Hey ÐX, thx for your good review (wooaah, rating 8.0)

So, here is our review for your „wasted times“

Eyecandy:
This lvl looks very good!
-We really like this waterfall (nice idea to use the textured background)
-In the foreground is this glittering rain, that looks good
-but the water-places don’t look so nice (ok, the tileset has no water)

Ammo and PU’s:
Nice, but you can place the ammo better! There are too many weapons on one place, and on other places there are no weapons. It’s difficult to find the seeker-PU. But this is very good, because I think the seeker is the best weapon!

Gameplay:
Yeah, we played this lvl (kalle has won, grrr…) and it was really fun!
Only one mistake: there is only one start-pos, so you’re always starting at the same place.

Altogether is this a nice lvl and it’s worth to download it!

Small sized CTF level by Dx. here goes.

EYECANDY:

Best aspect in this level. i don’t like it though. reminds me of semi a bit, but eyecandy isn’t that good here though. i think some tiles were used incorrectly, like those circuit board tiles at layer 5. eyecandy looks messy here, and i don’t like it too much.

GAMEPLAY:
Not good. many sucker tube events here are very annyoing, and you should probably avoid suckers here. level is too small, and navigating is hrad + its hard to get on the bases.

PLACEMENT:
I don’t like about placement, i can live with it though.

OVERALL: Average CTF level.

Ewwo, my first review :D

This level has good eyecandy.
But it isnt big at all, isnt it small?
It is.
And i think a battle level MUST be bigger then 150 × 80.
But i think it isnt easy to make a big level + good eyecandy.
The level looks good at first sight, and by the 2nde sight its good too.

A 7 for you!

Man i hate reviewing but sometimes i need to do it. BTW go review it also.

EYECANDY:
Good!!! The background looks good. There is a 3d background and it uses the red groundblocks and it looks new and original. There are multiple backgound layers used and in those layers there are radio`s, animated tubes and more. I want to say that the animated tubes really looks cool and is original. Also all foreground layers are used. Those forground layers are used for eyecandy and also to hide the character that you are playing with. Ok layer 5 is used for extra eyecandy stuff that has the same speed as layer 4 but some of those eyecandy things look kinda strange and could be looking better. No tilebugs.

pros: good and original eyecandy.
cons: Some eyecandy stuff in layer 5 looks weird.

PLACEMENT:
Fine!!! Well The ammo placement is good. The ammo is nicely spread out through the hole level so there are no places where the isn`t much ammo. I think again that the ammo respawn too quikly i think is should be about 20. There are a couple of powerups, i found bouncers and RF and there are quite nice placed but there is something i don`t like how to get the bouncer powerup but i will tell that in the gameplay section. There is 1 carrot if i am right and it`s nice placed. Springs get me where i want to go.

Pros: Ammo/goodies nicely spread out.
Cons: The ammo/goodies respawn too quikly

GAMEPLAY:
Oke!!! The level is quite fun to play and not linear. The flow is quite good i can run fast trough the level and there are many suckertubes and spring to get me fast on places. But there are many thing i don`t like about the eyacandy, like there are some irritating area float ups what blows me of a platform or irritates me because i want to jump to get on a platform. Also there are places where there are one ways what i never expect and the wall where is the one way is too big so i can easily camp. Also what is annoying is that some springs are hiding in the foreground so that i walk and then get bounced by a spring but i didn`t want that. Also on some places there are masking problems so i can stick to a wall. Uhm that`s about it.

Pros: The level is fun to play.
Cons: Irritating float ups.

OTHERS:
Fine: I like the song and the size is good and there is a next level setting.

Final conclusion: Good level but some minor bugs.

This is a late review.

GAMEPLAY:

The layout is pretty generic. It isn’t bad or especially good. I might’ve liked it more if this level was a bit bigger. The flow is decent, except it depends on tubes a little too much. A few more springs should’ve been used instead of all of those tubes, especially when most of the tubes serve no purpose. The bridges aren’t particular useful, so I wouldn’t recommend using them as they were in this level. On a side note, avoid using horizontal springs since players stuck may occasionally get stuck in them.

EYE CANDY:

From what I could tell, the tileset was used well enough, although it’s a little confusing in the beginning. Too bad the textured background looks horrible in 8-bit. After playing the level for a bit, I found that the bright orange made it a bit harder to see a few things, which could be a problem.

