    I like this. It has all the necessary tiles, and is very versatile. It has a 3D type look to it and some funny animations. A generous 8 for you.

    I have always been a major fan of MidN’s work, especially her school tilesets which until recently I didn’t know she made.._

    Anyway, this tileset has tons of animations, great eyecandy, and all kinds of cool tiles for the eeevil school. ;) A previous version had more tiles, but you could only have 4 animations in it. It is still exceptionally good. 9 is my rating. Download it now, or you’re a major foo, or you’re just an idiot. ;p

    This is simply one of my favorite tilesets of all time. The drawings are less cartoony than previous tilesets by MidN, (aka Chimaera, and apparently “Username”) but still has an enjoyable cartoony theme. Despite this fact, the drawings still look very good. The sucker tubes are quite spiffy when animated, too. The original version of this tileset had more tiles but ran out of animations quickly. I’ve subracted 0.3 from the rating because of this, but it’s still an amazing tileset that is definitely worth a download. School is torture, but this tileset is great and hilarious to boot.[This review has been edited by Trafton AT][This review has been edited by Trafton AT]

    This is really not a bad tileset, lots to do, lots to create with.
    I’m a bit lazy on my review today, so dont expect much ;)
    The quality isnt bad at all overall, but the worst part are the characters, their animations and looks arent too lifelike.

    Then theres possible masking errors, they’re not smoth enough on places (expecially the characters) so people might get stuck in them.

    Thumbs up on a great set though :D

    Homeworks. School. Detention.

    Never before has such simple words caused such great fear. But now, you can put an end to it, at least, in a virtual world, by using the School v3 tileset by Midn (did I spell the name correctly?) to create your ideal school. :-)

    The tileset is much better than its predecessors, School v2 and v1 (although I must admit, I was more impressed by v1 than v3) and the tileset is exactly what its name says. It’s a school. :-) Quite a nice school too, with everything a modern torture house for youngsters have. Soda machines, desks, books, libraries, computers, angry teachers, black boards, students, bullies, dirty toilets, yucky food and various sports equipments.

    First, I was a bit put off by the bad masking of the teachers since you always tend to bump into them. Also, I dislike the masking of the yellow ropes and the book shelves. They slow you down too much and you’re never sure whether they are masked or not. This can lead to problems in multi-player lvls since ppl will get roasted if they accidentally bump into things.

    But enough of the bad news!

    Even though the occasional teacher or bookshelf gets into your way, it does not matter a single bit if you look at the rest of the tileset.

    School’s eyecandy is so detailed and comes in such a great variety that once I found myself stopping to admire the walls and got killed by a turtle. :-D I have never, ever seen such detailed eyecandy before and in fact, it’s so detailed my eyes hurt now. Evil looking eyes looks out from cracks in the walls, graffiti decorate the blackboards, uncountable school utilities and equipment fill the class rooms and I haven’t even mentioned the teachers and students yet. Ppl who thinks that their tileset has got good eyecandy should definitely take a long look at School.

    Ok, so there’s nothing wrong about the eyecandy. What about the tiles? Are everything a tileset needs there? Midn hasn’t forgotten anything. There are purple suckertubes (I’m a bit doubtful about the colour purple, but as long as the tubes work…), destruct blocks in form of books (a note: I didn’t destroy any English books ;-), vines, hooks and of course poles (sadly, not V-poles, I couldn’t find any).

    Because of the detailness and the masking, School is better suited for (gah!) hotels and single-player lvls because the player has more time and doesn’t need to watch out for opponents and thus ignoring the eyecandy.

    If you happen to not like the masking at all, download School for its eyecandy. If you don’t like the eyecandy and the masking, download anyway because I said so. :-P

    Great tileset, excellent eyecandy and very original. A little more work on the masking would earn this tileset a big, fat 9.

    Strong download recommendation.

    Cheers,

    White Rabbit.

    Err… not nice? So this tileset got good reviews from 6 (not counting me) top reviewers and j2o addicts, and it’s not nice?!?!?!?

    As for the review, I think you have heard enough of it from the other reviewers.[This review has been edited by RSPSS FR]

    Graphics are fine. I’m not going to mention graphics.
    Lots of tiles. Huge amount of sucker tubes, not to mention vines, hooks, H-poles, no spikes, no text signs (though there are plenty of things to use as spikes), no exit signs, not quite working ladders, basic blocks, eyecandy, etc.
    Masking’s pretty bad.
    Usability decent, even though for all the backgrounds you have to use layer 5. 6 and 7, after all, are taken by background apartment buildings.
    Most of the tiles can be found in schoolv2, this is really giving everything a 3D look, with mixed results. Makes things look better, but it does make the tileset harder to use then it is already. The tile placement’s fine, though.
    The author went a little overboard on gradients, some textures on the characters instead of gradients might have been nice. Ok, so I did mention graphics.
    Despite how cool this is, I can’t honestly say I really like it. It’s mostly made well, it has lots of tiles, but still I don’t like it. Can’t put my finger on why.

    Cool tileset with a good 3D look to it. Its much better then the one you always host with. The characters look better then the old one and it has most of the nesesary tiles you need to make a level.
    The example levels good with a funny plot. I give you a very high rating of 9.7 (almost ten!!!!) for great work!
