This is my first level made using the Colonius 1 tileset that you might have seen on my server. Don’t tell me about eyecandy errors, because I know about a lot of them, plus this is only a beta.

    I wonder what this level will be…
    Well, it seems that this is the level I landed on. Time for a review.

    The first thing I noticed was the backround, it was very dull and boring, could of been better. The layer 3 looked bad, you could see jazz in it and the eyecandy was below average. Tha author didnt know that all events of the far rught dont work, and it should be kept closed. Tile use was bad as well, sorry if I sound negative in the review. The layout bothered me as well. I cant say much more here, no download recc, sorry…..[This review has been edited by Blackraptor]

    I personally wonder how the author managed to host this, considering the filename, but oh well.
    This level reeks Beta. It consists of a few buildings, which you can move through through windows that are missing parts of them. There are a few sucker tubes which shoot you through one ways to get a bit of ammo, and on the far left there’s a sucker tube to a Bubble Shield. Note that while you have the Bubble Shield, all the layer 3 looks wrong. On the far right, there’s a longish flat area which just stops at a wall with no explanation. The background uses the few inside-of-house tiles Colonius supplies, but the feeling is kind of messed up by all the buildings in the level.
    On the plus side? A few nice sucker tubes, and at least one place with good layer 3. Yes, the author told us not to tell him about eyecandy errors, but I did anyway.

    DaPete01’s beta level strikes out…big time. A colonius level, Townload has poor eyecandy, with bad tile mismatches, and the use of layers only 4, 3 and 8. The stairs are done incorrectly, and a shield is easily accessed; a big no no. The rope is also done with hook events instead of vine events making it awkward to use. So, a 2.5 for you.[This review has been edited by Iam Canadian]

    Please note that the author got offended last time when I reviewed his level in a negative fashion. Nothing here is meant to offend you, it is meant to help you construct a better level. I do not mean to offend anyone with reviews, and I really hate it when people are offended. They are not at all intended to be offensive.

    This level screams “beta” in the worst way. Everything, from the eyecandy to the gameplay, feels and frankly is very much unfinished. It is evident that this level probably did not have a huge amount of effort put into it, and this translates badly. The first area consists of a group of sucker tubes which shoot you through a few one ways to some ammo. One of the sucker tubes instead shoots directly to a room with a bubble shield, which looks pretty bad. The bubble shield is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too easy to get and simply makes for bad gameplay. Simply put, most of the gameplay consists of rushing to get the water shield. The only way one can really die is by not being able to get the water shield for an extended period of time. This kind of gameplay isn’t acceptable. The rest of the level is much of the same. There are no interesting highlights to speak of. The eyecandy fares no better. Everything is ugly and tile errors (combined with a lot of incorrect tile use) is more common than correctly-used tiles. Simply put, this is not a good level at all. I am sorry, but I can not recommend this for download.

    + PROS: None to speak of.

    - CONS: Looks bad, plays bad, and has a way too easy to access water shield.

    VERDICT: My rating is a two and no download recommendation. This level just is not good. I am sorry, but if you want higher ratings, you need to spend much more time on your levels than this. Still, it shows some promise. Good luck with levelmaking and remember – quality, not quantity! :)

    EDIT: Unknown File, it is not the rating – it is the review. I tried to be as positive as possible. I am sorry if you were disappointed by the rating. You must understand it is not an attack on you. We all were bad when we first started. Please do not be angry. It is not an insult and I am very sorry that you were offended.

    BAD!

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

    I’m sorry, DaPete, but we only allow finished levels on our site. Betas are not allowed. And please try to be a little nice to the reviewers, they are giving you advice after all, for free.[This review has been edited by FQuist]
