Rabbit-hunt can be a confusing concept, when you look at the level… There are many things you’re limited to, and if you play this incorrectly, you can get yourself stuck. There are a few questions that may come to mind, though…

Why is there a waiting room? All this waiting room has is a trigger crate and two CTF bases right next to each other in a very small area. It just seems pointless because the actual game is supposed to be played in the next level…

Why do the crates block off access to the main circuit for others, when you know they can’t regenerate and you have a bunch of guys stuck in a no fire zone?

The six is for the originality. What could be improved here?

Rabbit hunt never ends. The two CTF bases in the corner are unreachable because the circuit is closed within the walls. A new type of game needs to end. Also, the players need a better chance to avoid being walled in by trigger crates, if they should be walled in at all.

"Payback Time" is a very good battle level using the good ‘ol Castle set.
Design, eyecandy…everything is fine i think. No major bugs found.
Furthermore, the level structure allows a very fluent gameplay and is fun to battle. Somehow i like this so i’ll give out low seven points :-)

Level rating: 7.2

Somehow, this pack is pretty funky even if i dont know the game "Chips Challenge". Well, the tileset itself only has some gray squares
with pictures on them and a nice textured background and thats it. The author also included a very small example level using a classic background music: a conversion
of canyon.mid from good ol’ Windows! :-) By the way i really wonder if converting MIDIs is a good idea if the output iT file is over 500 KB…
All in all, you should really have a look at this, ‘cause the author worked hard on it i guess!

Sorry, AtomicFeline, but I didn’t love this lev too much. It was just average, a simple battle level. A little boring…. Not much to explore. Sorry…

Hmmm… As I remember, this was a great improvement over the previous levels.. Good Job!

However some of those puzzles were kinda annoying… but overall this is a great level pack! Congrats on mastering the Diamondus tiles, AtomicFeline!

Anyways download this and see for yourself… It is much better than the previous pack…. which is still quite good (for a beginner to JCS).

ALL 8 LAYERS USED! :) Quite nice. And the level looks great in both high and low detail. Eyecandy? Where is it? ITS THE WHOLE LEVEL! It all stands out, and the work put into the level really shows. Congrads!

Gets his 7? 7??? Is that what raters say now adays??? True, some levels are so nice, that they are common. Therefore one would think that they are not so special. Forget commonalaty. He deserves a 8.

This level gets -.5 from the last level I reviewed from Laguna for several reasons…

1. The event placement if awful. I find it a flaw to put springs on 180 degree slants, and to put weapons in corners, near an annoying masking.

2. The repetitive tiling is much more present in this level than his others, I didn’t like the look of several places.

Not as many indivisual flaws, but the flaws found were quite annoying.

A nice little battle level using the Casle tileset.
I myself don’t find Castle very hard to use, but onto the flaws…

1. Don’t put springs in the foreground. It gets confusing.

2. There’s repetitive tiling above pos 52,20. You should almost always variate the tiling.

3. The next level is Battle1. I’m not sure if I should decrease the rating for this, though. It could be a problem in fast multiplayer games, though…

Overall it could’ve gotten a 7, but -.5 for the problems.

Also, correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t this the level Bridges Over Carrotus is linked to? Just wondering.

Finally a level using a different tileset (censored! Thanks Laguna. Apart from that, "Boiler battle" is another
pretty average map. The eyecandy and design is okay: for example, the way the author tried to hide the v-springs is quite interesting. I dont like horizontal springs and vines too much though.
Well, all in all i think its a good battle. 6 points again :-)
Minor bugs (nonetheless they’re annoying): 1.) filename is messed up, 2.) no next level set

"Castle Crazyness" is a decent battle level by Laguna and in my opinion its slightly better than
"Bridges over Carrotus". From design to eyecandy, everything is pretty good. Disadvantages are the small size and the lack of super original ideas so still 6.4 points (its very close to 7 points)!
However the summary is that you should download this and have some battle fun :-)

Overall, I’d say this level is nothing but a big pile of garbage(SP?).

Bad eyecandy, lots of cutting. And just a bad everything else if bad. I’d even say that I’m giving it too high of a ratting with 1.

Oh, there’s no point of making to for TSF, also. So, next time, do a lot better of a job.
