    5.7

    Well, I’ll have to admit that the Evil Forest was much better, but this is still a good level.

    Eyecandy: 4/10 Could’ve been much better, especially in the foreground layers, and some edges.

    Enemy placement: 5/10 There were hardly any enemies! When people reviewed the Evil Forest and said there were too many, they didn’t mean to get rid of all most all enemies… The enemies that were there were placed well, though.

    Ammo placement: 8/10 Couldn’t have been too much better (or worse) since this is such a small level.

    Bugs: 6/10 Well, unless you downloaded Fanden’s level pack, your game will crash. Also, some of the warps are hard to find; some of them you have to guess that one will be there.

    Fun: 6/10 Pretty fun to play, actually. The endboss was quite boring because it was a very small rectangular arena.

    Total is 5.8, but I can’t do 5.8, so 5.7.

    I like how you’re saying that you don’t know of any bugs and you want to change that.
    STORY: From attempting to read the end text (which needs some @ symbols), I’m guessing the story is as follows; Bubba has a playground with diamonds but you don’t like him having diamonds so you kill him.
    Pros/Cons: There are some times when Pros and Cons are completely useless. Let’s just say I don’t care about the story and leave it at that.
    Rating: N/A

    TILESET/TILESET USE: The author uses, as I’m sure you know, the Dam Nation tileset. Layer 4 is used pretty well, with no apparent tile bugs (other then a few masking troubles), but I can not say the same for the other layers. There are some boney skeleton things hovering strangely in the foreground, and transparent lava doesn’t look right in the background. There is little that is inventive or interesting to speak of here.
    Pros: Layers 4 and 8 fit together.
    Cons: Poor other layers, nothing interesting, the bridges look weird.

    WEAPON/ITEM/ENEMY PLACEMENT: I suppose this was ok. Nothing bad stuck in mind, but nothing good did either.
    Pros: N/A
    Cons: N/A
    Rating: 5.0

    ORIGINALITY: Well, there are giant red gems in the walls around the playground.
    Pros: Some originality.
    Cons: Not much.
    Rating: 3.2

    DIFFICULTY: This level is rather easy, to tell the truth. What with the blaster powerup and the lack of any serious threat from enemies or the level, Bubba is the hardest part and he’s not dangerous at all.
    Pros: N/A
    Cons: N/A
    Rating: 4.0

    REPLAY VALUE/FUN FACTOR: This level is kind of fun to play, but I find it unlikely that I would play it again unless I come across it while randomly selecting levels while bored. It is just not paticularly interesting.
    Pros: Not bad to play.
    Cons: Not paticularly interesting.
    Rating: 4.0

    OVERALL (not an average): This level is.. ok. However, it suffers from worse-then-average eyecandy and nothing interesting to speak of.
    Pros: Some good,
    Cons: some bad. Eyecandy needs work.

    Superjazz reviews. Important: No originality anymore. That’s weird thing and can’t be rated. And music choice away too.

    DESIGN
    Quite good. But could have a little more action.
    7/10

    EYECANDY
    This is otherwise good but the foreground layer is badly placed. That looks poor.
    6/10

    GAMEPLAY
    You said that this is big sp level. In fact this is not. This is quite short.
    And not fun. Level is completed in 5 minutes or hardly even that.
    3/10

    DIFFICULTY
    Way too easy because so short level.
    5/10

    INCLUDING
    Well, this hasn’t very many files but you named the readme as same as level. Good!
    7/10

    PICKUP AND ENEMY PLACEMENT
    Enemies are this time placed well, but a little lesser of items.
    7/10

    + or – extra points.
    +1 Good endboss in the level.
    +1 Ok readme file

    Overall: 6.1666667 Level rank: Averagelevel
    Download recommendation: No need. Level is way too short. Waste of time.

    Overall comments: So average level again. Put more time to your levels, so it looks a big level. But the level size is not the only way. You can also make more than one level, so then it doesn’t need to be so big. So, otherwise ok, but level size, remember!

    Superjazz was here.

    A medium-size level, as said before.
    The eyecandy is on layer 4, close to good, only I found some bugs on the foreground layer. That bone thingy is just floating in the sky with no underground under it, and that’s ugly. The gameplay, well I enyoyd it, but there are only strait parts, there’s no action in. There are almost no secrets in it, yeah 1 or 2, and there easy to find: 1 Blaster Power-up and some else thing, I cant remember. Enough placement, candy and weapons. The level was quit easy. The ideas are okay, Bubba has stole diamondus. A good idea to put with Bubba some Super Gems for eyecandy. When you defeat Bubbe he sais:,, No, this is my playground!” Funny, but in overall the level is a bit to small, though. Download not reccomend.

    this is really easy and short.

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