Disguise, another great tileset creator and this tileset is an addition to his collection of of great tilesets. Well, i don’t like this as much i like the other tilesets. You have done a great job, its just, i don’t like it too much. Enough sucking-up, here is my review:
Eyecandy Possibilities:
My Rating: 9.7
Comments:
The tileset has many tiles, as with many effects or tile collections or background effects. There is a lot to put on the foreground, which again is good.
Animations:
My rating: 8.0 =D
Comments:
There are enough animations and they look quite cool, yet a bit wacky. =P
Masking:
My Rating: 8.0 ;S
Comments:
The tileset has good masking such as the platform lets you go on the middle and keeps the 3D effect. A few things have the masks missing. =S
Usability:
My Rating: 8.0
Comments:
The tileset is easy to use and is good to use, apart from that it can get boring if you use ut for too long.

Well this is another good tileset, but i don’t like it as much as i like some other first page tilesets like: Oddesey, Mega metropolis, Heaven, Swamps of the sleeping jaguar, Egypt, Sirius, JJ1 Turtemple, JJ1 Orbitus, JJ1 Langunicus, JJ1 Megairbase and some others like… I think i should get to the review. Here it is:
Eyecandy Possibilities:
My Rating: 8.0
Comments:
There is not much to put in the tileset as background or foreground, but there are stuff to put. Same with the sprites.
Animations:
My rating: 7.0
Comments:
There isn’t much to put as an animation, apart from scenery blocks.
Masking:
My rating: 10.0
Comments:
The masking is great, no bugs. Easy to use, hardly any confusing things.
Usability:
My rating: 9.0

This tileset is not too easy to use, but not too hard either. But in my opinion, it can get BORING to use. I really mean that, sorry, disguise.

Oh, another JJ1 conversion, again it is one of my favourite. Thank god it is good conversion. Otherwise, i would have already criticized. Oh well, this tileset seems to have all of the JJ1 tiles.
GREAT!!!!!! Has the music. Thank god. Has night version, thank FQuist (i don’t know why! Actually he made the website so thank him and Violet for making the tileset.)! Well back to my introduction, the tileset is better than your first version. Well, here is my review:
Eyecandy Possibilities:
My Rating: 8.0
Comments:
This tileset seems to have hardly anything for the background but some to put on the sprite and the foreground, but that seems to be what JJ1 has so i’m fine with it.
Animations:
My Rating: 10.0
Comments:
There are enough good, accurate animations and extra tiles as animations, like destruct scenery, but why no trigger scenery or buttstomp scenery blocks. Oh well.
Masking:
My Rating: 9.7
Comments:
The masking is great, but the windows or the invisible masks are a bit confusing but oh well, i could get used to it. And i can live with it too, i think…
Usability:
My Rating: 10.0
Comments:
The tileset is not too hard to use but it can get boring after a long time but that is if you make a level like 400 × 100.
vJJ1 to vJJ2:
My rating: 10.0
Comments:
There are some extra tiles which look really cool, and the graphics for this conversion seems to be more better. No tiles are missing, apart from that, this rules!

No-one reviewing this? Well, I think this is a great level, especially for your 2nd level. I uploaded a megairbase level recently, and it is a bit like this, i’ll say how later. This is a good level. Now you can see my review:
LEVEL: 25000 miles above the earth
My rating: 8
General Comments: Well, i’ve seen this level before but last time it was buggy. This version is better, and it uses Violet’s JJ1 megairbase really nicely!
Eyecandy:
My Rating: 9.0
Comments:
The eyecandy is great, the background has been used really nicely! Compared to mine it pwns. But i think the rockets go too slow. Also the sprite eyecandy is really good. Nice windows, nice crystals, nice walls, nice caution thingies and so on.
Gameplay:
My Rating: 7.0
Comments:
Well, in general, the gameplay is good, yet the part with the full NRG is annoying. You have to shoot it down, i hate that! Sorry, i’m quite fussy. The suckertubes were placed nicely, but i think they go too slow. The flow is simple and good apart from some parts. Also the part with the 2 powerups at the top, is kind of annoying in my opinion.
Placement:
My rating: 8.0
Comments:
Well, the placement is a bit normal, good springs, good ammo, good suckertubes and so on. Apart from that full NRG… Also the placement, could have a bit of better flow to it meaning, springs should hit you to another or springs hit you into all the ammo that is there and you get it all. Apart from that this level is great.

