Ok, this surprised me.. first levels, are a rule, bad. This level has bad eyecandy, but the level itself’s pretty good – except for the incredible overdose of pickups.. you’ll get more sugar rushs here then in “Backstreet Rabbits” or whatever by Blade.
Basically, this is a medium large length single player level, using a fully masked (I guess) version of Deckstar. I’m guessing it’s TSF, but I could be wrong (having played Norbii’s stuff before, it has always been TSF, so I just played it in that).
If you can look past the eyecandy, you could have some fun in this level. Remember to check the walls for secrets.

This is, in fact, a 1.24 level. Please change the label.
First levels are, as Violet said, generally not the best of levels. It’s a good time for experimentation and to learn how to use JCS, but rarely do you see a really good level come out of it. This was a surprise, though it is nothing ultra-amazing. A fairly simple single player level, Toxic Evil (toxic evil.j2l) has some very interesting aspects. Still, there are a few common mistakes in first levels that are here in abundance. I like how Violet calls the overuse of pickups “pickup overdose.” It fits perfectly. There is no need for this extreme amount of pickups, notably food, and causes players to get sugar rushes constantly. It’s a fairly long level compared to many, and uses the fully masked (I believe) version of the fairly good tileset “Deckstar.” There are a lot of secrets contained within the level, and it’s good to remain alert for subtle clues to where the secrets are. Gameplay is definitely the best part of the level. When you look at eyecandy, you start to notice some problems. There are quite a few small to moderate tile errors that could have been fixed if more time and energy was put in the level. Still, it looks OK, but the gameplay is much better than the eyecandy. For a first level, this is pretty good and I recommend you keep working on levels. Still, with the “overdose” of pickups and the not-so-good eyecandy, there is some work to be done here before the level is ready for prime time.
+ PROS: Pretty good gameplay, very good for a first level.
- CONS: Bad eyecandy, and a completely overboard amount of pickups, especially food.
VERDICT: A 6.5 and a download recommendation for those who enjoy seeing good first works. All in all, this level falls into the “above average” category but isn’t exactly up to the “good” mark. Still, it’s surprisingly well-done for a first work. Keep on working on levels, but make sure to spend more time on them, especially on the eyecandy parts. Also, you don’t need as many pickups as this level has. Still, this looks promising. Good job.

Ok, everything is good except the background and all thise Bees! A single player level should not have that many monsters because you want people to come back and continue there game but if they can’t Get past the baddies they tend to quit! And there should be more to this “Single player” level. Like a series of them a pack if you will. Well try harder on the things i picked at and sonn the level ratings will be 9’s and possible 10’s!
Good Job anyhoo!
