Well, it’s an nice lvl!
So I come to review!!

-Gameplay
Good, many good things(triggers,coins,background)the background was really original, and that from“give me a pumpkin so I can let you trough the blocks” was also original
-7.0
-Eyecandy
Great!, if you ask it on me! Also if you get the tail from a cat, that you warped trough the time!That’s very interesting!(Can you tell me how to do that?)
-7.3
-ammo,food and carrot placement
Good, food will you see ev’rywhere in the lvl on the right places! Carrots are placed also good. But ammo…OMG! Was it really one crate with ammo in the lvl or was there more? I haven’t see more! Very bad!
-6.7
-Enemy placement
Good, enemy’s are placed well, on the good places.And it’s not that there where 1 or 2 kinds of enemy’s, no more!
-7.3

-Bugs
Well, I haven’t see much bugs!
Or there where few bugs, or no! The only one I have seen, was on the begin of the lvl, you walking over bridges when stones falling down. If you wan’t to get that pumpkin(to go trough the wall)you must buttstomp on the bridge. If you’re not jumping in the hole in 5sec., an stone will fall in the hole and will be stuck! First you must shoot 10minutes against that stone, so it go’s out the hole.That’s bad!
-7.0

-Overall
A nice lvl with great music, background, triggers and more!
It’s a GREAT lvl with the Carrotus tileset! So download it!!

Lets see… 7+7.3+6.7+7.3+7= 34.3:5=…
………that will be +- a 6.7!Good man!
Download: YES!!!!
Host This:Yes!
Review This: Yes!(Haha)

Hmm, congrats, Dx. Good level from you. Keep this work up, and here is my review:

EYECANDY / TILESET USE
Hmm.. good. tiles were rightly used, and Dx used almost every tile of the carrotus set,( wich is one of my favorite sets, by the way ) i have some complaiments though, i think you didn’t use enough eeyecandy tiles, like those leave tiles in cave, etc. And that background is bit buggy, but it’s ok mostly.
Pros:Good tileset use.
Cons:Some bugs in that background..
Rating: 7.2

GAMEPLAY / FLOW
Its good, and nice.
No complaiments, except that its little bit too easy.And you should use more foods, so player could get a sugar rush. Don’t overruse foods though..
So, average gameplay.
Pros:Nice flow, easy to play..
Cons:Hmm.. too easy.
Rating: 7.0

PLACEMENT
Okay, i think that placement is quite good, but there are bit too many gems.
Ammo and foods are goodly placed. No complaiments.
Pros:Good placement..
Cons:Bit too many gems..
Rating:7.0

FUN FACTOR / ORIGINALITY
It is original, but it is bit boring… ofterwise its nice..
Pros:Nice, and bit funny.
Cons:Bit boring…
Rating:7.5

CONCLUSION
Well, i think that level is ok, and like i said before, keep this work up, Dx. :)
DOWNLOAD RECOMMEDATION: Of course.
FINAL RATING: 7.2 ( 7.2 + 7.0 = 7.1 + 7.0 = 7.0 + 7.5 = 7.2 )

Well here is my review!!!!

Eyecandy:
Okay!!! I did`t really say any Wow in it but still a okay eyecandy. There where some tilebugs.Background could still be better like clime plant`s.

Enemy placement:
Okay!!! They are good placed and there are Tuff turtles, norm turtles, lizards and float lizards. On one spot there are tuff turtles above each other it`s okay but you did to many above each other. The rest is fine.

Item placement:
Okay!!! There was enough ammo but still not really much could be more in it. There are also a couple of gems and food. Carrots are well placed.

Gameplay:
Good!!! It was fun to play and a lot to do but the coins could be better because you always need to fall if you want a coin and then you need to go in that suckertube again. 5 coins are to hiddin i needed to search for to long. The boss is not really good next time only do Devan.

Other:
Good!!! A style that you only find in this level and the background is cool to. Music also fits in the level and it`s fun to play. No easy normal and hard mode to bad. Level lenghte is okay.

A cool level here a €-€7.5€-€

First, I would like to speak a little bit more on my review system.
Very good – The 9-10 range for the category.
Good / very good – 8-9 range for the category.
Good – The 7-8 range for the category.
Okay / good – The 6-7 range for the category.
Okay – The 5-6 range for the category.
Bad/okay – The 4-5 range for the category.
Bad – The 3-4 range for the category.
Very bad / bad – The 2-3 range for the category.
Very bad – The 1-2 range for the category.
I also do NOT average the scores I give out together. I just prefer to go about reviewing in this way.

