Bleh.
Bad eyecandy, awful gameplay, a lot of bugs, you are prone to getting stuck, bad layout, bad flow, bad everything. No download reccomendation, but, nice try. You shouldnāt make a CTF level unless you have a lot of experience making levels. I tell everyone this. They donāt listen. When they donāt listen, they get 5.0ās.
Overall: Bad
Download reccomendation: No
Host this often: No
Itās not good at all. The slopes donāt fix together well, and there is no textured background. Pinball events, snow, water in 8bit, and poles do not work. The masking is not all that special. No eyecandy tiles. No animations. Just rather ugly. The only good thing is that the flat tiles fit together okay. No download reccomendation.
23.9 is mine, too =) My sisterās birthday is today (the 16th).[This review has been edited by labratkid]
Bjarni, it was too low⦠or atleast it was too low compared to the other reviews. Thatās long enough.[This review has been edited by labratkid]
You know, DX, at your level, you should know that a good level needs good eyecandy, and good eyecandy needs background layers other then 8. You couldāve got away with no layers 5, 6, and 7 back when you were new at level making, but now thereās no excuse. The textured background is yucky, too. There is hardly any eyecandy in the sprite layer, either.
The gameplay is average⦠itās hard, but itās kind of crammed into one space, if you know what I mean. Itās also short. DX, you need to make your levels longer.
Another thing, a hard level doesnāt mean Tuf Turtles thrown around everywhere in a way so that you have to jump down to fight them, and you will all most all ways get hurt jumping down. Sure, thatās hard, but thatās not a real challenge. Your levels just have lots of baddies⦠Like the game, Will Rock. It has over 200 badguys in each level, but none are placed strategically. Try placing enemies where theyāll surprise you, or where you least want them. Put a stand monkey on a ledge above you, rather than just a bunch of bats below you.
Ammo placement is fine; thereās nothing wrong with it.
Overall: Okay
Download reccomendation: No.
Yes, you should make more levels. Just spend more time on them. If you have more than 3 levels on the recent uploads list, then thatās too many. Youāre rushing your levels, and theyāre too small. Youāre also forgetting to put in background eyecandy. People give you advice all the time about size and backgrounds⦠you never take it.[This review has been edited by labratkid]
Eyecandy: Average
The eyecandy is okay, I suppose. There still isnāt much of it. The background is ugly, and there are no background layers other than 8, so itās rather ugly.
Gameplay: Bad
The gameplay is bad. There isnāt enough jumping room, and the Rabbits Stink signs get in the way.
Flow: Bad
The flow is poor. The spring placement isnāt good, and like I said, the rabbits stink signs get in the way.
Layout: Bad
The layout is very annoying. Not good.
Ammo placement: Okay
Okay ammo placement⦠not too bad.
Overall: Bad / okay
Good try.
Host this often: Nope.
Bjarni, thatās overrating, and you will get āTraftoned,ā meaning he will own/pwn/censor/rating remove/etc. you. If you want, you can send your reviews to me and Iāll approve of them and tell you if theyāre reasonable so you donāt risk getting warnings. [This review has been edited by labratkid]
Donāt upload hotels to J2O. Thereās no point. Just host them, for crying out loud. No eyecandy here, boring gameplay, and itās just⦠not good. Once again, this is overrated by Quotentia, Vera, and that other guy. Once again, Iām the guy who has to make the rating of this level fair.
Bad level. The eyecandy is boring, the gameplay sucks, and the ammo placement is also yucky. You have to run this by dragging the level to the executable. Thatās bad. Short level, easy level⦠just bad. No download reccomendation.
I took the palette directly from the Medivo 2. I donāt know why it didnāt work. Anyway, I made this for the sole purpose that I was making a very slope based level with Medivo 2. I thought that if anyone was doing the same, I should upload this to J2O.
Itās just a masking fix, Bjarni. You canāt see any of the fixed things, other than the signs. If you look at the mask, the slopes now work fine.[This review has been edited by labratkid]
No.
I know. They are annoying me, too.[This review has been edited by labratkid]
How did you download this if you got a 404 error? The link is broken for me, too. People donāt know how to read directions, do they? >(
Oh, GREAT. ANOTHER one of these. This is just a classic tileset where the tops and bottoms of the building blocks are small gradients, and the rest is just one color. The tile placement sucks here. In textured mode, the background here ALL MOST looks decent. But, still, it looks bad. Pinball events do not work properly here. takes off points Poles do not work properly here, either takes off more points There is no water gradient here allowing water to work in 8bit mode. takes off even more points Snow does not work properly, but it still looks cool, so I wonāt take off points. There are little to no eyecandy tiles. You can just make the most basic of levels. Donāt expect to make a level with this that will get an eyecandy rating over the ābadā category. Donāt even expect to get into that.
