Hah. Never say your level is cool, because it rarely comes out ;).

“You never get a second chance to make a first impression” comes out here. When I started I came in a tube and then I got around some poles. Never do that in a battle level, it doesnt fit in multiplayer and you can easily get roasted without striking back ebcause you can’t shoot while you’re spinning around the poles :P. The level is baicly a puzzle, not a battle level. You’ll have to destroy the trigger crate. Then something will happen. Well, the level is WAY too empty. Theres much free space. The platforms are all very little and there are Freezes. Never put the freeze events in a battle level too, you can also get roasted without shooting back when you’re frozen so it’s unfair. The ammo is good anyway. Maybe a bit too much but I don’t think so. Layer 6 and 7 are also well filled up altough they have speed 0 so they’re on the same place the whole time. That’s a bit boring and too bad you’ve missed that 0.5 points ;). The tileset is also well used and that’s a plus. It’s the reason why this boring level still gets a 5.0 from me.

Whoo. Ducktales rulez, but I don’t recognize this as a duck set :P. There are enough tiles to make platforms with and the moneybags are also nice. The duck is also funny, I don’t recognize it as Scrooge tough :P. All the kinds of destoy block are there, even frozen block. Also poles are included. The masking is a bit weird tough, you can easily get stuck if you use this set. It also missses hooks, spikes, vines, Layer 6+7 stuff and a good background.

Conclusion: With a bit more work (More tiles etc.) this can be a nice set. I didnt increase the rating because it’s a first set but it’s good for a first one. I was thinking about a 5.7 but I give a 6.0. I don’t know why.[This review has been edited by Fl@$h aka BlewMeUp]

THe wrongness of giving 10s is that it’s hardly every fair. If 10 people give a 4 (or one, whatever) and you give a 10 something’s wrong IMO. Ofcourse it could be that you like the level more but the difference between 4 and 10 is too big to let the rating be fair. And don’t include messages to FQuist in your reviews. PM him.

Okay, now my review. I can be short: It’s bad. I won’t duel about the concept being great or not (I don’t like it anyway) but the level really is sucky. The background tiles aren’t placed in a textured way so they doesn’t fit together and the other layers (except layer 4 ofcourse) aren’t used so there’s no good eyecandy. The level is WAY too empty. Very much empty space and no platforms, just a sucker tube that leads you to the bases and only two crates of ammo.
The tileset (Mez01)isn’t even used good, only some types of blocks are used and for some odd reason the tileset file in the zip was called Dang.j2t so it replaced my original Dan.j2t and I CANT PLAY ONE OF THE DANG LEVELS BECAUSE THEY ARE AWFULLY MESSED UP NOW! Everyone has Mez01 already so WHY THE HECK call it Dang.j2t and put it in the zip? grr.

2.0 is much enough for this.

This? “Beats all agama tilesets”? Maybe I got a wrong version of the tileset, but this is definetly NOT betetr than Agama’s set(s). The set is small, not much variety, with a style of graphics I don’t like. The only plus about it is the background (very cool). I can’t say much more about this. 6,5, a downlaod recommendation.

Gah, Nitro! I was planning to make a LEGO tileset a while ago, but I couldn’t get my hands on nice photo’s of LEGO Bricks (didn’t had a digital camera back then), so i cancelled the project. Anyway, good luck with the set ;)

BTW: Betas suck.

Cool, indeed. But I really don’t think this deserves an 10.0. The level is sometimes really looking empty, but that’s prolly cuz the non-existant background mountains. The level is nice, has some good ammo plaecement, maybe a bit too few but that doesn’t really matter. But now I see why this level looks empty. It has not enough groovy flowers, trees or caterpillars. Also the platforms are maybe a bit too linear, and in fact there are really some empty places. But the music adds the points that you lost with emptyness: it’s excellent! A really seventies disco song (or something, I’m not from the seventies ;). It kinda reminds me of the music from the “Monolpoly” PC game (part one, from about 4 years ago or something) and Jamiroquai ;).

To sump it all up, a 7,0 is yours.

EDIT: Oops, reviewed whil low detail was on. Added 0,5.[This review has been edited by Fl@$h aka BlewMeUp]

Well, at least your “feeling” for level detail is getting better. Not that’s it good yet, tough…

The levels are all kinda the same. Very linear, very boring, very small, very full of enemy’s, and all the same tiles where used for the levels. I son’t think I’ve got much more to add… a 4,0 for the effort.

I think you’re slowly getting better, bjarni, but these levels still (sorry) suck. Maybe if you take much time for every level, add much more eyecandy, add much more variety, add less enemy’s, and stuff. I usually take 2 months to make my levels (Always MP, tough), and I try to make the levels very “comfortable” for the user, what means that they can easily play the level and have fun. So make a level with much eyecandy, much variety, and explain me what “grunts” means :). And: if you really can’t make SP levels, whatever you try, try some other mode, like Race or Treasure (or MP, ofcourse)

Heh, executor, it’s just like it, I see :D.

