Good job (and game) Birdie!

This a very nice level given that it’s made with a set mixing d*mn and beach.

The gameplay of the level is excellent, the layout is original, the music fits the level, the eyecandy is decent.

Very nice level.

I give the eyecandy of the level about a 8.5, because it’s decently made, though tilebuggy here and there (the tileset is to blame) and it’s been spread all over the level, there are no completely eyecandyless areas.

Gameplay is a 8.8, ‘cause the placement is thoughtful, the flow is good and there are only a few places where you need to jump.

I give the layout 8.2, since there’s some originality (as forementioned) here and there, for example the red base is somewhat original.
Though quite simple, the level is fun to play.

Placement: 8.5, the red base is original, which affects the rating.
Ammo is easy to collect and exists in necessary locations.
The power-up system (rf and bounce) isn’t badly designed either.

Music is very good. I give it a 9, since it fits the level.

Finally, the tileset isn’t easy to make decent levels with. Therefore “tileset used” is a 9.

Overall: I give the level a 8.7

Definate download recommendation.

Eyecandy: 9

This is likely the best eyecandy I’ve seen in something made with this tileset.
It’s also very creative, although just a slight bit unoriginal.
The water at the bottom and the fade color are what I like the most.

Gameplay: 8

Gameplay is good all around, although there were some (in my opinion) misplaced springs somewhere.
The layout of the level is a bit simple, but it looks good and works well.

Flow: 9

There’s no mistake about it that the flow is very good, except for the top of the level, whatever. No-one could possibly mind having two or three places where you gotta jump.

Tileset: + 3/5

I’ve faced some problems in the past using this tileset, but you made using it look like nothing to worry about at all. The scenery in this set is a bit easy to use, though.

Overall: 8.7, good job, download recommendation (duh)

DS covered everything, so I’ll just give him credit for that…

The levels are stuffed with eyecandy, but are still fairly easy to play…
Although it might at first seem a bit different, especially 05 (Radiation), which has an abhorrent amount of eyecandy. =D

The pack completes itself,
There’s a level for every thinkable taste and the flow is good enough everywhere.

“Betatesting” the levels was a lot of fun. It seemed as if Snooze can just poof and there goes another level…

I think we can safely call Snooze a JCS Hall Of Famer (or sth) by now…

This is definately worth downloading
and is likely to also be a good pack for tournament use.

Thank you for your opinion.

Putting aside the float-ups and the “crashing into walls”, your review made some sense…
Although you can hardly call the stuff at the bottom of the level “tilebugs”, for they are hardly noticable, don’t affect gameplay and shouldn’t bother anyone…

This is a exceptionally good remake. I first thought it was missing something, when I soon found out that it had it all, just scattered and hidden. The level varies a lot from the original, but not too much for it not to be a remake. Good job.
