Saphir’s First Racepack:

Rating:
This good racepack is good. And not a little bit, but very!
Each round can take a very long time, because the levels are all very big.

Peter and myself played a tournament and the one that has average the shortest time wins.
The loser are doing the dishes. Peter was the loser, with an average time of 16:27:83. I won with 13:52:11.

It has lots of differents circuits: in space, in a lab, in a pinball-machine, in caves… Saphir: how much time did you spend on this great episode?

With other words: your first levelpack is a great pack for a whole tournament. Well done!

The eyecandy and gameplay are super!

Conclusion:
Saphir’s First Racepack doesn’t earn a 7,6, but a fat 10. If you want to do a race-tournament with your friends, this pack is THE racepack that you need. For everyone is at least one good level and this is absolute a download recommendation.

Rating Tilesets: It are good tilesets. I have nothing more to say (aan Frank Quist: kan ik wél een tilesetfactor aan mijn review toevoegen als de makers van de tilesets staan vermeld in de credits ofzo? Mail het me en verander het cijfer niet in een N/A)

Rating Obstacles: Some levels are very hard, but you can easilly get stuck in the small ‘Bolly-chamber-level’.

Rating Fun: The episode is pretty great. Nothing more to say.

Punishment of 3 points, because the password of the extra levels is INCORRECT!

Final Rating: 4
No download recommendation.

[Subtracting 3 points for such a reason is inappropriate, and the rating has been removed because of that. -Mike]

The password is NOT incorrect. It only fits for the first extra level, and it is case sensitive.

Starting Comments:

This pack was uploaded a while ago, but the author is back on J2O now and so I decided to make him happy via writing a review for this pack. :)

Played with: Spaz
On difficulty: Medium
Playing time: 1 hour 30 minutes

Playability:

The pack started fairly easy, with not too long sewer level. Nothing special about that one. In the second level it gets a lot harder. You travel through a city, where it seems all the rabbits have been killed by evil lizards and rats. There are also lots of passages with spike balls and similiar stuff. The third level was not as hard as the second one, but still it wasn’t easy. The fourth level forced me to finally give up, as it was very hard again.
The item placement was fine in all the levels, but I feel some more carrots would’ve been useful because some places are really too hard.

Score: 7.5

Balance:

The pack started with an easy sewer level, but got very hard then. Too hard for me. Strategically used enemies everywhere, and lots of evil spikeball traps. After a long time I managed to get through the second level, just to die soon after in the fourth one. I like difficult levels, bit some parts of the pack were just unfair, like the part in the second level were you had to fly through dozens of spikeballs with an airboard. In the fourth level there was a place with lots of platforms with keys on them. I often had no clue where I’d land on, as it was often not visible where to jump. The difficulty should be toned down a bit, I think, because I really got frustrated with it.

Score: 6.0

Creativity:

Some parts of the pack were pretty creative, like the end of the second level where you have to defeat a lot of Robots. Doesn’t sound very original, but somehow the author managed to do that the player needs to defeat all of them, instead of just one which I’ve never seen before. I liked the story too, which was pretty cool.

Score: 7.5

Eyecandy:

The eyecandy was decent, but nothing more. The third and the fourth level had way too less sprite eyecandy, while I liked the background layers of level 4. There were no tilebugs, but a little more work could’ve made the pack more enjoyable to look at.

Score: 6.5

Story:

The pack had an intricated story, which I found very good. It’s not the most exciting story line ever, but it added a nice touch to the levels.

Score: 8.0

Overall:

I liked some aspects of this pack, while I hated others. The first thing is that it really was too hard some times. I often I couldn’t help getting hurt, which was not fun at all. The second dissapointment was the eyecandy, which was decent, but nothing more. Other than that the pack was nice, it had a cool storyline and the levels were fun (apart from those unfair parts). It’s worth a download reccommendation I think.

Overall Score: 7.5

GRRRRR….F…internet. Now I have to type the whole review again .
Sorry, the server crashed. I will do it short this time.

The last two levels aren’t playable for me, because in the one with those clouds I jumped from the edge and found myself trapped. And in the fourth level theres a part with lots of TNT, bombs and moving blocks. Everytime I get in I get pushed out. Pack isn’t playable for me, so please tell me how to do, or reupload. I think they are way to hard for race levels.

Sorry, because the review is short now, but my server deleted the old (long) one without a reason :-(

PS: because I couldn’t finish it, no rating. Sorry[This review has been edited by PHT]

Hey not bad!!!!!!!!!!

Eyecandy!

Baddies

Here a 8.0

Download reccomed: yes
Host this in coop: YEAH!

Ðx

A very strange level ^_

Eyecandy: 8
I didn’t find bad tiles, they all fitted, and a ok background.

Originalty: 7,5
Good! I dont remember seeing hidden spikes in Tubelectric… But for the rest its all basic.

Placement thing: 7
in the beginning there were always 2 Sparks? Why not 1, or 3?
Later there were more, thats good. Item placement is good!

