Homeworks. School. Detention.

Never before has such simple words caused such great fear. But now, you can put an end to it, at least, in a virtual world, by using the School v3 tileset by Midn (did I spell the name correctly?) to create your ideal school. :-)

The tileset is much better than its predecessors, School v2 and v1 (although I must admit, I was more impressed by v1 than v3) and the tileset is exactly what its name says. It’s a school. :-) Quite a nice school too, with everything a modern torture house for youngsters have. Soda machines, desks, books, libraries, computers, angry teachers, black boards, students, bullies, dirty toilets, yucky food and various sports equipments.

First, I was a bit put off by the bad masking of the teachers since you always tend to bump into them. Also, I dislike the masking of the yellow ropes and the book shelves. They slow you down too much and you’re never sure whether they are masked or not. This can lead to problems in multi-player lvls since ppl will get roasted if they accidentally bump into things.

But enough of the bad news!

Even though the occasional teacher or bookshelf gets into your way, it does not matter a single bit if you look at the rest of the tileset.

School’s eyecandy is so detailed and comes in such a great variety that once I found myself stopping to admire the walls and got killed by a turtle. :-D I have never, ever seen such detailed eyecandy before and in fact, it’s so detailed my eyes hurt now. Evil looking eyes looks out from cracks in the walls, graffiti decorate the blackboards, uncountable school utilities and equipment fill the class rooms and I haven’t even mentioned the teachers and students yet. Ppl who thinks that their tileset has got good eyecandy should definitely take a long look at School.

Ok, so there’s nothing wrong about the eyecandy. What about the tiles? Are everything a tileset needs there? Midn hasn’t forgotten anything. There are purple suckertubes (I’m a bit doubtful about the colour purple, but as long as the tubes work…), destruct blocks in form of books (a note: I didn’t destroy any English books ;-), vines, hooks and of course poles (sadly, not V-poles, I couldn’t find any).

Because of the detailness and the masking, School is better suited for (gah!) hotels and single-player lvls because the player has more time and doesn’t need to watch out for opponents and thus ignoring the eyecandy.

If you happen to not like the masking at all, download School for its eyecandy. If you don’t like the eyecandy and the masking, download anyway because I said so. :-P

Great tileset, excellent eyecandy and very original. A little more work on the masking would earn this tileset a big, fat 9.

Strong download recommendation.

Cheers,

White Rabbit.

W0000PEE!! I GOT THE LONGEST REVIEW!!! :-P

Ok, I’ll rate this since noone else dares to…

Well, to be honest, I’d say this is a more mellow version of the Technoir song. Too mellow for my tastes, Technoir (pronounced TechnoWar) should have a more..violent song (it’s a war zone out there).
Still the author did a nice job of remixing. He doubled the amount of patterns for the intro (me likes, gets you into the song), replaced instruments (some are better than the original) even his voice is in it (?) And guess what: it says in the details some samples are by Alexander Brandon (the JJ2 and JJ3 musician) How about that?

Conclusion:
Not bad, with some tweaking it can be improved. Not the kind of music I’d use for a level, just for listening. A 7 with a .2 bonus (for trying)

No reviews? People! Music is also important!

Hm, the rating is better than in Letni Mini Remix. So I think I’ll make Orbitus Remix (also named as Eye Scream). ^_____[This review has been edited by JSZ Jazz]

I just like this level, okay, the layer 3 is not very good, overall the eyecnady not, but the gameplay is good. It’s just two mirrored parts, but also, nice level. Don’t make too much levels with WarTorn plz, only that Miky makesa very kewl level with it. I see too much levels with it now. Download reccomdation (<<< Something)

I agree..! these levels suck, but i wont give them more than 1.2 HA!
BUH
