5.7

Space base 17-D:
First thing I noticed was the freezer powerup. Nice. Except its nearly completely useless in CTF. Another thing about ammo, pos 53,66. Regen speed too fast and all the crates cause lag. I dont like the eyecandy, but its not that bad. And…poles? Layout could’ve been a bit better, Im not too fond of the platforms floating in midair. 40,28, why did you put hurt events in battle? They are completely useless and only actually hurt the host of the server. One final thing, are there carrots in this? =\. …oh wait, on contrary to the description, this level does NOT cycle to the rest, it cycles to itself. nice.
Rating: 5.2

Neo2: Wow. I got stuck within 10 seconds of playing this level. Anyways, the eyecandy is alright. The left side of the level is unmasked, meaning players could hide there, but oh well. The top of the level is alright, and playable, but the bottom, especially the place under 48,36, ugh. You can get stuck there so easily. 52,41, eyecandy bug. Coin warp could also have been more pointed out.
Rating: 5.7

Neon Nightmare: More Freezer ammo, left side still wide open, same music (could’ve chosen a diff. one for more of a variety), very platformish level. Imo, too much bouncer ammo, you could’ve had another type of ammo in this. Also, there are no springs in this, and the level really needs them. Eyecandy is buggy and there is too little of it, but at least its open and there is nowhere you can get stuck! =D
Edit: I played with someone here on a server, and actually found it fun. Boosting the rating from 5.5 to a 6.
Rating: 6

Final rating: 5.633333, boosted up to a 5.7. If you’re bored or have nothing to do, then download this. Otherwise, keep trying, with a bit more practise, you might be able to make 8 worth levels ;D.

Can’t rate Neon Nightmare thats mine.

Neon2:
Eyecandy:Not just a bit.
Flow:Not much at all.
Ammo: Very good arrangement.
Other bits:please don’t make a remix of my levels

17-D:
Eyecandy: Very good! I loved the astriods and the underground stuff.
Flow:Pretty good
Ammo:Pretty well placed, it just needs to be a bit more.
Other bits:A rather large level, might not be too good for hosting, unless in a ceremony or something.

Ok, I feel special, cuz I am the first one to comment this :)

Lets see…
Level 1 (Neon nightmare). Too many platforms, nice eyecandy. Rating: 8
Level 2 (neon2). This one is certainly better! There is no platforms and there is a good flow. BUT! I did get stuck twice in two different walls. Rating: 8.2
Level 3 (Space Base 17-D). Nice amount of ammo (flamepower), nice map, and cool eyecandy. And, for sure, excellent gameplay. But, you shouldn’t have put an infinite amount of that ammo in the center. I give u 9.5 for this one.

Overall – 8.7
Recommendation: yep.
Play again: Yep. Levels 1 and 3 but not 2.
Every next level of yours is better than prev. one.
Good Job![This review has been edited by NeoBlaze24]

This is great Acid Psy. It has really good eyecandy. The weapons placement is good. There is lots of room to move in.
This is execellent. I give this an 8.
(Unsupported rating removal. If it’s so good, why not give it a 10? There are obviously some flaws, but you don’t tell us at all what they are. Your description of things is sub-par at best – “good” doesn’t tell us anything. What about the actual gameplay? Is the level original at all? Just a few things to consider. ~Violet)[This review has been edited by Violet CLM]

Whatever was broken with this previously was fixed by Bob. The rating should work fine now. Be sure to thank him every moment for the rest of your lives.

Really. I’ll be watching.

First thing I noticed…
that darn cool ground that I can’t quite
fall under ;P.
Anywho, the level is very nice and visually appealing.
The background is very good, with an original use of .. .“spaceships” and “spacejunk”. There is a good amount of eyecandy.

The level is a little hard to navigate.
At some points I see where I want to go but have no idea
how to get there.
There are excessive amounts of text strings..
one of these text strings are to long
so you can’t view all of it.

There is ammo yay..

Overall this is a good level , but a little hard to get around in.
A very good effort, and I would recommend a download ;).

NEXT TIME PLEASE INCLUDE THE TILESET BEFORE YOU PUT A LEVEL UP!!!

Ah, well, I had the tileset already, so I can review this…

EYECANDY:
Really good! This level contains good layers, good backgrounds and good sprite layers. You really don’t have to improve you eyecandy anymore in your later levels. Maybe some other points, though. The moving background can sometimes be annoying when you run around.

