Wee, first review! :D
gets buried in rotten veggies
Ok, ok… Enough with the cliché, time for a review update:
———————————————————
Considering this is made in MS Paint (yes, the infamous program which a reputation of having made bright, limited colored sets), the colors are actually nicely done, which scores extra points in my book. Unfortunately, that’s all there is. The tileset itself is pretty basic, as mentioned in earlier reviews, with just ground, blocks, and some signs. No background, eye candy, nothing to increase the appeal of a level, aside from a bone in the ground, but that’s it: nothing. The example level only shows you how you can use the set and some facts about it.
On an interesting note, I’ve read the readme (as always, reviewers should make a habit of that, there is a point to making them. Heck, even the name of the zip file says you should read it) and it was all about how he got inspiration, how he loved 24… And it says he can draw well, he even drew mangas (Japanese comics for the unknowing). I believe that if he had the proper tools, he could become like Agama, but that’s just me :p
Verdict:
Back to the set. Overall, the rating is on a borderline, just because of the good colors in Paint (I’m a sucker for those, I know). The only thing I can do is suggest these things: get a free copy of Paint Shop Pro somewhere, it works much better than Paint. Secondly, take a good look at tilesets of others (I suggest Agama, Disguise and Blade), especially at the eye candy they put in. I can only give it a 5, because I’m nice :)

Update: Sonictth is well underway it seems, he added (color) animations and water blocks (normally animated) in this set (color animation mean that the colors in the animation keep switching hue or brightness, something Jazz 1 used a lot, because it’s easy to do :P). Tho the additions are not revolutionary, they’re ok (Remember, this is in MS Paint ;P) and Sonictth deserves points for trying. He also updated the example level with the new animations, a “Boulder Coaster” (one thing: Jazz has trouble running up slopes steeper than 45 degrees, keep that in mind), and some new music (Sweet Dreams by Elwood, I’m starting to look like Aiko! o.o).
Updated Verdict:
Pretty Ok, but misses some stuff (Like destructive blocks, and in a Jungle set, vines must be in it! What’s a Jungle without vines? :P). The new rating from me: 6 One more thing: work on your english as well as on your set ;)
