Yet another boring day of reviewing and doing what i do worst.

EYECANDY: Bad, on all levels. NO FLOOR TILES!!!!!! A level needs floor tiles. 3/20

GAMEPLAY: Extremely bad. No crates or good bits. Just nothing fun. 1/20

ENEMIES: Bad. Not enough enemies in any level. Just some monkeys and 3 bosses. 5/20

ITEMS: Finally, something good!! 11/20

SIZE: TOO SMALL. Make levels bigger!5/20

Add them all up = 25. Divide by 10 = 2.5

Realy bad. Somehow, people like downloading bad stuff. Lots of downloads for you.

Eyecandy
Not that bad as I expected. A background layer is used, although it doesn’t move at all, and that’s a bad sign. There are some tilebugs, too, and they are actually easy to spot (cavern tiles errors). Entire level looks bland with too less layers and cave tiles used, and diamonds in the grounds were placed in somewhat ugly way.

Gameplay
w00t! The gameplay here is really mediocre. ;| This level lacks of original ideas! All you do is running around and searching for crates, much like in JJ2. Except this feels a bit too boring than JJ2 for some reason. Maybe unbalanced enemy placement? In some spots they’re clumped, and in another spots there are no enemies at all! That still doesn’t change the fact, that this level is plain… easy. (use flying enemies to make levl harder.)

Overall : Below average. Boring and bland looking… eeh. Keep trying.

What, you are uploading short levels made in your boredom!?
Ok, let’s start my review then.

EYECANDY

There isn’t many bads to say about this.
It’s good placed, there are some
trees and mushrooms.
But i think eyecandy isn’t really
needed in these short levels.
You know, it’s not hurting your eyes :P

ITEM PLACEMENT

Some food, some gems, a carrot,
nothing more.

ENEMY PLACEMENT

For the few seconds you are in the level, it’s great.
It are the standard enemys using
in the diamondus world (you know, Lizards and Turtles).
The boss level also has some enemys
and that’s not originaly but nice.

LONG SHORT

Like i and we all sayd, 2 short levels
made for boredom purposes only.

COMMENT AND RATING

Well, i only can say that making levels
in your boredom is nice, but never
upload them!

Eyecandy: You only put eyecandy on 2 layers. Two isn’t enough, 3 would be enough, but its your first level release, so you probaly wouldn’t have. 13/20.

Gameplay: Very good gameplay, especialy crates, i give you 20/20 for that.

ITEMS: Add a few more and you would have gotten another 20. But you didn’t, so i’ll give you 18/20.

Enemies: Same as items, its not hard enough, but there are less enemies, but there is a blissy boss ate the end. You would of had 16, but the boss, so 17/20.

Size: You were right, not too big, not too small. 18/20.

Added Up = 86/100. Divide by 10= 8.6. Round up to nearest rating= 8.5

8.5: Very good first try!!!

EDIT: OK then, very good first SP level.

EYECANDY: Bit more on the foreground layers then you would have made me more happy than i am. I give eyecandy 14/20 (STILL GOOD)

SIZE: NICE BIG BATTLE ARENA. But I found very thin parts of the map. I’d say…..17/20 on size.

ITEMS: Hmmmmm, not sure about this one. Some places there are lots of ammo and some places there arn’t any at all. You’ve got a 15/20 on items.

GAMEPLAY: Not sure on this one either. There are a fair amount of warps and hidden bits. Um……. 17/20.

FEATURES (to fill enemies): I’m also not sure on this one. A few DESTRUCT and BUTTSTOMP tiles. What am I saying? 20/20!!!!!

20+
17+
17+
15+
14= 83/100 Convert into 10 = 8.3

Round up to nearest avalible rating= 8.2!!!!!

Download Recommendation: Yes!!!!

Man im’ bored……. Strange name.

Level 1: At first I thought “Hey this isn’t bad, nice eyecandy, good enemies…” Until I finished in a matter of seconds……That was level one.

Level 2: It’s a boss level, after a very short level. I defeat the boss then says something odd, then done, finished the whole thing.

1/5….. You have the eyecandy. Items, Gemeplay, Enemies, Size = NO.

Rating: 1.7

Download recommendation: No unless you want to time yourself doing a boss (Thats what I love doing: Fearofdarks time: 1 minute 56 seconds)

Final Comments: You are nowhere near my recommendation for a download. You need a 7.5.