AMMO:
No powerups! I don’t want to say anything, but in my opinion you can’t make a decent battle level without placing any powerups. The ammo is hard to find; it’s located at not so many places in the level. And there is just 1 carrot which gives you +1, something that fits with this level. If you want to kill someone here you have to play long games.

LEVEL STRUCTURE:
The structure of the level is a little weird, and thanks to the good eyecandy you can’t move around that good. Soem corridors are too narrow to move through, and the blue floors which close when you run at them are strange…

GAMEPLAY:
Could have been a lot smoother. You can’t reall ymove around that good, because of the narrow corridors and weird floors and jumps, and there is actually no flow. Improve that in your next levels, please.

RATINGS
————
When I first opened the level I thougth: Wow! What a great eyecandy, this must be a fantastic level! But when I played the level, I saw that there are many things missing in the gameplay… I can say this is a level with really good eyecandy, but with a mediocre gameplay. And after all, the gameplay is more important than the eyecandy.

Score: a 6.7 from me.
Download this: Maybe, as an example of eyecandy.
Host: No.

I am posting this review out of disgust for the overratedness of this level pack.

All three of these levels are the same thing with the tileset switched. Essencially, this is just one level. I do not appreciate redundancy in level packs. Pick one tileset and stick with it. No one wants 3 of the same level.

These levels do not live up to their collective name. They may have eye-candy, but it is nothing remarkable. The eye candy is merely average, and in some places it is actually quite lacking and flawed. I found many tiling errors, and the background and foreground are virturally nonexistant. I have seen outstanding work done with this tileset in terms of visual appeal. This level does not use the capabilities of this tileset to full potential at all, nor does it look like the authour even tried that hard. There is no creative tile use at all, since the whole level has a generic look to it.

Despite the lack of the advertised eye-candy, things only get worse from there. The level is poorly designed, with a multitude of dead ends and an overall lack of strategic focus. The ammo placement is reasonably well done, but the selection of ammo is not. This level has ice and TNT, with no real use for them in the level. If there were a few springs to freeze or powerups to get through walls, I wouldn’t mind this. Unfortunately, there aren’t any powerups at all. I get the feeling that not much thought was put into the design of this level.

Bugs are numerous in this level. The choice of tiles is poor in some areas due to them being ugly, but it is also poor becuase of the masking in them. It is extremely easy to get stuck in the walls. Also, the left edge of the level has been left uncovered by tiles, meaning that anyone can hide there and be immune to the effects of people shooting. There is an abundance of ricochet events, things which are known to cause 3+ heart kills due to their erratic behaviour and bad coding. The worst problem is the getting stuck, which I explained above. It is so bad that there is one area of the level where pretty much all of the walls like to eat players.

Overall I get the feeling that this level was rushed. Areas of the level seem incomplete. This level also has not been tested well enough, or perhaps it wasn’t tested at all. The layout is quite “mindless” meaning that there is really no apparent strategy here (nothing unique at least).

Please, test your levels with other people and get their opinions before you ask for ours on J2O. While they will offer good advice on how to improve your level, we will just give criticism, possibly negative. If you neglect the advice of testers or do not select ones which know what they are doing, you might get some jerk like me spoiling your nice 7 average by exposing the level as it really is.

Overall Rating: 3.7

Unimpressive.

Overall: Fun and I like the music :P

I don’t like this level at all. It has bad flow, and the eyecandy is bad. The gameplay is boring, and slow. Everybody overrates Acid’s levels, big time. I don’t understand why. Sorry, but this is definetely not 7.7 quality. The way actually hosted before to get reviewers to review it fairly, because of this… expect some fair reviews like this one.

Nice levels, but not so much eyecandy as you would expect.
All of the levels are the same, only another tileset (Sirius 1, 2 and 3) anf I thought it was another bad conversion with another tileset of the Battle Games. I was wrong.
The levels are ok in gameplay, there are many Sirius Tubes and waterfalls and the placement of all things is great. Sadly, the eyecandy is not really many, only on layer 3 and 4. On L 3 and L4 It’s nice. But the other layers are not used, except for layer 8.
You’ll surely host this sometimes. Download it.
