Everything DX said goes opposite for me.

He said:
Good eyecandy
nice story
good ammo placed
good food placed

I say:
Bad eyecandy
Corny story
Bad ammo placement
Bad food placement

No download reccomendation.

Umm..
Eyecandy – Very bad
What is there is awful.
Gameplay – Very bad
None here.
Originality – Good
Well, it’s original… which saves it from 1.2.
Ammo placement – Very bad
Minimal ammo. What is there looks like it was just thrown down for no reason at all.
Host this often: Never.
Download this: Never.

Eyecandy – Bad
Needs work. There is no background, and not much anywhere else. The rain is ugly.
Gameplay – Very bad
Lacks springs, is Spaz biased, has bad layout and flow.
Ammo placement – Bad
No good. No powerups, at least none that I saw, and limited ammo.
Carrot placement – Bad
I didn’t see any.
Host this often: Noooo.
Download this: Nooooo.

Great job. Some of my favorite tiles are gone, but, oh, well. Great masking, great colors, etc. Basically, look at my review of the other version (if I reviewed it, I forgot ;p). Still, definetely download this. Now I can make levels with it, hooray.

Pink version sux.

Argh, out of all the things to take out, it was the cars >( >((((((( You could’ve left some ;p[This review has been edited by labratkid]

There are no invisible tiles here >( Put some in if you updated this plzthx.[This review has been edited by labratkid]

Bjarni, any module music file works in JJ2. I think they include .mod, .s3m, .669, .xm, and .j2b. J2B’s are only compressed module files, and they are slightly smaller; you also do not have to put the filename extension in the music box in Level Properties. For this, you’d put in jjsong03.s3m, rather than jjsong03.
Anyhow, good song. It sounds mostly like an instrument change, but it’s nice… it makes a more peiceful version out of Tubelectric. Original, too. The fill that leads to the 1337 part of the song that the morons Epic cut out in the JJ2 Tubelectric remix is really cool. Most people fail to make a good one, but you did that nicely.
Download: If you’re making a Christmas level, definetely.
Use this: If I’m making a Christmas level, most likely.

Joe, Bjarni has autism at a moderate level. Most definetely not severe, and not mild, but he has it, so don’t get angry at him.[This review has been edited by labratkid]

BOOM!

Labratkid exploded!

Eyecandy – Okay
This tileset is limiting with eyecandy, but it’s a nice try there.
Gameplay – Good
Good gameplay, actually.
Hardness – Bad
Very easy to complete. Races should be hard to complete, like Foo Races.
Size – Very good
Not too big, not too small. Very nice size here.
Overall – Good
Congradulations, DX ;p First good level from you. Keep going.[This review has been edited by labratkid][This review has been edited by labratkid]

A tiny race level with bad eyecandy and bad gameplay, etc. that leads you to an invalid warp target no more than twenty seconds into the game.
Download reccendation – If you want to crash.

Nice race level here, Snooz. You should usually make them trigger operated so you can host them in treasure hunt mode correctly, but it’s okay, I guess.
Eyecandy – Okay / good
The eyecandy isn’t all that much, but the tileset is probably very limiting, as it’s a simple one.
Gameplay – Good
Nice gameplay. Lots of morphs. You put the regen speed on the morphs to 0. That makes it take 5 seconds for it to regenerate. Put it on 1, so it will regenerate in one second.
Size – Good
Good sized level… very big. Maybe even a little too big, which is why I’m not saying Very good.
Overall – Good
Good, solid race level.
Download reccomendation – Sure.
Host this often – Maybe once or twice. Not often, though.

This level shows potential. Keep trying. One part that annoys me the most is the red springs near the bottom that lead you up to a platform that you have to double jump after using the spring to reach. That’s Spaz biasing.

This isn’t half bad. It’s not half good, either, which is why I’m giving it an average rating.
Eyecandy – Okay
The eyecandy is okay… there’s a background and all (no textured background, though), and there is plenty of sprite layer eyecandy, and some foreground eyecandy. The only problem is, it’s kind of overdone, especially at the beginning.
Ammo placement: Good
Yep.
Gameplay: Okay
Okay gameplay… very average.
Size: Okay
Medium sized level.
Food placement: N/A
I forgot if there was food or not ;p
Overall: Okay / good
Download reccomendation: Not really. If you don’t, you’re not missing out on anything, and if you do, it’s nothing special.

I can not rate this because I helped a lot. Anyway. I’ll review it.
Eyecandy – Bad / okay
There is no background, but Kate seemed to be putting in eyecandy tiles right away, which shows potential. However, she didn’t do it as well as you could’ve.
Gameplay – Very bad / bad
Bad gameplay… but don’t all first levels have bad gameplay?
Enemy placement: Bad
Bad enemy placement… of course, she didn’t know any of the enemies when she placed them, so she placed random enemies that sounded cool.
Ammo placement: N/A
Food placement: N/A
Not enough to give this a rank.
Overall : Bad / okay
This is good for a first level… no download reccomendation, but if you want to see an example of a decent first timer’s level, download this.

I told her to make it bigger, but she didn’t listen ;p Not too bad for a 9 year old’s first try.[This review has been edited by labratkid]

You didn’t include the tileset. From what I’m seeing from the other reviews, that’s a good thing.

Nice level here. Good flow and decent eyecandy for this tileset. There is a bug, though, that involves the warp spitting you out too close to a wall, so I’m going to have to take off 0.2 points for that. There’s not much worse then getting stuck in a battle level, because the other player gets a point for saving you. Either that or you have to use Controller to suicide and get accused of cheating, or rejoin, and lose all your points. Anyway, good level.

Bjarni, shields are bad to put in levels, and lots of powerups are bad. Thanks for the review.

BlurredD, that floatup was put in for flow purposes. If you run off the platform to the upper right of it and land on one of the window sills and keep on running, you need to floatup because otherwise you will bump into the window sill, ruining the flow. Thank you for reviewing, guys.[This review has been edited by labratkid]

Prepare for an awful level if this is used. The only new thing here is a background that doesn’t work in textured mode and a poorly masked tree.
Read my other review. As for the new stuff, my rating will go up to 4.7.

Sal hacks into all servers while someone is testing and then tests it himself and ends up doing a good job testing it.

Eyecandy – Good / Very good
The eyecandy is as good as it’s gonna get with this tileset. Some places look dull, and don’t have much besides the wall tiles, but other places have plenty of stuff. The textured background is neat, too.
Gameplay – Very good.
I like the gameplay here a lot. It’s fun for duels.
Flow – Very good
Yayayayayayaya. KTHX.
Layout – Good / very good
Yayayayayayaya. KTHX.
Ammo placement – Good
It could’ve been better, but it’s unique.
Overall – Overall, good. It’s hard working with this set because there is no flat ground to work with. Nick was drunk during this tileset’s creation and forgot the flat ground. Either that or Violet was ;p
