P.S. Spoy I probably won’t get ICQ, from what I have heard from so many others is that it sucks. How about you just get AIM, or maybe we’ll just use MSN. I’ll try to get another account on MSN for JJ2ers only..[This review has been edited by KJAZZ]

Blode is evil. It was designed by a foo and it only appeals to foos (and the occasional FEIND).

This tileset, however, does look like it is in blode land. That would give it a somewhat high rating. Unfortunately, the mask is rather icky, lowering the rating by a substantial 2.5 points.

Well this tileset is pretty close to what Blode is really. It captures the feel of and just about everything about it. As far as the masking goes, well, it’s not that good. Eyecandy appears awfull but blame that on the creator of Blode so i won’t rate it on that ;P

Ehm…this lvl is certainly over rated (except from Aiko of course).

Well, no offense, but this is an really bad lvl. It’s got almost no ammo at all and the gameplay isn’t exactly brilliant either. Also, there are food. YUMMY in singleplayer but EURGH! in multiplayer. ;-P

The lvl lacks eyecandy too. There aren’t much animations around (except from the flying leafes) and the lvl looks very…simple and…naked (kind of). And of course (Aiko already said this) the spikes are both weird and annoying.

I can’t recommend A Diamond Forever!! to anyone really. But still, good try Spotty. I’ll give this an 5.

Cheers,

White Rabbit.

I’m a little bit surprised by Red_XIII’s (over)rating. “SpotDiamond” (the actual level name seems to be “A diamond is forever!!”…) isn’t a bad level but it definitely has some problematic aspects.

The layout of this Diamondus(ARGH!!!) level isn’t too circular, there are a few dead ends and too many irritating ideas (like this “cave of doom”). The event placement didn’t amaze me as well: a lot of unnecessary food, ice and coins. Spikes (esspecially if they don’t hurt) make no sense in a battle level for example.

Regarding the layer arrangements, i can’t say too much (nothing really cool, only those flying leafs, the background and some VERY FEW foreground objects).

Last but not least one word about the background music: no matter how cool it is, Spotty, you should never ever choose a 2 MB large file for that purpose. That’s simply not appropiate (there are so many good tunes that are around 100 KB large). I mean, the included Impulse Tracker tune (“Foregone Destruction”) is not completely bad (seems to be from this popular Unreal game), but it doesn’t really fit for this harmless Diamondus level, sorry!

To sum it up, i don’t like this level as much as the other reviewers did so far. It simply doesn’t hit my favourite style and the idea of using Diamondus for a such a level does the rest. Sorry, i don’t see this far above the average.

I’m not too fond of this level. The layout isn’t great, the eye-candy isn’t above average, and it has some features that probably shouldn’t be used in battle mode like that trao in between the spikes. I did like the music choice and the background and it does have some nice ideas in it (extra points), but that’s about it.

I liked the way the level was formed, ammo placed nicely but I wasn’t a huge fan of all the food sorry. There was a good idea of a puzzle inside a battle, but a battle?

A big fat 9 from me :)[This review has been edited by Red_XIII]
