    This is an very great level with an awesome story line. There are only some messed up places, bad quality, not finished eyecandy etc. And by the way the ReadMe is good too. Anyway I give it an 8. It was fun playing the level so be happy with 8 from me _

    Well, well. Its good to see another single player level here. We have a most defenite shortage of those these days. As of what i understand, this level was made some time ago. So lets get started.

    This level was made using the Labrat 1 night tileset, that came with the game. There’s no awesome homemade tileset or spectacular custom music in it, but thats ok, as long as what was used was used well. And i may say it was. The level makes a good use of the tileset. Background eyecandy could have been beter, it looks to much like the standerd epic layerwork in my eyes, but is basicly good, nothing to complain about. Foreground eyecandy looked pretty good too. The usuall mad scientist type lab tube stuffnesses. I also liked seeing those cute litle spike balls used in the foreground layers, it was one of the first times i saw them used this way. The rest of the level had decent eyecandy, not great though. I did see some tileing errors, mostly at the sides of platforms. One or two places looked a litle …. well…. “unfinished”, but thats not too much of a problem.

    Enemy, weapen and other stuff placement was also very decent. Enemys where well placed, it looked like some thought was put into that factor. They are placed in a way that you can’t just run through the entire level shooting about, while almost not being hit by baddies. Also, some of the harder enemys, like float lizards and fish where used, making the level more challenging. Weapen placement was also good. well devided around the level, it was’nt very plentifull, but its a single player level, not battle, CTF or any other multi player mode, so thats ok. Powerups where also placed well. Coins where devided in a good way. A lot where hidden in walls, ceilings, floors and alike, and not always easy to find.

    The design and gameplay is pretty good here too. The level has been well designed, and has some nice features, like a large underwater part. Sadly, there weren’t any puzzles, anoying obstacles, or things like that. This made playing a teensy but boring, but still pretty much allright. Some places where a bit too straight forward too. Especialy the end of the level, where you have to do a sort of long walk with nothing happening before reaching the end area.

    I must say that i like this level. It’s nothing special these days, i might say, but in 1999 i would have most likely given it a higher rating. Still, i give this a pretty good download recomendation, especialy if you like single player levels. I was undecided between a 7.2 and a 7.0, but i’ll be generous this time, so this 7.2 is yours.

    First of all, nice level warlord!!

    Nice eyecandy, good placed ammo, and a nice way of putting some things, one of the points that take your point down is the places where you placed the enemies, most of the time big goups of the same enemy, and those censored fish would have turned me nuts if I was’t using the jjammo cheat!!! :)

    Did you say “first?” You have to be lying. This is amazing.

    The eyecandy and layout are both spectacular. The name is a bit strange, but of course I’m not here to revew names. I’m here to review the level. The background looked a bit strange, but fit well. All the gameplay elements were there, navigation was not bad at all, and weapon placement was very good. For your first single player creation, this is nothing short of amazing. Keep working on levels. This is great. And I especially like the storyline. Certainally this is worth a download recommendation.

    I’d normally say something longer, but CelL kind of summed up the level.
    It’s a single player labrat level, with some tile bugs, not the best design, that sort of thing. It’s ok.
