Level rating: 6.4

6.7

ok, I am first rater.
Gameplay: Good. It is good, but I saw many warps on JCS that are unnecessary. Spring placement was good, and the level is small.
Eye candy: Good. There was not that many, the background was good and the sprite layer and layer 3 didnt have alot. layer 5 also didnt. Other layers were used too, except 1.
Pickup placement: Good. This is the best point in the level , although there was not many. There were 2 +1 carrots, which one at each base. Its not that good, cause one full energy in the middle should be better. There were 2 power-ups. There is not many space between them, the bouncer is closer to the red, the toaster to the blue.
Others: Host often: Not often, 1 or 2 times maybe.
Download: maybe.
I give this level a 6.7[This review has been edited by da man]

Ok, I am first rater. Finally!
Gameplay: Good. Its good, but not better then that. There were only a few springs. You used some sucker tube, thats nice. There was a coin warp which is original in battle levels. Its almost good/very good.
Eye candy: Very Good. I loved it, although it was confusing in some places. Excellent sprite layer eye candy and other layers were used too. Not all layers were used but its very good.
Pickup placement: Good/Very Good. Some good ammo placed although there was some ice too and some carrots. Thats good. The bonus has a Seeker Power-up and a Full Energy, it could be more in a bonus of 20 but OK. There were four other power-ups, Bouncer, Ice, Toaster and Blaster. I think that four power-ups is too many in a level of this size.
I gonna give this level a 8 and a download recommendation. Good job, Dx;)
You may also host this. Bad that its 1.24 cause I could include it in my pack with the best 1.23 levels of 2003.[This review has been edited by da man]

Ok, I want to review this great level.
Gameplay: Good/Very Good. Excellent gameplay, but, some places without springs. It would be perfect if there were some springs in some other places.
Eye candy: Very Good. I loved the eye candy, everywhere in the level was something to see. I cant give a perfect for it cause there is not on every place the same amount of eye candy. On some places there could be not the same as in others, but its very good, though
Pickup placement: Good/Very Good. Ammo placement was very nice, the pickup placement too, but there could be more ammo in some places. There were a few carrots, which is good. The power-up placement was also nice.
Overall: Good/Very Good level. Almost very good, which means a 8.5
Host this: Of course
Download: A big download recommendation for this excellent level

Ok, I promised to give a review, I saw that this level is uploaded, so here I go.
Gameplay: Good/Very Good. Excellent gameplay, but there are places where you run in for some ammo and you need to go back. Thats a con but for the rest, excellent gameplay.
Eye candy: Good/Very Good. Very nice eye candy here, but there could be more in some places. But its well-done.
Pickup placement: Good/Very Good. It’s also nice, but there could be more ammo cause it is a big level. That coin warp was not too good, though. 6 Fast fire for 10 coins and 1 Seeker power-up and some Seeker ammo for 20. The rest of the ammo was nice placed.
Others:
Download: Yes.
Host: Yes. Maybe I will host it sometimes for Satan cause he can’t host.
Overall: Good/Very Good level. I give it also a 8. Nice work.

Ok ,here is my review
Gameplay: Good. It is good but it is a quite hard level and there were some places where it was annoying such as that place with that trigger crate where you need to stomp and where a sucker tube is that brings you back right. The rest was good.
Eye candy: Good/Very Good. It was very good, but there were some places with overused eye candy.
Pickup placement: Good/Very Good.
There was good ammo placement, there could be more carrots in it but that’s ok. The food placement was very good, I think.

6.5

Ok, I am not going to give a rating at each subject from now on.
Jungle Battle
Gameplay: Bad/Okay. It was quite good, but the spring placement was bad and there were dead ends.
Eyecandy: Good. It was good for a small level, not more then that
Pickup placement: Good. It was also good, but you could select other types of ammo. There was a Full Energy so it can also be a CTF level. I saw two powerups, Seeker and Blaster. Well, I already said, I think one powerup is enough.
Rating for this level a 6.2
Labrat Battle
Gameplay: good. It was good this time. Good spring placement and no dead ends.
Eyecandy: good. It was also good for a small level.
Pickup placement: Good. There were 4 types of ammo used in 5 groups of 9. There were also some fast fires. Also, there were chests of ammo. The level also has a full energy, so it also can be a small CTF level. There were two powerups, Blaster and Toaster this time.
Rating for this level a 6.7
Diamondus Battle
Gameplay: Good. It was good, but this time I liked some other colors of the springs. Example: There was a red spring which could be a blue spring.
Eyecandy: Good. It’s still good, and the eyecandy in this one was the best of the 3 levels.
Pickup placement: Good. There were 4 weapons used, and 1 in two crates. 4 of the weapons you used are the ones I also do in my levels. There were also some fast fires here. And a full energy, so I can say this pack can also be a CTF pack. There were also 2 powerups ( this time Seeker and Blaster ).
Rating for this level a 6.7

