    Wow, I did wait for this tileset.
    C2 is a dead (take it seroius) good tileset, having 2 texture backgrounds, lots of eyecandy stuff, and some nice shadings on jazz.
    As usual, Craccoboy included some cool animated belts, lots of nice texture destrouct blocks, poles, you can’t need anything in it.
    There aren’t any ripped tiles except for the statues, thats great.
    Also, there’s some funny “lamp” bats, I like them.
    Download recommed.

    Hmmm…….The animationd in this tileset are nice, they take up a lot of tiles, but they are ok. Few important tiles are missing, such as some destruct scenery, just one type is boring, andthe tileset isnt very user freindly. There are a lot of dead-related tiles, no zombnies or ghosts though, only vampires, and the backround looks cool. I think this is one of craccoboy’s best tilesets and you should download it, especially if you like the UNDEAD >:D

    I have seen earlier versions of this tileset, and I can’t say that I loved their drawing style. However, with the official release version, I must say that the artwork has improved greatly. The tileset has a graveyard and cathedral theme. It features many Halloweenish tiles matched with some building and ground tiles so you can create a church (but a very evil and depressing one) surrounded by gravestones. Also included is a well-drawn and animated clock tower, some very spiffular sucker tubes (I have to say I liked the one in School v3 better though), numbers and letters in order to print out scary and disturbing messages, an opening and closing animated coffin for the Dracula on the Go, trees that look like they would fit well in Christopher Walken’s front yard, some very demonicly green and threatening hills, swirling background (possibly used for hypnosis?), statues, an organ-playing vampire (who knew wind-based instruments could be so scary?), and, of course, religiously-themed Halloween stuff. The general drawing style is asimilar to nearly everything CraccoBoy does. It is inspired by games like Final Fantasy but also has a pseudo-cartoony effect that makes it different than anyone else’s tileset. This is a very good example of this drawing style. Unfortunately, it seems that some tiles just do not fit. The statue tiles, for instance, look strongly as if they were not drawn by CraccoBoy, but that is forgivable, and is much more preferable to the blalant ripping in some of his earlier tilesets. Regardless of this, the tileset looked good in the demo level I created and was flexible in use. The mask, which has been an annoying problem in past CraccoBoy tilesets, is still imperfect, but has improved greatly. The timing for this tileset is not the greatest. After all, Halloween was almost a month ago, and the first thing you think of about Christmas or Thanksgiving probably isn’t demonic figures or similar Halloween-style tchotchkes that would fit well into a more seasonally appropriate level. However, if you think it will take you eleven months to make a level, by all means, this tileset will be perfect for you. In short, this tileset is definitely worth a download and is probably CraccoBoy’s best yet. I give it an 8.2 and a download recommendation. It may not be a good time to release it, but it certainally is a great tileset.

    Well, first off: great tileset!
    The theme is a cathedral or a church with a graveyard…. included are vampires and stuff like that. Theme is original, I’ve seen no tileset like this one, but the things in the tileset are cliche. Ahh… but I don’t care much.
    The texture on the normal ground tiles is very good and on the church tiles it’s also good, but a bit ermm.. repetitive.
    After hours and hours (ok, I’m exagerrating) of looking I found out that the white cirkels in the church are……….clocks!
    Next in the tileset are destr. blocks, they are (as usual with CB’s tilesets) just the official ones, this time in red with a little psp effect added to make them look…ehm….a bit distorted or something.
    Suckertubes are also there and looking nice. Also included are belts, they are pretty ugly IMO but it’s an extra so..
    Next is the (also mostly included in a CB tileset) alfabet and some numbers. And a snowman! Totally out of place, I guess it’s a sort of joke, because it’s a snowman from one of CB’s previous tilesets (can’t remember the name).
    Next is the coffin of the scary vampire….
    It’s animated and can go open and close. It’s looks a bit too straight IMHO, and how it lays on the ground is impossible because it.. well… look for yourself.
    Next up are some trees. GREAT quality but I couldnt find out how to use it without having weird ends….
    Then some background stuff and some eyecandy wich is o.k. quality.
    Then….: the great organ with the vampire playing behind it. Really cool if you ask me! Great drawn, used some psp textures (at least I think they psp) and stuff, but not really the standard “overused-and-everywhere-used” textures.
    Then there is some eyecandy stuff inluded smilie-bats :)
    Also included are two (ripped, at least not self drawn, probably photo’s) statues: a female ‘angel’ and a man with bat wings, so that’s probably a demon.
    Conclusion:
    Original theme.
    Nice drawing style.
    Nice to Great texture quality.
    Much eyecandy. (Yay to Jackass and CB!!)
    Much possibilities (You could make a grass landscape, with some grave yards here and there, or a church in the grass land, also you can make a curch from the inside, a scary forest is also possible, but last but certainly not least: you can combine it all to make a great, unboring level!)

    Good job CraccoBoy and Jackass!

    Nice drawing on most of the tiles.
    Cool background(layer 8).
    Some good eyecandy stuff.
    I don’t like the vampire who’s playing on that big instrument(forgot the name of it). You probably drew him when you almost finished, cuz he doesn’t look so good as most of the other tiles.

    So let’s just say: most of the tileset is good, though I don’t like it at all.

    A 7.5.

    No download recommandation.

    FUn but there’s lesser vampires than I thought. :( Anyway, the one playing on organs i cool. Music you choosed for one of example levels is good choice.

    The statues weren’t be me indeed. Jackass usually makes some of the eyecandy. He also did the organ, vampire, benches, altar and the church tiles, including the clock and windows(though I made the background church tiles). That’s why some of the tiles don’t look like my drawing style, that’s only in my solo drawn tilesets (Haggard, Island, Køøl and Party Casino).
