Late CTF Level Review Number 12: Amstel CTF time

(Against my better judgment, I will review this level offline. I may later on adjust the rating when I finally get around to hosting this online.)

GAMEPLAY:

This level isn’t incredibly unbalanced, but it is small. It takes me only a few seconds to run base to base. This level also suffers from a few of the typical first level mistakes: bad spring placement, Spaz-bias, and borderless edges. Actually, the spring placement isn’t too bad; it just needs work in a few places. However, the layout is still much easier for Spaz to get around than for Jazz (since Spaz can double jump, of course). Also, the missing borders around the edges of the level are a big problem since this can allow for the flag bug to occur. I advise adding two tiles (three tiles recommended) to prevent this from ever happening. The only other major problems that need fixing are the few small dead-ends and pointless areas around the level.

EYE CANDY:

The eye candy in this level isn’t great. There are a few tiling errors here and there. More variety in tiles (as with the ground tiles) should have been used. And worst of all, there isn’t much of a background; there’s just a textured background to stare at while playing.

CARROT AND AMMO PLACEMENT:

There’s just a +1 carrot near the top middle (slightly closer to the red base). I suggest using one full energy carrot (or two on some occasions). And always try to make the carrot the same distance from each base. Ammo isn’t placed evenly much at all. Some places need more while others need less. Moving around some of the clumps of ammo would help. As for powerup placement, there’s just a blaster powerup which is much closer to the Red base than it is to the Blue base.

HOST THIS OFTEN?

No, but not too bad for a first level. This is a 5.7, but keep trying.

PS: To make better CTF levels, one must player many CTF levels.

Late CTF Level Review Number 11: Floating Town

(Against my better judgment, I will review this level offline. I may later on adjust the rating when I finally get around to hosting this online.)

GAMEPLAY:

This level seems to be better compared to the last time I saw it. It has a lot of platforms, especially near the top, but the flow is nice so I don’t mind. Base placement is questionable, even though I can see some effort was used to make the level more balanced. It’s still much easier to attack Red base than it is to attack Blue base since the Red base is in a much more open area. In fact, I don’t like that entire empty area right above the Red base. I also don’t see the point for that Float Up event near the bouncer powerup. That event might as well be removed.

EYE CANDY:

While the tileset used isn’t loaded with eye candy tiles, it does have a nice variety of tiles. The large solid bricks weren’t even used at all. This is the kind of tileset that requires eye candy to be one of the things added first, so I can see why eye candy was such a problem. But still, the eye candy could have been improvised. Anyway, the eye candy in this level is more or less average.

CARROT AND AMMO PLACEMENT:

The full energy carrot is placed alright, along with the three powerups. Ammo placement is decent, although it could have been distributed slightly better. For example, there seems to be too much ammo around the bouncer powerup. And maybe there should have been less pepper spray on the left side of the level. That’s all I have to say.

HOST THIS OFTEN?

Maybe on several occasions, but not too often. This level looks like it’s worth around a 7.5 or something.

PS: Towns were never meant to float. And this level loops to another level I don’t have.

Late CTF Level Review Number 10: The Junkyard

(Against my better judgment, I will review this level offline. I may later on adjust the rating when I finally get around to hosting this online.)

GAMEPLAY:

So far, this is the best level I’m reviewing in a long while. The layout is balanced for the most part, and it has decent flow. The only thing bad about it is I got stuck apparently where Labrat Kid did, but it only happened once and it seems avoidable. Extra one ways should have been added in any case.

EYE CANDY:

I suppose the eye candy is average (I never played JJ1 so I can’t tell for sure). What I can tell is that this level looks a little dull compared to the levels CelL and Violet made. But overall, it’s good eye candy.

CARROT AND AMMO PLACEMENT:

The full energy carrot and the +1 carrot are placed in the middle, so no complaints there. The ammo and the powerups are also placed well enough, so I won’t mention anything specific.

HOST THIS OFTEN?

Every now and then. This was a nice lazy review. I’ll give this a 7.7 for the time being.

PS: Some guy named “necros” made the “Grey Void” music. And no, not necros(FM). It’s all in the comments section of the mod file.

The Edit: Okay, so maybe an eight.[This review has been edited by BlurredD]

Late CTF Level Review Number 09: Carrot Chase CTF

(Against my better judgment, I will review this level offline. I may later on adjust the rating when I finally get around to hosting this online.)

GAMEPLAY:

This level has all of the things I now have come to expect: dead-ends, pointless areas, bad spring placement, lack of balance, not much flow, and annoying obstacles. Base placement could be a little better (mainly in surroundings, that is). And to my dismay, there are missing borders at the top. I don’t know why, but it’s missing.

EYE CANDY:

It’s average in some places while horrible in others. There are more tiling errors, so basically not much has changed since the last level.

CARROT AND AMMO PLACEMENT:

The full energy carrot is sort of in between the bases, so that’s almost good enough. Ammo placement is as bad as ever and powerup placement needs work as well.

HOST THIS OFTEN?

No. My rating is 5.5, so there you go.

PS: This review probably means nothing to you, but that’s OK. I like typing for fun. If you actually do care, read all of my reviews twice and see where your faults are.

Late CTF Level Review Number 08: Persian CTF OMB

(Against my better judgment, I will review this level offline. I may later on adjust the rating when I finally get around to hosting this online.)

