Look ere, if you think I’m gonna write a proper review on a Saturday…think again. :-P
Ehm…sry, but it sucks…and btw, the name Space Shoot Out is already taken. :-P (it means that another lvl has alredy got that name)
Oh, there are already so many reviews ere that I’ve decided to not write an review myself cause there’s no point anyway. :-P
Another lvl made in absolutely no time by Cell? Yes. Does it have good weapons placement? Yes. Is the gameplay good? Yse. Does it have nice eyecandy? Yes. Is the music choice good? Yes. Is the lvl confusing? NO!!!!! :-D
Alrighty folks, finally…(I’ve been waiting a long time for this) Cell has made a battle lvl that is not confusing which will add 0.2 points to the rating. ;) And not only isn’t the lvl confusing, it’s got SupErB eyecandy and uses the MeZmErIzE tileset very good although some inside areas would be nice. Spikes, diamonds, red and green shiny blox, waterfalls and pools of water lifts the eyecandy of Darker Dreams far, far up. (It means it’s above average ;-P) The weapons placement is well, good but ammo is quite sparse and could’ve been improved much more to make it better. The gameplay of Darker Dreams however, is the strongest point of it. When you battle in it you can almost feel…er…feel something… ;) and the…er…feeling…er…feels very nice. ;-)
There’s not much secrets in the lvl but then I hate secrets, they’re so well hidden I can’t find’em… :( Despite the fact that I do hate secrets, I still think the one in Darker Dreams is very good. Especially the full health carrot at the end of the secret cause it’s so well protected. Lemme explain: You see the carrot. And you want to get it. The most obvious path to it is to go under it so you do. But just when you’re about to take it you fly into an invinsible warp and it sends you straight back from wherre you started. Simple but effecitve. :)
I haven’t got anything to say about the music. It just fits the lvl perfectly. :-)
But, I do have some complaints:
You’ve forgotten to put some tiles in some of the platforms with the red springs. Also, in some pools, there aren’t enough tiles that completely covers the player so one bit of the body sticks out and it all looks un-natural. Fix those stuff Cell and you have perfectised this lvl. (Hmmm…do you really say perfectised? I don’t think so but so what?! :-D)
This lvl is one of the best ever lvls made by Cell so I’m gonna give it an 8.7 and a STRONG download recommendation.
Cheers,
White Rabbit.
This is quite an good CTF lvl, it’s got ehm…great gameplay, OK weapons placement and there are some well hidden secrets too. The lvl has got few dead ends, nice placed springs and platforms and…blahblablah and whatever and so on… ;P The weapons placement is well organised and really helps improve the gameplay but the toaster powerup could be more well protected Cell. ;) The CTF base positions are also well considered (at least it looks like it’s well considered, but yer never know with Cell… ;-)and makes the lvl more fun to play in.
Unfortunately, I really think that BIG gap in ths sky is very un-neccessary and it’s kinda boring falling all the time. There are also some bugs too, for example: you can go through some walls, and you can’t in some other. But since all the walls look the same, you won’t know wether you can go through them or not and may be running right into an dead end. Fix that Cell… To lower the points even more, the eyecandy is just not enough to satisfy me and because the lvl lacks eyecandy, it looks really plain and boring but then the tileset isn’t very good either. You should try using Mountain Hill Zone instead Cell, it’s much more better. Oh! And not to forget the whole lvl isn’t even masked properly which surprises me very much because of the fact that this lvl came from the normally very good lvl maker Cell.
Well, anyway, this CTF lvl gets an 6.7 from me and is still worth downloading despite the fact that it has some bugs in it and lacks eyecandy. Although it’s not a must, I still recommend you downloading Green landscapes CTF if yer tired of the old official CTF lvls.
Cheers,
White Rabbit.[This review has been edited by White Rabbit]
??????! Splash is back! Oh well, nm, let’s get on with the review:
This lvl’s gameplay is quite good with no dead ends and funny lifts. The weapon placement…however is very bad and there’s just too little ammo around with no powerups! (powerups rules ;-P)
The music fits the lvl though so…I’ll give this an 6.5 and an download recommendation especially if yer an fan of Dragonball! :-D
Cheers,
White Rabbit.[This review has been edited by White Rabbit]
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!!!!This test is far too hard for me, but for the test freaks out there, DOWNLOAD THIS!
Cheers,
White Rabbit.
YAY! It works. :-D Especislly the instagib mode, it rocks! :-D
This program gets an 8 and an download recommendation from me.
