Lets Review,

EYECANDY

Very nice,
This level really looked great
I’ve found no bugs yet.
GRADE: 9

GAMEPLAY

This is a different story.
There is only 1 way to the blue flag
That makes it very easy to defend.
There were different stages in a level were you only can get out with a sucker tube or springs. Let people walk theirselfes.
Grade: 5

Ammo/Goodies

Ammo and Goodies were in a good amount.
There just were not too much of them.
Grade: 7

Download recommed: Yes
Host recommed: maybe
Final grade: 7

That was it, it was a good level.

TWO LEVELS!

1. Fear The Carrot

{Eye Candy} [2.5]
Believe me, the worst you can ever expect from XLM. I can’t believe you actually let this get uploaded to J2O. There are tile bugs. Everywhere. You can’t miss them. Look at the walls. They look so bad my expextations from XLM are drooooooping dooown. Even worse, ChippieBW said he did the eyecandy part. AND HE’S the LEADER of XLM! Carrotus is a so simple tileset I’d expect you be able to do something NICE with it. Good job on rushing this one.

{Game Play} [5.4]
At least this is average. However, the unbelieveably unfair base placement costed a lot. The red base is a lot easier to reach than blue. Red base is a lot harder to defend, than blue. Believe it. I don’t know why should I recommend this level to anyone. The other layout is better, but the suckertubes annoy me mostly, and sometimes the springs are not powerful enough.

{Stuff Placing} [6.0]
All the ammo are in high numbers. A heck lot of bouncers near both bases.. the huge amount of GUN9 near topright… I could list a lot of places with huge amounts of ammo. Then there’s this carrot, only accessable by a secret. Nice job. There’s ONE +1 carrot for those that don’t know the secret! I never found the way to the toaster powerup, not that good.

OVERALL {TOTAL} [4.3]

2. Rabbit Warz
Nice job on not including the tileset for this one. No rating given.

{OVERALL ALL LEVELS OF PACK} 5.2. What would you have thought? Can’t review the second level for not including tileset.

SO MANY EDITS: I decided to put all edits in one.
First off, bridgecomment removed from gameplay section, rating made just like bridges didn’t exist.
Second, include the tileset so I can review the 2nd level. I could just give minus points, but why bother.
Third, masterrokusho, how is this level different from the other crap levels on J2O? Why don’t you complain to R3ptile? He rated it bad too. IF that’s your reason, “master“rokusho.
Fourth and last, this was detailed enough to explain the bad rating. Your no-helpful stuff are just for the bad rating of mine.

XLM Pack. After two horrible levels by XLM, I review this pack now. My expectations are NOT HIGH.

1. Street Pass Number One
This is a simple level.

{Eye Candy} [8.7]
Not bad at all, it’s probably the best thing about this level. The mountains at the back in layer6 and that castle type of thing in layer7. However, one part of the mountains has its top clipped off.

{GamePlay} [5.6]
This is the campers’ strike. In a 3vs3, someone can just keep camping the sucker tubes that are used to get the flag. If there’s no camper over there, it’s then all about suckertube entering and fast. It’s pointless.

{Stuff’s Placement} [7.4]
This isn’t that bad. The toaster powerup in the suckertube is easily campable though, and the carrot is in a bad place. If you use the suckertube tactic, getting the carrot is so easy it’s taking many tries to kill a bit skilled player. But bonus points come from the nice toaster type of powerup collecting. And at last it’s JAZZ BIASED, not spaz biased. Better than nothing.

overall total {Level Total} [7]

2. Overheated and Freaky World

{Eye Candy} [8.1]
I really like how you did the layer 6/7. But the trees are annoying. The layer3 stuff in the foreground grass isn’t bad.

{Gameplay} [8.5]
It’s very easy to move around, the only thing that annoys are the hidden springs. I can’t see stuff, going to run speed, BOING. It’s annoying for that to happen. But although that’s one of the level’s problems, it has a good flow though. The platforms fit nicely.

{Stuff Placement} [8]
Two powerups, Bouncer and Toaster. No “main powerup”. Considering the size of level, this is ok. The bouncers own the toaster, though… it’s a bit of team biasing.

overall total {Level Total} [8.3]

3.Fourty Metres In The Air

{Eye Candy} [7]
I don’t find anything bad in the eyecandy but it’s not anything very nice either. It’s the Average. Maybe it’s the tileset.

