    1.23 levels does both work in 1.23 and TSF. Don’t worry about that.
    Anyway, you didn’t made the tileset, or the music, which makes this to an erm.. single player level. Not mutiple. Unless you count the ZIP as a part of the pack.
    This is a very ugly level, the layers isen’t right used and I feel out.
    Your only goal is to go get the weapons, where there’s a few useless text events. You can basicly do “nothing”.
    Download not recommed.

    When a level author claims their level “may work in TSF,” it is pretty much guaranteed that the level will be nothing special. This level is not an exception. The level is something that could be made in five minutes even with very limited Jazz Creation Station knowledge. The level is very small, and consists mainly of a flat surface with some ammo and a path that leads up to a small empty room with a warp at the end. Seemingly randomly-placed background items add to the confusion of trying to figure out what is solid and what is not. However, the more confusing question would be why anyone would bother playing this horrible level. The labeling as a single player level is almost more confusing. The level contains no enemies, nor does it contain an ending position. The so-called multiplayer add-on area is simply a small area protected from the rest of the level by a wall that contains a multiplayer level start and warps into the single player area (if it really is a single player area.) Not only that, but the multiplayer start sits right next to a wall. In other words, this level is impossible to host in multiplayer, and isn’t a single player level at all. Can we even call this a level? This level features no redeeming qualities. Flow is terrible, and so is everything else. The randomly placed waterfalls are almost ugly, even though I never thought it was possible to make the JJ1: Diamondous waterfalls ugly. Regardless, this level is bad with a capital B. No download recommendation at all and the low, low score of one point two. It would be a good idea to try to spend more than five minutes on levels. They often turn out to be much, much better that way.

    Oh, yes, and lest I forget: these files unzip to a subdirectory. It always takes me a few mintues to realize what happened when a level does this, and I really, really, really dislike it. The level wasn’t even worth the five minutes it took to find the file or the ten minutes it took the write the review. Then again, this level wasn’t even worth the five seconds it took to download it. Beware of this level. Avoid at all costs.

    EDIT: First level or not, this is a bad level. Spend more times on your levels, or you will continue to get grades like this. The truth is most first levels are bad because the authors assume they can slap together something bad and get a high rating. This isn’t true. Even if this was your first level, it is really bad. Spend more time on your levels. If your first level is under a rating of four or so, either you are a really, really bad levelmaker in the current state or you didn’t spend enough time on your levels and didn’t put much effort into them. There are very few cases where someone is truly that bad, so it is probably the later for you.

    BR>Spazy: This isn’t the tileset you are rating. This is the level.[This review has been edited by Trafton AT]

    Foolish boy! FIRST LEVELS DO NOT COUNT. That was my mistake. ¬_¬ So. I don’t like it. Really bad. Bad layers. Nothing. Empty. Etc. [This review has been edited by Red_XIII]

    This is a short review. It has less impact on the upload's score.
