Dear gods, that’s one very ugly WinAMP Classic skin. It doesn’t reflect the site very well, either. It just looks like a generic 2.x skin in hues of yellow, white, and orange. . . I don’t recommend this skin. But I do recommend “FruityAMP”. [runs]

Very good pack!
This pack is also intresting, because it show you, how frog can be powerful!
(Unsupported rating (8.5) removal. Interesting review concept, but it could still use some more information… like how it shows you that. ~Violet)

Ok, before I start this review, I want to point out to everyone that this tileset is not stolen. I’ve done some research i.e. downloaded Cool Day, and having the two side by side I conclude the two sets are not identical. Just getting this out of the way.

I honestly don’t know how to start, but since the Bad Day and Cool Day are so much alike I’ll use my “conversion” template.

Converison Completeness
Let me this straightened out: even tho it’s not stolen, it however is largely ripped from Ice M A N’s Cool Day, as the author claims. I say largely because a significant chunk of the original can be found in Bad Day: mainly the texture and bricks. That’s all, the many pieces of Eye Candy however, like the Spaz, the Dopefish (swim, swim, hungry) and sun with the sunglasses have been omitted.

Added Stuff that’s Good
Yes, Bad Day has some “original” stuff on its own. Yes, most of it is ripped too, but from another source: JJ2, which is allowable. From top to bottom we have: the arrow signs from Psych, the teleporter from Castle and Labrat, a blank block disappearing, Countdown Blocks (in two colors, tho it’s barely noticable), Weapon Blocks, the standard Fire, a Helmut and a Spaz animation. From other sources we find a moon, a sucker tube, a Textured background, a regular background, clouds, a waterfall, and splashing water, and that’s what’s bugging me a little. Not just because of the fact it’s ripped, it’s that the sources are not mentioned, which is a big no-no. For your information, the textured background and clouds are from Agama’s Heaven, the water stuff is from a Xargon conversion, the regular background is from Overlord I believe… Next time, credit your sources. Lastly, there is some original stuff: an invisible tile, a pole/vine (?), the army style letters, an elevator and a block with a First Aid kit. Cute.

Palette
Yes, a new entry, bare with me here. The colors deserve a mention because… well, it’s grim. Lots of blue-green, grey, black in different shades. In short, not really pleasant to look at. Of course, what did you expect from the creator of Hearts of Iron? Everything fared well with the palette editing except for one thing: the 3D Background. It’s too simplified. Granted, this has happened a lot because it usually has so many colors, it has to be simplified for the transition. Still, there have been successfull rips of this kind, it’s a real shame to let this happen.

Mask
Cool Day already was pretty angular, Bad Day is basically the same. If any, the sucker tubes are all unmasked. It would have been nice if the rounded edges were eliminated. Also, what exactly is that pole thing? A vine or a V-pole? It’s useless either way, the mask is done wrong. It’s too thick for a vine, and poles have to be unmasked in order to work.

Verdict
I’m not going to give it a rating since this tileset is one large rip, not only from Cool Day (the only source mentioned), but from other tilesets as well. The polite thing would have been to ask the person for permission, and credit him if he does allow you to use it. If there was anything worth rating, it’s the palette editing, and even that became a mess with the 3D Background. Not recommended.

You win, Dan. =D

well …your right about all those copies ..hehe…sorry,well my tileset hearts of iron looks pretty the same …you can look at it here http://img300.echo.cx/img300/8003/hoi4522aaaaaaaaaaaa5wa.png maybe it look small?..still …ok stupid tileset this bad day ….its just i didn’t know what tileset to make…so i thought only of cool day…

LOL. Please do not rate, it’s not his work.

EDIT: 3 reviews and 1 downloads, that just cool.

He likes me ;)

And have you asked Icey for permission to edit his tileset?

Wow….So many levels I don’t even know from wich levels to start rating!!!! they look great for battle games :)
Nature levels are nice, I like them the most! and I see that the levels were made by a Proffesional! Well They’re nice and they can get aaa…… 8 i guess …..well yes 8!

Have you no concept of keeping things in key?! Seriously! [cough] Sorry. . . Anyway. . .

Introduction:
“Sugar Rush!” theme from Jazz Jackrabbit 2 done in an apparent “trance” style.

Song Analysis:
This song hurts my head. Even turned down, this song hurts my head. Overall, it’s too darn loud. On some players, it even manages to drown itself out with sheer static. Additionally, the song — and yes, I realize how little there is to work with — is far too repeatitive. It’s the same thing over and over again with different samples. Out of tune ones.
Also, if I’m not mistaken, the song seems to lean heavily to the left speaker. This is unacceptable, considering there’s thirty-two freaking channels which could be mixed around properly. Remember, sometimes it’s better not to have something clear to the right, or clear to the left all the time. A little in-betweening could help.

Sample Analysis:
. . .Paul Reubens?
Anyway. . . The samples are out of key with one-another, as you may or may not realize. The samples themselves are alright, but the way they’re used just doesn’t work very well.

Final Analysis:
This is a horrible attempt at the Sugar Rush theme, but I can definately imagine worst tries.

Omigod. This IS unfair. I hate this mix so much and it’s my second best mix (by unfair Josephed ratings) at J2O… OMG.

Sorry, but where’s that empty box? I don’t quite understand.

Winamp classic skin.
Nice, but has few bugs which make this a bit unusable thing. For example, no border around the seeker bar, plus it’s too light. There is some empty box, which looks just plain ugly.
Going back to the default Winamp Modern Skin.

Noticed “rate if you like” to deserve high rating… So I am scared of that you’ll get N/A, not 10…

Hey This Isnt So Bad For An First Level!!!!!
Mine First Was 10 Tiles!
I Don’t Like It Really Much But Because Its Your 1st Level I Geve A 6.1

Blah

The Forest at Night
This level is a floating platform, with a few smaller floating platforms on top of it. The eyecandy is good, all layers are used, but there are lots of bushes placed, making the level a bit confusing. Lots of ammo has been placed. The gameplay is ok, but I found two places slowing you down, and the lighting has been set to 40%. If you jump off the main platform, a sucker tube will send you to the opposite part of the platform, witch is useful if you want to flight.

Conclusion
The level is cool, but it’s a bit small, and the there’s a bit to much eyecandy. Maybe you could create a pack with more small battle-levels. The sucker tube system is also really cool.

Fun: 4/6
Eyecandy: 4/6
Event Placement: 4/6
Gameplay: 3/6

I’ll give you a 6.7