{GamePlay} [6.6]
Everything you do is run left and right at the bottom. Get flag, score, get flag and score again. Shoot seeks, kill other flagcarry, score… that’s something like that all the time.

{Stuff’s Placement} [7.0]
The seek powerup placing is stupid. You need to explain how to get seek PU to everyone. The carrot is in middle of Gun 9’s. At least the carrot isn’t placed in middle of the patch you move left/right to score.

overall total {Level Total} [8]

4. Punished In Space

{Eye Candy} [9.5]
The wall thing is on Layer 6. This is the best part of the level. The animations are pretty nice too.

{Gameplay} [3.2]
Believe it or not, this level itself is stupid. For some reason, there’s a no-fire zone in the bases. I don’t know why, but it really ruins the whole thing. Anyone can keep camping at the bases. You have two bases in different rooms next to eachother. You WARP in the bases. Getting the flag is a bit hard because of the springs. I don’t like this. AT ALL.

{Stuff’s Placement} [7.5]
There’s a huge load of RF’s at one point in this level. There’s also an RF powerup in middle of springs. There’s a bouncy powerup very near blue base and blaster powerup very near the red base. Nothing wrong with this one.

overall total {Level Total} [5.7]

5. Plastic Surgery CTF

{Eye Candy} [5]
The worst part. The single 1 color background somewhere near blue base hurts my eyes with its flashing. And it looks very ugly. Also layer 6 or 7 weren’t used for nice BG purposes. The wall at the right and left side is very dull and ugly.

{Gameplay} [6.5]
The unfair bases have come again. Just like in XLM Owned Town. Top left is a lot easier to defend than bottom right. Some springs are annoying. There’s not a lot of them though. However, there’s no problems with the gameplay.

{Stuff’s Placement} [6.0]
The only problem is with the Toaster and Bouncer powerups that are unfair. It’s a lot harder to get the toaster powerup than the bouncers Powerup. I see no problems elsewhere with the placement.

overall total {Level Total} [6.2]

Here comes my first review for a long time.

{Eye Candy} [8.5]
This probably is the best part of the level. I like the mountains and especially the clouds. Sometimes I can’t really see the difference between Layer 5 roads and walkable roads, though. Don’t make this messy.

{GamePlay} [4.2]
So you can score in 10 seconds. Wow. The
level is a bit Blue biased, since it’s a lot easier to defend the blue base on the top-left, than the red base on the bottom-right. It’s fine for duels, but absolutely biased for #vs#‘s. And it’s easy to fall down just by accident. And those accidents happen a LOT. The bases are out in the open, leading in easy scores.

{Stuff Placement} [7.0]
No minus points for the seek powerup, since this is an open level that gives a chance for easy dodging. I’m more concerned about the CARROTS. The top-right carrot is so easy to camp. The bottom-left could be a Full Energy. Or to speak, there should be no two +1’s, have a full energy instead. Especially since this has this seek powerup. One seek hit gives two damage and you need to go first to bottom left, then to top right to full heal. By then, you would already have died. And the seek powerup is in an enclosed area, resulting in NO! That’s so easy to camp it’s painful.

{Originality} [6.5]
The enclosed area powerup placing is used so many times I can download something else and see it.

AVERAGE {TOTAL} [6.5]
This was a total letdown of XLM. I didn’t like this level. Considering this is a XLM level, I can’t believe they make levels this bad. 6.5! No Download Recommendation (unless you want to review it, of course)

EDITEDIT: No download recommendation? I swear i put N/A in it…

Not going to review this, but you wanted to know if there was someone who used fog in a level before. Well, the answer is yes.
N0B0DY used fog in a level too; check his upload ‘Project Fog’ for it. Be sure it’s N0B0DY and not Nobody. K? K.

Well nice Idea!
To the Author’s question:
I can’t remember that anyone has done something like a fog in a level.
Just: Great idea I will use this in one of my next levels too!;
+3 Bonus Points!

Technical: The Author has made the Background Tiles (Sky) Transculent, placed it on Laayer 1 or 2 and seted a slow auto speed to the -> direction.