Cheers,
White Rabbit.
YAY! I’m the first one reviewing this tileset pack! And WHAT a tileset pack! ;-D I have a feeling that this is gonna be a long reivew…
Alien Homeland
This is a nice tileset, not the best of the pack but still nice. It’s got neat animated warps/teleporters/whatever and there’s also inside and outside tiles, the outside tiles are as Disguise said pink (LOL) and they got those white stuff on them that looks like snow. (Weird!) Disguise has also added arrows, vines, poles, funny looking suckertubes and strange pink..ehr…nets…(are you sure this is what an alien world looks like Disguise?) The inside tiles has got much more better looking tiles. There’s those round windows and nice platforms and not to forget mention that the windows come in two sizes. ;-P The background stuff is also good, some tiles can be used on the foreground layers as well. One good example is those green rounded houses. And to those who likes to make space lvls with loads of moving/still stars there’s always those kinda box shaped stars (There’s definetely something wrong with Disguise!) In short Alien Homeland is a very good tileset (although VERY weird) and you could probably make quite interesting lvls out of this tileset.
Green Matrix
AAAAARGH! My eyes has gone blind! This tileset is the WORST in the tileset pack undoubtly! The platforms really sux and the destruct blox are plain and boring. Blah! Only good stuff are those animated numbers but then it’s the numbers that causes ppls eyes to go blind. Well? Is there anything more to add? Oh yes! There is; this is not a good tileset.
Modern City
Wow! This tileset rocks! (Not more than the pyramids though ;) The tileset’s got many good looking tiles and they’re very eyefriendly unlike Green Matrix. Although it’s not as good as Town House 1/2 I can see that Disguise has tried to copy some of those tilesets ideas. There’s those skyscrapers (or rather groundscrapers cause they’re so low ;) and roofs with neat chimneys. The roads are the best part though, they look just like motorways and they can go up and down and vice versa (obviously) which could prove essential to SP lvls. To make the roads more interesting, Disguise has added some bridge stuff which makes way for collapsing bridges and other stuff. I really like them, they’re cool. :-) And no tileset is a proper tileset without destruct bloc of course, although they’re plain and simple just as those in Green Matrix, they don’t hurt the eyes which is one good thing. Oh! I almost forgot the fluffy white clouds! You can use them in the sprite layer too and they make really good platforms. Man this tileset is “cute”! ;-D Modern City is one of the best tilesets in the pack and maybe…just maybe I’ll make a lvl out of this, but for now, I’m gonna trust other ppl to do it.
Prison Sewer
Now…now…this tileset is fabulous! It’s even better than Medivo! ;) The tileset sure looks like a prison sewer with slimy stuff, water stuff, chains and weird looking cages (or is it cages?). There’s also the usual vine, poles and this time there’s spiky stuff on the ground and hooks too. Disguise has also added neatly drawn posters with words like “I hate my lawyer!” and “FREEDOM!” Prison Sewer is just…just…just very good. :)
Rocky Greenland
Here it is ladies and gentlemen! The star of the tileset pack: Rocky Greenland!! clap clap clap This tileset reminds me of one of Blade’s tilesets and it’s absolutely fabulous! The eyecandy is great with flowers, rain, distant green mountains, clouds and rocks. The tileset is the biggest in the pack and no, it’s not half filled with junk, every single tile is has got a use. You can make rocky and sterile caves, beautiful grassy landscapes or why not both? There’s also bridges made out of an interesting coloured wood and similar looking fences and arrows too. Oh, and not to forget the vines which looks rather like extremely strong grass, the poles and the water stuff. And there’s more! Disguise has drawn funny stone faces which you can use as neat decorations. Aah, let’s just hope that somebody…somewhere…makes an excellent lvl out of this excellent tileset (HEY! Don’t look at me!) or else it would be a great shame cause Rocky Greenland definitely deserves it.
Well, what did I tell ya? It was a long review! Heheh. :-) Now, you know what? I’m gonna give this tileset pack an incredible…9.5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I, White Rabbit, a nobody, hereby commands you to download this pack NOW!
