To short. You cant see or realize what is going on at start.
-Eyecandy is good
-some lot of animations
-looks good but if very very short. Make this longer or alot of short levels in a pack.
I don’t recommend for downloading unless you are very bored
Sue me, but I don’t think too well of this tilest. Yes, of course, it’s a very large tileset, but just like Hotel Heroes, (Or any other cheap tileset creator ;-P) half of the tileset… are just the orginal part of it, copied and pasted on a background tile so you don’t have to waste layer number five. (Peharps incase you want to fill extra much background layers) While there is nothing wrong with doing so; it doesn’t impress me in any kind and make me feel better about the tileset.
Like the majority of average tilesets, Technoir does only have one tile for each kind of ground set. There’s a very few detailed tiles in the ground tiles, but not varity like in Epic’s tileset or other talented tileset creators’. Examples goes to the brown tube: The only detail is a hole. Okay so it’s a brown tube with the same hole variously places, depending on the level designers creativity. The best varity is seen on the pink ground road.
The next problem about this tileset is the theme graphic. Lots of the tiles are drawn in paint; completely, while others are one hundred percent textured in a photo editing program. Combinated in a level, this does not fit very well together and looks very ugly/funky. I learned this importnant lesson by Flash who pointed it out in one of my own tilesets, you’d better try to make the tiles suit eachother so combinating them doesn’t break the eyecandy with a graphical border.
Also on the subject of theme, I do not like the tileset theme. Let’s just resume. A dark reddish toxic city with pink candy-like bricks, grey metal, and brown tubes? Is this sugar city or? Now that Sirus was mentioned; it is a good example of a themed tileset; even the tiles are drawn out from different jj1 tilesets they still suit a space theme. While tileset themes can be ignored; it’s diffinately what adds quality to the tileset and levels made by it. Or we’d rather be using an ugly block tileset.
One of the posetive sides of the tileset are some of the orginal details it has. The statue of metal is very cool and unique looking, as example. You could make some good levels out of this, but you’ll need to spend time in a try to form your own unique details.
I recom to download this set, but some of the tiles and/or animations are ripped from other sets. Specially the lava bubble animation, who are taken from censored.

hshshshssshahahaa
Okay, well there are only two (I believe) modificated copied animations – but still there are modificated a lot.
But Danyjel you don’t have right, the ground is mine – and how you can say that I only modificated tiles from other tilesets? I did all the sets by myself (besides the jj2 signs and some modificated animations!)

