Snooze has made yet another level with trademark snzspeed ™ (well, a few hours?). This time it’s an asymmetrical CTF set in a snowy, sunset area which seems to be… some sort of old facility set in the mountains of Carrotus? We have those steam machines and the familiar castle. There’s also a nice folk-esque track by Nightbeat to perhaps signify that this level has more “landscape” than “steam machine”.

The eyecandy is probably everything this set can offer. Impressive pipelines coming out from the ground, a nice snowy background, the pathways and soil have varied EC too, so it looks great. The textured background is also top notch – a light blue colour fading into an orange juice puke… err, peach colour creates a nice sunset atmosphere.

The level has an asymmetrical layout. The sides are rather well balanced, yet I have a feeling that the center carrot is a bit on the blue side. There are a few powerups, a bouncer PU on the top left and a toaster PU on the top right with easy-to find paths to them near the flags on their sides. There are floatup events coming out from the steampipes which help navigating through the level, but even without them it would be easy for both rabbits to get everywhere. Everything is well placed (aside for that full nrg, but that may be just my feeling – not that it’s placed where it shouldn’t be).

This level deserves an 8.5 from me. While not the most original level released it’s quite fun to play with it’s steamy floatupy :) theme. And it was made with snzspeed ™ :D

Fun level, nothing to new. Tubes made the level a lot more interesting, and the tileset gives the level a wintery feeling. Overall not bad, but the campy area (top left) can get a little annoying… sometimes ;)

Fun level, and I really liked the tubes, most fun I’ve had in suckertubes in a while. The level seems kinda well made.
I disliked the campy area, I forget where, the ammo placement (though that’s just me), and the floatups.
Not bad at all =P

Snz continues to roll with another top-notch asymmetric CTF level.
The amount of eye-candy couldn’t possibly be any better.
The level looks great, but not confusing in the least. The theme is great, but that’s a question of taste.
Everything is also well placed (i.e. some ammo is placed in strategic locations).
Definitely try this one out.

The cooldude did it again :P

Ahem. I was testing this!

Gameplay is actually quite good, but there are some great campspots, like the warp target over the other base.
Eyecandy goes well with everything. I didn’t see any tilebugs.
You should’ve added a stomp scen in the lake :P
The pickups go extremely balanced, but that +1c is closer to the red base. You maybe should make it closer to blue.
The theming is great with the frozen(?) castle and all in the backround.

Overall, I still for some reason didn’ t like your level. But because you did succeed in other things, I’ll give you an 9 with an Download Recommendation.

A very solid CTF level with a pleasant atmosphere. The layout is solid, although might be a little red biased because their base is slightly easier to defend.

Nonetheless, definate download reccomendation, as this is a very enjoyable level and one of snz’ best CTFs so far. :D

well, if you are looking for the art up today. then you really need to download this. even if you find it looking a bit weird , the colourfulness and sphere will overtake you probably, download your ‘piratecursed-violin-monalisa-jj2’ level here.

interesting level, if mostly for the eyecandy. the eyecandy, however, is so awesomely wonderfully interesting it makes up for whatever shortcomings this level might have. music choice was interesting, thankfully for the levels best the music is the instrumental version

in short, interesting

This is a new level by Snooze, and it uses Beach+ Sunset. It was made extremely quick, and it shows that Snooze still has the snzspeed. But the question is: is this level good or not?

This level has a really open layout, and it has a lot of vines, springs and float ups. So the flow is pretty good. While the level is medium-sized it feels bigger than it actually is. Compared to some of Snooze’s other levels this level focuses more on gameplay, which is good.

The eye candy is undoubtedly the best part of this level. The level is very colourful and makes the best use of this set so far (better than Condemned, sorry PJ xP) While it might look random to some people Snooze definitely put somet thought in it. The background is extremely nice too. The level is really surreal. Snooze is really good at making surreal levels and he has proved it with this.

This level has 3 carrots and 3 Power-Ups. The Power-Ups are Bouncer, RF and Toaster (almost every MP level by Snooze has a toaster PU) There is enough ammo so you won’t run out easily. There is a lot of bouncer ammo at the top, but personally I don’t mind.

Then a special section about the music. Snooze used an instrumental version of the song ‘Fairytale’. This song inspired him to make this level.

This level is really good. Download it now. You won’t be disappointed. ;0

A cool, psychedelic funfest with great eyecandy. While it may seem a bit confusing at first, it’s a really fun to play level after you learn it.

WOW! I just love this level so much! The eyecandy has got to be the most creative I’ve ever seen. The layout is fantastic and is easy to navigate. There are a good variety of weapons to use and there are 3 PUs which aren’t too hard to get. This was made in just over 3 hours which is impressive!
The music choice is good too.

Snz apparently made this high-quality level in 3-4 h from scratch. Talk about snzspeed.
The level sports a ripe colourful look, a nice, working layout and one of the craziest music choices to be found.
PUs, carrots and ammo have been placed well and the red gems provide a nice extra-flavor.
This level certainly has top-5 of the year potential.

I have always liked wacky, silly or abstract levels, as they fit pretty well with jj2. This level is creative and wacky. After playing this, I think the layout could have better flow and a more intuitive layout, but it is still enjoyable. The gameplay fits the theme, so that's good enough.

Definitely D/L recommended just for the theme.
