Tileset, by 
Ok, 2 have reviewed the set , now it’s my turn. It will be a thorough review, pointing out details missed so badly by others.
And it starts off well: the first ones didn’t see it’s TSF only A reviewer should both have 1.23 and TSF.. rant rant rant (I should start making an article ;p)
Basic Stuff:
Let’s see… ground blocks are there, two kinds: snowy and normal blocks. There’s background for layer 8 in the form of solid blue sky with yellow stars. I don’t see any wall tiles. The necessary stuff is there, but a good tileset needs a lot more.
Event tiles:
A tileset without extras like vines or poles makes a dull level. Fortunately this set isn’t without extras: I see vines, a sign and a destructible block: a weapon block for the bubble blaster. That’s all :s
Eye candy:
This set has eye candy too, but’s just as rare as the event blocks. I see some rocks, presents, some grass, smal tree and even a snow man. There’s background eye candy too: a mountain top, but a bit lonesome and on the short side. And there’s something that looks like a cloud? It’s light blueish shade, an unlikely color for clouds. I would have preferred white. Water’s there too, but it may give the impression you’re not really in it. And let’s not forget the animation for layer 8… Yep, I’m done :P
Colors:
I can only guess this tileset is either made in Paint (if so, get a better program, like Paint Shop), or the author is a beginner. Either way, the colors are all solid, no gradient whatsoever (different shades of the same color put next to each other, looks very good). The colors are at a rather dark shade (is it my monitor?), they could use a little more lighting.
Masks:
The author already knows the main principle on masking: the snowman, presents and smal trees are removed from the mask, among some background tiles, and that’s all he did. The masks aren’t smoothened out where necessary, or adapted. Which brings me to the vine mentioned earlier. Vines do not work properly unless the mask has a certain shape. Result? a vine that doesn’t work.
Verdict:
Nice first try, but seriously: this tileset could use a lot of improving. The set itself is smal, doesn’t have enough extras to make it appealing to use, and it’s TSF only. I’m sorry, no recommendation from me. If I were you, Stud, I suggest looking at the site about creating tilesets by Disguise. A 4 from me.