The review…
Quite impressive.
Eyecandy – Good
Well… I’ll have to admit, DX DC finally has an excuse not to have a classic layer six and seven background here, because you’re on a mountain, which is too high up to be able to see the things that go in layers six and seven. Instead of going at it that way, DX DC uses lightning in the background layers, and a dark background in layer 8. Since the lightning uses the water from the classic Carrotus background, it’s going to look a bit buggy no matter what, but the sight of it looks okay. The timing of the animations is a bit bad, though. It’s not random enough; in other words, you can eventually memorize the pattern of the flashes easilly, and it looks repetitive. Nature is random!! -Disguise. You should look at the lightning from the example levels in the Wartorn set for help on making it look better. It looks decent, though. The rain is pretty well done, although I think you should’ve had one background layer of rain as well as the one foreground layer of rain you already have. The rain is well done enough to not have the, “raining up,” effect that many levels have. This occurs when the Auto-Y and Y Speeds are not perfected. As always, DX DC included lots of eyecandy in layer 3 as well as layer 4, and maybe layer 5 (I’m not positive on layer 5). It looks overall good.
Gameplay – Good
Good gameplay overall. It’s a bit hard at parts, and the part where you have to jump from carrot to carrot annoys me. I also think that you shouldn’t make levels where you have to randomly guess where to buttstomp in order to find something. You should also try to master the art of level transitions, in other words, you shouldn’t make it so when you don’t have an idea on how to make you get from one part of the level to another part that you desperately want in there, you have to use a warp that is randomly placed. These are hard to do, but if you’re able to master how to make them, your levels will be a lot more interesting to play. I find it quite annoying to have to warp so much.
Ammo placement – Okay / good
Overall good ammo placement, although I think the carrots should’ve been spread out more. The part with the spinning maces (I forgot what the event was called as I don’t use these in my levels often) has way, way too many carrots. You should evenly distribute them throughout the level. The food placement isn’t the best, either. The food is randomly places in straight lines a couple tiles above the platform that you stand on, most of the time. The food seems random, too. You might have, for example, a line consisting of a pie, a pretzel, a banana, and a bad of peanuts. It’s good in the long run, though.
Enemy placement – Good
Well, the enemy placement is good, except for the enemies you chose. I don’t know about you, but I’ve never seen bees on a mountain, especially if it’s pouring rain and there’s lightning. I’m not good at reviewing this area of levels, so I’ll just leave it at that.

THE END BECAUSE I’M TOO LAZY TO WRITE MORE =D

Download reccomendation: Sure.[This review has been edited by labratkid]

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]

BLAH CARROTTUS

Level is alluring, these mysterious music and layout. About the BG, the idea with blinking black is innovation, but the light blue blocks (probably water)that appears sometimes, looks like CRAP. Also too less eyecandy tiles. So some points get removed.

Originality – sometimes yep. The moment with cats and and the Coin Bunny aka Bonus Bunny. Cats appears from nowhere, teleports you to other locations, hang you to the way up and open doors. BTW I wasn’t opened door at start due to I can’t get the pumpkin. Pity. Coin Bunny send you to cavern, which is actually filled with Tuffs (is it a cruelity of Bonus Bunny, or just he forgot?). What the Bonus Bunnies does. A strong point of this level.

Music – fits. No comments more.

Level is interesting but I am sad that level finishes too fast. Not that it’s too short. I’ve just a some fun hunger. Yep, that’s a stoopid name. Tisk tisk.

No death pits as in other levels. So I am happy. (But you did rip that strange sign that makes text a more narrow by the way :P) So happy that I give you extra point.

———————————-

Your levels become more cool, DX. If a Tempel Episode II (you’re always spelling Temple bad) is done with levels like this or better I’ll give it a 9. Or even 10. You didn’t never receive a deserved 10, huh? So prepare for bitnumber strike. Hahahahahahaha.

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.

Hum hum hum… Aiyaya! This is bad!
The only thing hold the rating from 5.2, is that’s this your first gem hunt
But what the others where saying, you can get 100 gems in 10 seconds! The only thing what let you play longer than that, is that the EXIT on a weird place is. In a better gem hunt, will be placed 2 EXIT’s. Your seeking a hour to the EXIT!
Gems are to much! If you make a gem hunt, be shure if you’re playing for 100 gems, place, well, somthing of 145 gems in the lvl, not 1450 gems!
Weapon placement was pretty good. Nothing to say about that.
background, music and graphics, are pretty good. Nice music chose. There are som bugs in the graphics, but not very very bad. The background, well, what to say about that?
Decent gameplay. The flow and the layout needs work, but nothing to say about it.
Eyecandy bad. What the others where saying, I want to say to.

OVERALL:An nice lvl for your first that’s need work, and the rest was good. Only an little buggy.

DownloadRecommeded:Yes! Download this.
Host this:Yes!

an 6.5 from me.

