(old review removed, replaced with original system)
TILESET/TILESET USE: The level uses Mez01, but not incredibly well. The walls consist of semi-random colorful blocks, but the main unattraction is the background, which is the worst I’ve ever seen using Mez01. It fits together about as well as the walls in Norbii’s “Green Land”.
Pros: More then one wall tile used, colorful.
Cons: The background, and there’s really nothing interesting. No foreground or background eyecandy.
Rating: 1.0
WEAPON/ITEM PLACEMENT: This is, strangely, the first level I’ve reviewed today with either of these. It has a lot of powerups in the upper right area, a lot of ammo in a falling area, and a bunch of coins on the bottom left. There’s a coin warp above the red base leading you to a full energy carrot and a fire shield.
Pros: Coins not insanely overused or bunched up.
Cons: Weapons too bunched up, too sparse elsewhere, coin warp only set to 10 coins.
Rating: 1.5
ORIGINALITY: This is probably one of the only levels advertised as Battle despite obviously being CTF….
Pros: Layout’s also kind of original, as you take completely different paths between the bases depending on which you started from.
Cons: This isn’t necessarily a good thing.. but it’s done kind of well, and shows a little thought.
Rating: 2.2
GAMEPLAY/DESIGN: Hmmmmm. There’s a rectangle area at the top right with powerups and the blue base. From there, you fall down through ammo to another rectanglish area, this time with coins and the red base. From here, you can warp back to the blue base area.
Pros: Interesting.
Cons: Not all that well engineered, as defense is rather messed up. Oh, and there’s a dead end.
Rating: 2.0
REPLAY VALUE: Who knows? You might have some fun with this.
Pros: Possible entertainment value.
Cons: Likely lack of it.
Rating: 2.0
OVERALL (not an average): I can’t say I care too much for this level, and I’m beginning to wish I hadn’t started rewriting my reviews from the bottum up. It does have a few interesting parts, but it feels too much like a bad level, and that’s because that’s what it is.
Pros: Parts of design and placement, kind of original.
Cons: The background, other parts of design and placement.
