    Your level is not bad at all, don’t listen to the previous guy, although ive rated it a 6.5 i nearly put a 7.

    Good points to the level:
    The tileset is nice and detailed and appropriate,
    The name “flooded valley” is quite effective and a good name for the level,
    The structure of the sprite layer is quite strategically laid out,
    I just love that bit on the left where you can fall all the way down the level,

    All in all its just a nice level, however you can make some improvements, ofcourse :P.

    Bad points to the level:
    The background is quite bad, and this is probably the level’s worst quality – it is really half-arsed done lol, one of your background layers only has a width of 1 block! However, on this kind of level a simple background is quite ideal, though not as simple as you’ve made it.

    The level is also a bit platformy and veering towards being a capture the flag level. You could benefit from closing off a few passage ways and making the level more one-way style, but not too much.

    Some parts are quite hard to jump to, especially with Jazz, you may want to make the jumps less extreme, however your springs are placed in really good locations and this kind of makes up for this.

    Summary

    Weldone, this is a level that I wouldn’t mind having a few battles in with 5-16 people, however its not suited much for one on one basis.

    The background is its worst asset and the structure of the level is probably its best asset, but however with the size of the level you have chosen and the tileset’s simple nature, you would find it hard to make a level under this specification that goes beyond a 7.5

    Surprises! 3!
    Just a few too many warp spots…0.

    MUSIC
    Um, the pre-historic Carrotus music? Really, you should of just used someone elses and given credit. -2.
    It matches. 1.

    TILESET
    Just an edited Jazz 2 one. And it even uses the Diamondus trees! -2
    The colors go funny underwater. -1

    OTHER RANDOM STUFF
    Ha ha, found the Seeker Powerup too easily. 0.
    Spaz only? Bow bow. Big disapointment to Jazz users. -0.5
    Good use of the tube sucking effect, 2!
    NO BUBBLES. >:( -5. Actually cross that out. -1
    Good ammo placing. 3.
    Fantasic colour editing! 4!
    I ADORE the background. 3.

    Overall: 3+1+3+4+3=14. 14 -2 -2 -1 -2 -1 -0.5 -1 =4.5. Sorry, it’s the way it was!

    DOWNLOAD RECOMMENDATION: No. Not to sure if it’s even good enough to be considered as a battle level.
    PLAYERS: 2-5. It’s too small for anything over 5.