Well… this could be decent, but there’s one huge bug. There’s no exit. Once you get your 100 gems, or whatever the limit is, there’s no where to go! Bad, bad!

Eyecandy – Bad
There’s not much here. Just basic building blocks, a few cave-style areas, and a background consisting of a translucent waterfall in layer 7 and a normal background in layer 8. Very dull… needs a lot of work.
Pros: I’ve seen worse.
Cons: Very dull and boring to look at.
Gameplay – Okay / Good
The gameplay is surprisingly fun. The flow needs work, and the layout is confusing, but the gameplay is actually not bad at all.
Pros: Decent gameplay.
Cons: Bad flow and layout, and some places need work.
Bugs: Very bad
BUGS, BUGS, BUGS! First of all, never put ice and gem rings in the same level. If someone shoots a gem ring with ice, the game crashes for everybody (I’m not sure if the clients crash, but they time out, whatever it is). Second of all, you should avoid putting a wall right next to a ground tile, because people can ‘hide’ in it. Third of all, there’s no exit! What do you do with your gems when you collect them all if there’s no exit? This area really needs work.
Pros: None.
Cons: Too many to mention. See above.
Ammo placement – Okay / Good
Well, I all ready mentioned that you shouldn’t put ice, and the rest of the ammo placement is basically okay.
Pros: Pretty good ammo placement.
Cons: Pretty good ammo placement.
Gem placement – Very bad / Bad
I can collect my 100 gems in a matter of 10 seconds. There are way too many gems. An area that I’d like to bring up is one where there are about 80 points worth of blue gems (eight blue gems) in a rectangle. It’s right near one of the start positions, and to the right. Way, way too many, and there are gem rings. Either take out the ice or take out the gem rings.
Pros: If you could set a gem limit to 500 or so gems, it’d be good.
Cons: Gem rings + Ice = No. Too many gems.
Overall, this is a buggy, but fun level to play. Jazzyman is overrating big time.
Download reccomendation: No. Especially not if you’re not a well liked player, because when someone joins your server, they’ll go straight to a gem ring and casually crash you.
Host this often: Not unless you want to be crashed.

Another race of DX. After Unamed Race I think that any race can’t beat it. And here’s better one than Unamed Race, the Win or Lose!

Level itself is original with these moving platforms. And, 007 posted that some things are for test, and I agree absolutely. Type for pit. But no pity (?), only one mistake.

MEZ01. Just MEZ01 from probably 1999 or even earlier. But here’s a good example of good-looking MEZ01 level. QoB sucks!

Music is choosen very well. No more writing about this because it is excellent.

One thing before end : races are cool, but 5 laps in the same scenery are boring. Try to solve it. If you can’t, send me a message.

Overall : this level is just necessary for people that are :

– searching good level; – searching MEZ01 level with good eyecandy; – searching something that never would be boring; – just likeing races.

So – nice level.

A 8 for you :P

Because it’s just a race with the same blocks I didn’t rate it for a 8.5 :p[This review has been edited by Cooba]

I just had to open my allready too big mouth… O well, makes for more diversity in remakes, right? :p

Ok, we have here yet another Battle remake, this time of battle 2. I won’t complain this time tho, since Dx is obviously trying to make himself loved, and I grant that to anyone. Since this is a remake, I will only focus on the changes made to this level.

Layout:
Roughly prefectly intact. I did notice an area that seemed more open than in Battle 2, that’s probably just me. However: you all may remember that smal drop with red springs on walls. Well, the top left one is missing: there are two springs on the left, and three on the right wall. Smal flaw, it still costs points.

Tileset use and eye candy:

If you’re playing on low detail, you’re missing out. Pretty much everything is focussed on layer 5 to 7. It mainly exists out of leaves, the area with the many springs however has a rather big tree with the springs on the branches. Pretty interesting idea. I just wish there were more things to see eye candy-wise, like a real background (at least layer 7), but just a little bit, otherwise the level would be “clogged”.

Ammo, Food, stuff that’s good.

Everything has been carried over from battle 2, nothing to add here.

Miscellaneous:

With a Jungle tileset like Swamps by Agama, it’s pretty obvious Tubelectric Remix doesn’t fit. Instead Dx used “Water Level” (music of the second beach level), which fits quite nicely, it’s a jungle swamp afterall. The next level is a little badly chosen imo: to battle 3. It would have been more fitting if it was set to itself. Yet again, no big deal, it’s serves its purpose.

Verdict:

Another brave attempt by Dx. It’s not perfect, but it’s no disaster either. As with all remakes of this kind, only recommended for those who love the official battles, but hate the tilesets used and want to see something different. If I have to rate it: a 6 for the effort.