I promised i would review, and i think it seserves the rating i am going to give. (For all who don’t know and who care, I am Ragnarok). I may be a stupid overrater, but i love this pack, especially because it can be hosted online. Well enough talking, here is my promised review:
LEVEL1 Cat Maze:
My rating: 8.7
General comments:
Well, this level is fun and also quite tactical. It works with good timing and good skill and also a good memory. My favourite thing about the level is that it is fun yet challenging. Quite a few race levels that are challenging, are not fun.
Eyecandy:
Well, you chose a great tileset. And a great person made it. But really the eyecandy of this level is kind of good, but not extremely heavy! But it is good. I love the cats and the waterfalls. No tilebugs which is great!
Gameplay:
Well the level is fun. And the level is big, which makes it a challenge, but what is even better is that it is fun. Good spring placement, good flow, easy going (if you know what to do). This is great again.
Placement:
Pickups were placed nicely and so were all of the other events. Some animations could be annoying, apart from the cats, they are cool.
LEVEL2 Some race level:
My rating: 9.0
General comments:
I love the beginning of the level, where there are destruct tiles but for different guns. That looks like my favourite part. The eyecandy is kind of RUXOR! Blah Blah, i can go on.
Eyecandy:
The eyecandy again is heavy. But i kind of prefer the previous level’s eyecandy, but again it is good.
Gameplay:
The gameplay is heavy especially the spring placement and the part at the beginning. But the levels can be gay if there is lag but there is hardly any for me (at race).
Placement:
Placement is great but i don’t have much to say.

JJ1 Industrius was one of my favourite tilesets and levels. Thank god there is a good conversion of it here. The original one you can get with JJ2 kind of sucks. This one is better. Well here is your review:
Eyecandy Possibilities:
My Rating: 7/10
Comments: It is good that you can put animating tiles for eyecandy. But it is bad that it is one of the only things you can put in the Background. This kind of isn’t too good. There isn’t much to put as a decoration. =P
Animations:
My Rating: 8/10
Comments: It has all of the JJ1 animations and some other really cool one which i don’t remember seeing in JJ1. The background animations are nice for the buildings. =D
Masking:
My rating: 9/10
Comments: All the masks are like the ones in JJ1. Except one i think. You could have also added a tile for an upside-down slope. =P
Usability:
My rating: 8/10
This tileset can get kind of boring after using it for long. The tileset is easy to use. But there are 2 missing tiles. =P There is not any ceiling corner tile. =P again
vJJ1 to vJJ2:
My rating: 9/10
Comments: The graphics has improved, but some tiles from JJ1 are missing. The animation of the wall moving can be done but it isn’t as smooth as how the JJ1 version moves.

My average rating: 8.2 EXACTLY

Okay, to be honest before i downloaded it, i didn’t really think it will be too good, but it was. Maybe a bit overrated (actually a lot) but for your 1st upload this kind of pwns. This level isn’t extremely good, but is above average. Here is my review:
Eyecandy:
My rating: 8/10
Comments: Okay, the eyecandy here is really original and it kind of rules, But quite a lot of eyecandy things in the tileset are not there. The background ir really original. Good job
Gameplay:
My rating: 7.5/10
Comments: Well again the gameplay is good, but could be far batter. This is a fairly sized level actually it is quite big. Which is good. I hate coin warps so i won’t raise your rating coz of that. The springs are nicely placed. But the flow here isn’t magnificent.
Pickups Placement:
My rating: 6.5/10
Comments: The placement isn’t extremely good. Nor is it bad. I dont like the placement but it is quite good.
7.2 is what i am giving.

