Top 10 Most Wanted [DEMO]
====================
An average single player level using the overused diamondus tileset by Epic.

The first impression of the level I got was: “empty”. You could’ve added a textured background and some background tiles. Then I spotted some tile bugs e.g. (20,19). There are also too much floating lizards up in a bunch. I played on and then found out I should take that row of diamonds instead of that road that leads to nowhere. You should’ve added a spring on (43,32).

Uh.. You also overused the cheese event on one point. The things you need to do with the trigger crates are neat. Now, you can get out of the place you just got in with the row of diamonds. Guess who you find there? A lot of enemies.. A bit too much. And an 1up. And a wall. So you have to go back. Bah.

Whee, pick up the bouncy and destruct the blocks. Play a little, and what!!? The wall on the right is no more :P It suddenly stops. Uh, yay. Go on.

Now you see an overdose of trees, some chickenlegs (he oughta be hungry) and Eva. Together with some text signs and an exit, this is pretty much the level.

+ PROS:
Shows a little interest in the storyline, author put some effort in scenery blocks (triggers, destruct scenery, stomp scenery).

- CONS:
None to a little eyecandy, no background scenery, tile bugs, overused enemies.

VERDICT:
An average single player level, but too short and simple.

RATING:
6.2[This review has been edited by Electric Ir]

>General
This level uses a bad self-made tileset, which includes monsters that say that the author is the best, in Dutch. I don’t like that at all.

The level is very platform. There is no background or foreground eyecandy. The background is ugly, in my opinion. It is, as the author explains very hotel-like. The event placement is dull.

> Some minigames
Rollercoaster
Hm, fun? Well, no. This is just a suckertube, which goes many directions.

“Pin” your money
The place to get your money is strange. It could’ve been anywhere, it doesn’t really fit in the level.

Frog game
Multiplayer doesn’t support frog stuff.

Speed track
Very fun.. Ahem. It’s just as well a suckertube which goes fast.

>Conclusion
This level is not worth downloading. Sorry.
P.S. You forgot the next level setting. Shame on you.

Hm, a level using mez01, a very easy tileset but nice to begin with.

There are even some stars in the background which make the level better.
At position 69,54 there is a bunch of blue blocks which are flickering. You can get thru them very slowly, but if you finally reach the bottom you fall. Whee.

For a first level, not too bad. I haven’t seen any eyecandy bugs!

And yes, Guido. I have seen all the warps. There are a lot indeed. I’ve included them in the rating.
By the way, you should know; warps are not everything. People dislike going through much warps to get to an area. They want freedom to move, not to warp frequently.[This review has been edited by Electric Ir]