I just played through it and saw how good the Colonial tileset was used. I never use this tileset because I cant built something out of it.
Then the Fog in the Foreground together with low lightning makes a dark area just very dark. With my Eyes, i had to get closer to the Monitor for seeing something in the Dark area of the Level.

The Size: Well, the levels size is, in my opinion, a bit to small. But for using the set so good I think it is an Ok Level.
7.5 Points!

Just find out how to use J2Ov2 colors in reviews!

I’m the first reviewer of this level. Yeah!!!

Now for the review…

Monster Bash Conversion:

Monster Bash is an excellent tileset. The eyecandy isn’t good but, it is good for a
DOS tileset conversion. I think it is very good. I think everyone should download it. The eyecandy is things like skulls, gravestones,skeletons,ladders,treasure chests and skull flags etc.I won’t rate the example level but, it is anexcellent example level. My conclusion is this is a very good tileset. Keep up the good work LRK!

Download Recommendation: Yes!

Overall Rating for the Tileset: 8.0

A very good and accurate tileset from Duke Nukem 2. I am going to have to bug you on telling you to do more of DN2. This is absoluty good!

Too bad JJ2 does not use ladder features, otherwise, that would be cool with this tileset.

in the registered version, there is a brig level in each episode. most of them have other features. the shareware episode level is the only level to use the jail background.

A very good download to make a level out of.

I must say it goes here about a great conversion of the old Prince of Persia game! Why nobody did review this, I don’t understand. Anywayz:
Eyecandy:
Emm, hard to say :-P that’s because the original hadn’t that much eyecandy, too! But what I’ve found are some good things. Skeletons, a sword, poles, spikes, a door… He just looks like the original!! (I cant stop with saying that =D )

I tell you, it’s a great conversion. You must download this. If you play Prince of Persia 5 or something, and never seen how it started, you really have to download.

For this great tileset conversion, I must give an 8. I can’t make it lower…
And a download recommedation!

Satan is finally back with a review! and I can say that this is one of the better levels using Diamondus beta.

Gameplay: rating: 8.5
This level is pretty fun to play because there are many logical and fun things in this level. For example there are no dead ends at all. Also the level isn’t just platforms putten randomly in the air but full of places to investigate and run around. Also there are trees where you can stand on wich make the level more fun. The flow is also really well done, there are no irritating area float ups, also there are one ways where it should be. Ok and something really important: The level isn’t Spaz baised GG. There is also a secret warp which makes the level more fun and there are a lot of vines wich I like.

Leveldesign: rating: 8.5
The leveldesign is also really good in this level. The level isn’t just flat and platformy but it’s full of hills and hight levels. In the ground there are also brakes. Also ouside the range of the player there is ground and caves and that sort of stuff. The leveldesign is really like a outside world far away of humanity where little bunny’s fight each other.

Placement: rating: 8.3
The placement is also really well done. There are multiple groups of ammo spread out in the entire level and that’s good because I have seen levels which there is too much ammo on one spot, but not in this level. There are many powerups in the level and that’s ok because it’s a battle. Most of the powerups are not easy to get like the Seeker powerup and the RF powerup but Toaster and Bouncy is yours for the taking. There are also some fast fires and that’s also well placed. There is one thing I don’t like about the placement of the level and that’s the full energy carrot, since it’s a small level a full energy isn’t needed here and specially in battle a Full energy isn’t well, I prefer 2 1+ energy carrot on each side of the level. Last but not least the springs are very well placed and get’s me where I want to go and don’t bump me in walls. Good job!

Eyecandy: rating: 8.9
Finally we are at the best aspect of the level ‘‘THE EYECANDY’‘. The eyecandy is really good in this level. There are mountains in the background and that looks nice. There are also flowers, mushrooms, waterfalls, trees, diamonds, caves, bushes, falling leaves, water and it all looks great together. The animations are just perfect and the level is a pleasure for the eye. I think the eyecandy is just as good as ‘Garden Brawl’ by FiresworD. A really good job Booshi!

Extra stuff:
-Nope

Final rating: 8.5+8.5+8.3+8.9=34,2->-> 34,2:4=*8.6*

-Satan

Edit: since there are many powerups it’s good that there is a Full energy so I raise the level 0.1.
