    Devans Revenge special: 13th Diamond

    The zip file consists of 2 files: The level and the readme. The readme doesn’t tell us a lot more than the author described above, but at least we get to know he made this level because it was his 50th download on J2O… Are you sure this is true? :-P

    The level makes use of the over-over-overused tileset Diamondus by Epic. I played for like 20 seconds and I found a dead end already, on (24,0). If you walk on one of those blue bridges (20,27) you notice some tile bugs at the spikes and that’s basically everywhere you placed spikes. Also, look careful what you do to the sides: (135,51) for example .Another thing is that you should use more springs. Lots of double jumps and uppercuts annoy ya.

    .. And another dead end! This time at (69,48). The text signs are good: they’re multilanguage, Dutch and English. Next time you put text strings in a level, make sure you place some @s in front of them, e.g. 3. Otherwise it occurs that the text stucks to the top of the screen, which makes it read pretty hard.

    The small puzzle was fun, but not too hard. The idea of a weather forecast (Strong Winds) was obviously stolen from The Secret Files’ Easter levels. Also, you spelled it wrong.

    Text String #3 tells us to find a crate, but to stomp this one you have to get up. This is basically impossible with either Lori or Jazz, since you need to use the double jump. Try to make your levels not Spaz, Jazz, Chuck or frog biased.

    Lunchroom Frogface was intended to be a nice idea, but it wasn’t that good. With all the enemies at the table, eating food you steal from them, a smoking caterpillar it’s not really a nice place to be.

    Whee! Frog fun. A witch comes out of the blue, turning you into a slimy frog. Jump over the turtles and other animals and let Eva kiss you.

    The level ends with an endboss.

    - CONS:
    Some minor tile bugs and places which are Spaz biased. Not too challenging.

    + PROS:
    OK Size, some good and inventive ideas. The level shows the author put some decent effort into it.

    Verdict
    An OK level with good ideas and could use some eyecandy. Not too challenging, but it’s fun.

    Rating
    A 7.0.

    I’m in 2nd episode now. I didn’t made it to rate standard levels, but it seems that this is the end of DRE. Maybe soon I’ll rate this little add-on…
