The Race Level Was Better Than This Level.
(Unsupported rating removal. Can you describe what makes this level a 5.0? What are its good points? Bad? What could be improved? Do you have any suggestions, condemnations, appreciations? Can you tell us what the upload is like, so people can decide whether it is something that interests them or not? Original rating 5.0. ~Violet)[This review has been edited by Violet CLM]

This tileset looks like some odd dystopian combination of “Blasteria” and “Metal Mania.” Not that this is a bad thing at all.
The demo level sets the mood: You start by a lone blinking streetlight in the middle of an odd alien landscape with strange, green nebulai behind you. A moon – a few of them, in fact – can be viewed in the distance. It’s pretty, yet weird at the same time – perfect for a space-themed tileset.
What helps this tileset avoi falling into the realm of space tileset mediocrity like so many others do is the combination of “spaceyness” and the Disguise-like gradient use that strongly reminds me of another excellent weird tileset, “Metal Mania,” as I previously mentioned.
I have a few gripes with this tileset. Like with “Blasteria,” the other tileset that this reminds me of, the tiles seem to vary from quite realistic to near cartoony. This ends up conflicting a bit, and reducing the quality of the tileset. Case in point: the Star Trek-y “beam me up, Scotty” things that look like they would be used for warps but aren’t in the demo levels. They glow red through little holes in the top and bottom (there are two parts, one coming out from the ceiling and the other from the floor.) Compared to the background, this just does not look totally right. However, unlike in “Blasteria,” the cartoonyness is less polarized, making this a significantly more minor gripe than for that tileset.
The other annoyance is the foreground eyecandy. I have always been a proponent of foreground minimalism, and the blocks sort of look weird anyway. However, it is optional whether to use these or not, and I’d recommend against it personally, but it is again a choice.
Masking could use some work, especially in areas where you can get in between two diagonal blocks, which just is asking for trouble. Other than that, though, this is an excellent weird space-themed tileset that is sufficiently original as to not fall into “Mez01”-like cliche.
