A pretty good tileset. It has a nice example level, too. I’m lost for words, in this sudden spew of rapid reviews…

Okay, well, i do find this…interesting. “Bloody Battle” is about 55*55 tiles small and uses Disguise’s nice little “Darkened Landscape” tileset (which i have never seen until a minute ago, shame on me).

The design of the level is okay, nothing special. Kinda open with some nice gimmecks like springs, sucker tubes, good use of one-ways and even pinball events. The “elevator” thing at the right is original, but doesn’t add a lot of gameplay in my opinion. Ammo placement is okay, very slightly above the average maybe.

Same with the eyecandy: nothing spectacular, the typical lack of foreground elements and some nice ideas in the background layers (really, the idea with the eyes is neat).

But the thing that annoys me most in this level is the background music: “Deserto Action” by JSZ Jazz is not really the Scream Tracker hit of the month, it sounds more like a set of wild electric guitar and other samples. Sorry, not my style.

The value of this level derives solely from its originality. It’s worth a look because of some nice ideas, but not really something you’ll like playing for hours. “Bloody Battle” gets a high 6.5 from me (again, i tend to 6.5 instead of 7 because of all the overrating taking place).
And btw, i have no idea how people can rate this 8.7.

Tileset is looking simple (except the tuxture), but it’s full of useful tiles and easy to use. I like it, even if it doesn’t look great, ‘cause for me it doesn’t matter how it looks (except v. bad looks).

The levels eyecandy is very cool, I like the blinking eye, its a good idea.
Also, Violet made some tricks with pinball, looks really cool too.
The weapon placement seens being okay for me too, the only thing that drags my rating down is “JSZ Jazz”‘s very special music, you have to have a hard music taste for like it, and I did diffinately not host it just becuse of the music, unless I’d shut my sound off.

Very spiffy. This tileset is comprised of many colored blocks (as it seems a heck of a lot of tilesets have been comprised of lately) which may not be the most original idea, but certainally works. This is sort of a spinoff of the early Cheq copycats, except more focused on color and less on pseuo-3D special effects. The backgrounds the tileset provides are all very nice, and I definitely think that this is a tileset that is worth using. If you’re a beginner to making levels, this is a great tileset to start with. Worth a download.

Nice level, I see the changes you made. BTW, thanks for using my music. __ (yes Taz, it’s barfin’ but it fits) These eyes in background are preety creepy! But what if somebody plays in lower resolution?

Moonblaze, it’s Backgrounds. Not “Bagrunds”.

The tileset is nice. All blocks come in Red, Green, Blue, Purple and White. The 3D tiles are nice, altough the “gradient” could have been a bit smoother. The blocks neither look very good.
All the basic stuff is there: poles, vines, hooks, blocks, text boards, hurts, tubes, arrows and some numbers (?). No animations in this set, but you can make some funky stuff that hurts your eyes by letting the blocks flash to another color. Wee. Good thing too, the textured background work in both 8 bit and 16 bit color.

The example level has an awful gameplay, but it shows how to use the set. Good job!

This perspective view kind of tileset has been tried before by many others. Including me (remember Meza?). Not everyone succeeded in it. But most atempts turned out pretty wel.

I’d consider this a pretty good atempt. The tileset is used amazingly well in the example level. However I think it is very hard to use.

I’d say it’s worth the try.

Whew, Violet made such a block tileset, you can make blocks in lots of colors, as Violet noticed, you can also make up to 4 different texture bagrunds.
There’s poles, sucker tubes, and all the basic. There’s also doors, and numbers.
Overall, its a great tileset with lots of stuff, but the quality aren’t so high as Spazzyman’s Paintworld3D.

Another crazy level of Purple Violet.
The first what i see, uh, hear is the barfin’ music. It is ok with the level, but the music itself is very eeeeek.
The level rocks, you have a Climbable wall, what means that if you run and jump you can go up.
You see as background two eyes blinking. I’m not annoyed about the blinking things, only about the * smilies.
It’s really a lol level for Halloween, so download this. Nice job.

Boo! Yesh, i see it, you shock..

Wow. This level has a 10 without being reviewed. The ghosts must be out tonight. There’s officially 2 hours left before my Halloween ends, but that doesn’t mean that I’m out of the spirit. I played this level on a server and I must say that I am impressed. I really thought the blinking parts would annoy me, but during normal play, they never did. Eyecandy was very good, and flow was not bad at all. I liked the background, and it fit the season well. A very nice work, and definitely worth a download recommendation. Nice job, Violet.

@Tublear: Ask Fishguise. Im sure he know it ;P
The review:
Make more things like this for us, Violet. You are pretty good in making JJ1 things. This is a another professional remake. The colors, are changed, okay, and there’s SSF now (Wow! Dishguise helped?), okay, but this just rule. Tile placement is very very very (Etc.) good.

Just download this.[This review has been edited by Taz]

I don’t think it’s right to overrate conversions, these just aren’t your tiles…. So you really can’t get higher for this than a 6. Sorry. (Same critism that I got for my tilesets like CE)

Even though 6 is the max for me with 100% ripped tilesets, I still wanna look closely at it. I must say that you’ve done a good job on converting this

As you all may know, I usually give conversions an 8.7, but this uis different. I never actually noticed that the J1-Candion colors were messed up previous conversion sets, and that tiles were excluded. But Vio had decided to fix those errors and add cool extra stuffness. What is SSF?

I guess when I finally get all the JJ1 sets converted, I will begin making my ultimate level pack, the JJ1 files.

YES THANK YOU VIOLET!!!!!!

I have been searching far and wide for a Candion set. Unfortunately, my computer needed reparing and I wasnt able to surf the internet for a few days. I am overjoyed because by far Candion is one of my favourite sets. I dont mind if that that there are a few bad points because a tileset cannot be perfect, especially if its a convewrsion. Usually, conversions dont strike this high, so I think we have found us a talented converter.

Edit: Craccoboy, im not saying your wrong, but rating conversions is healthy for yoy :)
Besides, Violet worked really hard (yeah right) to give us this conversion, and it took a lot of time and effort to make it just like a tileset or level[This review has been edited by Blackraptor]

Edit: For all u who dont believe me on this is a good conversion, more to say, so keep scrolling :P

Candion being one of my favourite planets, is not quite hard to remake. The author included the backround mountains, and the backround. Correct me if Im wrong, but I think it has all the required tiles, such as the candied ground, the lollypops etc. The animations are low, but thats not the authors’ fault, since candion has few animations. There are the usual needed tiles such as destruct scenery poles, eyecandy, ginger bread men ;P. Im sure this converison would come into use (it already did ;P) and i reccoment you to download it or miss out on a great conversion made by the great convertor, Violet CLM, good job.