CARROT AND AMMO PLACEMENT:

At the bottom middle there’s a full energy carrot, and at the top is a +1 carrot. So the placement of the carrots isn’t a big problem. The placement of the seeker powerup is fine since it is only accessible through a coin warp placed in the middle. I just didn’t like how the toaster powerup was placed; it felt like it was a little too far to the right. In regard to the ammo placement, I can’t say I hate it. However, I would prefer if so much of the ammo wasn’t placed on the ground.

HOST THIS OFTEN?

This level isn’t bad, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to host it more than once. 7.0 is my rating. And make sure to the loop the level to itself next time.

I think i like it more then snooz but let me review.

EYECANDY:
Good!!! The background looks good there are stars, ground and tiles what looks nice and whit a nice speed. All over the level i see nice tiles of eyecandy what looks like walls. Then there are some nice animations like some sort of lightning and lava. The ground you are walking on are blocks but looks quite good because they all have different sizes and there are animations and other nice thing between them so it doesn`t look dull. I did`nt get confused by the eyecandy like Snooz had and i didn`t found any tilebugs. I see that also the foreground layers make some eyecandy things.

Pros: This level isn`t dull and looks quite good

Cons: The level is quite black could be more colors.

PLACEMENT:
Oke!!! There is a lot of ammo and nicely spread out there aren`t places where there is no ammo and places where it is full of ammo. The ammo is easy to get. There could be more electro blasters. If i am correct there are 2 powerups. 1 powerup in the map and 1 in a coins shop. That can be good but the Toaster powerup what in the map is is way closer to the bleu base. That powerup would be good in the middle. No bad comment on the seeker powerup that is in the coin warp. Almost forgot the ammo respawns a little bit too fast could be 20.
The coin placement is good placed also the coinwarp. The springs are also well placed. O almost forgot the full energy is well placed.

Pros: Ammo is nice spread out and the coins are well placed like the springs.

Cons: It respawn too fast and 1 powerup unfair placed.

GAMEPLAY:
Fine!!! I think the flow is quite good here because the springs get me where i want to go and if there isn`t a spring there is a suckertube that takes you up. I can quite easily run thought the level without much problems. There are no dead ends what also is good. It seems that the level isn`t symmitrical but still quite fair except that powerup. The bases are fair placed there are some suckertubes to get the flag fast or escape from it at both bases so that good. Its too easy to go to each other base you only need to walk 1 direction and you get there. This level isn`t really for 1vs1 because it`s quite big. There weren`t places where i needed any one ways. Uhm! although gameplay is the most importent i still don`t know more to tell.

Pros: Fair base placment and good flow.

cons: Too easy to go to the base.

OTHERS:
good!!! First of all i didn`t seen this tileset much in levels and the size is also good. I love the song.

Eyecandy would be better too, because it looks linear. placement is fine, i don’t have much complaimetns. wow, i made lots of typos. >D

>I’m not gonna rate this high coz i hate it! i’m sorry to say it. but some of ur other lvls rocked but when i see this, i get bored. i’ll review it:

Eyecandy:
The background is great but it’s just layer 5, that i find annoying, it is quite hard to kno what u can walk on or what u can just see and what looks like you look at it! The lava falling is great seeing as you used it on the background layers which are not always used. There are a few nice decorations in the walls which does make the lvl more appealling but i still have to say THE WAY U USED LAYER 5 IS SOOO ANNOYING!!!

Gameplay:
I hate the gameplay, there was no seeker power-up or RF powerup, and i hate lvls that dont have them! Or maybe i just wasnt bothered to get the coins and go into the warp is there is one there, in a battle u will only be able to keep it for a short time seeing as there isnt any carrots (or very few) and unless you are really good it will be hard to keep the powerup where ever it is. at least it is easy to get the Toaster PU. =P

Placement for stuff:
MMM, i dont remember if i saw food or not (or was it a different lvl) which i like there is food because u can get Sugar rush. The guns were placed nicely. but the coins are just annoying, you collect them for a power up and a carrot and something else i think, so there isnt much point in collecting them all just for that coz it is possible to die quickly if u suck or there are really experienced ppl playing.

I dont really wanna write too much more but i have to give this a 5 sorry. it could be a lot better, above average i think this is, =([This review has been edited by sabaspaz]