I start over with my review because my #%!!# pc did weird.
EYECANDY:
Okay!!! The eyecandy looks oke there are a lot of eyecandy stuff Like Snow. There is also a lot of eyecandy things in layer 5 and 6 like carrots and snow and more. I kinda miss the The standard background like the normal levels. On some spaces the level looks empty. There are no eyecandy things in layer 7. I didn`s say any eyecandy bugs that`s good. There could be more eyecandy in layer 4 but it`s not really a bad thing. The castles also looks fine. The animations are also good. Btw i forgot to tell you that i don`t really like the fast clouds it looks a little bit weird. Layer 3 is right used. Layer 3 mostly hides the secrets in the level but it also have some eyecandy things like at the entrance of the castles and some snowy grass in the level.
PLACEMENT:
Okay!!! The ammo is okay placed in the hole level there are all kinds of ammo and also a lot of Ammo barrels.There are also some powerups let mee see what kind of powerups looking Ahaaa i found three powerups. All the powerups are fair placed in each castle there is a powerup. In the bleu base there is a Toaster powerup Nooo wait there is a toaster powerup in the red castle and a bouncy powerup in the bleu base dumb me. Oh i forgot there is also a 3rde powerup where is that powerup again Thinking Ahaa In the coin shop. In the coin shop there is a big and good powerup hail to the power off triple RF missle lovely. The carrots are unfair placed there are 2 carrots. 1 carrot is in the bleu castle and there is no Carrot in the red castle that`s unfair. There is also a Full energy carrot in the shop that`s good. The coins are in the level somewhere let me search searching Ahaa there are a lot of secrets and there are the coins hiding. The springs are good placed nothing more nothing less.
GAMEPLAY:
Fine!!! Let`s say that it is easy too get the flag. You only have to run too the other castle and you have it. The special thing about the level is the secrets in the level. Each Castle have a couple of secrets where there are a lot of ammo and coins. I like the secret that`s in the ground where you go slowly in the ground. There is also a secret so you can get to the top of the castle good. I dislike the door that`s going open and then it closes. Thanks to the one carrot in the bleu base and not in red the gameplay Strubles back a little. I don`t think i have any more to say about the gameplay. Wait there is one thing i forgot. The hole level needs to be masked or it will give Bugs.
OTHER:
Alright!!! The size of the levels is good and there are original things in the level. Could use sound effects for the fire but that`s not needed.
Okay level a €_7.7_€
This is super example of remake. You could see it in Sirius. I love Sirius, that is something old in new concept, in modern concept, in more quality concept. This is totally awesome remake. Yes. I think second best remake on J2O. But is here something good on tileset like regular tileset? Of course. 3 colors of tileset, lot of usable tiles, author didn’t forget to layers. Good.
But.
Lot of unusable tiles there (…), in true it’s not original (except some supremely original tiles). But lie was stronger and this unoriginal tileset looks like super, cool, amazing and awesome tileset. Everybody must see small inspire of Technoir. It’s only small, but effect is so big like inspire is small. At end, this is really great tileset which can be really easy to use but it can be very hard, if you want to use all nice tiles. I think this is tileset for everybody, so, if you have not this wonder, click here now and make some new good level for us.
Just Noka, make remake of this tileset (lol), little great remake of non-this tileset, little… Something like this what will run under 1.23.
D/L it now everybody!
D/L!
D/L it!
D/L OMG D/L!
D/L it now.
Kool tileset[This review has been edited by Danyjel]
well.
The eyecandy rocks
ammo rocks
( placed ) goodies placed good. only
its to small. nice boss chosen.
baddies placed good.
But its really to small.
Here a 7.2!
Hey dude (lol)
This level has a good layer 4 and 8
not much eyecandy, but enough.
Its looks very nice, no wall bugs or so.
And you maked the most eyecandy in layer 4, nice.
Its not very long, so its a avarage level.
Good tileset use
Good gameplay
Good enemy’s
Bad/avarage size
I make this a 7(.2)
Very nice levels.
I dont rate cuzi dont say much, but i agree with blurredD
In one sentence – you made it.
So many of pocuses to make some good CTF game. So many good pocuses, but only pocuses. Still pocuses. Again pocuses. Always only pocuses. This is different. This is real. All elements are good or fantastics, almost no average. Almost. Like always, worst is ammo placement. I can’t imagine Snooz’s level with good ammo placement. And long time I will. If you want to make level with good ammo placement, say goodbye to pepper spray. It’s weapon for change it… Nobody is using it, it’s truly for nothing. I don’t know but I think I never will see Snooz’s good level in all ways. Other elements are okay, it’s big and it’s funny. And, like always, this level has briliant eyecandy. Snooz replaced bad ammo placement with super eyecandy. But this is more, more better than normally. I am recommending to download this level because it’s one from best (I liked some Winter level too), maybe the best Snooz’s level. Congratulations, Snooz.

MoonBlaze, if yor tilesets ar so great, yor just jaloes! Nothing more.[This review has been edited by Ðx]
The textured background, to me, seemed a little out of place in the tileset. I made the black background to show how it really was a “reactor core.”
This, I like. Normally, I dislike single colour type tilesets, but at least this has some good eyecandy and a general theme, unlike many “colour” tilesets. Masking seems adequate. The set isn’t very original, but good.
RATING: 7.2
:S I think I might retire from J2O Level uploading. Thanx for breaking my spirit :S