Gameeplay: 7
It was long, and funny ^_ only a bit easy, it was quite long. Too bad the Spikes were actually “easy” too dogde (Spelling?)

Download recommendaton: yes!

i have no idea how the real rating works… sorry

A spiky tubelectric. After started playing, I noticed why the level had this level name.

DESIGN
No story? eh? Only spikes everywhere and shooting some sparks.
2/10

EYECANDY
Well, there is much eyecandy, but it’s some weird in some places.
8/10

ORIGINALITY
Nothing new, basic tileset, music. The level was anyways made by your own.
8/10

GAMEPLAY
Poor, Only one level and it isn’t also very long, but just as a little snack. It was some hard at first and I died 2 times. But then I began to watch out for the spikes more so it was actually very easy, because there were only sparks as your enemies.
3/10

PICKUP AND ENEMY PLACEMENT
Sparks in everywhere. It’s rather odd placement, but I think that ammo’s were placed better.
7/10

+ OR – EXTRA POINTS

-1 No readme-file
-1 No difficulty-settings

OVERALL: 26:5=5.2
LEVEL RANK: Average level
DOWNLOAD RECOMMENDATION: Yes, anyways

ENDING COMMENTS: Ummm, I think this was also a bit overrated. I gave it 5.2 specially about the reason that it’s short and there is no other levels or any design. Next time make your level(s) more longer and spend some time to them. If you make a for fun level, don’t make it like “spikes everywhere” which actually are in rather strange places. Remember to put a readme and also difficulty-settings into your levels, so the player may choose a difficult. :>

-Superjazz was here

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR
This lvl is a bit hard and confusing.I didn’t know where are the spikes and sometimes I didn’t know why my heart is gone ,then I looked and I saw this nasty spikes again!-grrrrr
Well the lvl is for sure unusual and interesting.
But this is BORING, BORING and BORING that you used tubelectric. Guys don’t use this overused tilesets any more!!!
On this site U can find interesting tilesets from Agama (that is a pitty that only 4 sets),Disguise (I’m mean this good tilesets-Disguise made a lot of great sets), Violet’s conversions – I wish to see areally good level made with Violet’s Scraparap and Orbitus! WOW that would be cool.

OK back to review, Gameplay is good, this lvl is hard and you have to be careful for hidden spikes.
Eyecandy is not so good but it’s OK.
Events – not too big not too small amount of food, too many sparks no more enemies-that isn’t so good.

total: 7.2

hmmm this is nice.

Bugs.

Nope not found
at all.

food placed ammo etc.

for god players,like you.

Possible with Spaz? Yes, albeit some parts are a lot tougher (Disappearing Floors). .4/.5

Possible with Spaz? Very hard, but possible with persistence. .2/.5
Total for level = 3.3/5 C

Level 4: Primitive Speed Laboratory
Eyecandy: The tubes on layers 2 and 1 can get annoying. But that’s it. 1.8/2
Flow: A tad more annoying then Storm Tests. Mostly because of all those darn springs and the pinball part at the end. .9/2
Possible with Jazz? Yes, but a bit tough. .3/.5
Possible with Spaz? Again, Pretty hard. Mainly the Pinball kept messing me up. .3/.5
Total for level = 3.3/5 C

Level 5: Tube Facility
Eyecandy: All is fine here. 2/2

Possible with Jazz? EXTREMELY tough. I almost wanted to give up before i even got halfway through. .1/.5
Possible with Spaz? See above. .1/.5
Total for level = 2.4/5 D

Level 6: Asteroid Planets
Eyecandy: “Look mommy! I’m flying through space!” Very cool. 2/2

Level 7: Running Through The Rain
Eyecandy: Rain is falling. Not much else. 1.1/2
Flow: Jumping across clouds, Jumping fro beacon to beacon (i don’t know what else to call them, okay?) in the darkness, and hopping from platform to platform. Oh, and an airboard part. Feels partially like a race. 1.2/2

Total for level = 3.3/5 C

Level 8: Springy Pink
Eyecandy: Pink Pink. Could be better. 1.6/2

Possible with Jazz? Yes. .5/.5
Possible with Spaz? Yes. .5/.5
Total for level = 4.5/5 A

Level 9: Spacy Raceway
Eyecandy: So-So. All the tiles on one of the front layers do is annoy me. 1/2
Flow: What? A maze in a race? An invisible spring maze too? It makes the race almost impossible if you don’t know what to do or which way to go. 0/2
Possible with Jazz? Yup. .5/.5
Possible with Spaz? Uh-Huh. .5/.5
Total for level = 2/5 D

Level 10: Head for the Crater
Eyecandy: Kinda missing here. Albeit the mountains and fade-to-black parts are cool. 1.4/2