This is probably the best tileset i have ever seen. IT RULES, JUST LIKE WINDSTORM FORTRESS! Well BlurredD is an extrememly good designer so i will review this tileset as an addition to his extremely good uploads! Here is review:
Eyecandy Possibilities:
My rating: 10.0
Comments: The tiles that can be put in the background look extremely nice. After seeing E-prime, I had to review this. The tiles are great seeing as they are hi-tech and really decorative! There are sucker-tubes and pipes that look really cool and again this tileset has things for each layer like 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. My comment is that this ruels like hell!
Animations:
My rating: 10.0
Comments: My comments are that the animations are really cool. Like in E-prime for example, the red and black animations look great. The flashing in the background you can make is excellent. Also the fans look really cool.
Masking:
My rating: 10.0
Comments: The masking rules and it isn’t confusting and all the tiles in this set fit together really nicely and there are no masking bugs. Again it rules.
Usability:
My Rating: 10.0
Comments: This tileset is really fun to use and is extremely resourceful. It has every tile you need for making a good level and this tileset is extremely good.

My average rating: 10.0

Many of Disgiuse’s tilesets rule, just as this does, but i don’t really care about only 200 tiles, even though it is a bit low, this is a nice tileset. I will try not to complain about the 200 tiles. Oh well here goes the review:
Eyecandy Possibilities:
My Rating: 7.0
There aren’t much things to put in the background layers. There is some brown wall things and Some really groovy waterfalls, Are they supposed to be translucent? The tiles can be a bit decorative. But they aren’t extremely good. The Textured background looks really cool though!
Animations:
My rating: 4.5
There is only a waterfall i think as animations. But the waterfall looks extremely cool so here you get a 4.5.
Masking:
My rating: 8.0
Well there are no masking bugs though some tiles may seem to be confusing. Apart from that the masks are great. Great work.
Usability:
My rating: 8.0
This tileset is easy to use, but it can get boring to build with after a long time. Apart from that, it rules again.
Environmental Effects:
My rating: 7.0
The lighting that can be put looks really wierd but this is an Alien Temple! I never checked if water looked good here or if pinball looks good but i don’t really think it will, or it might. The suckertubes are nice i think.
Overall:
My Average overall rating: 6.9~7.0 + 0.5 coz i like this.

Great job Blackraptor! As I like to think and i know all your levels rock, here is an addition! Okay, here is my STOOPID review: ;D
Eyecandy:
My rating: 10/10 just…
Comments: Okay, i love the background, and i especially like the lava use at the bottom with warps and stuff. Also the tileset used is really overused IMO. The level doesn’t get dull in the eyecandy and the level is nearly symmetrical, and is solid and platformy at good places.
Gameplay:
My Rating: 7/10
Comments: Well, over here the gameplay is good, but i don’t like it too much. It has a very original idea to it, which is good. One thing I don’t like is that there is hardly any springs. But the idea of a suckertube with a base inside is good. It can be kind of annoying in this level because of the warps at the bottom that take you back to the base you were last at. I don’t really like that, but it is a really cool idea, so good thinking! ;D
Placement:
My Rating: 9/10, just…
Comments: I have hardly any comments here, but all i remember is that the placement was good. But the power-ups need electro blaster to get them. It is used quite a lot, but I can’t live with it. (-1)

OK, to be honest i prefer JJ2 tubelectric. But this is great. I’m rating the conversion not the tileset. Great job NOKA! Here is my review:
There are things for each layer, and basically no masking bugs. This tileset has some really cool extra tiles and the tiles of loading, the level. LOADING TUBELECTRIC. This looks ideally like JJ1 Tubelectric, except it has better graphics. Also this tileset has the animations of JJ1 and more. Newspaz already made a conversion of this. But this one is better. Here is my rating, you deserve it! WELL DONE NOKA!