GAMEPLAY:

I had low prospects after seeing how small this level was. Small and boring. I can’t really say too much about the balance, the flow, or the base placement, but the small size and the simple layout is enough to make this level no good. Actually, I can say a few things about the balance: the level should have been completely symmetrical. Since it’s not, it’s easier to climb up on the right side with the vines than on the left side with the palm trees. On second examination, it looks like the entire middle area of this level should be moved a few tiles to the left. I also don’t like the sudden pause in the tube. Slow tubes would have just been enough. And maybe there should be more coins required to use the coin warp. Or maybe those two coins should just be moved to opposite sides of the level or something like that. To conclude, this is basically the kind of level I could have made in less than five minutes.

EYE CANDY:

The eye candy has to be as boring as it could possibly get without actually being horrible. On second thought, the eye candy isn’t any good at all. Barely any tile variety is to be seen. The background is completely missing aside from the textured BG. This level also has its share of tiling errors. Make an attempt to add good eye candy next time.

CARROT AND AMMO PLACEMENT:

Seeing that there is a full energy carrot accessible through the warp, I’m not going to say anything bad about this. On the other hand, I will complain about the horrendous ammo and powerup placement. It’s all either near one of the bases or near the coin warp. This leaves the bottom left and right completely empty of anything whatsoever. How fun. I could also question Blaster powerup vs. Toaster powerup, but this level is bad enough so I’ll just stop here.

HOST THIS OFTEN?

I doubt anyone would anyway. 5.2 so try again.

PS: I don’t know if you’re actually trying to make good CTF levels or if you’re just trying to lower your average level rating. Use more effort in the near future. And this is TSF and it doesn’t use the Beach tileset, BTW.

Late CTF Level Review Number 07: Capture the flag

(Against my better judgment, I will review this level offline. I may later on adjust the rating when I finally get around to hosting this online.)

GAMEPLAY:

Oh look, another level where the J2O name and the actual name of the level differ. Let me start with the layout. It’s not very balanced at all with the blue base at the top left corner and the red base at the bottom left. Base placement like this requires an extra effort to keep the level balanced. While the flow isn’t as bad as it gets, it could be better in a lot of places. Better spring placement and less obstacles is a start. Relying less on platforms would be good as well. I know I don’t normally complain about this, but the top area is a little too open; I don’t enjoy blind jumps too much. And of course, there isn’t a border around the entire level. What could one expect from a first CTF level? A border along the edges of the level at least two tiles thick (three tiles recommended) would prevent the flag bug from appearing. But that’s not all. My biggest problem with this level is the shield. I’m surprised to still see someone place a shield like this in any level. Even worse, it’s right next to the carrot. That’s pure chaos. I only condone shields in a level if they aren’t too easily accessible (like if a coin warp is required or players can only get it once at the start). And an invisible pole: WHY? The last time I checked, Carrottus had pole tiles.

EYE CANDY:

Could be a lot better, but at least the tileset was used correctly for the most part. There isn’t much of a background aside from the textured background and the few tiles aligned with layer 4. The unmasked dark brown tiles (assuming everyone knows what those are) are not to be found in this level. The eye candy is close to being average except it falls short. Thus, I deem this below average.

CARROT AND AMMO PLACEMENT:

It looks like there’s just a full energy carrot near the top. If this carrot was lower or if there was another carrot, I could live with it, but that isn’t the case. I rather dislike the way the ammo is placed. It’s not distributed too evenly; its huge clumps here and small clumps there. I would say the ammo was placed for the sake of having ammo in the level. TNT and ice aren’t exactly needed in this level. And if they were, I would strongly recommend not adding much of it or in places where players will constantly get it accidentally. I’m also thinking there are way too many crates in this level. Crates tend to have lag problems connected to them, so the fewer, the better. Powerup placement also needs work. It seems as if the powerups were placed as if this was a battle level with no regards to the fact that this could make the level even more unbalanced.

HOST THIS OFTEN?

No way. I’m thinking of a number between 5 and 5.

PS: I find it odd how you beta-tested CTF levels without ever finishing one of your own. BTW, I enjoyed reading this level very much.

Late CTF Level Review Number 06: The Dark Dream

(Against my better judgment, I will review this level offline. I may later on adjust the rating when I finally get around to hosting this online.)

GAMEPLAY:

edits previous review

To no surprise, this level is also Spaz-biased with bad spring placement. Actually, this is much more Spaz-biased than the last levels. How could anyone play this and not notice the obvious problems with the flow? The flow is a whole lot worse than in the War Time! level, which is easy to tell. I have to say that while balance isn’t the biggest problem for once, the layout is still horrible. This level isn’t even completely symmetrical. There are still the same dead-ends and pointless areas as seen in previous levels, such as much of the bottom area of the level. I should also mention the size of the level didn’t help.

EYE CANDY:

Still bad. It’s still boring. It still completely lacks variety in tiles. The tileset is still used incorrectly. And the background tiles are messed up. Work on this, please.

CARROT AND AMMO PLACEMENT:

Carrot placement is good enough from what I can tell. Ammo placement still needs some work. There are multiple powerups of the same weapon for no good reason, so I advise not to do this. I’m probably making this review too short, but I seem to keep repeating myself with each review.

HOST THIS OFTEN?

Not a chance. 5.5, so there.

PS: Either you aren’t listening to your beta-testers, or your beta-testers are doing an awfully bad job at giving good advice. Something needs to change there. And I don’t know where exactly the assault part comes in. I should probably take off points for that, but I won’t.
