There really aren’t too many decorations. The ones that are there seem hard to use It’s very small. On the plus side, it seems easy to use, and has poles, destructable scenery and vines. It also has spikes. After looking at the example level, I could see what could be done. The back layer seems buggy.
My inspirational thought for the day:
Don’t worry about it Bjani, my tilesets are about this quality too. The drawings are ok, just make more tiles next time.
To Violet: It’s a sun and a cloud, not just a “yellow thing” and a “white thing” (You could have at least said “fluffy white thing”)
I make all my tilesets with paint… Oh, point proven…
Hey, what else should you make it with?[This review has been edited by mikeejimbo]
THEME: Is there a theme? It’s hard to tell. It might be a desert, but it seems a little too dark to be a desert, and too many clouds.
GRAPHICS: The platform is a solid brown color. The background is a textured background which does not work in 16-bit. The background eyecandy are a yellow circle and a solid white thing. The only things in the entire tileset with any shading at all are the tiles taken from official Jj2 tilesets.
Pros: The sign looks almost kind of semi-nearly ok.
Cons: No shading, no texture, no quality. Textured background doesn’t work, wall signs are almost invisible.
Rating: 2.0
INVENTORY: H/V poles (ripped), various blocks (ripped), spikes, signs, vine.
Pros: Some things there.
Cons: Several things are ripped, no hooks, no variation.
Rating: 3.0
ORIGINALITY: Nothing to speak of.
Pros: N/A
Cons: N/A
Rating: 1.2
COMPETITION: Assuming you can find a theme to this thing, I think anything else with this theme will be better.
(No pros given)
(No cons given)
(No rating given)
EASE OF USE: On the plus side, it seems fairly easy to use, although the top corners of the platforms are done rather poorly, and seriously hamper level design. Also there is no evident bottom for platforms.
Pros: N/A
Cons: A few errors.
Rating: 3.0
MASKING: The masking is ok, but as you might expect, it needs some work on the jagged areas.
Pros: Ok.
Cons: Jags.
Rating: 3.0
OVERALL: I’d say this is a no. The author tried, but the result is not paticularly satisfactory.
Pros: There is worse stuff out there.
Cons: Graphics, originality, bugs…
Rating: 2.2

This is pitiful. It was made with paint, and the terrain is one shade of brown, and the tiles on the hills don’t go together.. it was a nice try, especially because it was made with paint (atleast I hope so, if it wasn’t, I’d be scared).

Don’t worry Bjarni. You’ll get it some day, you will see.

Argh. Argh. Argh.
This isn’t rocky roads. This is a bunch of brown ground, a sun and cloud, ripped poles, destruct blocks and BG, and, well, nothing else. There is no:
Water(Well, you can use the JJ2 water, but that’s not what I meant)
Mud
Bridges
Eye candy (no trees, no rocks, no nothing)
Possibly some more detail on the ground would be nice, too.
You should use a better program than MS paint. I’m sure a lot of people would be happy to reccomend them, while I myself reccomend Paint Shop Pro, if you can buy it.
Your right, Acld! It needs trees, goos and lot of things! Your right, Acld! It´s not like Rocky Roads!
