Race Through the Knight Race, by Lark, requires version 1.23

  • Rating: 6.1

Description

This is the first level of a bigger race pack I’m working on. It uses the Castle 2 Eclipse tileset, which I included. The level is 256×25, but it takes a while to beat because there are places where you can fall and have to restart the level when you fall into. There is no background eyecandy, I know, and I don’t want there to be. Please don’t rate it on the background eye candy! I used all the background layers for other things, anyway. One put a transparent black tile through the whole level, making the textured background look really cool. Another was to fix up eyecandy where I needed to make it look like something went “behind” the sprite layer. The last layer was for a rain layer. So don’t take off for me not have putting in a background (I don’t know how to phrase that, and I sound like I’m not good at speaking English… ugh). Hope you enjoy this, it took me about 5 hours.

    Nice level, I would give a higher rating if this level was bigger though.
    It could be nicer with a little more challange.

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

    Labratkid makes a race level. Not exactly a popular avenue in the J2O downloads. Does it compete well with the small amount of others? or maybe even some of the more ru><0r ones hosted online? (Mainly by Violet and some foo races by Spoy) we’ll see…

    The gameplay, for a race level, is average and too easy, Not much varies here, which means it’s basicly the player ahead ALWAYS wins, unless he makes a mistake or something… there were some very small challenges that may help that situation like the poles but there’s a very, very easy way to avoid the springs. The infamous pole bug is existant here, which makes this levels rating crushed from 6.2 to 5.7.
    The fun factor is existant, but I wasn’t having a blast through this.

    The layout and design of this level is mostly poor and straight, and up and down… Blah, the layout as well as the design is basicly average compared to most race levels.

    The eyecandy is a bit below average, when I’ve played this online, I see a black BG, I’m not playing in low detail or have a monitor that bad. When I look at it in JCS I see just rain and the sky, that’s it, really. Eyecandy reigns the worst aspect here and the same goes for originality. The author asked not to have it rated so I won’t.

    Overall, I guess this is an ok race level, but the bugs kill the rating a bit.
