I really don’t understand why all reviewers are so fond about this pack. Actually, I didn’t like it at all.
The start of the first level looked nice, with a story like Another Story’s.
You know the wise, old saying “You never get a second chance to make a first impression”? My first impression was good, but the overall impression wasn’t. After moving left I saw a slope, so I walked down. Then suddenly I got warped by a warp I couldn’t see because it was hidden by a quite annoying and non-goodlooking layer 2 eyecandy thing (you know, “widescreen”). It appeared I “slipped off a branch”. How about warning the player earlier?
So now I knew I should keep walking on the trees. I advanced, eventually lost 4 hearts, and encountered some enemies. Three of them FELL BLOODILY, but then there were a few I couldn’t directly kill with my blaster, so I tried buttstomping them. I didn’t find any way to do it, which may be my fault, but I however don’t like 4 enemies on 2 tiles at all.
I completed the first level and went on to the second one. Yet again this ugly layer 2 eyecandy. And yet again I fell into a pit I couldn’t see at all. Well, I could see it, but there was no hint that there was another way out of the level, so I walked into it. Again one life less!
After that I saw a solid-looking slope, I jumped onto it and fell in the pit again. I got frustarted and typed jjnxt.
The third level was some cutscene level, with bad eyecandy. Next level!
Yay, more Swamps of the Sleeping Jaguar. In this level most of the time 60% of my screen got hogged by either the widescreen thingy or annoying trees on another foreground layer. Usually enemies were behind the trees so I constantly got attacked by ghosts I couldn’t have spotted at all. After that came some credits level which was rather boring.
It was hard indeed, but not because there ware hard puzzles or enemies: just because I constantly died or got hurt by something I couldn’t have destroyed or spotted. If you add the bad eyecandy to this, I think a 4.5 is enough. Maybe even a bit too high. 4.0 8D
EDIT: spelling etc.[This review has been edited by Fl@$h aka blewmeup]

Men, this pack was too hard, and because of that, a little boring also. Especially the 1 hit K.O. was really annoying that you cannot play the game because of dying! Also there weren’t so much eye candy, and enemy placement was not pretty good.
But that’s no problem, the tileset usage was good, and I liked the last level! The strange forest was really a good idea!
In my opinnion you mustn’t put 1 hit K.O’s and make a balance between the goodies and baddies in Part 2. You can start by putting some food, ammo, gems, 1ups and especially carrots in your levels! Because if you want to build really hard levels, you have to increase the amount of the carrots. That’s all from me, a 7.5 for the tilesets and music and for the level building of course;-)

I wanted really hard levels, so thats the reason why there are so very few carrots. Plus you can get them by killing enemies
FORGOT TO MENTION: THERE IS A SECRET LEVEL CONTAINING MANY TOASTER AMMO AND A 1UP Ok im done
Another thing: I didn’t copy blurs method of death. I already knew what to do, but blur semi told me how to implement it.[This review has been edited by Inf. Spaz]

PHT, you are not using the old brain. Don’t edit levels. Just host them from your home cooked list.
