River, made by Turtle, is a very good and well made tileset. It has got great textures and eyecandy making it really look like an river or riverbank.
EYECANDY
The eyecandy of the tileset is very nice. It’s got loads of plants, suitable for putting under the river as well as on the ground and some nice animations of a river and of a waterfall. There are also some other stuff like a nice, small bridge, a spiderweb with a giant red eyed spider (perhaps he didn’t sleep too well ;-) and some characters including a Spaz, a Jazz, a frog and a fishing Lori. And by the way, the animated fish on Lori’s fishing hook is very well made. Oh, and not to forget the big and excellent background. Overall, the eyecandy of this tileset satisfies me. Nothing more to say.
HOW EASY IS THIS TILESET TO USE?
Well, being (not!) a great and experienced lvl builder, I can confidently say that this tileset can be very easy to use. It’s small and the tiles are decently placed. So good news for you lvl building newbies out there! (-D
MASKING
Ugh! Can’t say much good about the masking of River here. The other reviewers didn’t exactly tell Turtle HOW the masking is bad. Well, I will. The ground, for a start, isn’t very well made. There are 3 different tiles to use as the ground and they’re all masked differently which I will, unless fixed, be giving – points for. The slopes and walls are even badly masked. If you turn the masking on, it looks kinda like a canyon! There are bumps and rough marks all over the place. The bad masking makes the tileset less suitable for singleplayer.
USEFULNESS
Since the River tileset does have everything a good tileset needs, I’d it can be used for any kind of lvl and make it look good.
OVERALL
A excellent tileset for a new tileset builder.
A good tileset if you’re an experienced tileset builder.
An alright tileset if you’re good tileset builder.
A bad tileset if you’re a professional tileset builder.
This is all! The River tileset by Turtle gets an 7.2 and a download recommendation from me!

An excellent tileset,the background is very cool and would be even cooler if it moved……(that could be pretty weird as well).
It’s a flawless tileset to me, I looked
at the masks and saw no problems. This tileset also has great ground tiles
which is always a critical point in the
difference of a good and bad tileset. Anyhow an excellent tileset, and if this is your first I can’t wait for more..

Nice level and tileset…The Masking of the tileset is bad. But the background is cool and some other ground tiles are nice too..

This tileset looks quite cool. But as it was said the mask has…some…mistakes…
The background is very good and interesting which is often a problem in tilesets. I think lori’s fishing rod looks a bit strange because of her blaster.
All in all it’s a good tileset.
No mistake if you download it.

8/10
MASK
The mask is quite bad, there are several holes where I got stuck in. This area needs improvment.
5/10
DIFICULTY
This tileset is easy to use, so it is a good tileset for begginers to make levels from.

Read the readme. The lvl is TSF, the tileset NOT.

1.23 Tilesets and Lvls can be played on 1.24
Bad masking. It’s also entirely in TSF, both the tileset and the level.
But it’s mostly good. I like the Lori fishing, though it could use a little work. The whole thing reminds me immensely of Syntax’s “Meadow” tileset.
It’s ok.. as it is in TSF, I can view it, but not view it in JCS, so don’t blame me for not rating the things that aren’t in the level.

I don’t have TSF be nice and honest with the 1.23/1.24 thing to not get non-TSF users to get their hopes up.:(
you know, you just might want to label TSF on your level file, just a suggestion. I mistaken it for a 1.23 file, but anyway, it is probably a good level. just a mistake correction
