I like this tileset. When I fisrt saw the name I thought ‘eggs and chocolate’ but upon opening the tileset I realised it was a tileset of the actual ISLAND easter island. The graphics are not spectacular, but fits the theme well and gives it a nice stonehendgetypething feel. It’d be good if it had another one of those head statues without a mask, so we can use it for shameless decoation, along with some more trees and rocks and stuff. Also missing is a lack of tiles to put in the foreground and background layers. Perhaps some whitish smoke-type tiles, cause I think they get a bit of fog around there. Perhaps some rain tiles, or a broken/fallen statue. There are no H-poles or V-poles, however, nor is there enough eyecandy in the cave bit. Perhaps adding some plants or holes in the cave wall ala carrotus. Good tileset though, maybe an update can get it an even higher score.
UPDATE: Okay, with the update Mirrow has rectified just about all of the aforementioned problems. The 2nd background has a very nice blue islandy type feel, and can be used for a textured background. The sun tiles look nice and with the correct maniplation of layers can make levels look, as Disguise said, like a sunset.
Mirrow as also added in extra eyecandy tiles, which is good and brings up the rating. ;)The rain and the fog can be used for background and foreground layers now, so levels don’t look bare.
Oh by the way mirrow, I love the water stuff (that is water right?)That is too cool. I’m gonna try an effect like that. ;)

Wow, Nitro, I’m oddly impressed with this tileset. It’s a bit small, but it has lots of nice tiles to use. The metal looks ripped from Mez’s tilesets though. But still, I have to give it a fair rating, so 7 it is.
I was wowed by this set since the moment I saw the first beta test. It’s amazing. Ok, for a proper review. The tileset looks like a tropical island (hence the name) and has all the tiles you need to make one (including cool looking heads, heheh). Textures are very well drawn, as well as shading, you can see that it’s done professionally. The background looks beautiful! I love the ship, the water and the sun, it’s perfect. Also, as a trick for level makers, you can change the textured background colour (the colour it fades to) to 255 red and 96 green. You’ll have a beautiful reddish sunset :D
The music was a perfect choice. Well, okay, it was my choice, but when I saw the set I knew Monkey Island was gonna fit perfectly with it. Besides, it’ll be a shame to waste it on a beach level, so I hope you like it ;)

I did NOT rate the music. I just made a comment on it. Lemme clear that up.
For those of you that complain that there aren’t enough nature sets, this is definitley for you! And stop complaining (you know who you are).[This review has been edited by Disguise][This review has been edited by Disguise]
I love this :P (I love many of cool tilesets :D)
Cool music (From Monkey Island, isn`t? :D)
Only one thing: too little lvl
Great! Taz.
I played this level on a server, so I don’t download it….anyway, the level is ok, the background in 16bit is different from the normal purpley sky, the only thing I don’t like is the level is a bit, crampt, in some parts, its hard to move around in, and there are some platforms that could do with a one way on them :p
Apart from that, the levels good :)
This is a very nice looking tileset, the ground tiles are well draw, so are the huge stone faces :) The ground looks good, the trees look good, could do with some more tiles, maybe some sandy tiles or something. But what needs to be alot better is the background, the warped background is only 6 colours, and it looks too, drawn. The who tileset looks fantastic, and the background just ruins it!
Also, you should add some shading to the sun, its only 1 colour! maybe shade it so it fades to a blue colour or something :) and when the sun goes down, there is always the reflection of it in the water, that would make it look better to, cause the ships look great :)
PS: That music is from Monkey Island 1 or 2 isn’t it :)
Not a bad level. I liked the layout and design, though I’m not too crazy about some of the eye-candy. It’s just not as good as Rainy Rain Forest. The level uses a sold color for a textured BG, which doesn’t look as good in 8-bit as it does in 16-bit. But I got used to the gray background after a while. I think this is a nice level and is worth your download.
Great game. I love it. Great Idea.
Nice Bug fix I like it.
Agree with BlackDeath.Next cool tilest b Mirrow.I would give more but tilest is way too short :s you could fill empty places with ( for example ) more ground types or some ,,weird’‘ eyecandy stuff.Example lvl is not very too eigher ;)
Nice. It has all the basic tiles, a lot of cool animations (gotta love the thing where a carrot gets planted, watered and picked) and other things. There’s this cool castle thing, nice spikes and receding platforms, etc. Very complete.
Only trouble is the artwork, which needs work.
Wow! This is one of the most useful programd I’ve ever stumbled across over!! You can do a lot of stuff like check out which servers are up, how many ppl there are in the server and who they are. Also, you can see the lvl the server is hosting. Neat! (-D This is worth downloading folks… Here, take this 8.5.
Cheers,
White Rabbit.
It’s been a while since i have done any reviewing, been busy and stuff…(yeah right).
But enough of that. The tileset is excellently drawn, easter island hasn’t been thematized as far as I know. There are lots of useful tiles and the whole general purpose is shown well enough.
I particulary liked the ship on the background and the “The curse of monkey island” music (that’s why you get 0.2 extra mir :))
The example level was a bit on the small side though, but hey, there will be new levels soon by the looks of the set ;)
Nice tileset
cool graphics
original idea
only a little small TIP:make it bigger
Try putting your pack in one zip file
(I no give you raiting. I delete it if you have insert tile-set.)
Nope tile-set. :-/
Unfortunateley, I don’t know how. There isn’t any “Convert to bmp” button in the tileset arranger.
By the way, did you know that you can melt the castle with flamer ammo?:D
I actually think it’s well drawn(compared to my other tilesets) but I don’t draw very well. But, of course, no one can draw better than the great Disguise :D Tell me if I got his name wrong.
To Fquist and Splashcc (First of all Fquist):
That is cheat. You can made a two reviwes but I can´t. No for me own levels. Only fill of [edit by bjarni Cool]Reply of this author: or delete me last massage. I need write specialy me levels. Arrrrrrrrr… :# (Send this awzer in private massage)
To Splash: (In this time about level)
Cool level. Cool Tileset. I like you´re set.
P.s. I´m now create a single pleyer level of you´re tile_set. ;D