Anyway, this is a nice tileset. It has techno-like platforms, moving platforms, backgrouns scenery, some decoration stuff like things, blocks, tubes, Some other things, and that’s it. I’m ill, so I can’t go on too long. 6,5. Good work.

Stuffness. This tileset is nice. It has a very detailed, realictic looking layout and dark stuff. It contains stuff to make platforms with, cave stuff, poles, hurts, vines, text signs, CTF signs, Skulls, backgrouns mountains, a textured background, and that’s it. Altough this may sound as a big list of stuff used, i find the tileset pretty boring. Must be me, but that lowers my rating. However, the layout looks really “proffesional” and detailed, with stuff. The texttured background doesn’t look to textured to me when I played the level, but that could be my monitor setting. Anyway, this stuff deserves a fat 7.5. Downlaod this, if you like stuff.

EDIT: I shouldn’t take points off for boring? Why not? When a set is boring, a level that you make with it is boring, and boring levels are boring :). Anyway, I’ll add 0,5 points to my rating. Now it’s an 8,0, okay?
BTW: I’m Fl@$h, not Flash. Always add the and the $, please.[This review has been edited by Fl$h aka BlewMeUp]

At last! A good hotel set! !ooM

Yay, really. This rocks. The set hasjust EVERYTHING that a good hotel needs! Chairs, Mailboxes, pets, sofas, tables, bathroom stuffness, TV’s, things, a kitchen, a stereo, lamps, fire, elevators, clan signs of JOL, NP and CC (not that I need that ;), things to make platforms from, things to make houses (or hotels ;) from, a very cool background like in Unhit’s “New Castle” set, a bed, and everything wat another background so you only have to use layer 4 and 8. Not forget to mention the levels and arrows. I espacially like the letters, you can use them as if they are just placed to be together, like for “Bedroom” stoff etcetera. The creators also added an example level which is nice, with relaxed music that really fits good, and for some reason this is a hotel level I like. How weird ;). Again, the music really rocks! I can chill out with that music, thanks. I need this after my evil schoolday :).

So that’s it. I think this vewy nice set really deserves the 8,5 I’m giving it. Here, and make more cool sets like this!

This shows even Disguide can make ugly sets :P. The set is small, and looks very “MS-Painty”. It has the same evil eyes as the “Darkened Landscape” set, weird spikes (only 5 pixels high), some little bones, some big bones, weird yellow caves which don’t fit too good in the black/red layout of the set, tubes, Something weird (ah, now I see. It’s a spider web), vines, arrows, stuff to make platforms from, and some things I can’t find the “meaning” of. I think it would be unfair to give this higher than a 3,5, because I gave several 3,5s to tilesets with the same quality. The minor setback is the quality. It looks very painty and that’s bad. Well, that’s it. Now skip to the next review..

Lemme clear up something. A “J2O Addict”, “Top Reviewer”, or “I Might as well work here” rank doesn’t mean you;re a smart and good reviewer. It just means you made much reviews. So Freezolf’s “Occasional reviewer” rank doesn’t mean that he can’t give good reviews and ratings. Thank you.

The review. The tileset is really nice. It has really a “castle feeling”, altough another “castle feeling” as the “official” castle tileset. There are white stone wall scenery for rooms, black stone background scenery’s for in caves, a very beautiful background with mountains, paintings of our big friends Lori, Jazz and Spaz, pillars, burning fire, rain, spikes, plants, and normal stones, and even blocks. Not to forget the clan and name advertisements ;). I don’t really mind the “stolen graphics”, because they are almost stolen by everyone eho wants to make that kind of stuff in his/her tileset.

Well, i can’t say much more about this. Just download this very neat little tileset now! Rating is 8,0. get it before it flies away.

Fishyness! Whoo! This is a nice tileset with eyes, fishyness and fishystuff. Don’t forget to mention the stuff. The tileset has cool stuff for layer 7+8 (look at the lev to see what I mean, evil grin) and waterness. Also there’s some tubeness and caveness inside, and even vineness and blockness. Also there’s a example levelness added, and a cool readmeness. Well, six and a halfness! I won’t rate the levelness, cuz it’s uploaded as a tilesetnes and booh. Congratness, Disguisey! First tileset this year!

First, i want to say you have a cool nickname ;)

Well. About the level. It’s cool. I really luv the froggy part. Foo Fighters rulez. The ammo and event placement is nice, the gameplay is good, and the enemy’s are average. Maybe a bit too less. The puzzles are weird :). Well, I dunno what to say more. Only one thing: Sometimes I was “bumped” on a enemy. I don’t like that. You’re warned ;). The Impossible mission theme rulez and this level gets a 7,5 from me. Download this now if you want to have a good 2002. Happy new year all!

This was my first review in 2002. Yay :)
