at the first rate i think it`s a very intense level with al the warps(wich is good,i like intens)
the ammo plcement is only once appearing,so it`s an get-it-or-never-get-it situation
my opinion:worth an 8

[Unsupported (8) rating removal. You have not specified any reason the level is good besides it being “intens” (intense). Your review is barely readable. Please provide more detail in your reviews as to why the level is good. Rate all aspects of the level – eyecandy, gameplay, ammo/enemy placement, etcetera. – FQuist]

Eyecandy:ugh…Not very good. The worst pert of the eye candy is the platforms.The platforms don’t realy have a end, it’s just the middle.Also you can tell that this level was rushed from the bad eyecandy or just that gam-ie is just bad at eyecandy.I can tell that gam-ie used the same tiles over and over in the same way.

Gameplay: warp warp warp warp warp warp every where,which is kind of anoying. Theres not much game play at all in this level.

Item placement: theres not much of an avraity of weapons in this level. Just 2 types of weapons and 1 max weapon.

Size:It’s so small. Try playing this level with lots of players, and you’ll find out a problem.

Score:3.0 = bad

Improvements: Make the level bigger,more types of weapons,mybe less warps, and better eyecandy. And next time you build a level let somebody test it for you, beacause they will notice if it is cheapy (unless they are very bad at jj2 level making)So try again. And don’t rush (if gam-ie did rush)

I think you don’t have to put a readme with just a single level in this upload.

Eyecandy

This is the same as your previous level.
I don’t know who said to you that you can’t make single player levels, but the reviewers didn’t.
You will do this in single and in multiplayer. Play your levels yourself, look at your background. We don’t have cracks in the sky on earth, do we.
Look more carefully at which titles you use. Also the ground were you’re standing on doesn’t has edges, its just the middle of a platform at a edge.

Gameplay

The Gameplay is better than in your first level, but still needs a lot of attention. There are only 2 little rooms in the level where you can fight and in one there is none bottom and you warp back to the other.

Placement

Only bouncher and toaster crates.
You could have put some more single bullets in there and also a power up.

Size

The size is still too small, look at other people’s levels and see how they made them.

EYECANDY: 1.5
GAMEPLAY: 3.0
PLACEMENT:1.5
SIZE: 2.5

FINAL GRADE: 2.5

TIP: Don’t put all your levels here, look or they are good enough.
Also, im Dutch, so if you don’t get anything from this review just PM me.

This level felt rather more entertaining than the first release (second level) of gam-ies levels. This wasn’t an ordinary level, it was narrated..

EYECANDY:
To be honest, the first glimse of eyecandy was not convincing. The below-ground tiles were obviously dragged and the ceiling….well…looked the same. Those are some of a long list of errors. The way the level looked wasn’t the only problem. The poor quality of the level created some huge masking errors (like near the beggining). The backround was a half-sky half-leaf backround. If you put all those together, the result is certainly not good. Gam-ie has some work to do.
RATING: 2.4

GAMEPLAY:
The first problem was that there was a huge lack of gameplay…and the only gameplay there is not dissapointing, but amusing. Amusing not because the level is superb, but amusing because of the low quality of the gameplay. The only obstacles in the level were spikes and dragonflies (And 4 lizards). There is a coin warp in the level and your reward…2 super gems. But again you put dragonflies in there which almost defies the meaning of ‘bonus warp’. about 60% of gameplay was text. The story for this level was about a rabbit who had to go around killing flies.
RATING: 1.4

ITEMS:
There were less than 7 groups of items. There were 9 blue gems, 2 super gems, 1 carrot, 2 coins, 18 special ammo and the other 2 group was just food. The 2 gold coins were right next to a warp you had to go through to get to the end. The level was so small that there probaly no room for items anyway.
RATING: 1.8

AVERAGE RATING: 1.8

BONUSSES:

MUSIC:
A level needs music. If its a j2b file, type just the name. If its s3m, mod, xm, it, wav, 669 or any other module, type the name plus the extension. Eg. DEMONIC.mod, light.s3m….. +0

TILESET:
If you use other peoples tilesets, the level may not be boring. +0

BONUS: 0
FINAL RATING: 1.8
RANK: 1 Crap
DOWNLOAD?: If you’re bored.
FINAL COMMENT:
Read reviews carefully and take care doing levels.

Did you know that if you click on guestbook on your site you get the weather page?

Eyecandy

Take a look at other levels,
They all don’t have a ******* background like this, right. put 8 at height and 8 at lenght and make it textured.
You put a three for the background in the layer 4 which causes a lot of lag.
Also the ground were you are walking on isn’t good connected to the next ground and that walls have the middle titles at their edges.