Ok, this will be a fun review.
Gameplay: Okay. There were dead ends and there was a flag bug. Also, I would like to put one blue spring in the place of the full energy instead of that platforms without one. the spring placement was good, so that makes it okay.
Rating:5.7
Eyecandy: Okay. It was ok, but I would like more caves that would be good. The other things were okay too.
Rating:6
Pickup placement: Good. It was quite good, but there were too many crates of ammo and there wasn’t many ammo in the other places. There was one powerup, the blaster powerup. I think that a small level like this doesn’t need more than one powerup, so that’s good. The Full energy was good placed.
Rating:6.5
Others: It’s an okay, but small level.

Ok, here is my review.
Gameplay: Good/Very Good. It was very good. There was good spring placement but that horizontal springs were annoying. You don’t have to jump alot that’s very good. There are dead ends, that’s the only bad.
Rating: 7.8.
Eyecandy: Very good. The eyecandy was also very good. There were lots of things in layer 3 and 5, and the other layers were used good too.
Rating:8.6
Pickup placement: Good/Very good. It was almost very good, but I liked to use one type of ammo less, that would be good. The other ammo was good, because it was on the platform and not above. The full NRG was in the middle, thats good.
Rating: 8.2
The final rating: 8.2+9+8.7=8.633333=8.2. Edit: 8.7 seems too high, but this is an 8.2.

Ok, I saw that someone gave the first review with a 6, well, I’m going to find out if this is really a 6.
Gameplay: Bad. The gameplay is really bad. I saw only a few springs and some unnecessary events.
Rating: 1.5
Eyecandy: Very bad. I saw almost nothing, there was a background but it was not complete. That makes it very bad and there were no other things here.Rating: 1.
Pickup placement: Bad. The ammo was way too many and the powerups were ok placed but there were 2 RF power-ups I dont understand that. There were some carrots and full NRG, but it was too many.
Rating:2
I’m sorry but this level is way too bad for a 6. There were many bugs but for its size it gets a 2 instead of a 1.5

Gameplay:Good. I saw the gameplay was good. But there were some places where I liked to have springs.
rating:7
Eye Candy: Good/Very good. The eyecandy I saw was good/very good because there was lots of stuff in the layers but its a small level, so that makes it not very good.
Rating:8
Pickup placement:Good With one carrot energy+1 and not many ammo, it could have been much better. There were no power-ups, but a small level doesn’t need one powerup I think.
Rating:6.5

Gemneric CTF:
Gameplay: Good. It was good, because again, there were some places where could be springs. rating:6.7

Rating:9.
Pickup placement: Good/Very good. Ammo placement was better, I saw 2 full nrg, and they were good placed. I saw two power-ups, and they were also good placed

Ok, time to review this level.
Gameplay: Very bad. The gameplay is too bad. I think that you already know how to make something better, because this is one of the worst CTF levels. And the springs are bad placed and hurt?! What is that doing in a CTF level?
Eyecandy: Very bad. Too bad because there’s almost nothing, only a background. There were also some animations, but they were ugly too
Pickup placement: It was bad. There were shields and that’s not good. There was almost no ammo, and some full energy carrots randomly placed. This is not a good example of a CTF level.
Others: There were lots of tile bugs
Host this: NO!!
Download: no
I give this a 1.2 because there was a background and some animations, but the rest is bad. Edit: A 1.2 seems to harsh, so I will raise the rating to a 2.[This review has been edited by da man]

