Dx, please, do something about your style of rating, it doesn’t make any sense!
First impressions:
WOW! At first sight, this looks like it deserves an 8, at least. Not too big and not too smal. Lets see, what else is there… nothing else I can think of :p
Lay-out:
Somehow the layout reminds of me of the levels made by Disguise in the J2C era. Loose platforms, some corridors and a lot of slopes stylize this level. And most importantly: no dead ends, you can just run in circles if you want, which scores points in my book. The level is compact, but could have been a bit bigger. On a side note, the level is probably a lot bigger than you may think, since the screen doesn’t stop scrolling at the edges (Note: you can change the size of a layer in the layer proporties). Good job on the layout.
Tileset use and eye candy:
Let me tell you this: this level has the best eye candy I’ve seen in a long while. No big boring looking platforms here: they’re hollowed out and filled with smal empty spaces and trees. The giant leaves help decorating the level. The walls in layer are nicely done, with holes adding variaty. Great job on the eye candy. There are some tile bugs, but they’re neglectible.
Ammo, candy, stuff that’s good:
The level is lacking somewhat in that department. Yes, there’s ammo, only smal clusters of the same but not that far apart. Yes it’s a smal level, so I’ll be gentle with the rating. Two powerups inhabit the top corners of the level: a bouncer and seeker powerup. A Full Health Carrot is right in the middle of the level. No coin warps however, but they’re not mandatory. Overall, he kept the specials within the recommended boundries.
Miscellaneous Stuff:
This level uses a cuatom music file “Bao.xm”. It adds a tropical feeling to the level, but there are better mods to choose from. The next level setting is set to itself, as the rule goes.
Verdict:
A great level for smal but fun battles. I’d advise to play this level with no more than 4 to 6 people, since it’s so smal. With a bit more ammo, it would be excellent, but the eye candy makes up for that. Download recommended for those who want smal battle parties :)
