Balltyville Sewers

To start:
The sewer. A obvious theme for a level, however there are just a couple of tilesets about the sewer. Now I rate one of those tileset.

Practical: (20 pts)
Practical it is! It is not a very big tileset, which makes it easy to use. And actually it has almost everything you might need if you want to create a level: paths, walls, a sky, vines and even tubes to suck you through (like in Tubelectric)! However: you can’t make a nice detailed background with this tileset. Also things like spikes are missing, but if you create a level with this tileset, you can easily place some spike balls instead.
Result: 12 pts

Eyecandy: (20 pts)
Well… it’s not good. The circle shaped tiles (like the manhole cover and the lights) are not so tight. Also: the soil and road tiles are simple made: just one color with lots of small dots.
Result: 5 pts

Originality: (20 pts)
The concept of the entire level being set in a sewer is very rare on JJ2-tilesets. It’s quite original, but like you can understand from the practical- and eyecandy ratings it’s underused.
Result: 10 pts

Example level: (10 pts)
Example levels in tileset packs might come in handy, because it can show you how to use the tileset if you’re gonna use it. The example level made for this tileset is good! For example: because of the example level I know the white circle with the yellow circle are lights. Sadly enough you didn’t show us what a good boss would be for this level. I think the Tuf Boss (Schwartzenguard) fits best, but what do you think?
Result: 8 pts

Total points: 35
Maximum number of points: 60
Calculating: 35÷60×9+1
Final Rating: 6.3

Why? Downloading this level pack is neither good or bad. To stay in the theme about sewers I say it’s a flush idea to download! Want to know where I got that quote? Check this video out — Is It A Good Idea To Microwave A Toilet Bowl? http://t.co/9a82oaO via YouTube!

Rating Street Zerg

To start:
Like Zerg said in the description this level was supposed to be in an episode, but the other levels were not good enough, so he uploaded just this one. Okay, this might be the best level of that episode, but actually it’s not fun to play.

Eyecandy: (20 pts)
Layer 4, the path layer, is really disordened. It’s just simple with random placed blocks which serves as paths and walls. However, there is a background and a foreground, which is great! However: the back- and foregrounds are not great. Later in the level you go down a bit and then you can clearly see the building ‘floating in the air’! The same goes for two of the five street lights. I’ll give you 1 point for the path, 5 for the background and 8 for the foreground, making an average of 4.67, rounded to 5 points.
Result: 5 pts

Gameplay: (20 pts)
Awful. However it’s a bit longer than most of my levels are, it’s horrible. There are no real puzzles (just one key crate near the beginning). The most horrible part of the level is probably the boss battle. What is an seamonster (I’m talking about the Uterus) doing in a city with his crabs? I think the Tuf Boss was better. Also bad: you can easily escape by destroying a block in the down-right corner with an exit behind. And… there are TWO boss enemies when you play on easy (instead of one in medium difficulty)! And although hard has too, I think it was better if you placed a carrot on easy insted of an extra boss. The only good thing about the boss, is you’ve made it tougher with Tuf Bosses and Caterpillars in the walls and it’s also a bit darker there.
Result: 6 pts

Story: (10 pts)
There is no story. So this factor does not count your rating.
Result: N/A

Obstacle placement: (20 pts)
Like I said earlier: the boss is terrible. Also the enemies are bad placed. For example: just a row of Tuf Turtles! And at the boss: just a row of crabs! Simple and bad.
Result: 5 pts

Bonus placement: (10 pts)
I think the bonus placement is probably the best part! However it’s not great. It’s very prominent you placed barrels with bonuses just on the path, instead of in a corner or on a separate platform. Also: the secrets are very easy to find: they’re not covered by layer 3.
Result: 5 pts

Total points: 21
Maximum number of points: 80-10(story)= 70
Calculating: 21÷70×9+1
Final Rating: 3.7
Download recommendation:
Why? It’s a messy from begin to end. Also: there is just no reason why you would download this! Just leave it.

Awesome, creative and genious, but some levels are quite ugly….

The people with the “Too many enemies” problem:
You can play with TSF, or just don’t go to the “Options” at JJ2 menu while gameplay.

Layout
The layout is great, While I found a nice flow to the level there were a few bumps in the way. Which got a bit annoying.

Eyecandy
Stunning beautiful, a fantastic atmosphere you set up with the eyecandy snooze. It really did have a totally different feel compared to other levels, I like this a lot in a level. I also liked the placement of the stopwatches A nice idea which worked.

Other
Weapon placement was excellent and fantastic places to fit all the PU. Carrot placement is fair.

I recommend this level for anyone up for some fun filled time. This level will delivery. I know its going straight too my level list.

Great job snooze, I look forward too more of your levels in the future.

Before rating this, look at YOUR first level and rate again _{_}

Must rated in fetured!!!!

:)

[Review changed to quick review, see the review rules. ~cooba]

Try making platforms closer would be good and i advise downloading a few high rated battle levels and try to see how there done it and it give u idears.. more u play the more ideas u will have :)

but still a 4.5 for your effort :)

Enjoyable levels with some fun gameplay. My faverite is frosty village :D.

Ahh well i give you a 1 for the level but a 10 for the balls to upload it, but anyway nice we all gotta start some were :)

Very nice .. JUST magnificent!
Hope to see this being used :)

It is a pretty well done tileset ;).Nice work Typhoon Bunny I like the graphics and the other stuff.
I’m giving you a 5.2 for the graphics and level and I recommend downloading this file.

Because of the false positive, I cannot open the zip folder. My Antivirus won’t let me. I sure wish I could use it. It sounds like a great program.

This is a very pretty level and I like the openness of it but it has a number of gameplay problems.

What I like about it is that there are a bunch of ways to get through it (with a lot of secret areas), there’s good support for difficulty levels, and it’s just large enoguh to work as a stand-alone level.

Two things detract from the level. First of all, the tileset usage, while looking cool, tends to be a little confusing at times. This level has a habit of using masked tiles (ie stuff that belongs in layer 4) in the background, which means you don’t always know what’s solid and what isn’t. A little bit of this sort of thing can be ok, but it is excessive in some places here.

My second problem is that the level is just a bit too frustrating. I beat it without cheating, but the death pits got me a few times, and the lack of checkpoints makes them very annoying. In the end, I wound up just rushing through the level instead of exploring it, since I felt like I had wasted enough time already. There are also parts where enemies are nearly unavoidable (the level is especially guilty of this in the moving platform sections). They probably should have been put on hard mode or just removed.

8 is lower than anyone else has given this, but I think it is fair, considering the problems I mentioned. If I were to rate this on eyecandy alone it would get a 10. Music is also good (07-Magic Mushrooms-ZAiK_iNT.mp3).

fun level XD

I’m sorry I was small then I didn’t know about layers! Hahahahahahahaha :D

It’s fine enough.

it’s actually fun to play!
