That is not a lame review. It is called “Constructive Criticism” telling what could be better in their opinion. It may sound a little harsh/rude but if you want to improve you need to be able to endure that. But GAMER, there are some levels that use the Aryx mod. They get downloaded, and people without the tracker don’t know who made it. Anyways, for the review.
And a little note:

The music is a example for the Modplug Tracker ;) Music: ????!

Layout
It is quite good. It is devided in platforms, reachable with springs.It is also quite easy to get from one base to the other.

Gameplay
There are alot of sucker tubes and springs. Some of the springs are a tad unneeded. Some of the Sucker Tubes are hidden, but some are also pointed out. Resulting that the hidden ones are quite easy to find.

Eye Candy and Music
It is okay, it has some transparant windows where you can look at the rockets and stuff. I agree with GAMER that there are a little bit too much stones flying there. Also, there is this part with those yellow blocks. They just look quite strange. There are other blocks. Maybe you could have used the blocks 3 tiles under the empty one. Because the other area with the same shape looks a little bit better with those tiles.

There are also places with suckertubes. Some nice transparant windows there too ^_ Also, somewhere there is an 3way PU, but I think thats for powering up the ship thing you are in. There is no way of getting that thing. Haven’t seen it before…

Music… Is okay.

Weapon and stuffu Placement
Quite good, but there is a little too much ammo. here are 2 PU’s. Toaster and Bouncy. ALOT of Seekers, that is quite not good, but Wha? A Seeker POWERUP that is easily reachable. Mweh… But for the rest, there is also alot of variation.

I don’t know for carrots, but I have only seen one full health carrot. nothing else… If there is another carrot, I am blind.

Great job Blackraptor! As I like to think and i know all your levels rock, here is an addition! Okay, here is my STOOPID review: ;D Eyecandy: My rating: 10/10 just… Comments: Okay, i love the background, and i especially like the lava use at the bottom with warps and stuff. Also the tileset used is really overused IMO. The level doesn’t get dull in the eyecandy and the level is nearly symmetrical, and is solid and platformy at good places. Gameplay: My Rating: 7/10 Comments: Well, over here the gameplay is good, but i don’t like it too much. It has a very original idea to it, which is good. One thing I don’t like is that there is hardly any springs. But the idea of a suckertube with a base inside is good. It can be kind of annoying in this level because of the warps at the bottom that take you back to the base you were last at. I don’t really like that, but it is a really cool idea, so good thinking! ;D Placement: My Rating: 9/10, just… Comments: I have hardly any comments here, but all i remember is that the placement was good. But the power-ups need electro blaster to get them. It is used quite a lot, but I can’t live with it. (-1) Overall: My Rating: 8.7 Comments: This level has a 85% chance of must download. DOWNLOAD IT NOW, YOU CRAP!

… Include the tileset in your zip and upload it again .

I like reviewing, so I’ll review this set now :P

TILESET
The tileset has some very well made graphics, but sadly it’s rather small. It doesn’t have enough stuff to make an interesting level at all. Like said before, the graphics are nice, but the background is confusing and hard to use. Also I don’t really know what it should be in general. There isn’t any foreground stuff, and only one thing to use at the background. That’s too less to make good eyecandy with this set.
SCORE: 6.0 out of 10

LEVEL
The example level is ok, it shows what you can do with some tiles (hooks, hurts and stuff), but it doesn’t have enemys, food and all that other stuff you need in a level. Also, as I played the level I didn’t realize that weird thing was supposed to be a sucker tube :P All in all, the level could be more detailed, tough I think it uses all the tiles.

3.0 out of 5

MUSIC
The level uses the Hell music, which surprisingly fits very well.

4.0 out of 5

CONCLUSION
Well, this set has an interesting idea, but it’s too small and there isn’t enough stuff to do with it. Tough, keep in mind that I have seen much worther tilesets than this, and it isn’t very hard to use (except the background, which I couldn’t get like I wanted it to be). Use this? Well, maybe for a battle level once. But for single player it just doesn’t have enough stuff.
SCORE: 6.0

Have fun

NOTES:
Cooba: In my opinion rating example levels is ok, as long as it doesn't affect the final score as much as the tileset itself. ALSO DON'T CALL ME PARP OR A POLAR BEAR WILL COME AND EAT YOU :P ToxicBunny: I’ll vote for the set on the poll now, good luck.
EDIT:

GOOD
-better example level
-better background
-sucker tube now looks more like a sucker tub
-some new tiles

BAD
-background has the same color than the normal walking ground (it should be a bit darker)
-background is the same as the sprite layer ground in smaller

I like this set a lot more now, and I’ve also finished my own level with this set today. Rating raised to 6.7

OK, to be honest i prefer JJ2 tubelectric. But this is great. I’m rating the conversion not the tileset. Great job NOKA! Here is my review: There are things for each layer, and basically no masking bugs. This tileset has some really cool extra tiles and the tiles of loading, the level. LOADING TUBELECTRIC. This looks ideally like JJ1 Tubelectric, except it has better graphics. Also this tileset has the animations of JJ1 and more. Newspaz already made a conversion of this. But this one is better. Here is my rating, you deserve it! WELL DONE NOKA!

GREAT LEVEL! I’m not really a fan of CTF, but i’ve dueled here like a million times. :P HERE IS MY REVIEW: Eyecandy: The eyecandy isn’t magnificent, nor is it bad. The front layers and the sprite got used nicely, no bugs. It isn’t easy to get stuck but you can. The level is half symetrical, in a way, and the middle is really platformy. Gameplay: The gameplay is really good. The bases are next to eachother, but with a wall in between them. There are 3 power-ups, i think. The springs are placed professionally. There are turrets which are pleasing. And there is suckertubes, which i really like. I would rate the gameplay a 9.7 here. Placement: THE PLACEMENT IS EXCELLENT! It is placed very professionally, seeing as when you hit a spring you will get all the pieces of ammo, Which is extremely good. Placement would get a 10 from me

Now this is a good level, a battle but it has a few things that bring it down. Here is my review VIOLET CLM! Eyecandy: The eyecandy here is really cool! I love the way there are sludge balls change color and move up and down. This is excellent. There doesn’t seem to be any bugs on the sprite. Gameplay: The gameplay here is great, The suckertubes are really cool. But what brings this down is that there are a few (actually a lot of) dead-ends. That kind of brings it down. Apart from that it rules. Placement: The pickup placement again is great and that is great! Overall: This level is great, it just needs less dead-ends. Download: YES!

Cooba, Spazie: No, the quicksand is not ripped from JJ1. I can easily create hundreds of duplicate tiles in no time at all, if you’d like me to prove that. Few things are more simple than drawing that tile. Your confusion may be due to the fact that I used palette swapping for animation, like in JJ1.
Moonblaze: YES! I forgot a SUN! I ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! …the textured background colors are the sunset itself, though.
PHT: The example level is a race level. Races have ice ammo and no enemies. Ask anyone except maybe Bjarni.

I won’t rate this but:

PLEASE PUT YOUR TILESET IN YOUR .zip FILE!!

I really like this tileset, you did a good job with it. A nice variety of tiles, lots of different colours, the texture is sweet and enough background layer eyecandy to prevent it all from looking boring. Don’t see any problems in the mask either.

Nice drawing style too, I can see some sweet levelmaking potential here. Good luck to you in the contest, personally I think you did a better job than me.

Did you notice I put something on the foreground layer 2. And you might not of noticed snow (which may count).

No eyecandy??

Edited!