There are no hooks. -POINTS
There are no vines; at least none work. -POINTS
There are no sucker tubes, which are very neccasary in space sets. -POINTS
There are no spikes. -POINTS
There are no belts. -POINTS
Did I mention there wasnāt enough eyecandy tiles?
Oh, by the way, there arenāt enough eyecandy tiles.
I just got a call from the doctor and he said THERE ARENāT ENOUGH EYECANDY TILES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Overall: 5
Average tileset. About as good as they come when theyāre made with MS PAINT.
Okay, this isnāt too good. Itās a small level with horrible eyecandy and sux gameplay that just has a bunch of lab rats. It also has some MCE Jazzes and trigger zones that DX puts in just to show off that he went to Overlordās site. It is NOT hard, Vera, I only got hurt once and thatās because the boss is placed in such a way that you all ways bump into him. Itās not cool at all, and yes, there are many lab rats.
I AM NOT ASOCIATED WITH THIS LEVEL IN ANY WAY. IT IS NOT ASOCIATED WITH LABRAT HQ, MY OLD SUX LEVEL PACK, EITHER. DONāT CONFUSE THEM, OR IāLL HURT YOU.
Overall: 3.5
Download: Noooooooooo.
Rather than flooding J2O and using up valuable webscape with two levels that have the same theme and use the same tileset, why not either upload them as one or combine the two to make a bigger level? If youāre going to upload 5 or 10 levels at once like you do every single day, itād be a lot more convient if youād upload them together.
Just a couple tests. They are very easy, except for the second to last one, which is sort of hard, but nothing too bad. When making a test, make the eyecandy decent, and donāt put anything that distracts you. You have a bunch of blocks floating around in the foreground. Ugly, and it blocks your vision. You donāt have to do anything great, but you could atleast TRY. Average tests. I refuse to rate any tests high, because they take little skill to make. Windmeister is an exception; it has eyecandy, itās very fun, and it looks like it took a while to make.
Host this often: If Iām drunk, I might accidently click on this instead of another test.
Download: No.
An average level. DX is overrating, once again. You can tell the author didnāt want to do anything serious with this, and that he just made it for fun, as well as being funny. There is some eyecandy; not too much, but enough to pass. The layout is awful, and the gameplay is bad. You should never make a CTF level āhardā to navigate through. Thatās for race levels and, sometimes, for single player, when used appropriately. In a CTF level, flow, gameplay, and layout are the most important factors. You should have a very easy time getting through it ā it should be a breeze. This level is not that, at all.
Host this often: If all of the other levels in C:\JJ2 went POOF and this was the only one left, I just might.
Download reccomendation: If youāre bored.
PHT, you are not using the old brain. Donāt edit levels. Just host them from your home cooked list.
If I HAVE to review thisā¦. Fine.
Eyecandy: Bad
There is okay eyecandy in layer 4. Thatās not really what counts. This level has no background layers, and no foreground, so thatās bad.
Gameplay: Okay
There is some traces of gameplay and flow here, but you can tell that whatever seems to flow was inintentional by the author. Somewhat decent.
Ammo: Okay
Ammo placement is okay. Too many powerups.
Layout: Okay
The layout is okay. Never, EVER, EVER put dead ends in battle or CTF levels. NEVER. DONāT DO IT. NO! NOT ONCE! NOT TWICE! NEVER. DONāT. >(
An okay level.
Download reccomendation: No.
Host this often: No.[This review has been edited by labratkid]
Psst, Neon, gameplay and flow are the same thing. Foo. ;p[This review has been edited by labratkid]
Awful. Just awful.
Eyecandy is dull, nothing goes together. No textured background or background layers. Nothing much in the sprite layer or foregrounds, either.
No gameplay.
No flow.
Nothing.
Donāt upload hotels to J2O, just host them. Why would anyone POSSIBLY want to see your hotel? Maybe if it was really good and youād consider hosting it and giving credit to the person for the basic layout, and than you editing it and going on from there⦠but not this. Itās passworded, anyway. Why would you want to edit it, than again?
Uh, weird⦠thereās no point of this, so no rating.
Argh, I canāt do much here. Very annoying level⦠the eyecandy limits your ability to see. If I reviewed this, it wouldnāt be much more than 4.[This review has been edited by labratkid]
