hmm……what could I say…..good idea but not so good done. My first comment: to easy, no obstacles

This is 1.24. Anyway, you can’t host this in race mode, because you can’t turn into a frog in race mode. You can only host it in COOP. That doesn’t work, either, because you didn’t make a coin based exit. You should get a coin every time you exit, and then when you have 3 coins, you are warped to the exit. Then, it would work.
Eyecandy is good… but overdone. It all revolves in layers 3 – 5. There is no background. How many times do I have to tell you to put backgrounds in your levels? ;p
Now, the gameplay isn’t too fun. The frogs aren’t fast enough… it’s not very fast paced, or anything, so it’s not fun.
The level’s too small, too.
Overall: Okay
Download: No
Host this often: Maybe once or twice just for fun… but not because it’s a very good level.
I know quotienta hise DUTCh, i will talk to him at school ar i will send an messege.
Lutijn an review is 3 lines!
Yor review will be deleted.
but oke wgat you whant :P
Bad bad bad, to smaal but the idea is great!
It has been a while since I downloaded and reviewed a test level. Or any kind of level. Still, let us see what I make of this.
Graphics: At first, the eyecandy looked good. But… the author tried too hard. The blue blocks in the foreground ruin what is otherwise a decent non-438 eyecandy system. In the background, there is solid black with stars, and some nice looking red and green pillars made out of flipped sucker tubes. The overall effect looks good, but has a few problems. First, of course, the foreground, which is just the blue mentioned earlier. Second, the pillars are too plain, and look like the background needs something special at the top or bottom. It doesn’t. On a final note, Layer 4’s graphics weren’t too good. You get either some tubes, or an endless repeat of the same 1×1 block, for the walls. Warps, which most tests have, use the teal-blue + tile. This doesn’t look too good, sadly, as it really contrasts heavily with the pillar background.
Pros: Potential, good at first glance.
Cons: Didn’t quite work. Layer 4 = no.
Rating: 5.5
Gameplay: Where to begin… well, most of this level are Jazz-ear-tests – you keep pressing jump and slowly go down through all the warps. None of this is at all hard, as there are no long crossings or anything. Then you get a Spaz-sidekick test, which I don’t think too much of if not accompanied by something else, like morphs or triggers. Sadly, this is not. You sidekick and jump, and that’s just about it. No RF Kicks, even. But it’s the hardest part of the level by far. Which is sad. The level is, by the way, pure test. There is nothing inbetween.
Pros: Errr.
Cons: Well, it’s all… normal. simple. uninteresting.
Rating: 3.7
Originality: I’m actually pretty sure I just finished telling you there was none in the gameplay. But the eyecandy had some originality. Like the warp at the end.
Pros: Bits of eyecandy.
Cons: Shovels of gameplay.
Rating: 2.2
Your levels don’t suck… they just are rushed, and often look bad/have lots of bugs.
(FTR)
(Flame tag removal. This will no longer be tolerated. This is similar to many past offenses, and you receive a subwarning for this because of that. -Trafton)[This review has been edited by Trafton AT]
You know, DX, at your level, you should know that a good level needs good eyecandy, and good eyecandy needs background layers other then 8. You could’ve got away with no layers 5, 6, and 7 back when you were new at level making, but now there’s no excuse. The textured background is yucky, too. There is hardly any eyecandy in the sprite layer, either.
The gameplay is average… it’s hard, but it’s kind of crammed into one space, if you know what I mean. It’s also short. DX, you need to make your levels longer.
Another thing, a hard level doesn’t mean Tuf Turtles thrown around everywhere in a way so that you have to jump down to fight them, and you will all most all ways get hurt jumping down. Sure, that’s hard, but that’s not a real challenge. Your levels just have lots of baddies… Like the game, Will Rock. It has over 200 badguys in each level, but none are placed strategically. Try placing enemies where they’ll surprise you, or where you least want them. Put a stand monkey on a ledge above you, rather than just a bunch of bats below you.
Ammo placement is fine; there’s nothing wrong with it.
Overall: Okay
Download reccomendation: No.
Yes, you should make more levels. Just spend more time on them. If you have more than 3 levels on the recent uploads list, then that’s too many. You’re rushing your levels, and they’re too small. You’re also forgetting to put in background eyecandy. People give you advice all the time about size and backgrounds… you never take it.[This review has been edited by labratkid]
Lutijn isn’t right!
EYECANDY
Eyecandy is bad in this level. Only a stupid pink background and many many many many many many many too many pipes. That’s all eyecandy.
Eyecandy: 5.5
GAMEPLAY
The gameplay is okay, but it’s a bit linear because you’ll walk in lines and killing enemies. The end is orginal, there are three Swartzenguards and you’ll have only gun9 to shoot one of them.
Gameplay: 6.9
ENEMY, FOOD AND WEAPONPLACEMENT
There isn’t many ammo in this level. Only the many Gun9 you’ll get by the end, and a Gun9 PU which you can get with that other ammo phew. Enemy pacement is really bad. There are too much same enemies and that’s getting boring. There are 3 cheeses and 4 milks in this level as food. Wow.
BlahblahblahPlacement: 6.5
MUSIC
Bad. Really bad. This music should be used for a forest or something like that. Not a factory like thing.
Music: -0.4
TOTAL: 5.9 = 6.0
Overall a funny level, download it only if you are reaeal bored.

HEHEHEHEHHEHEHE!
Trafton: Rating removal/Flame tag clearence.[This review has been edited by Trafton AT]
Don’t upload hotels to J2O. There’s no point. Just host them, for crying out loud. No eyecandy here, boring gameplay, and it’s just… not good. Once again, this is overrated by Quotentia, Vera, and that other guy. Once again, I’m the guy who has to make the rating of this level fair.
Bad level. The eyecandy is boring, the gameplay sucks, and the ammo placement is also yucky. You have to run this by dragging the level to the executable. That’s bad. Short level, easy level… just bad. No download reccomendation.
No.
I know. They are annoying me, too.[This review has been edited by labratkid]
So, a test… I haven’t really played tests before and so this was VERY hard for me.
ENEMY PLACEMENT:
This is a test level, so there wasn’t enemies.
Rating: N\A
PICKUPS:
This is a test level, so there are only a crates with gems at the end.
Rating: N\A
COOL SITUATIONS:
There was only the tests, but that doesn’t affect the rating because what other could you put in a test level?
Rating: N\A
FAIRNESS:
The level was VERY HARD but wasn’t unfair.
Rating: 10.0
TRIGGERS & SCENERY:
I know this is a test level but a little bit scenery would be nice for the level.
Rating: 4.0
SECRETS:
There wasn’t any secrets but this is a test level so
Rating: N\A
DEAD ENDS, ETC:
This is a test level, so
Rating: N\A
EYECANDY / TILESET USE:
ARGH! The eyecandy should be much better, that blue things in the foreground sucks and blocks the vision (like labratkid said)
Rating: 4.0
LIGHTING:
No lighting in there
Rating: 1.0
So here is my final rating is: 6.5
PS: FIRST make more test levels and do not upload them as very much files. Then think of a name (for example ‘DX Test Episode’) and upload it, that would be a higher rating I think :-)
PHT
Download reccomendation: Yes, if you like this game mode
Host this often: maybe[This review has been edited by PHT]
Another PS: No I haven’t cheated but it took me sooooooo long to finish :-][This review has been edited by PHT]
