A pretty nice litle level. Its very easy(must be Epics influence:P), pretty short. A real run-through level. The design is pretty good, only the sides of some walls looked unfinished from time to time. Its, like i said, way to easy. I finished it in 2 minutes just for the sake of being able to write a review about it. But its still good. Epic-quality(i wonder why:D). Go get this clasic right now. You may regret it, but somehow, i dont think you will.

Oh, blimey! Here we go again…another fantastic tileset by Agama…you know, I must stop throwing 9.0+ ratings around…oh well, nm. Let’s get on with the review.

Agama’s new tileset has got an incredible long name: Swamps of The Sleeping Jaguar and the contents is even more incredible. There are three different versions of the tileset. Day, evening and of course night. Each of them has the same amount of tiles and holds the most fabulous textured tiles I’ve ever seen. The animations has got very high quality and the background/foreground tiles are absolutely marvellous.

Now then, let’s split the review up a little:

Eyecandy.
Basic tiles.
Walking blox.
Platforms.
Backgrond/foreground tiles.
Other tiles.
There ya go! :-)

EYECANDY
Well, what should I say? The eyecandy is as good as it can be. Green, muddy grass, big trees and tree stumps, two kinds of rain, pools of water, sleeping jaguars and spider webs. There’s simply nothing more to say. Oh, and not to mention those quite little jaguars with their heads sticking out of bushes, they’re very nice. :-)

BASIC TILES
They’re all there. Buttstomp, destruct, ? and all kinds of blox. They’re all there. Also, there’s of course rain, (which I mentioned in the section EYECANDY) poles, vines, text tiles and hurt tiles in form of a jaguar’s claws. Very nice and original. :-) Nothing more to say, really. Plz continue reading…

WALKING BLOX
Walking blox? Well, there are loads of stuff you can walk on here…grass, treestumps, rocks, wooden bridges, loads…loads…they’re so beautiful I’ve decided to be lazy and not write anything more. ;-P

PLATFORMS
Platforms? Well, there are loads of stuff you can make platforms of…grass, treestumps, rocks, wooden bridges, loads…loads…they’re so beautiful I’ve decided to be lazy and not write anything more. ;-P (BTW, this section is almost the same as the section above. ;-P)

BACKGROUND/FOREGROUND TILES
Wow! Highly detailed trees, roots and pools of water makes these background/foreground tiles one of the best!! Nothing more to say…

OTHER TILES
Other?? OOOH GOD!! I DON’T WANT TO CONTINUE THIS STUPID REVIEW ANYMORE!! GRRRRR

Here Agama, take this 9.7, it’s probably one of the last I’ll give…

Cheers,

White Rabbit.[This review has been edited by White Rabbit]

A pretty well designed single player level, and a very nice Halloween tileset. The level itself is very nicely made, it has good use of triger events and stuff. It has pretty well balenced enemy placement, and uses the tileset pretty well. The sticks with jazz and spaz’s head on e’m n the background looked pretty spiffy:D. The tileset itself is pretty well drawn, another set to make my homemade ones look like crap:P. It mostly has all stuff to make a basic level, and some other things too. Go download this litle (late) halloween present now.

A very coolish level Dats made. It uses the 7th lava fall tileset in a pretty inventive way. The level sorta gives you the feeling that you’r realy moving. Its got a pretty well selected music file. The ammo placement is once again very good. Download this nifty litle battle level now, if you did’nt do so already.

Tese are 2 fine CTF levels by Disguise, using the completely aswesome ‘Plastic dreams’ tileset by Comander Dats. The design, like Disguise said, is pretty diferent then his other levels, but its pretty darn good. The levels have got a good layout, but a few dead ends, mainly in ‘Divided dreadworks’(cool name:D), make it not to circular, wich made me lower my rating. The eycandy is good too, even ‘tho i still feel you could have done so much more with the tileset. Weapen placement and such is pretty well balenced, no complaints there. To sum it up, go download ‘Wiseys plastic CTF pack’ now, and host a li’ll CTF server with it if you have time.

BRILLIANT!!! THIS IS THE BEST TILESET EVER!!!!! NOT OOOONNNEEEEE THING WRONG!!! DRAWN PERFECTLY!!!!! I LOOOOVE THIS TILESET!!!!!!

If you do NOT!!! download this you are the STUPIDEST PERSON ALIVE!!!! This tileset can’t be beaten, I don’t think this tileset can EVER be beaten!!!

Aiko will break his own rules with this one. He will realize this is the MOST AWESOME SET IN THE WHOOOLE WORLD EVER and give it a 10! I know he will, he HAS to give it a 10, I can’t imagine it ever getting anything lower, it’s just amazing.

On a side note: This makes all the effort I put into my latest tileset look like newbie junk. Seriously, I was busy drawing about the same thing and this is just AMAZING compared to it!

