get somewhere.

I played through the first levels, it's amazing what I've seen so far. I got stuck at the fight with Black Ninja though. :(

You don't fight Black Ninja. You must smash the crate so his "weird hackingness" will be gone. ;p

@ Cooba: I already know what to do, the problem is that I always get killed by either the bats or Black Ninja running around.

Posted my review at J2o.

PHT2, try completing Rent Collection on easy or medium first. There are only bats on easy and medium so all you have to do is dodge Black Ninja and kill bats by firing up. Timing is critical but it's a very systematic process so once you got the hang of it you can easily get Black Ninja's silver coin.

I want to know how to defeat Fooruman. He's the one that's truly hard. :p

Shoot him. A crate will fall, and he will die. ;p

Indeed, Fooruman is difficult. The way I go about defeating him is this:

Stand on the ground and get hit by spikes. That takes off one heart. Let the tube turtles fall. That takes off one heart. Immediately after they hit you, jump up and grab a cheshire cat on the side they fell on. As soon as you start falling, get yourself over to the other side of Fooruman. Rinse and repeat.

It works for me.

Here is my main strategy. I don't think it works on hard, but it does work on the other difficulties.

There are six cats. 123 on the left, 456 on the right.

Wait until Fooruman unleashes some tube turtles. Let's say he does it on the left. Grab cat 1, go up to the top, shoot. Fall down. Cat 3. When you are just below Fooruman's blue platform, jump off and grab cat 4. Shoot Fooruman. Cat 6. Shoot Fooruman. Cat 5. Cat 4 as soon as it respawns. Up to the blue platform, cat 3. Shoot Fooruman. Cat 1. Shoot Fooruman. Cat 2. Cat 3 when it respawns. Up to the blue platform, cat 4. Repeat.
This doesn't always work, and can be very easy to mess up, but it's what I use. Plenty of room for discovering other patterns, of course.

Both of your strategies seem very complicated and I haven't been able to pull them off, at least not with ease. I'll keep trying though, so thanks for your advice.

My way: type jjammo and spam TNT around the annoying wizard. :p

White Rabbit, I must admit that that's the strategy I used when I played him on hard mode ;p

Wait, wait, I see ppl rating the lvl pack 9.6 and 9.9 while I'm stuck with 9.2, 9.5 and 9.7! How did they do it?! :(

@WR: Textbox review

@Fooruman: I just jumped side to side on the cats avoiding falling turtles. When I screwed up in balance (didnt have enough time to jump/whatever) I'd go to the cats on the very far left/right because tube turtles dont fall there, and you could still hit the block where fooruman is.

If you edit your profile, you'll see a number of ways you can rate levels. "Textbox" allows fancy ratings like 9.9 or 3.4.

I found Fooruman was the easiest. I had no trouble with him once I realized that I was suppost to shoot him and not that little wall next to him.

Rent Collection is now at the top of the single player lvl list. It beats RHG (in terms of ratings only because RHG is all the way over at Multiple), Tomb Rabbit, the Lost World and Time Tripping. IMO, the only lvl pack not better than Rent Collection is the Lost World.

Maybe I'm reading your post wrong, but it looks like you're saying that the only pack worse than Rent Collection is Lost World? That's not a good thing, right?