Accuracy
This remake, is, 100% accurate. The only fixed things are shield (changed to RF powerup, which is good alternative if you don’t mind getting fake health) and a morph placed nearby copter. Unfortunately, most people will not know how to access it with bouncers. ;| Anyway, this is pretty much accurate B1 edit.

Eyecandy
Good for given tileset. Some places look a little bland, and destructable scenery remains are pretty much ugly. Note: They are fixed now. +0.2 Color which background fades in doesn’t fit that much, but gives nice atmosphere (Along with cool music. ++Timelord) Background layers are used, and particularly look good, although they’re not used too creatively.

If you only have a story but no good lvls i recommand to write a book or something.

Two levels, one incredibly short with some enemies, and second a plain, yet quite entertaining boss arena.

All you do is killing foes on your way in order to reach exit, completely triggerless. No ammo at all, but it couldn’t have any use, because of the shortness. Not any kind of a puzzle, which is BAAD. This level must’ve taken few minutes to do.

Second level consists of few foes, a beehive, and a Tuf Boss. If Tuf was put in some hard environment, this level could be more fun. Instead, it’s not that fun, but there’s something oddly satisfacting in killing him trying to squish regenerating bee as well.

The eyecandy saves this from a 2. It’s not that bad as I expected. No tilebugs, background layers used, etc. I only despise slow XSpeed of layer with leaves in level 2.

(On a side note, both levels could’ve been easily put in one level, but that’s irrelevant.)

Ignore it when ppl say it sux, coz it is hard to grasp the essence of a good 1st level, my 1st ones sucked, but look how i turned up, im now making great levels. See “Ragnarok’s Stronghold”, it was a success, as so shall your future levels be. Ask yourself when you make levels, “Do i like it? Will others?” After that you get ppl to test it for you. Get people that are good to test and give you pointers. Hmmm, good luck. I’m not gonna say how much worse my 1st level was. PHT overrated it, when i was making it. But keep trying, and have fun. ;D

This is one of the best tilestes I’ve seen so far… But the only thing stpping me from giving you 9.5 is the small amount of tiles in you tileset. It’s very detailed and some animations. You sure spent a lot of effort here

(I got forced to write a review.)

Well. First of all, I’d like to compliment you on the background. It owns.
The arrangement of the tiles is also nice, finding the right tiles is very easy.
I personally don’t like the sucker tubes. I don’t even see a reason to use a suckertube in this tileset.

And as Neon said, this also reminds me of this mirrow tileset.

Here came a lot worse critic, yet still constructive and not biased against incredibly bad grammar in text strings.

Eyecandy
No level here is using any kind of ground tile. Yes, the floors, ceilings and walls are oftenly SAME TILES. Labrat levels are basically same thing, except sometimes there are pipes and metal plates, which are badly done as well. Carrottus levels don’t feature textured backgrounds, which makes them look extremely dull. No level feature a background eyecandy in layers 5-6-7. Put there anything. A vine. A castle. A machine. Structured tube. Pancake. Anything to make level look better. ;p

Gameplay
First level features big cache of ammo I actually didn’t use at all, because these levels are very easy, despite clustered around with enemies. Because there’s a lot of free space, I can avoid them easily. The exception here was incredibly clumsed (and probably the only level with vertical scrolling) level 3. Bunch of enemies, poorly placed platforms, etc. I can even lose a life when I accidentally fall.

Pickups
No ammo at all but a vast area featuring all kinds of munitions in level one. All levels have bonus warps in themselves (and nothing but food inside), and coins are poorly spread over levels, basically in evil dead-ends, guarded by bunches and bunches of Floating Lizards. Also, in level 5, you can freeze the Robot with Frostbiter. Never put Frostbiter if you plan to use Robot Boss. Frozen Robot will stop move after the ice melts down, and that makes the “fight” easier than it would be.

Overall
Like LRK said once, “Sux. X(” Those levels serve no quality whatsoever. Keep on trying, as those are your 1st levels.

Download: Maybe to check accuracy of my review.
Replay: Maybe to recheck bad quality of this. I oftenly do so with iCeD’s “Voldards Cool Treasure Jungle”. ;|
