    I don’t see how the base placement is that biased. I got 4.5 seconds going from blue to red and from red to blue.

    First of all, I beta tested this level a long time ago. You forgot to give me credit. ;-( I also remember Gummi coming to your server and was holding hands with you as Spaz, and I kept trying to sidekick you two. It was fun.

    Layout – Okay
    I don’t like it. ;( I just don’t. It’s confusing and all… it just doesn’t seem to do anything for me.

    Flow – Okay
    The flow is okay, too. I’ve seen better in your levels, especially The Junkyard. Some places particualarly annoy me, such as POS 44,9. When you are running at that clump of roots from the clump on the left, you end up running at a place that’s masked like this: > And that makes you just keep running in place, which looks buggy and is never good for flow. In POS 15, 39, when you run at that spring and then try to go to the right while you are going up from touching the spring, you hit the ceiling and then eventually fall into a pool of water. There are other places that bug me, too, but I won’t get into that. What matters is that I’ve seen better flow in your other levels.
    Ammo placement – Good / Very good
    Good ammo placement… nothing else to say about it. There is no seeker powerup, and I would’ve liked to see an RF powerup, but it’s good overall.
    Eyecandy – Very good
    As good as it gets with this set. The background is a nice variety of tiles put together in such a way that they make what looks like a cave (OMG REALLY IT LOOKS LIKE A CAVE!?) There are scattered leaves, etc. It’s nowhere near as good as in the Marshland of Evil, but then again, nothing can come close to that.
    Gameplay – Good / Very good
    Good gameplay… for a battle level. But, this is CTF =( I can all ways host it in battle, though. Despite the bad layout and bad flow, the gameplay isn’t as bad as you would think.
    Overall – Good / Very good
    Download – Yes.
    Host this often – If I do, it’ll be in battle.

    It’s an inside joke DX, because Blacky thinks anything under 8.0 is a really bad rating, which is wrong. ;P[This review has been edited by labratkid]

    Here’s yet another level I feared was going to be released on J2O.

    GAMEPLAY:

    BR said it was unbalanced. I said it was unbalanced. We both said it was unbalanced, so let’s just leave it at that. Other than that, the flow isn’t bad aside from a few poorly placed springs (like near 13,38 and 58,19), but I’m not fond of the level’s small size. I remember saying this for a few levels that other people made: it’s size could be suitable for duels, but I prefer slightly larger levels so I can have a little more space to move around and strategize. I also think players can score way too quickly in this level.

    EYE CANDY:

    Here’s another level where the eye candy is different from most Agama Swamp levels. It’s a nice change from the ordinary, but I don’t like it all that much. The eye candy isn’t much worse than usually or anything, but the background looks far too flat for my tastes. Yes, I know it fits the theme, but it still looks a bit dull in places.

    CARROT AND AMMO PLACEMENT:

    The full energy carrot is closer to the blue base. The bouncer powerup is closer to red base. The toaster powerup is also closer to red base. And the pepper spray powerup is closer to red base. That’s all I have to say about that since we all already know this level isn’t balanced. At least the ammo placement is decent.

    HOST THIS OFTEN?

    Blame Trafton indeed. Everytime you consider hosting this, you should blame Trafton severely. 7.2 only because a 7.0 felt a little too low.

    FYI, this level doesn’t loop to itself. Instead it loops to nothing. I feel like I’m the only one who notices these things.
