Woot!

This tileset is some kind of remake of the JJ1 Exoticus Set, and it consists of three types of scenery: Brown rock with grass on it (a lot like the original Exoticus set), Brown rock with brown grass, and some beachy stuff. It looks a bit cartoony, but it’s pretty nice.

The bad thing about this tileset is the lack of eyecandy. There’s no eyecandy in the rocky part of the tileset (Gus solves this by adding some “small tree” -events at his example level), only the beach part of the set contains some starfish and shells. The set also has a layer 4 background, containing the same rock, but this time purple colored.

The tileset has a textured background, and for layer 6 and 7: ocean and some grassy fields. This looks pretty nice, but still a bit empty. Also, the acid from the original Exoticus tileset is replaced by grass. (even the hole in the background with acid coming out is replaced by a hole with (non-animated) grass coming out!)

The tileset contains spikes, all kinds of destructable blocks, signs and one-way floors. But sadly, no poles nor animated tiles are added. Making this tileset a bit simple-looking.

This is a nice and big tileset (Disguise also hardly used animated tiles), it looks a lot better than the original Exoticus, but maybe you should have added some more (eyecandy) tiles. (BTW I forgot to mention, this tileset is very user-friendly!)

Overall: 4/6
Eyecandy: 4/6
Event Tiles: 3/6
User Friendlyness: 5/6

Nice Work!

Edit: Hey is this your first tileset? You ‘re good!

Update:
The tileset has been updated, and it has improved a lot. The acid is now animated, there’s more beach stuff and background added, some flowers and vines, plants, a waterfall, and lots of colored blocks like in the JJ1-Exoticus. These tiles make the tileset look a lot more colorful.

Also, the nessecery event tiles are added, like poles and vines, and platforms moving up. Still, some things could use some improvent. The colored blocks, especially the bigger ones, look very simple. And the grassy/rocky part looks still a bit empty. Maybe you should add some plants growing from the ground and some holes in it. Still, the tileset looks really good, and it deserves more than a 7.0.

Overall: 5/6
Eyecandy: 5/6

I don’t really think this needs to be TSF… care to send somebody the source files (tileset and mask) to someone to compile it in 1.23?

This is neat, btw.
