MISSING TILES: Sadly, this tileset misses quite a few tiles, most notable being more tiles on top of Tubelectric’s various backgrounds. If you look at the example level, you’ll notice that the author had to use layer 5 several times. Also some of the tiles for the golden animation stuff.
Pros: Most tiles are there, more then ever before.
Cons: Not all, and needing layer 5 is always a downside.
Rating: 7.0
ANIMATIONS: Tubelectric was a very animated place, and as far as I can see, the animations are all here.
Pros: Most everything is here.
Cons: One or two missing, such as the slope tiles for the golden stuff.
Rating: 8.2
COLORS: Everything looks great, any color loss is not noticed.
Pros: Everything’s there.
Cons: None.
Rating: 8.7
ADDED TILES: Ouch. This is the tileset’s main failing place – there are practically no added tiles at all. No textured background, poles, vines, belts (I can see Belts in Tubelectric, can’t you?), or even tiles to expand the possibilities of things that already exist, like stuff for the big glowing stuff from Tubelectric and Labrat. If you make a level with this tileset, it’ll be have to be rather JJ1 style – although you can’t use the shooters very well, as the author neglected to include an animation for them firing their fire things.
Pros: Many more tiles then in the tileset’s last incarnation.
Cons: Missing almost anything new.
Rating: 5.5
OVERALL (not an average): This is a very good JJ1 conversion with great colors and animations, except that it’s missing a few tiles and has nothing new to work with. The tileset name is the same as the previous version (thankfully the filename isn’t), but I’m willing to forgive this.
Pros: Everything looks great and very faithful (as you can see in the example level.. pity the author didn’t do the second one or he’d have found some new tiles).
Cons: Too many missing things.
Rating: 7.7
Oh.. forgot Masking. Anyway, it’s just fine, except for a few bumpy parts on the huge glowing things, and one of the platforms. Also the masking for the shooters, considering how they’re used, could be better. However, I have decided not to have this affect my rating of 7.5. Good work overall Newspaz, but it could have used more beta testing.
