This level is, uh… Wierd.

Well, I don’t like the design a ton, but it might be fun on the internet. I don’t rate these things on online, play really. :-)Anyway, I think there are too many small little platforms, you should make a decent amount of them, and different sizes. Not to mention, too many powerups,

also. Overall, 4.7, I give this.

Heh, this level seems rather familiar to me, too. For some weird reason, i already had the Battle version in my TSF folder.
However, no matter how old it is, its still very good. Both, layout (including weapon selection) and eyecandy are very well made.
MEZ!‘s second tileset is pretty underused, but Newspaz really made a good map out of it.
Because i’m not the born CTF fanatic, i recommend you, the players, to use this as a Battle level as well. Its fun.
You should not miss "The Blue, White, Red and Green" (which is the actual, boring title of the level). Simply click on the link that says "DOWNLOAD!" :-)

P.S.:
Uh…no music! Very bad idea!!! And your excuses are too cheap, New. I actually hate levels without music so please put a bg tune next time :-)

A decent level by NewSpaz. Uses the Mez02 tileset… hmm, it seems rather familiar, oh yeah, you hosted this a while ago. I remember now. :-)

The eye candy here is sorta basic, doncha think? However Mez02 IS the hardest of the Mez sets IMO.. I honestly felt this fit battle better, but that’s just me. You should also improve the navigation, needs more springs.

All and all this gets a d/l recommendation from me, sooo, get downloading. :-)

A nice set. I am not going to rate it according to the example level. An example level only has one function: to show the user how to use the set. Even if it is tiny or unfinished i don’t care at all. Some people make these huge example levels (like me :) with less than half of the tiles and the functions they perform, in my case that is the wrong way to make an example set. It’s a nice set, has a gradiency and various textures to add that extra bit of realism some of us don’t dare to touch ;)
One thing that would’ve been nice is to make extra tiles to connect the vine and trees, also tiles that connect the dark background thingy to the platforms you walk on. There might still be people out there that play in low detail, and using extra layers apart from 3 and 4 will make it look buggy for the ppl who are in low detail, it will also ‘limit’ the level for those level designers who like to use every layer to the ultimate in graphics and detail :)

I myself wouldn’t build a level with this, but it looks like something someone would build with. Good job NewSpaz.

Not bad, this tileset. It features some snowy landscapes and some additional christmas goodies.
I don’t care if you want to hear my opinion on the example level: Its unfinished and it doesnt look very good. You should have spent more time on that.
Apart from that, i don’t have much to say here. It is a good tileset that everyone should download for christmas and make a level or two out of it.

A good tileset by NewSpaz. Since you don’t like me bickering about an example level, I won’t. ;-)

I like the way the snow looks (sorta has a 3d effect), and the example level shows a few decent ways to use this set. The gingerbread guys sorta look like they were copied from the JJ1 set, but oh well.

Since I don’t use custom sets, I’m not going to use this set. But all you tileset fans should get this. :-)

Exactly, Newspaz. Although you don’t need to “shout” :p

That’s why I’m not going to release my future tilesets here (if I ever finish them). (Don’t get me wrong… I love J2O and the download section. It’s just I really don’t like people whining about an example level for a tileset).

Anyhoo.

This tileset is quite nice. I just wish that there were working textured background(s) and a bit more scenery, etc.. Plus there are some useful tiles which are missing (Shoot’em blocks, etc..).

Hm.
Unfinished example level. No music and no name. You should make a battle/CTF/single player level with this tileset and then send the whole pack here.
Tileset is not very beautiful. Lots of empty tiles. Newspaz has also copied graphics from original Jazz2 tilesets.
I think this is still pretty nice tileset. Good work, Newspaz!

Whoa very nice tileset by the NewSpaz. Not too many tiles but i dont see any useless tiles. Some animating tiles would be nice though, but can’t really complain about this one. Also the author added an example level (which could be a bit better) but overall a very nice tileset :-)

A nice, well made tileset.

I think it would benefit from a nicer background, though.

Seems to be a good, green & slimy (j/k) tileset that has some very useful tiles.
Add an example level and i’ll rate it 7. Very high six points for now.

Simple, but not bad… I really don’t see a lot of capability from this, though… I agree with Disguise, you should always include an example level. Makes the set seem much more usable that way.

Oh yes, I wanted to add somehting else. If u would’ve spent just a few more hours working on an example level showing how to use the tiles properly ur rating would’ve been boosted. Tilesets can look like a proper mess after being put together, and if a person would have to look at the mess instead of what the tileset is capable of they would not rate it as high. Never rush a tileset.

NOTE: I’m not saying ur tileset looks like a mess, that’s just an example.

No example level, bad, I like having a look at how the designer of the set uses the set for the purpose he made it for. For me a set without an example level is incomplete.
Some nice textures and gradient effects, the set is mostly green, very small, but i’m sure that’s not a problem looking at the quality of the tiles :)

The set was made in two days, i would rather not congratulate you because of fear that an epidemic might start to see who made their set the fastest. I’m actually tempted to rate it a little lower because of that, but because i’m a good guy i’d rather not. There is now way I can tell how much pre-planning was made, and the other reason is some of my sets were made in the same time, but those included weeks and weeks of pre-planning.
