This is good conversion!I see a good disaign!Sorry for my bad english!

[Review changed to quick review, see the review rules.

I suddenly realized this is the Land of Maps and Treasure.

Both the tileset conversion, and the map are awesome. I don’t know how to describe this but awesome. Good job.

Aha! I see my betatester has been rather busy himself.

Scorpio Key had some great colors, tons of potential-packed tiles, and the example level was cool. I was pleased that the tileset was so well organized, and a lot of new, inviting tiles from other JJ2 sets were provided, i.e. the rope bridges and sunken ship blocks.

The song totally fit, too.

I also thought that Violet’s gravity-defying vegetables were pretty fun.

Perhaps the only reason this upload suffers is because it’s yet another remake of Carrotus, easily one of the most overdone planets on J2O. For the most part, Carrotus remakes drive me crazy, since so many people make inferior and (honestly) poor quality versions.

Not so here. This is a refreshingly clean tileset, it’s redefined how I see Carrotus remakes, and I heartily recommend its download. Somebody’s gonna make an amazing level with this set.

9.0 does sound like a good number after all.

The issue with alternate palettes is that the tileset is 100 rows and I already had to truncate its background somewhat to fit in that space. Creating a more straight up Carrotus expansion with regular palette and background but all the expanded walls/bridges/vines/thorns/etc. — CarrotusV, obviously — would definitely result in TSF-only territory. If there’s demand I guess I could do that, but it wasn’t my top priority.

Oh wow, this is really nice! Finally some decent diagonal tiles (excuse my horrible mess in Carrotus Fix)!
The additions from other official tilesets all work well with the theme.
I wish there would be different palette versions though, seeing as this tileset completes Carrotus in a direction different from mine and zapS’s.

@Leus,

The White Tile can be achieved in certain tilesets by using a solid color tile in a Layer 8 textured background. If the palette of the tile has been appropriately tailored, it will make the textured BG one color, often white or black.

Anyways, I loved this set, for all of the reasons that Leus mentioned. The hole in the floor (borrowed of course from the Haunted House tileset) was clever, the bones were neat, and none of the colors of Aquarius were hard or unpleasant on my eyes.

My one issue with Rage of Aquarius is that the Castle tileset is so overrused. There’s half a million recolors, palette swaps and custom versions of the set that it isn’t too original anymore, and successive versions have to be REALLY good to capture my fancy.

Fortunately, RoA is.

Good tileset, download today, and start making totally awesome levels with it.

thanks for this good tileset my next level will use this conversion ^^

I wish I had known about this before I made my JJ1 pack > <. If I ever make a sequel though, rest assured I will definitely be using this. A very important and I would even say essential tool for JJ1 level design that cuts back on a LOT of time spent level editing. To reiterate: it will save you a LOT of time and work…

I don’t know witch Medivo is better new 1 or the old 1. But anyway this is a nice tileset conversion, and i like it. There’s lava, spikes, flames, and chains, and… 9.5 that’s all from me.

Regards from RC Duke.

Bravo Violet!

Funky.

I’m not “qualified” to review such a masterpiece, so I’ll simply say that… in a good way, of course.

It’s interesting to see a tileset I’m so familiar with in such a new way. While the differences are largely subtle, the feel of the classic castle set versus Rage of Aquarius is astonishingly different. RoA converts the castle set into a much more harsh and unsettling environment. The traditional smooth surfaces have become worn and weathered, and the insertion of some of the bone tiles from the hell sets compliments the new style very well. I also really like the new stuff added, such as the holes and the stairs. One thing I can say about that is that, with the new vibe of the set, it almost seems as if the steeper angles should be stairs too.

The example level really surprised me. I guess I just haven’t been around in too long, but there is so much that I’ve never seen before… For one, that little swirly slide thing actually functioning in some way. Also, there were random “do not use” events that somehow became skeletons in-game. A series of alternating weird textures with warp horizon in layer 8 under a strange white tile (which I don’t see anywhere in the actual set for some reason) in layer 7 creates a beutiful radiating sun effect. AND, when I go into the events menu, everything is strange and different… No enemies tab, all the platforms and pinball events out in the open… Needless to say, I’m really confused. Haha. I feel like I’m no longer qualified to adequately review whatever is going on with this set, but I think it’s really interesting and cool. :)

The reordering of the set was definitely well thought-out, putting complimentary pieces in more convienient groups throughout the set. Since it’s a remake with some additions, the usability is definitely top-notch. I especially like how the bones were converted to mesh with the castle set so well, even adding some shadowed tiles with bones in the foreground and castle in the back.

Overall… Well, I was never the biggest fan of the castle set, but I think this conversion really kicks it up a notch. In my opinion, that actually adds even more credibility to this set. For making the castle tileset into something way more awesome, I’ll say this should get a 9/10. :)

No we’re not, Dodges. This looks excellent, Violet :)

Land of Wrath and Angels, right?

woah, i know i said i was finished with JCS but this tileset is actually weird enough for me to consider using O_o

It’s pretty weird, but still good..
Layer 6-7 should have more colors maybe.

Why don’t you make something new? We’re tired of conversions.

It’s Medivo. That’s about it. Glad someone made a better conversion than CelL’s old one, though.

10 for the same reason most people give it too: the author and his place in the community. Yay for the bias!

Kidding,the tileset is awesome,but the story is true