LOL! Cell, you forgot to rate the lvl! :-P
Oh well, nm. Let’s get on to the review:
Wild Inferno is pretty good for a first ever lvl and it’s got pretty good (however it’s sparse) weapons placement. The gameplay is also good and I couldn’t find annoying/useless obstacles and dead ends. The seeker powerup isn’t very well hidden though and you can get it with electroblasters, try to protect it more. ;) Oh, and let’s don’t forget the funny texts! :-D (Examples: Holy chickens!, Smells gooooood, OOh! AAh! and of course D*mn it’s hot! ;)
Although the lvl’s got many good stuff, it could be improved much more by taking the food away and removing those annyoing hurt events. This lvl is above agerage which means it’s got an 7.2 and an download recommendation from me.
Cheers,
White Rabbit.
Very good lvl and an OK tileset and well chosen music. (It rocks, but not more than the pyramids though ;) There isn’t really anything wrong with the tileset, only the lvl. I’ve discovered some bugs ya might wanna fix Cell: the lowest engine of the spacecraft has a gap where ppl can get stuck at. That’s all. Good weapons placement and blablablah and so on :) It’s an 7.7!
Cheers,
White Rabbit.
REPLY TO EVILMIKE: Oops! Sry, I must’ve done a mistake in the uploading. ;-P It’s supposed to be “Mutiple”, not “Battle” so plz review the tileset too Evilmike. (Or else Cell is definetely gonna do something to me…argh!)[This review has been edited by White Rabbit]
Well, well…now what is this? More tileset conversions by Cell? They’re very good actually but since I dunno what the original tilesets look like, I can’t compare, sry. All I’m gonna say is: Good work Cell, you’ve earnt this 8. :-)
Cheers,
White Rabbit.
Wow, this program is GREAT!! It’s got loads of cool functions like making the text backwards, colourise it and add weird thingys to the text and loads of other stuff. It’s really easy to use and even a sponge (like Cell ;-P) could use it and there’s a caracther map too if you happen to need it. Ya can also make yer name suuuuperloooong although it doesn’t work for TSF. (Argh! Bad news for me!)
The only bug I found in this program was that some stuff doesn’t work when the program is in full screen which really doesn’t matter much. So…overall, this is a program which can be really useful to annoy ppl (therefore the annoying/taunting mode I suppose? ;-) and it can also be used for mass advertising. So…I’ll give this an 8! :-D
Cheers,
White Rabbit.
ARGH! Super Saiyan, call me WR!
GRRRRRRRR! >:@ >:@
Oh, btw, thanks for ya review, and thanks to Unhit too. :-)
BAH! I could do much better than that…
All there is in the short video is an very bad (and round) designed Jazz withpout any colours except green and no face either holding an weird looking gun shooting egg shaped bullets. If I was the author of this I would be ashamed…
A very good battle for a first with really neat eyecandy and OK weapons placement.
The lvl’s got loads of tubes and warp stuff and other sciency stuff and it looks well and at the same time provide the player with some faster means of transport.
The eyecandy really differs from some other lvls, what I’m trying to say is that there’s so called 2 in 1 eyecandies so it means that it’s also functioning as an decoration and also as something else which you don’t see in every single lvl these days…
Gameplay’s also pretty good with springs in the right place and there’s also plenty of unpredictable warps and suckertubes around. However, I don’t think you’ve used the bands to their fully cabability Monolith and you could’ve added more of’em to make the lvl better.
Well, overall, this lvl’s got neat eyecandy, good gameplay and OK weapons placement. It’s an 8! :-)
Cheers,
White Rabbit.
Hmpf! Very bad lvl indeed, very bad indeed…the music doesn’t fit the lvl nor the tileset at all and the weapons, baddies and events placement is poorly done. To don’t complicate matters, I’m just gonna say seven words: worst SP lvl I have ever seen!
Try to spend more effort and time in yer lvls Miika-Matias, then they may turn out to be of higher quality.
BTW: Interesting tileset, needs more tiles though or else it looks…too blocky. ;-)
Wow! Cool lvl! The eyecand is just superb and so is the gameplay. I have a few complaints to declare though:
1. Weapons are too sparse, powerups too. That makes the lvl a bit too boring.
2. A carrot! A carrot! My kingdom for a carrot!
3. Hmmm, we all know that 7th Lava Fall is a great tileset but it looks like Commander Dats haven’t used the tileset to its fully cabability.
Alrighty ppl, this is all. Even though there are more bad stuff than good stuff the lvl is still pretty good and is also one of the veeeeeery few lvls using 7th Lava Fall.
So…I’ve decided to give this lvl an 7.7 and a download recommendation.
Cheers,
White Rabbit.[This review has been edited by White Rabbit]
