I accuse you of stealing part of my name.
TILESET/TILESET USE: The two levels included use Jungle and Townhouse. So yes, the “Other tileset(custom)” thing is wrong. Both levels actually use the tilesets pretty well, though they suffer from a lack of anything new – there is no inventive tileset use to speak of, just the same old stuff. The Jungle level has some layer 5 stuff, it’s true, but I’ve not that much of a fan of that style. There are one or two tile bugs, especially in some of Jungle’s walls, but overall the tileset use is pretty good.
Pros: Most things fit together.
Cons: Nothing new, a few tile bugs.
Rating: 7.5
WEAPON/ITEM PLACEMENT: Everything generates way too fast. The ammo all seems to generate at a delay of 5 or so, and the fire shield in the Townhouse level (which is right out in the open) 10 at the most. The weapons are just a bit overdone, but the shield is unacceptable. Anyway, other then that, placement is ok.
Pros: It’s ok.
Cons: The fire shield. Ouch. -1.0 right there.
Rating: 6.2
ORIGINALITY: There is nothing much that is original about these levels. They have standard tileset use, and no real inventiveness in other factors, such as design.
Pros: N/A
Cons: N/A
Rating: 5.5
GAMEPLAY/DESIGN: The levels are basically small things with not too much that is inventive. I must say I like the Townhouse level more, as the Jungle basically has the design of a backwards C, complete with both deadends, one of which is against the left side of the level (ouch). The Townhouse level, on the other hand, is shaped more like O=’ . Basically, Townhouse has an ok design, and Jungle doesn’t. As for gameplay, in contrast, Jungle is better, because of the oh-so-obvious fire shield in the Townhouse level.
Pros: Decent.
Cons: The fire shield. Again. Also the dead ends.
Rating: 6.7
REPLAY VALUE/FUN FACTOR: These levels are mildly entertaining, and let’s face it, it’s not every day you come across a Townhouse level, with or without the fire shield. Still, the fact remains there are some gameplay quirks which could undermine the entertainment value.
Pros: N/A
Cons: N/A
Rating: 7.0
OVERALL: These are ok levels, but nothing too special, and they each have a few problems. The author shows some unreached promise.
Pros: Ok design, decent eyecandy, Townhouse is rare.
Cons: The fire shield, the dead ends.
