The author says that he made it in a day and not to expect anything cool. However, I wasn’t expecting anything like this!
EYECANDY
The BG is OK but this was taken from the original Castle levels. The eyecandy in Layer 4 is just bad. Improper use of tiles, most of them don’t join together. As you progress through the level there is a MASSIVE area of RANDOMLY placed tiles with “Under Construction” signs there too. The Knights and Candles at the bottom of the level are interesting but they move a bit too fast.
2/10
GAMEPLAY
Not very good at all. The tons of enemies in the level make it really hard but that is not good. Very little Checkpoints can be found here, so if you die it’s back to the BEGINNING. It’s not impossible to complete, just that it got far too hard and I resorted to using JJRUSH & JJINV a lot.
1/10
ENEMY & OBSTACLE PLACEMENT
As I said before there are tons of enemies here. I saw about 1000+ Floating Lizards, 250+ Fencers, 150+ Ghosts, 5 Bees and 2 Schwartzenguards. Seriously, there is that many enemies.
No Trigger, Destruct or Buttstomp Scenery, so nothing much to say about obstacles.
1/10
ITEM & WEAPON PLACEMENT
At the start, I see 10 Coins which have no use whatsoever, there wasn’t any Bonus Warps. As I progress through the level, I see about 25 RF, and 10 Electro Blaster PUs. There were not enough Carrots in this level. No Food or Gems at all, but as there are TONS of enemies, you could get items from them.
2/10
DIFFICULTY – EASY/MEDIUM/HARD
As I have about a 90% or more chance of dying I would say this is hard.
TOTAL SCORE: 6/40 (1.5)
DR = No
RANK: U = Bad

EYECANDY: Bad, look the background is okay but layer 4 is just unfinisht.
ENEMIES: Far too much. Millions of enemies like Floating Lizards, Fat Chiks, Rapiers and, most of all Fencers. At the end of the level you must battle 4 or 5 end bosses with many lizards.
GAMPLAY: As I said it’s far too difficult. I have just used codes, in other words, without codes this level will be imposseble.
ITEMS: Too less carrots, too less savepoints and too less candy. There are too many weapon power-ups. In the end of the level I had about 250 weapon 5 ammo, about 150 of weapon 9 ammo.(With the code I hadd 99 of everything, so you can count how many I have picked up.)
EASY, MEDIUM OR DIFFICULT?: Well this level is sure not easy, and also not medium and it even can’t come close to difficult. Let’s say…impossble.
+ Points: Well, I liket all that knights at one line, and that WORK CONSTRUCTION bords. And you can float very long with that float thingy that floating lizards left behind. That is funny.
- Points: As I say the level is too difficult, you can read all the – points above.
OVERALL:
EYECANY: 1/10
ENEMIES: 0/10
GAMEPLAY: 0.5/10
ITEMS: 1/10
IMPOSSBLE: 0/10
+ Points: 1/10
So thats makes an 3.5. Now I have one comment: Norbii say this level is make in one day. Next time, put more time in your level for a higher rating, all that other levels of your where kind of fun. :)

I suppose I shall follow spazz’s example.
EYECANDY: Bad. The background looks ok, being taken directly from the original Castle levels, but the layer 4 is bad. The author makes fun of it, in fact, in a large “Under construction” area apparently created by placing tons of random tiles.
ENEMIES: A lot of float lizards, Xmas float lizards, Xmas turtles, fencers, ghosts and fat chicks. Yes, there are a lot of them, but the level’s not very hard, and in no way does spazz’s “without codes this would be impossible” apply.
GAMPLAY: Not very good. Most of the level is spent fighting the enemies (which isn’t too hard), but try to spend some time looking for the path, as it’s quite hard to find. I kept ending up at the bottom of the level.
ITEMS: Other then a lot of RF powerups, and a full energy at the (easy) boss, just about nothing. Of course, items are hardly necessary – the enemies will give you all you need.
EASY, MEDIUM OR DIFFICULT? Medium.
