    I can’t remember that much levels made by Robee, but this DOM-level is actually quite good! Which means that it’s time for a review!

    Let’s start with the layout. The MP Start-areas are in-game quite.. useless. Also, the red spring leading to them can be quite annoying. Then there are two coinwarps at each side leading to a Seeker Pu, which is quite a good idea, but the level lacks imo some coins. Also at each side a PU, though Bouncy seems a lot stronger than Toaster since most platforms are quite thin. The CP’s are placed quite well, both in corners of the level and it should take some time to go from CP to CP. Death Pits (called ‘the Beast’) are quite nice and fit the level’s atmosphere.

    About that atmosphere, it’s really good! There’s variety in eyecandy, the backgrounds are okay and overall the atmosphere is just quite good. What I don’t like are the details, since when you look close to some things they aren’t that good actually, for example the floating stalactites at (37,29). And then the sign at (59,7), lol.

    About the gameplay and flow. Since this level is quite small two CP’s are good. 3 Pu’s with one hard to get (since it lacks coins) is also the right ammount. Getting the Pu’s, which are in some dead-endy area’s, takes some time (which is good) and well, everything’s at the right spot, I guess.

    So should you download it? Errr, yes. It’s a quite good level with a good atmosphere and gameplay. It will play well, I guess, with 4-6 players.

    A good level, but not really worth 8.9
    The eyecandy is excellent.
    However the level seems a bit too linear in my opinion. It’s easy to get from one Control Point to another.
    I like the way that there is a Death Pit below the CP to prevent camping.
    Still it’s a fun level worth hosting now and again.
    7/10

    This is a short review. It has less impact on the upload's score.

    Not too bad of a level. It has some creative eyecandy (Although I didn’t like the way the “beasts” were handled), decent enough flow, and a good amount of ammo. Worth a download, I guess.