—-==Review Edited==—-
Hmmm, it seems that the graphics are out of this world, but they hide many bugs. I ignored the few I saw in the example level and still gave it a 10, because a tileset that looks like this deserves it. However, the more I work with it the more I realise bugs are a serious problem, and some necessary tiles are missing. Next time, PLEASE make sure u fixed that before u upload another tileset.[This review has been edited by Disguise]

The tileset was made by Everlasting. Nice level. His name is specified in the tileset iself, guess you missed it
:-O. First, i would like the coment on the music choise: AwEsOmE! Celestial Fantasia is a incredible soundtrack, very fasttracked, perfect for race levels. Its one of my top 30 MODs, and that says A LOT. Now for the level. It uses Everlasting’s pretty cool “Jazzed realm” tileset. The dificulty level is pretty good. Things like “The stairs of recoil” and the “lap of orbits” are pretty hard to get out of. The ideas are very creative. I also liked the part named “Freezing touch”. It was’nt that origenal, but still pretty good. “The pit of rejection” was a litle easy to finish compared to the pther parts, but good i guess. The level has decent eyecandy, could be A LOT beter though. I personaly guess the best reasen to download this would be for the music, but still the level is very good. HigH eight points for this cool litle race level.[This review has been edited by >CelL<]

Level rating: 7.1

7.7

‘Dinner’ is a pretty good litle battle level by our old friend mirrow. The level shows a weird, sorta bizzar, but ‘diferent’ way to use the ‘Haunted house’ tileset from TSF. The whole levels design is pretty good, with a few dead ends, but thats not to much of a pitty. It has some pretty nice ideas, like a living vine, poping up and down out of the ground, that bat from the top of the clocktower flying acros the screen, and stuff like that. The eycandy is good, ‘diferent’ like i lready said:D. The ammo placement is good too, pretty well balenced. I only cant realy understand why this was called ‘dinner’. Explain:P. Overall, a 7.7 and a download recomendation.

A very, very good tileset. It really has a “nature” feel. Nicely drawn tiles, everything looks beautiful. Changing the sprite color was a good idea, now everything looks brown and green, THE nature colors :D Dunno what to add more; everyone should download it now!

So darn great tileset!!
What chances do I have if there is Agama? :)

Comment to ShadowGPW’s review:
I agree with him. Usually the people only look the graphics, “yeah awesome!” then give a ten. Everybody should look the tileset longer than ten seconds. There are no perfect tilesets. Almost perfect sets exist, however. Like this :)

Blade edit: Raised my rating since I think this is the best Agama set out there. I just love this. Better than the original Epic Games tilesets :P

Terrific tileset. Agama quality. :)

The tileset is beautifully drawn, has fantastic backgrounds, and the example level is great(I’m not rating by the level, mind you). It really shows off how awesome the tileset is. Mainly all the leaves and bushes contribute to the amazon feeling..

There is one bad thing about this tileset, really. The big trees you can stand on, don’t always fit. This is logical, but Agama should have provided two versions of the top of the tree(the yellow wood thing), so that it always fits. Maybe this is an idea for a next version.

Geeze, Gargoyle, you are NOT supposed to rate the level! Unless this is uploaded as Multiple, it is an Example Level, and is NOT to be rated! sigh

Anyway, this tileset looks good. There are certainly some places where things look wrong though. Also, it gets so confusing as you go down it’s not going to be easy to make a good level with it. Let alone a level. Maybe some level gods can, but not me.
There are also a few animations that I don’t like too much, and while the brown Jazz looks good on Jazz, it sort of doesn’t on other things using the same colors. Birdy, for instance.
All right, you can arrest me now. I complained about one of Agama’s tilesets.

Seeing that I did’nt do a proper review on the first version of Heaven, I may be proud to be the first to do a review on the 2nd, updated version. And what a set it is! This is realy a incredibly drawn tileset. The groud reminds me a litle of Skulg’s slimeset, but i guess this was here first, so Skulg probably sorta copied ot from this(or it was just done unintendid:P). It has some realy cool looking windows, like one with a unicorn, one with a walle(or however you spell that:P), one with the m00n, a ship, and more. There is also a beautifull litle fountian(animated ofcourse). Theres this big statue of a rabbit in a flowing robe, holding a torch. It was even anmited how the light falls on the statue. Amazing! The turtle statues sticking out of the walls, where taken from the JJ1 planet Marbler. Only, in JJ1 they did’nt breath fire:D. The stuff for the background layers consists of very well drawn clouds. The textured background was fixed for 8-bit colour(or so Agama says, I did’nt realy check[shame on me:0!]). To add to the eyecandy, there are also some big cracked pillars, with inscriptions in a ancient languege on them, and a drawing of a litle cute turtle too. The whole thing is also very user-freindly, it has all the stuff mostly placed where you need it, and its not too hard to use as well. Go download this update of Agamas extraordinairy tileset now. I order you!
