Ah…first download and first review. Can life be better?
Ok, yes it can, but that’s got nothing to do with this lvl has it? ;)
Ahem.
Deep in the Jungle is Saiyan’s second CTF lvl and to be honest, his first one was better, but only slightly.
The name isn’t very original, but the lvl is. Its structure is both open and tight making players need all the skills they have in order to run around in it as quickly as possible.The secrets are very cool and anyone that knows them by heart will have a big advantage over everyone else. The idea of putting bonus warps into a secret is also nice since it gives campers the opportunity to…surprise, surprise…camp.
The gameplay is really good since there are lots of float ups which stops ppl smashing into walls when they’re running at 250km/h (feels proud about coming up with the float-up idea). Whoever, there are a couple places which requires extended jumping but I guess it adds to the originality since it makes ppl more vulnerable. And as I said, the secrets are very nice to have and so are the well placed springs in the lvl.
The eyecandy is good, but has got nothing special. The secret bonus warp room serves both as a room and as eyecandy (you can only see the roofs of the houses from above). I would prefer to have some more leafes and trees in the foreground because there are so much solid tiles in the lvl and you could put a lot of eyecandy inside them. Apart from those things, there’s nothing original. A couple spikes, eyes in walls, trees, leafes and other jungle stuff.
The ammo placement is good and neat. There’s nothing more to say about it except from that sentence.
Overall, Deep in the Jungle is an excellent CTF lvl with funky music and is suitable for duels, 2 vs 2 and especially public servers. I look forward to playing this. Now the only thing that’s missing is a big WR sign inside the walls.
An 8.5.
Cheers,
White Rabbit.
EDIT: I got the longest review. :P[This review has been edited by White Rabbit]
Ok, i downloaded this lvl becuase White rabbits extremly loooooong review told me to. The ammo placement is ok, not to over crowded not to bare. There is a few power ups. I think seeker power ups are to strong, but its ok you put them in because both teams have a fair chance of reaching the powerups. Yuou used a selection of ammo, i think there is to little ammo in some places, but this is CTF, not battle. So probably most of the time the players wouldnt have time to gather up ammo unless its a private duel. So good marks for ammo placement.
The bases are placed ok, they are both at the top, both have suckers near them, and both have more than one direction to start off to. It is a good idea to net let the player just run to the side and appear at the opponents base so i like how you made the passages complex instead of straight so it would require skill to reach them.
You used the layers fairly well, especially layer 3. There is a lot of secrets, which he showed to us on the map which comes in the zip. I do agree it wont be fair to the people who dont know this levek and are dueling agianst people who do know this level, but it saves us the frustration of finding the secrets ourselves. Thanks :)
Most of the secrets though, just take you to somewhere else which you can reach by walking there, and most of them are hidden suckers cpvered by layer 3.
The gameplay would be fun, but I think its ment for private CTF duels. By this level I understand that u know how tu use the jungle tileset well. There are complex passage ways, some 2 tiles narrow and some 20. There are lots of logs and stuff, and fair eyecandy.
So I hope that you make good levels like this OR even better in the future.
Overall 8.3 and a download reccomendation