GREAT LEVEL! I’m not really a fan of CTF, but i’ve dueled here like a million times. :P HERE IS MY REVIEW:
Eyecandy:
The eyecandy isn’t magnificent, nor is it bad. The front layers and the sprite got used nicely, no bugs. It isn’t easy to get stuck but you can. The level is half symetrical, in a way, and the middle is really platformy.
Gameplay:
The gameplay is really good. The bases are next to eachother, but with a wall in between them. There are 3 power-ups, i think. The springs are placed professionally. There are turrets which are pleasing. And there is suckertubes, which i really like. I would rate the gameplay a 9.7 here.
Placement:
THE PLACEMENT IS EXCELLENT! It is placed very professionally, seeing as when you hit a spring you will get all the pieces of ammo, Which is extremely good. Placement would get a 10 from me

Now this is a good level, a battle but it has a few things that bring it down. Here is my review VIOLET CLM!
Eyecandy:
The eyecandy here is really cool! I love the way there are sludge balls change color and move up and down. This is excellent. There doesn’t seem to be any bugs on the sprite.
Gameplay:
The gameplay here is great, The suckertubes are really cool. But what brings this down is that there are a few (actually a lot of) dead-ends. That kind of brings it down. Apart from that it rules.
Placement:
The pickup placement again is great and that is great!
Overall:
This level is great, it just needs less dead-ends.

My Rating: 9.7
Eyecandy: The foreground and sprite layer eyecandy is great, but the background is even better. It is great!
Gameplay: The gameplay is excellent, it is fun and easy to move around in. There is an excellent flow.
Placement: Placement is excellent: The 3 carrots, the power-ups, the ammo, One thing that wasn’t here, no coin warp, well none of the levels have them.
LEVEL2 Abandoned Toy Factory:
My Rating: 9.7 again.
Eyecandy: The eyecandy is excellent all around, background, sprite, foreground, no bugs. Just one thing i dont like is the tileset is a bit dull in colors.
Gameplay: This level has great flow again and is fun again!
Placement: The placement is fantastic just as all the levels in this pack I think.
LEVEL3 ???
My Rating: 9.7 yet again!

This is a good level, but it is far too overrated, in my opinion. This would have an appropriate rating for the time it was uploaded, but now this would probably get lower, I would have given a 7 or something but this is good for the time uploaded and that is what I am concentrating on. So here is my review:
Eyecandy:
The eyecnady in the background is normal (as usual) and isn’t different or extremely original, sadly. However on the front layer or the foreground there are thorns nearly everywhere, which is quite cool. And there no Eyecandy bugs, or were there? There were lighting effects and caves which are really cool.
Gameplay:
The gameplay is kind of good:
Good:
1) Lots of springs
2) Easy to run apart from sometimes
3) Big level
4) Some parts are Jazz-based and some are Spaz-based.
5) Good structure
Bad:
1) Few dead-ends
2) Annoying jumps
3) Very Platformy
4) Some pointless springs.
Well enough of that…
Placement:
The ammo was placed nicely, apart from some annoying parts. The carrots are placed greatly and some areas have bad placement. Apart from that it is good.
Again, i may be an idiotic underrater, or overrater to other levels but i don’t care, it is my opinion that this should get a lower rating that im giving, but oh well.

Ok, I may be a stupid underrater, but i really hate this tileset. It is good, but and has great graphics, but i think it is too much different to the jazz graphics. It may be that i’m just not used to it. But this tileset, is basically really dark and always using greeny colours. That kind of kills the Eyecandy factor. There isn’t much to put in the background. Some to put the foreground. Okay, now basically no animations (if not none) which is kind of boring. Also this tileset has basically very few masking bugs, thank god for that…. This tileset isn’t very fun to build with too. ;P Well here’s my rating.

Lovely conversion, for a great tileset! Well done NOKA! Make more conversions please! All of your tilesets rule!
There are things to put on each layer which is good and there are basically no masking bugs, unless you flip tiles, then it can backfire a bit! But if you don’t flip, i think all the tiles you need are there! Nice to see that there was an example level and different palettes, and the music. There are a few extra tiles and some animations. Extremely nice! It isn’t hard to use so that is a good thing. Also there are quite a lot of tiles, which is very pleasing. I hope to see more from NOKA!