Eyecandy: It’s snowing! Of course, almost all the bricks are bluish colored. Nice. Sorta. 1.7/2
Flow: Springs. Blue springs, of course. And freeze traps. And ice. Only one thing not so obvious. And that’s the belts on some of the bricks. But it still doesn’t mean the level is ruined because of them. It actually makes it a tad better. 1.7/2
Possible with Jazz? Yes. .5/.5
Possible with Spaz? The only part that kinda is hard is trying to jump over the water. .3/.5
Total for level = 4.2/5 B

Level 12: Flying Through The Milky Way
Eyecandy: Nice. Just tell me how you got those borders to work almost flawlessly. ;p 2/2
Flow: Airboard flight. One great race. The only thing i don’t get is the bombs and TNT part at the end. 1.9/2
Possible with Jazz? Of course! .5/.5
Possible with Spaz? Yes! .5/.5
Total for level = 4.9 A+ = Arguably the best level in the pack.

Level 13: Deep Under The Ground
Eyecandy: Short. Very short. .5/2

Possible with Jazz? Yes. .5/.5
Possible with Spaz? Yep. .5/.5
Total for level = 2.3/5 D

Level 14: Epileptic Pinball
Eyecandy: Just cool. VERY cool. The BG just makes it look as the name implies, Epileptic. Except if you play in low detail. It makes the level almost impossible. 1.9/2

Possible with Jazz? Yes. .5/.5
Possible with Spaz? With a little trouble, yes. .4/.5

Pipe Mosaics-

A rather mediocre race. Dull in eyecandy, it only has 3 colors of pipes, a weird yin-yang thing, and a blue background. The race is littered with springs and pipes that you can go through, but give no indication that you can do so whatsoever.

Toxic Raceway-

This is much better than Pipe Mosaics. It has some interesting lighting tricks, and I especially like the sucker under the toxic goo. The tileset is cool, and while it doesn’t have much eyecandy, it has background mountains, and a 3D background.

Storm Tests-

An interesting race. It’s basically the warp tests in a race. Not much eyecandy in this one, and the clouds are hard to tell between foreground and background. The haze in front of the screen is a cool idea in my opinion.

Primitive Speed Laboratory-

This race apparently uses the same tileset as Storm Tests. You have to be careful on this one, as there are springs everywhere that will send you a long way back. There is an off-color pinball set at the end.

Tube Facility-

This race is mostly annoying. An annoying tube puzzle that can be easily memorized, followed by several annoying spring puzzles. The tileset is pretty mediocre.

Asteroid planets-

In this race, you have to planet-hop around, looking for a warp that you are given no directions to find. The tileset is okay, however, and the star field is pretty cool.

Running through the rain-

Argh. Annoying springs and poles followed by warps, more springs and more warps. Not a very fun level, and the tileset isn’t too good.

Springy Pink-

A short race using a drab tileset. However, it is pretty fun. I think its cool in the part with the poles how Saphir lined them up so that they’d drop you off right at the start if you made a wrong move. There’s a way to cheat in this, but I’m not telling! >)

Spacey Raceway-

I’m pretty disappointed about this one. First, a maze I got completely and utterly lost in. Next, a ridiculously easy flying challenge. Third: AN INVISIBLE MAZE WITH SPRINGS?!? What’s up with that?!? And anyways, this is using a pretty boring tileset.

Head for the crater-

Another cool one. I like the tileset on this one; good eyecandy and a 3D background. Some interesting ideas are used in it, too.

Ice Cold Speedway-

I like this one. While the eyecandy is drab, it has some interesting parts, such as a slippery slope and a speed destroy maze. A very cool level.

Flying through the Milky Way-

Urgh. This one is buggy: I managed to get myself out of the bumper track and then it closed after me.

Deep under the ground-

This is an extremely short, easy and drab race. The bombs don’t do much, the springs and bumpers can be easily dodged, and you can easily jump over the rest.

Epileptic Pinball-

This level is cool. The background shifts to black often, rendering the terrain invisible. The race consists of several pinball puzzles.

And that’s all of them. Keep working at the levels and tilesets, Saphir!

I’m not going to review these because there are so many, but I just want to say that they are indeed fun, but fun isn’t everything… First of all, they are rather ugly eyecandy-wise. They have slow moving gameplay, and I just don’t seem to like them. Many of them are more like mazes and tests than races. Trafton, please don’t delete this, it’s not spam, BTW ;P I’m just saying that I agree with Becky that they are fun, but that’s about it. If I rated these, I’d give them around 6.

Yes!
9!!!
Thanks, Becky!

“Storm Tests”:
Like a test. You CAN play this on high detail, but it is hard. Tileset: Clouds4

Primitive speed laboratory:
A long race level with annoying foreground Tileset: Clouds3

Tube Facility:
Choose right tube.

That’s all, I think!
Rate them high!

P.S. Actually, all levels are easily playable with Spaz, I think… except for Ice Cold Speedway.

Yea, AcId, there is a way to “cheat” in springy pink, if you mean the drop thing..I maybe should’ve edited it, but it doesn’t help you go much faster.

EDIT: Omg, Ischa way overrated this.
