Finally Dx made a new level. I’m happy that his PC works now, because he is one of the guys who review my levels
;->
Allthough this is a single level with Snooz’ new tileset. It’s in space and has no story, but anyways it’s fun to play. Seems that all of Dx’ levels contain that CTF dying thingy.
Well, here’s my review:
GAMEPLAY/DESIGN:
The gameplay was a bit better than in Dx’ last levels, it has some original ideas and, finally, food and ammo.
The level was all around good designed, only a bit short. Also there is a totally new boss. It acts like a bolly, but is all around a really cool.
PROS: NEW BOSS, good food and ammo plcmnt
CONS: short, weird enemy placement sometimes (dogs in space?)
RATING: 7.0
TILESET/TILESET USE:
The tileset Dx’ used was like mentioned before the new one from Snooz. It’s a good tileset I think, allthough the background is a bit irritating.
DX USE MORE THAN LAYERS 3, 4, 5 AND 8!!
The eyecandy wasn’t really great, but ok. I saw no tilebugs and all in all it’s akceptable (hope I spelled this word right)
PROS: no tilebugs, cool tileset
CONS: no use of layers 1, 2, 6 and 7, not really amazing eyecandy
RATING: 6.0
WEAPON/ITEM/ENEMY PLACEMENT:
The weapon placement was good, alltough the RF’s aren’t really usable. Also this time the item placement was good.
A bit weard was the enemy placement.
What are dogs doing in space???
Also at the suckertubes you get “sucked” into enemies, that isn’t good. The boss was great, I think I know how Dx made this, but I won’t tell it to you ;p
PROS: great boss, good item placement
CONS: weird enemy placement
RATING: 8.0
REPLAY/FUN FACTOR/ORIGINALITY:
The replay value is ok, I think. It mostly consists of the boss, that is really cool. Also the fun factor was ok, allthough the part with the CTF pits, where a bit hard and not so much fun. The originality gets a bit boost because of the boss and also the maze was new.
RATING: 6.0
OVERALL (not an average):
Overall this is an ok level, allthough it’s a bit short and the enemy placement/eyecandy isn’t very good.
I’m looking forward to ya pack DX. In ya new temple episode make longer levels than this.
PROS: COOL BOSS, good food/ammo placement
CONS: short, not really great eyecandy/enemie placement
