Eyecandy – Good / very good
This tileset is rather limiting, but people all ways seem to whip up original eyecandy in their levels with it. This one, for example, takes all most all the tiles and makes them translucent. The background is moved to layer 7, is made translucent, and there is a blocky background in layer 8. Very original and nice looking. In layer 6, there are just variations of blocks that make up a nice layer of (I forgot what I was going to put here). Layer 5 consists of some pipes, and other stuff. Layer 1 has pipes, also. They’re not overdone, and they look nice overall. Layer 3 has some occasional blocks in front of you to add to the eyecandy. Overall, a limiting tileset using seven out of eight of the layers is very impressive.
I’ve said all that good stuff, and I unfortunately bring you the bad news – just about everything is translucent and will therefore slow down some older computers. I’m not taking off any points, but I’m not guarenteeing some people, such as BlurredD won’t take off any. My computer seems to run just fine.
Pros: Nice eyecandy; uses most of the layers.
Cons: The translucency may cause some older bags of suck computers to run slower.
Gameplay – Good / very good
Very good. There is one big balancing issue… the warp that leads to the blaster powerup and one of the two 1up carrots is much, much closer to the blue base. I didn’t notice this when testing the level, unfortunately… argh. The level flows nicely, and there are some secrets. There isn’t any biasing… the sucker tubes’ speeds are set nicely, too. I’d like to point out that the sucker tube leading from the blue base to the left has to go slow for balancing purposes. Without it, you will be able to reach the carrot from the blue base in three seconds. The red base takes four seconds to get to the carrot, and Magoo had to slow down the sucker tube in order to make both bases be able to reach the carrot in approximately four seconds.
Pros: Good gameplay, nice flow, no biasing, etc.
Cons: The blue base has the warp to the carrot and blaster powerup much closer.
Ammo placement – Good
Let’s see… not bad at all. Magoo explains that for a level of it’s size, it doesn’t need any more than one powerup. I’d like to see more than one powerup… and if not that, maybe a different powerup besides the blaster one. Perhaps a seeker powerup and/or a bouncer one. I usually make bouncer powerups and seeker powerups priorities in my level. The blaster power up is far too close to the blue base, though, especially because it’s the only powerup. On top of that, there is a 1up carrot right next to the blaster powerup. The carrot in the middle that I was talking about earlier is placed nicely, though.
Pros: Good ammo placement overall.
Cons: The blaster powerup and one of the two 1up carrots is too close to the blue base.
Overall: Solid CTF level.
Download: Yes.
Host this often: Sure, but I don’t think I’d ever host it quite as much as Distopia, Moree Mines, and some of the other ones I’m addicted to.
