    I dare you, if you nag about my review, I’ll kill you.
    I offical used 2 hours to after midnight on write it.

    The intro

    You can choose between start, credit, and story.

    The credit is “about me”, for saying it honest. You didn’t credit any beta-testers (if any), the makers of the music, or whoever that deserves it.
    The story is..starting, I don’t like the idea of the story, it dosent hit the “Big enemies, big guns” style, which is the jazz style really.
    Also, the tileset used for intro is bad, the letters are hard to read, could have been done better.

    Get down

    You’ve jumped down in the hole, and enter a hole cave of earth, lava, and gems.
    Intresting, but the tileset’s graphic isent neat great, but still acceptable and decent.
    Also, Piccolo aka Fawriel gave us a little maze with a 0% abient light, you’r really helpless becuse you can’t see your enemies.
    Thougth the bad thing in this maze may be the hurt that you didnt expect as hurt, takes a unfair heart from you.
    Enogh, the level is played in around 3-4 minuts if you’r slow, it isent so long, there’s a few very basic puzzles there’s posible figure out.
    It ends up with a boss, which is hard becuse you’ll meet him with around 2 hearts left and no good damaging powerup, a little lame.
    Music seens math the level, and makes you like it.

    Under-ground hive

    I liked this tileset, bones in ground, the same style bagrund as the previus level.
    You easy find a seeker powerup, which I’ve got an idea of is wroth keep to the end.
    Also, Piccolo aka Fawriel made a little extra life secret, a spring crate up in the cillemar, too bad that you dont even need the spring for grap the extra life, could be fixed.
    As usual, its nicely balanched with enemies, lava, and hurt, it keeps you on low hearts, whips weak players off here.
    And ends up with the Devan Robot boss, where Devan’s role has been used for a big evil bug I think.
    Again the level is small, but the music works.

    Phycho Hills

    This level where really a challenge, it had 2 puzzles I never got throught (cheated due the clock is 00:33), the enemies where over-rused and made me lose a life.
    I didn’t like the tiles you’d add for do the water green, it made it hard to see, again you get the feeling of you’r helpless for being attacked by enemies.
    I don’t think the music mathes very well here, but works.
    Don’t use the rest of your seekers, becuse I’ll promish you, you’ll need them.
    Again the ammo where a needing, there should have been made more seeker ammo.
    I where so lucky find enogh coins for a bonus warp that gave me a bouncher powerup, but I think with all choose bees and so, it should have been toaster.
    I expectelly liked the in-drawn enemies, worms, they where really good.
    It ended up with a usual boss, which this time where over-done, Ultraus (or however its name are spelled) are agreed hard to fight on a single heart.
    After all, I agree with the name of this level, and I think you should have made some hints in the puzzles.

    Acid Reign

    The second level in the “Phycho Hills”, a puzzle level, a bad one.
    I first used hole 5 minuts on figure out that the little green circle was a hole, lucky I got stuck a little time after.
    Then some trigger rocks helped me getting stuck in the cillemar, and at last, I stucked in the pinball, the level where after that not really fun so I skipped it.
    The forgrund is really a pain, the rain is moving fast, and evrywhere, its annoying, I desided to play on low detail in this level.
    The music, didn’t really match, moved over to being annoying.
    This level is the level where people often quits the game, becuse it loses the fun, but I wanted to continue.

    Welcome to the Machine

    I didnt like this tileset, except for the rotating skulls, they are cool.
    The level where a puzzle, I didnt really figured it out before I lost the mood, so I skipped it after playing the half part of it.
    The music didnt fit very well, thought I died before I skipped.
    I’ll posible take the fight up a day and make a complete review of the skipped levels.

    Out of the machine

    Wow, I never played sucha confusion level, I didnt complete it becuse I feel out of the level.
    The music is again, not really mattaching, I’d expect you would fish something better up this time.
    I still didn’t like the tileset, but I liked the level in the start.
    You should work on the level some more and try make a basic system in it, so its posible complete.

    Strongest vs strongest 2

    The music here…sucks.
    But the boss where really fun, thought it wasent a hard end boss, on the bright side, it was better than 45 Devans.
    You used my “I don’t like this tileset” tileset for this level too, no extra points for that.
    Suprisly I ranned out of ice, I did felt like freeze them, maybe it did me feel better, I don’t know.
    A nice ending on the “I don’t like this tileset” levels.

    What’s happending?

    A clip from the story, I didnt really get it, but whatever, I didn’t really catch up the story from the start.

    In the center of evil

    A breathing..garden. Serious, I don’t get this tileset. If its evil, it reminds me of zerg. More Star Craft from me, I’ll play it too often.
    The music..No. That just didnt go here, more a slimy music would have work.
    It where again a puzzle, but I where brave, and made it. After that, Jazz did meet his favorite boss, Bisly.

    That’s all folks

    A happy ending with happy music, the story ends, and you get a nice “congrats” folowing in a waterfall down in the bagrund.
    Also I noted that the “SCE, here we go again” had a little drawing error, scrath that.
    Now the story is end and I’m going to enemy placement, and more review stuff.

    Enemy Placement:

    There’s lots of challenge, new enemies to discover, thought sometimes they are a little bad placed, anyway, the enemy placement is great in this pack.
    You’ll get the challenge you’ve downloaded for, don’t worry.

    Ammo Placement:

    There aren’t placed ENOGH ammo, I bet Piccolo aka Fawriel is one of choose blaster users.
    But you can find some nice powerups in bonus warps and secrets.

    Secrets:

    Tons of them, collect gems, coins, and more goodies, its one of the pack’s good sides, wroth to look for secrets for anymore score.

    Overall:

    Get beta-testers, to tell you what’s good or bad. White Rabbit is an excellent beta-tester, he could have helped you a lot.
    The pack where fun in the start and the end, but not really so fun around midle, may make you quit.
    You should download the pack and try make it, its a challenge you wont miss.

    Download recommed.[This review has been edited by moonblaze]

    I always rate enormously high. So nerrr :P I love this pack. If the tilesets were made a bit better, disguise style, this pack would rock. Not saying it doesn’t right now. OMG!! points this is gonna be a loooong review.

    Originality: 7/10

    Very original, uses many TSF enemies, sometimes repetitive though. Very well done. Nice trigger surprises. Wow. Amazing. I loved the Centre of Evil… and also the computer one. YOU ROCK FAWRIEL ;)

    Eyecandy: 7/10
    Not the best, not the worst. Lots of eyecandy, although some got a bit of repetitive. Really nice though

    Playability: 8/10
    FUN. FUN. And…. FUN! :D I love it. The story bits got a bit boring, but very nice still. Lots of fun fun and fun. Would be nice if there was some bonus levels or something >:)

    22/30… which is about..

    7.3

    This is cool!!

    This is a cool levelset! The story is a bit boring but the levels are cool!
    1st part: Looks like a sort of cave. A lot of gems (which hurt) and many secrets. I don’t really like the music.
    2nd part: A grassy landscape with water and puzzles. I skipped the level Acid Rain because I didn’t know how to solve those puzzles.
    3rd part: A sort of machine. Cool to play with a lot of strange stuff. The endbosses are Jazz clones.
    4th part: A green slimy world which I really like! A lot of puzzles and enimies!!!
    Total: A lot of fun!

    You must download this!!

    But the levels are a little to hard.

    I didn’t like very much the third part. There is too much blood and the devils bother me.
