Alrighty, I’ll just do a medium size basic review.
At first glance the tileset seemed a bit monotonous, not having a large color variety. As I scrolled down the beautiful texturedness and the nicely drawn mountains and bg made me think better of this set. There are a bunch of strange black and white polkadotted tiles, some more black and white tiles, a ladder thing, some vines and poles, more vines, some weird purple and blue animating things, whole bunch of arrows, a bunch of what looks like destruct blocks, more black and white polkadotted blocks, letters and numbers, belts (=DDDDD), chess peices, some large metal pipe thing, backround stuff, and the two rux looking backrounds.
The tileset seems fairy easy to use, I question the importance or placement of some tiles in the set, but the set shouldn’t take that long to learn. It would help if there was an example level, though.
One of the main dissapointments of the tileset is the lack for a large color variety. The only colors in the set are black, white, grey, and a bit of blue and purple. The color might not seem that repetetive when you look at the set, but if you compare it with sets like Spacey Universe, then the lack of color is noticable.
The masking for the tileset is alright for the most part, except the masking of some tiles just confuse me (the black and white polkadotted tiles right above the alphabet).
Overall: It’s generally an alright set. I’d probably use it a few times sooner or later, but it’s not as outstanding as some other sets. Still, it’s definately above average, and definately worth a download.
Summarization:
Tiles included: ground, wall, backround stuff, spikes, vines, poles, belts, animations (but not that much), arrows, alphabet + numbers, signs, large variety of destruct blocks, some sucker tubes (hard to spot them until you check the masking of the tileset), tunnel things, invisible tiles, chess peices, etc etc. Basically n0b0dy put the main tiles in the set, and even went a bit further by making a staircase thing and adding belts. Putting the effort into doing more than you have to = better rating.
Tiles Included: 9.3
Masking: Though at first the masking of some tiles confused me, most of it made sense afterward. Generally good masking, and has mask messages. Whee argh.
Masking: 8.2
Color: This is what brings down the mark a bit. Color variety is very limited, there only being b&w shades, and purple and blue. At least there is purple and blue, and the color could of been worse. Plus the texturedness of the mountains and stuff brings the mark up a bit.
Color: 7.1
User friendliness: Most of it is easy to use, and the rest won’t take too long to understand.
Userfriendliness: 8.4
Animations: There are belts, glowing light things, and thats mostly all. You could be creative and make your own, since if you look at the tileset, many things in it could be animated that probably arent meant to. I’ll leave this section blank though, since the rating for it varies.
Overall (not an average): It’s a spiffy tileset. Lacks some things but exceeds in others. I’d use it once in a while, and its worth a download.
Overall (not an average): 8.2
Final rating: 8.24 = 8.2.
