Hmm……Not many missing tiles, but then again, exoticus didnt have as many tiles. The tileset is to small, tons of stuff could of been added. I can only reccomed this to people who dont have the original exoticus tileset conversion. This isnt a very lively conversion[This review has been edited by Blackraptor]

Level rating: 8.1

As I recall there was a jj1diamondus tileset in this level pack. I needed that one…

Some levels were really small like diamondus cave, and I didnt like them.
Screwed CTF was also very small and confusing, and liable to flag bug. I didnt like it.Shine-o-rific land rocked, although the coin limit mauy have been high. EvilMike1, which i am pretty sure is a battle level, has the left side open and it kinda misses out on a lot of things. I didnt like it much, but it was better than some levels in the pack. Diamondus pit wasnt that bad, it was ok. Though Ive seen way better diamondus levels. Diamondus forest, eyecandy was ok, maybe too confusing, and I despised the layout. Desert of death: Tileset not found? :l Some level or something: The eycandy i liked, though it was confusing. The layout wasnt that bad, but the music was missing…Big O: cool tileset, awesome music. Tileset use wasa bit confusing though, so was the layout, which i feel was spaz biased. A bit to many electric cords: Not too bad, though the music was yet again missing.EvilSmile: Lol funny level, but to small, and i feel a greater variety of gems could of been used. I hate this tileset: The level wasnt actually that bad, though I cannot say the same for the tileset…Castle chaos: At first i thought this was a race, then battle. Please include what type of gameplay these levels represent (treasure, CTF etc.) If its battle, there are way to much destruct blocks here. Despite the many little things i despised and even though this sucks compared to some other battle levels, I liked this level. I am strangely addicted to the tileset andthe music was AMAZING! Mikes castle: The left side is completely open, and the layout seriously distrubed me. I didnt like this much. EvilMikes hidden temple: This is one of the few levels I actually liked, though id rate this no more than a 6.. Storm CTF: love the backround and the creative tileset use (though confusing), the layout was still evil though.Cheese is green on tuesday: Not too bad for a race level. Though the springs were annoying, there were to much jagged edges and the passages were to small. Some times it was way to dark as well.(whatever the name of this is, its to long and complicated): Was bettet than the last level. The yoghurt is after me: lol, name fits the level. Th gems are very sparce, a CTF BASE!!!?Wasnt this suppose to be treausre….The temple: I was really frustrated by this and couldnt find a way out. The items=underused and the nemies=ooverused.Bonus level: GASP BONUS =O! I liked this level, it was good, i like these types of levels, they are good. Deserted diamondus: the final level. IT was ok, though could of been much better, as well as much worse.

My final rating: Probably a 5.5. This may seem strict or unfair to you, EvilMike or the admins, but the rating is what I think these levels deserve. Most of them are no more than average, and some are slightly below. I feel EvilMike spend half an hour on some of them, or maybe less. There are many cons in these levels, and I didnt like them. Though there is a lot, quality over quantity ppl. Again, sorry for the strict rating. Ill think Ill give it a 5.7 instead..

Ok, here is my long review. I have encountered problems, but i found out its because of the version of the set i have os an older one, not the newer ones.
So here goes my review:
Level 1: A short, but well made cutsene, nothing more to say, same goes for level 2
Level 3: A short cutsene, not as “special” as the last two…
LEvel 4: I didnt like this level, some screwed up parts, and i dunno why i kept getting hurt all the time, and i couldnt do anything to stop me from getting hurt, so i didnt quite understand this level.
Level 5: Another short cutsene
Level 6: Not a cutsene, but to short and not really fun to play.
Level 7: SO far the best level probably, good animations and tile use, but eyecadny could use more work and the level lacks ammo, and food was very sparce.
Level 8: at first it was a bit fun playing the level, but the level lacked ammo placement, and it was possible to fall off the level and fall endlessly, which wasnt good. I didnt like this one to much iehter.
Level 9: The level has SOME gems and SOME ammo and SOME eyecandy, but it was confusing, short, and not that fun to play, to short…..

Level 10: A bit confusing, but ok. Hadsome gmes in the “bonus planet”, about an average level.

Level 11: sigh to much cutsenes, need more levels to play, not to stare at what happens. I dont really know what this cutsene is even suppose to represent..

