Description

The balloon races! Not like the usual test. Can you get passed the basic TRAINING? Can you avoid the tubey arrows at ARROWWW? Resist the wind in TURBULANCE? Show that you’re not stupid at FOO? Show no mercy to the freeze enemies at FREEZE? Test your patience at ILLUSION? Use the pinballs to your advantage at BOUNCE? Fly like a bird without getting hit by balloons at AVOIDANCE? Avoid the warp-whirlpools at WARPED? Be tactical and patient in DORKNESS? Make sure the TNTs and BOMBs don’t blow you away now that you’re so close to the end at BLASTZONE? And last, see things the eye can’t see at INVI.?

Well, have fun. If you have any questions, ask.

Yay, first review AND download! NOOO I AM BAD AT TESTS ARGH I FELL AGAIN ANDAGAIN ANDAGAIN ANDAGAIN ANDAGAIN ANDAGAIN ANDAGAIN ANDAGAIN ANDAGAIN ANDAGAIN ANDAGAIN AND again

Okay, The whole level is just only balloon. Balloon here, ballon there, and you are ready (Not me, is suck at this, but okay.)

Very orginal ideas, the tileset rock for it, really, and: “Every non-ready-rook can beat this” -Craccoboy
So, Just download this with a evry evil grin that you aren’t a not-ready-rook.

Edit: oops it is non-really rook so do that then :D[This review has been edited by Taz]

I’ll admit, I was skeptical Craccoboy could turn out a good test after TaD and Cracco Practice. I was kind of right.
Training is easy enough. Jump from one hook to another.
Arrow’s about the same, only there are a few sucker tubes.
Turbulance is annoying, because although it’s filled with wind and floatups, there’s no indication of where they are, no fans or anything. You have to keep going through until you know where things are, and even then, you must battle the force known as Momentum, when the wind suddenly stops. Not to mention the orange warps, which are the same color as the area of the textured background they’re over, so I had to turn off textured background for it.
Foo has invisible walls. However, it’s still relatively easy to figure out where they are, which I guess is why it’s called Foo.
I hate Freeze. To really be able to see in it, you have to have 16 color one, which causes lag. Even so, the balloons and freeze enemies are close to invisible. But if you’ve ever wanted to vent rage on freeze enemies, this is your chance.
Illusion was probably the best, not to mention one of the two I appreciated. Walls keep appearing and disappearing, so you must time your jumps.
Bounce was odd, as despite it saying Spaz was the required rabbit, I found I could only do it as Jazz. But it involves pinball flippers, bumpers, and balloons. Of course.
Avoidance was Annoyance, as you must avoid the balloons. What exactly balloons are is obviously open to debate, as you can get hit by not going near them, while not hit when you’re right next to them. Remember, balloons must be at least three tiles apart to go between them.
Warped was Training, only with more warps that textured background must be turned off for.
Darkness (not dorkness) was the other one of the two I appreciated. It’s generally dark (dark green, for some reason), except every so often a light flashes and you see the next balloon or something.
Blastzone was boring. I’ve seen more original uses of TNT and Bombs in a foo race.
And in Invl, you must find the INVISIBLE balloons. Joy. Fortunately, none of the balloons are too far apart, nor in places that make no sense.
The whole thing, with one or two exceptions, was kind of easy.
Some things that could have added to the enjoyment were balloons that appeared and disappeared, SCEs (for people playing online) and trigger scenery.
I’m undecided on a rating, as I haven’t eaten today and am thus likely to rate anything too low. I’ll probably come back to it later.[This review has been edited by Violet CLM]

A very nice testing level with a few annoyances, but likely not the best ever. The first level, Training, is an example of a great training level. It’s simple, skill-based, and introductory, and prevents a smooth translation to the final tests. With the possible exclusion of “FOO,” these tests are all skill-based, which I really like. My only complaint is that the whole thing is a bit short, and the “Freeze” level can be aggrivating and you can cheat by going before the items reginerate if you are really lucky.

All and all, a great testing level and a definite download recommendation. But it still is only a test level, and is nothing amazing. Download recommendation for test fans and an overall 7.7 score. Yay.[This review has been edited by Trafton AT]

Trafton, the way you should beat Freeze is to make sure there aren’t even any items, just shoot them down. They’ll fall in the sucker tube. If you fall, however, you’ll hit them all again, and they’ll all be back. :P

Oh yes, I’ll probably use all the suggestions or ideas given for a sequal. There used to be some RF SCEs in BLASTZONE, but I had to remove them, because they did not always work, and SCEs usually create lag online.

Cazz, I will try. I tried uploading something at SW before, but I suppose it didn’t work, I thought it was a tileset.[This review has been edited by CraccoBoy]

Well, okay, I found the first few things okay, but the foo and freeze were crap, and once I beat freeze I got an error and jazz crashes. I could save, but I could’t load the saved games cuz then Jazz crashes. So I can’t really rate this, but for what I’ve seen I’d rate it something like 6.

I can’t really stand this pack… but It’s okay I guess. I wouldn’t really recommend it though, thus the 6.7. [This review has been edited by primordial]

I have seen better races, but this level and tileset rocks…:D
(Unsupported rating (8) removal. What makes the level and tileset so good? You obviously thought about your rating, as it’s not just a 10, so what thoughts did you think? What made you give this the rating you did? ~Violet)
