Pretty above average set, despite the fact it looks sort of basic, and the bg was stolen from MEZ02, it doesn’t look half bad. Though the Napster icons were sort of a weird idea, and they don’t fit the tileset well… Though I’m sure with some imagination you would whip up a DECENT level…

Bottom line? Just a little above average. Download? You decide.

(Btw, ALWAYS include an example level, no set is complete without one)

Niiiiiice. :)

Although Blue is my favourite colour by far, I like the idea of red and white because of a certain flag… (cough Canada cough).

Anyhoo.. although plain, this set is nice. It feels like a “Cheq” (Not v3) tileset crossed with one of my tilesets.

Why does it feel that way?

The Cheq part:
Its plain. Not boring plain like the original Cheq (:P), but no textures on the tiles (other than the gradienting at the edges and the zigzag colour changing), no real scenary, and no real environment.

Ice M A N-tileset part:
Extensive… there’s a tile for just about every situation that you can think of. Also like me, it gets a bit confusing for a moment, but once you start actually making a level, the confusingness will wear away. Plus a working textured background. Good Job. :)

(Didja notice how the Cheq part is the bad stuff and the Ice M A N-tileset part is mostly good stuff? ;D)

Other stuff:
Save napster? Good idea. However, you gotta remember that they will be (if I remember correctly) continuing a free service, but what the freeloaders will be allowed to do has yet to be determined..

One more thing:
Go to the bottom left of the tileset. Now go up a couple tiles. Check the maskings at the very left edge of those 3 tiles..

Other than that… Nice.

I hate putting numbers on tilesets other than mine (always 10, of course ;D), but I think this one is around a 6.7.

This is a pretty decent level. Though a number of things I dislike.

For starts, I think you could use the set a little better. And I know I saw the background move faster than you (Try and avoid this). Also, I don’t like the weapons placement, and a little hard to get around.

Oh yes, try making more than 1 start pos. For battle collecters, I would suggest this.

A very nice tileset. You can make very nice Multi Players and Single Players with this. I do a bit like the multi choice from backgrounds, and stuff. I just found that the rain a bit distracks my playing (Probably even more so in Multi Player).

I give this tileset a high of 7.5…

mumbles SHUT UP SHADOW! ;)

Yeah, PSP did a lot of the owrk so why not thank them? :)

HEY! I actually liked Blue World. Not as much as Blackman, sheesh, his whining and talking about this song mind-controlled me to make this set.

The top is even confusing for me, don’t worry. I just stacked in tiles as I remembered to make them ;)

First off all, blue is my favourite colour so i’m sorry to say that i’m very biased here.
No, seriously: “Blue world” (which i already downloaded at UJ or was it J2C?) is definitely one of my elite Top 50 tilesets. It has everything a good set needs plus loads of useful structures and many other goodies like tubes, signs, numbered blocks, textured backgrounds, rain etc..
Tileset guru Disguise also jampacked the ZIP with four (one for each effect…like rain, 3d background etc.) neat example levels that show how his sets should be used. The design and eyecandy in those battle levels is definitely first class (very open and playable).
Even if that “Eiffel 65” techno tune back in ’99 was a bit too cheap ;-)
Apart from that, “Blue world” is an absolute MUST DOWNLOAD for everyone! GET IT NOW!!!

Heh… PSP as an other author. :)

Anyhoo… I love this tileset. Always have… just like just about everything Disguise made. :)

The only downfall is the confusingness. Tilesets usually don’t confuse me.. but this one (at the top) does at first. So… congrats. :p

Anyhoo… I love it. :) 8.2

EXCELLENT tileset we got here (I just love the bgs for this one..) the idea is cool and the way it’s used fits well. Very nice eye candy included, etc etc. DOWNLOAD NOW! :-)

Doh! I forgot to fix that before uploading. You see, these are so old, at the time we made them we didn’t even know about @‘s. :)

Ah well. I stuck ‘em up for nostalgia, mostly, a 6 is darn good for a level that old, methinks. :-)

The reason why i made it a diamondys level is bacause Monolith only wants standrard tilesets and i never made a diamondus level before ;)

Sure, "Midnight Battle" is, despite its unoriginal name, a very decent battle map.
The platform placement is very good and so is the eyecandy. The selection and placement of weapons could have been improved in my opinion (you should make it harder to get lots of weapons and esspecially power-ups).
I think Jazz fans will like this level so don’t hesitate to DOWNLOAD iT.
(However, i’m kinda sick of Diamondus levels, thats why its low seven points.)

Heh, I like the eye candy here, Diamondus wasn’t used bad (though it is still WAY too common), the navigation could have been easily improved. The weapons were placed exactly great IMO and you could have improved some little layout spots.

Overall surely worth your download. Download already. :-)

Alas, a very small and simple battle level.

VERY boring eye candy. You could have easily used the tileset better. The layout is decent, just a tad too small for my tastes. The powerups could have been placed better and the thing barely uses any events at ALL.

I dunno about the music, sorta annoying. :-)

Conclusion: No d/l recommendation from me, sorry. :-)

Average level. I like the eye candy but the layout seems pretty basic and HURT EVENTS DON’T WORK IN MP. I really don’t like that tree in the center, it takes away from the gameplay considering the whole level seems based around that tree. Hmm.

A pretty average level that you MIGHT want to get.

Not a bad SP level, it used the tileset actually quite nicely, it’s based off of an old “unfinished” (so to speak) official map. The thing has sort of a simple layout though, and the eye candy could have been improved. And take OUT that secret level. :-)

Download or not? Yeah. :-)
(btw, the music you chose doesn’t fit well IMO.)

Nothing much to add to Aiko’s review. I like the flat idea but it sorta dulls the design, you should also use @‘s on the text strings, makes thing MUCH easier to read. :-) The forest level is sort of confusing too IMO

Download or not? Of course. :-)