Gameplay

This level is way too easy, there are arround 4 flying lizards and 10 dragonsfly’s mostly in groops also you are too quick done with this level.
At the end you get a bonus level with diamonds, but if it contained something worthfull you couldn’t use it anymore because there the level is finished.
Also wen you reach the end area jj2 closes. This is because you didn’t typed the next level. If there is none, typ endepis.

Placement

Enemies are placed in groups.
This level is just too small to tell anything about the ammo placement.

Size

The size is too small and also most of the ‘gaps’ where you are walking though are too small.

This is you second level but your first upload on JJ2. Since it is your first upload I will give you a 0.5 bonus because you are new here and I am friendly with first uploads.

EYECANDY:
The eyecandy may explain why this is your first level. there are a high number of tilebugs and the backround is not fixed and textured. Carrotus is one of those tilesets where you have to spend a lot of time on and the auther clearly spend maybe less than 5 or 10 days on this level. Another problem arises when you’re playing this level in high resolution. You can see below the ground and through the wall into nothingness.
RATING: 2.3

GAMEPLAY:
This had a fair amount of gameplay for the level size but all of this is squashed into a small space. The warp bit of the level was so small that it was quite hard to miss a warp. Also, the correct warp is too easy to find and you should signal where your warps are positioned. That seems to be about all the gameplay there is in the level. There were not many obstacles either. Yes this is a level for begginers but try not to upload them here. Use your levels to train yorself and if you think they’re of approapriate difficulty, upload them. Its embarassing if you have an easy level and then say in the text ‘that was pretty tough huh?’.
RATING: 2.1

ITEMS:
Because of the easy difficulty, the level is very rewarding with items. There was a very easy 1up to get and a very good reward for finding a very easy to find warp. Its a shame all the items are where you don’t need them, near the end of the level (unless you are doing a level pack or have a boss as your ending).
RATING: 2.2
AVERAGE RATING: 2.2
BONUSSES:

MUSIC:
If you want a bonus for your levels and to give the level more fun, I suggest putting music in the level. +0

TILESET:
A standard JJ2 tileset that has not been used properly. Scan the tileset to see what animated tiles you could put in. +0

(You do get a .5 bonus since its your first upload)
BONUS: 0.5
FINAL RATING: 2.7
RANK: 2 Terrible
DOWNLOAD?: No (Requires 4 for N/A, Requires 7 for Yes)
FINAL COMMENT:
Well, 2 for a first try is not so good. Read carefully the advice reviewers give you and keep trying.

This is a typical beginner’s level. That is not a very bad thing, because you learn by the errors you make. However, you won’t get high ratings which such levels of course. Here’s what’s wrong:

Gameplay: 2.5

Before I could play, I encountered the first common mistake new designers do: the hide level in home cooked list option is on. If this option is activated, the level can’t be accessed from the home cooked levels episode, so I had to open the file in the level editor and disable it. This is annoying, but none the less I started to play. I didn’t look at the time, but I think it took me about a minute or two to get to the end. The whole level is pretty much a try-out with some random events. You jump over some small pits with turtles on, warp to a more or less secret room with some goodies, kill a few more enemies and grab a tnt that you don’t need and then the level ends. Not a very exciting playing experience. The main problem is that no real thought has been put into placing the events. It always feels like the designer just put in what he thought might be good to try it out. There’s also no real challenge even for a beginner, because the level is so short and the few enemies there are can be easily killed before they hit you.

Creativity: 2.2

Not a whole lot of creativity, but with that short size there’s not a lot of space for creative stuff anyway. Well, the author mentioned that it wouldn’t be very original, but that’s exactly the point. If it’s not, then spend some effort to make it what it should be. Putting in some creative stuff is not as hard as it seems. I could think off a complicated puzzle right now if I wanted to. Just think about what you can do with certain events, and you’ll almost always get some ideas.

Eyecandy: 1.5

Here it shows again how inexperienced the designer still is. There are a lot of tile bugs, in short, the set just hasn’t been used the way it should be, mostly because the designer didn’t know how. At least it seems so. This can be easily overcome by just practice. Fool around, try some stuff, and you can get to decent results. The way it is now, it’s not a pleasure for the eye though.

Conclusion:

Like I said, this is more something like a try-out than a challenging level. Practice makes perfect is my advice. With more experience, surely better results can be achieved.

Final Rating: 2.0, no download recommendation
