MISSING TILES: The author uses the Industrius tileset that comes with JJ2 as a base, which might not be the best idea. As it is, the author included the tiles in the original JJ2 conversion, but not many others, and we all (I hope) know how accurate the original JJ1 tilesets were.. anyway, I’m not going to bother listing all the missing tiles, but there are several, most notable the ceilling spikes, city type background, the background itself, and the thing for where sucker tubes meet.
Pros: Enough tiles for a good level, as the example shows.
Cons: Pretty much nothing from Industrius that wasn’t already there.
Rating: 6.2
ANIMATIONS: Ouch ouch ouch. Industrius the JJ1 planet had a lot of animations (though not more then Nippius, I do believe), and this tileset gets none of them. Indeed, the only animation in the tileset is a not-perfect quality rip of the flashing thing from Tubelectric and Labrat.
Pros: None.
Cons: Everything’s missing.
Rating: 2.0
COLORS: The colors seem pretty good, except for some transparency bugs and some of the windows. The author also included a pretty well done Night version.
Pros: The night version isn’t hideously garbled, for the most part the colors are good.
Cons: A few problems.
Rating: 7.5
ADDED TILES: The author has added a ripped animation from Tubelectric/Labrat, a working (!!) textured background, text and exit signs (from JJ2), */!/bouncy blocks (from JJ2), and some stuff I can’t figure out. (I still don’t know what they’re for…)
Pros: Some good stuff.
Cons: Not enough.
Rating: 7.2
MASKING: Masking’s not too good. Bumpy walls, automasked parts.. oh, and there’s a mask message in the textured background, by the way.
Pros: Few.
Cons: Things for the most part aren’t masked right.
Rating: 5.5
OVERALL (not an average): This is a decent JJ1 conversion with a background and stuff, but it misses so many tiles (in paticular the animations) that I can’t give it too much of a recommendation. If you liked Industrius, get JJ1: NeW’s Mayhem.
Pros: The night version is pretty well done, some nice added stuff.
Cons: Not very good masking, not enough original stuff.