Level 12: The lognest level so far probably. The start of it was ok, but the part where tomator said you wont get through this, i think jaws want to purposly slaughter jazz, because that is almost impossible to pass (unless you cheat). Take it easy jaws ;P
Level 13: Interesting idea, good and gun, expect i was ticked by the annoying choice of enemies. I really dont like sparks here, tehy make the level more confusing and its hard to hit them in this terrain, same with walking suckerz when you are on the airboard, they are too low…..
Level 14: A fun level, running with tomator and the vikings, but to short and lacked ammo and food..
Levek 15: The vikings reached home, the 346th time, now some person will probably make another lost viking episide where they get caught again. I think this cutsene like level was made to torment tomator…
Level 16: Credits….
OVERALL: Just a small note, sorry for the excessive amount of negativity in the review, i tried making it as positive as possible, but i just didnt like the pack as much, please dont take it as a personal attack. Anyways, some ok levels which lack some stuff, but they’re ok.
Pros: The animations were really good (3.5), the story was ok (0.5), good use of triggers and such (1.0), and some levels were fun and ok (1.0). Also, Erik, Barleog and Olaf are included (0.2) and they were funny in the original game. Jaws tried to imitate the puzzle idea in the lost vikings, but you didnt have to think as much for it.
Cons: Levels were to short(-0.5) and sometimes hard and confusing(-0.5). Also, they lack placement and eyecandy (-1.2).
Pros and Cons rating: 4, which is to harsh for this, so ill give it a 6.7, considering the time he spent making the levels and finding the musics.
So download this if you want, but it isnt really one of those packs like The episode or Night world, but its strange, and you may even grow fond of these types of packs, so download it if you want.

(Sorry, again, for the strict rating. I just didnt like these types of levels as much. If the level was more longer and had better eyecandy and placement, then it might have gotten a 9 from me, but for now ill keep it to 6.7.)

Just a few more j1 tilesets now……..

The tileset, although it looks cool, is missing a lot of the tiles violet usually puts in his conversions. Im not exactly sure what is missing and what isnt, but i can tell that this is an ok conversion. Yes, a textured backround would of been better, but this was violets first conversion, and he was just getting the hang of it then, so you cant blame him if it isnt “complete”[This review has been edited by Blackraptor]

I love the original tubelectric, though this set misses some tiles, only a few. There also should of been incluuded some destruct blocks and poles etc, then id give it a higher rating that my 7.[This review has been edited by Blackraptor]

What is your secret? This tileset, I am not worthy of it. Its great for creating any tipes of levels!

Not only that, but it is SO userfriendly, when u get used to it that is. The eyecandy can be great, not as good as the eyecandy in other levels, but great. The color is also great, it seriously rocks. Yes it misses somethings, but it still is great. Not as low as an 8, but a 9.9, again rounded to a 10. Yes people, a 10, go sue me now.

If you are still reading, here comes the boring part:
You can make very good levels with this, with an indoor and outdoor layout. It also has keys and switches of different color suitable for making trigger zones. Not only that, but its one of the most userfriendliest tilesets agama has to offer. It has good ground eyecandy, and you can make a cave with this tileset if you are good at using it. The holy rabbits look so cool, wiht that special light around them. It has cool inscriptions and pictures, as well as foregroudn and backround eyecandy clouds. Definetly one of the better tilesets and in the top 10 for me. Oh, and it also has animating glowing bones, and doors which you can make open and close. The fountain looks kinda cool, you can hide stuff with it. My conclusion, a great userfriendly colorful tileset made by agama. Although great to use, it is not agama’s best. Still worth a big download reccomedation and the low 10 points im giving it.[This review has been edited by Blackraptor]

Why review this when everyone else already did? It’s pointless. Nice work with the J1 tilesets Haze!

Edit: Ok , i feel like typing in a review. Some tiles are missing, i think, but im not 100% sure. The tileset features a combination of 3 jj1 tilesets. Although i didnt like this as much, its an ok conversion for people to download

Ive seen some levels made with this, and they look great!But i think ill keep my mark at 7.7. This is an interesting tileset which can make levels turn out excellent if used properly.[This review has been edited by Blackraptor]

Im sorry, but I dont think these levels are that perfect. Good story though.

To tell the truth, the story is the only thing that prevented me from giving this a 4.7. No offence, k, but the levels are to short and mostly only have enemies and text lines. The story was very creative though, and i dont know how in the world u came up with it, but it is very imaginative. There are some cool parts to this, but moslty its just reading text and shooting badguys. Not much fun, but a good story[This review has been edited by Blackraptor]

You’re right disguise, this isnt “just another nature tileset”. It’s a GREAT nature tileset. We will definetly see some levels with this one.

It has wicked color, nothing morew tp say about that. The tiles are so cool, there are 3 different types which all rock. Some VERY good levels can be made with this. There are trees and stuff for eyecandy ,and a nice working backround. As well as some interesting rain and water. A definete download reccomedation