Ok, I already reviewed volume 1, but that had only 10 levels, so that was a small review.
Wasteland battles: They were so good with lots of eyecandy in layer 4 and good ammo placement, everything good.
Glacier battles: Also awesome and big. Eyecandy in this levels were awesome too. This is a good example how you can make awesome eyecandy without using many layers.
Rocks battles: Also awesome. All levels were that so I can’t say more about it.
Well you know that all levels were awesome and it’s a big pack, but not enough to get a 10 from me. But still, it’s the best battle pack.
I give it a 9.7

Ok, Dx asked to review this, well here it comes.
Gameplay: Good. The gameplay was good, because there were original things. Coins, triggers and the background was original too. That isn’t used before I think.
Rating:7.5
Eyecandy: Good/Very good. The eyecandy was good/very good. There were lots of things to see here but I have seen more
Rating:8
Pickup placement: Good/Very Good. I saw that it was good but almost no ammo. Food placement was very good and carrot placement could be more.
Rating:7.6
P.S. my reviewing system is not as that of yours.
Very bad is exactly 1.
bad is 1.1-3.
bad/okay is 3.1-5.
okay is 5.1-6.
Good is 6.1-7.
Good/very good is 7.1-8.5.
Very good is 8.6-10.
It’s a strange system, but it’s also a experiment.
7.5+8+7.6:3= exactly 7.7[This review has been edited by da man]

Finally, I found a level to rate.
Gameplay: The gameplay is okay, but there are some ends where you need to go back and not with one way.
Eyecandy: Very good eyecandy here. Like another level, Carrottus to the max, the eyecandy is overused and it was the same but that level has more and is bigger.
Pickup placement: Like the name says, only blasters here, and lots of fast fires. But ok, for an only blaster level its okay.
Others: I dont know if I may rate, because this level looks like another level. If its not allowed, this rating will be removed. For now, I give a 7

Ok, this was soo strange. I’m glad that no one has to rate this, because it will be a low rating. Actually, this is something new. But the bosses? I saw them not on my screen when I played them because I didn’t play them, but I looked at Dx his site and saw the two pics of them. These were very strange like he said. Well, my review ends.

I hope this is going to be a fun review. Lol.
race to evil
Gameplay: The gameplay is very bad. The level is not a real race because with that traps it can take a long time.
Eyecandy: There was something, but it was very strange and the tiles were randomly placed
Pickup placement: there was none here. Only a gold coin. So I can’t say much about it only that it sux.
the money room is waiting
Gameplay: Still very bad. No good thing about it so nothing else to say.
Eyecandy: I liked it (not). That very strange tiles on the backgrounds. At least there was a background here so that means this is better.
Pickup placement: Still no pickups only some gold coins.
Host one of this levels: No.
Download: no.
I think that you all know what the rating is that I am going to give: 1.

Ok, Time for a review!
Gameplay: The gameplay was good in this level. I found some places where could be springs but ok.
Eyecandy: eyecandy was also good. Lots of objects in layer 4 and in 3 and 5 were some objects too.
Pickup placement: There was good ammo placement here. But there was TNT that’s not needed in a battle you could replace it for another weapon. There were maybe too many carrots. A Full NRG and a +1. 2 +1 carrots or 1 should be good.
Others:
Host this: maybe
download: I think so
It’s a good battle level.

Ok, the first one who rates this: let’s start a long review.
*censored*Thunt:
Gameplay: The gameplay was not very good here. There were a few springs but i liked some more, though
Eyecandy: The eyecandy was not very good, there were good secrets but eyecandy could be much better
Pickup placement: The ammo in this level was not that good, really. There were more events that doesn’t need to be in a treasure hunt. There were food events and some strange figures of events. The gems were good placed, actually
Others: lots of tile bugs
With the good secrets this level gets a 4.5.
censored*Race: I don’t know what this is, but it seems to be the same as the *censored treasure hunt.
gauntlet run: I don’t want to say much about this, but this had way too many tile bugs and it sucked because there were also way too many enemies.
Rating:1.5
vine battle: I don’t want a long comment about this, because it was way too small and it’s one of the worst levels I ever seen.
Rating:1
Ripping Tracks: Another bad one. I can’t say much about it, but it’s just like the 2 levels i gave a rating on. And I give this one a 2
Hub Central: the last one, and also bad. Sorry, but all of this levels have tile bugs and no good event placement.
Rating for this level: 4.
4.5+4.5+1.5+1+2+4:6=2.9.
