VERY VERY GOOD I ORDER YOU TO D/L

Whew! I must say that i was rather impressed by these levels. They use a number of underused tilesets, Dethman’s AWESOME MeZmErIzE tileset to name one.

The design in these levels is splendid, and very easy to get around in. I’m glad to see a treasure pack here, because this game-mode is so darn underused, while it can be great fun having a good treasure game with 4-8 people. The gems in these levels are very well placed too. A good amount in each level, with diferent kinds spread well.

There is a great use of triger efects, like gems coming down out of the sky after stomping a triger crate and such. Eyecandy is also very good, these levels look just totaly terific to me, wich may be partly because of the fact they use a few of my favorite tilesets, but thats allright:P.

Tileset use in most levels is also very origenal in most levels, “Pitch Black” using the castle tileset to name one. This level makes use of the Castle tileset in a way i have no other level ever do before. Another good example is “End of hours” using the MeZmErIzE set. MeZmErIzE is probably my favorite Dethman set, its looks totally awesome, and is very easy to work with. The use of the tileset by BlurredD is just splendid, and has sort of a mythical atmosphere to it. I also liked the looks of the “Dark Awakening” level, using DehMan’s “Cyberspaz 2V” set. This tileset has a very cool industrial, dirty look, and even though it was auto-masked(lazy DethD00d:P), and looks a litle unfinished at some parts, its great to work with, and can result into great eyecandy if used properly, as this level well shows. Its got a great look, all tiles look so complexly put together, and i’m guessing that BlurredD used at least 6 diferent layers to achieve these tile combinations.

The music here is also very cool. It uses a few rocking background modules by elite music trackers. Tunes like “Blade” by Cyberzip and Shutdown left me completely breathless. Another well chosen adition was “The ZARATHUSTRA” by Drax, wich has a good egyptian sound to it, and was origenally chosen by Agama as one of the default music files for his awesome “Egypt” tilesets. These music files all fit the levels perfectly. I only did’nt totally like hearing the “Labrat” tune. I somehow dont like this music file, and would have liked hearing something else in its place, but still, i guess it fits good.

To sum it up, i must say i am very, VERY impressed by this pack, certainly regarding its only BlurredD’s first(!) J2O release. After long hours of thought, i have decided to reward “Lost Gemz, Volume 1” with a very high 8.5(!) points, and a BIG FAT download recomendation to everyone, treasure fans or not.[This review has been edited by >CelL<]

In Hide and Heat Seek, you mite find sum belt glitches (when you step on a belt but you don’t move). That, I can’t help. And about that missing background in Dark Awakening… I left it out cuz I couldn’t get the desired effects otherwise (I added little stars, too). Also, I’ll upload that Odyssey tileset when I put it in my battle pack :P (Sheesh, i would EXPECT a little more reviews especially since this is my 1st upload)

Very nice treasure pack, some good chosen music, splendid use of tileset, great eyecandy, especially in the lvl The Abyss and some creative ideas in some lvls making these treasure lvls….really fun to play. The lvls size varies from medium to small and has good navigation making it easy for ppl to run around without obstacles getting in their way.

I recommend download this.

Btw, are you gonna upload yer tileset Odyssey or not BlurredD???[This review has been edited by White Rabbit]
