Higher Ground (16-bit)

Description

Four towers in the middle of an extremely foggy field. Jump-pads on each tower provide for quick and exciting gameplay. Lower gravity also provides for a different style of heavy guns gameplay than most are accustomed to.

I love the level, but do you think you could make an 8 bit version? (no graphic card here)

Wow! This level is PERFECT. I can't even think of a flaw! The flow and gameplay are excellent, architecture is great and it doesn't affect framerate, and Zul's texures are simply amazing. This is the most fun level I've ever played. I give it a 10!

wow.. tho I am not much of a fan of low g levels, I can see this level going down quite well with fans of morpheous. Rapid changes in elevation.. a tower with bacta, shields, and ammo high up top with a commanding position, and a nice easy jump to a SS. Large amounts of between platform shooting.. a nice vest position.. the rails a little awkward.. considering the relative ease of the conc.. but its a conc level.. I can see it in q3 to..(Cept that their would be a rail gun.. and people would be picked out of the air FAR to easily)
The low g should make the shooting wars different, seeing people will gain more height and stay up longer..
I can see some strategic usage of mines to hold the tower.. with a conc sniper raining doom down.. and periodically getting the SS.. (I wish lec had given that a 10min spawn time :/)

I won't comment on the looks.. the pics do better justice then words.

all in all a good level

Sounds cool, but I agree with Smith about an 8 bit version. (I have a 3d card, but...)

Nice to see the texture artist credited up front, rather than hidden in the readme file.

I was a bit surprised when I first saw Zuljin credited up front, but it occurred to me that I played with the idea when I released Jade Garden.. His textures just do amazing things for levels..

Had the pleasure to beta this level. The level is great, but I just couldn't stop killing myself. CURSES.

Zul's textures made this level. I'm just a lowly arch/item placement/lighting/cogging guy with nothing better to do then make Zul's textures work to their full potential. :)

This level kicks arse all around. Good textures, good architecture, cool/unannoying secrets, great gameplay and flow, awesome jump pads, and a sweet fog effect. You won't regret this download =)

Wow ... this level is great. As mentioned before the strategic potential is great although the action takes place in a quite limited place. This map will surely not get boring that quickly.

btw: I just tried getting to the lower level rooms for 30 minutes, but I've been unable to manage it ... it seems the only access points to these rooms are below the large bridges ... so I don't know how to get there. :-)

There are other entrances to those areas. You have to be observant and look in un-obvious locations.

Wasn't unique? I'm not usually one to defend my level against critizism from others... But not unique? I suppose you rather I pumped out a CO mod? What is your definition for 'unique,' anyhow?

Well, it's similar in style to a lot of Q3/UT levels, but not similar to many JK levels at all (if any?).

Amazing work, Juz, and Zul, your textures are like the wallpaper at Willy Wonka's factory... LICKABLE.

For the lower rooms, look around the back sides (sides furthest from center of level) and you'll see some ledges... Sorry for giving them out, Juz, but its so much fun shooting someone from inside the ramp..

A 10 for just plain awesomeness in both archi and textures. Whens the sequel?

Well, the only JK level similar to this is Morpheus, but that's based on a UT level, and let's face it, it's pretty poor (the JK version).
This however, plays better, looks better and is just....um, better, lol. Great work. Good to see there's still new innovation in JK even four years after it's original released.

Very similar to Morpheus but you may need to make the pads more acurrate because i went on and i either; fell down or died on the ground, on Morpheus every level is surface flagged. Make all your landing Surfaces possible to no damage... Also I really hate the sky.... It blinds you and you cant see a thing.... Change the sky too, also change the low-g... Overall 6/10 OK level....
