EYECANDY

The eyecandy in Layer 4 is still a mess. Don’t just randomly place tiles. They must join together otherwise there will be tilebugs which makes the level look bad. The background in the Easter levels was OK but it wasn’t so good seeing it floating in midair.

2/10

GAMEPLAY

I have no idea what’s going on in each level as all the text events are in Dutch. I seem to keeping going from one warp to another and that can get frustrating when getting warped back to the same place over and over.

1/10

PICKUP PLACEMENT

Still poor. Power-Ups (PUs) are everywhere. There was loads of Seeker PUs out in the open which makes the level too easy. Try putting them in a Bonus or Hidden area that is hard to access. Also, NEVER put Shields out directly in the open unless there is a good purpose for them. Make Shields hard to find. Never have more than one in a level.

1/10

ENEMY PLACEMENT

There were enemies everywhere. I could easily get killed. This made the levels far too hard to get through. Yes, hard levels are good but not ones that are near impossible to finish.

1/10

OBSTACLE PLACEMENT

There are lots of Trigger Crates to find in some levels. There is also the usual destruct & buttstomp scenery. So, Obstacles are OK but still not that hard to get through.

4/10

TOTAL SCORE: 9/50 = 1.8

RANK: F = Bad

DOWNLOAD?

While each level has lots of obstacles it is very easy to get distracted by the bad eyecandy in Layer 4. So, no DR.

COMMENTS

1. Do not try to make a level in one day. It’ll take at least 2 weeks to get a good level made. Do not rush anything.

2. Test your levels now and again to make sure everything is working the way you want it to. I have to keep testing my levels everytime I make a change to them.

(EDIT – Forgot rating for pickup placement)

Ok here we go.

Eyecandey:
Bad. The background in most of the levels were good but layer 4 was tilebug heaven. Everything looked liked it was rushed. Plus there was no foreground that I could see.
3/10
Gameplay:
Bad. Like Spaz said I had no clue what I was supposed to do. It was like a maze. The good thing was that the levels aren’t liniere. But other than that bad.
There was lots of destruct scenery and trigger scenery but I had no clue what to break what with.
2/10
Enemy placement:
Bad. There were way to many enemys and most of them didn’t even fit into the level. Sparks on dimonus!?!?
0/10
Item placement.
Bad. There were power ups everywhere and some of them even re spawned in. Most of them were seekers which is bad. As far as I could see there were no carrots. There were lots of gems in a couple levels there were shields in wide open! Not good. Overall there’s just to many items.
