    LVL DESIGN AND EYECANDY AND…STUFF
    Lvl Design is ok, but nothing new. It all works but it gets boring after some time because the level is very linear. I also think the pack needs a story. Eyecandy, is also nothing really amazing but not bad. There are much layer 3 bugs. If you do a layer 3 hidden passage, then also put tiles around the part where you walk in. Don’t know how to tell this…
    M masked blocks
    UM unmasked blocks
    B blocks (doesn’t matter if masked or not)
    Layer 4:
    MMMMMMMMMM
    UMUMUMUMUM
    MMMMMMMMMM
    Layer 3:
    BBBBBBBBBB
    BBBBBBBBBB
    BBBBBBBBBB
    Get it? Sorry, I’m not a good explainer :-)
    Okay, let’s continue…There are two bosses, one in level 2 (Bubba) and one in level 3 (forgot his name). In level 2 as I wanted to fight Bubba, I lost my ammo at the start of the battle and had to kill him with my blaster (put ammo crates around like in level 3). Oh, I forgot, sometimes you have to search keys for doors (I’m not talking about trigger crates). This is well done.

    GAMEPLAY
    Gameplay is a bit boring sometimes, because there isn’t any story or something original (for example you could use one of the angels who gives you a mission or something). There is mostly enough ammo (except at the end of level 2). The enemies fit well into the place.

    AMMO AND OTHER WEAPONS STUFF
    Ammo placement is ok, but like mentioned before I missed some ammo at the end of level 2.

    BADDIES
    The baddies fit well into the place, but sometimes there are too much of them. Luckily I played with Lori (hehe) laughs and kicked all the skeletons in one rush :-p

    HURT EVENTS AND OTHER OBSTACLES
    On some places there are very fast moving platforms which you have to use. I mostly got really angry about them because I played 15 minutes until I got up :-)

    TILESETS
    The author used the Heaven tileset from Agama (one of the best tilesets ever —> Top 3 Tileset Charts). Well choosen.

    USE OF TILESETS
    The tileset use is also very well. There are some foreground bugs (like mentioned before) but that’s all. The rest is pretty good.

    CONCLUSION
    Overall ok level pack with a good tileset, (mostly) good ammo + enemy placement and okay Fun Factor. Hmm…I’m not sure about giving a download reccomendation or not… Decide on your own.

    NOTES
    KeEp MaKiNg LeVeLs :-)
    …and rate mine ;-D evil laugh

    I think I give you a 7.0
    Have fun

    @ R3ptile: Use Co-Op mode, foo :-P

    UPDATED VERSION
    Internal error. I don’t have tileset for “Holylandanfang” =(
    Sorry, I sadly have to pick one point for that.[This review has been edited by PHT]

    The First I Must tell you is that the skill level is to high from the begining on, like these platforms, with the Ravens Between them. Thats Really hard, and then in the 1st Level.
    But overall the Tileset was used godd and there are no tilebugs I noticed.
    But there are confusing Walls, wich you can run thru. Thats Confusing and you didn`t notice it fast. In The Total view of it i just say that it is Good but not to good. So it is between 6 and 7.:
    A 6.7 For you!

    Good levels. The combination of the goodies and baddies were fine!The difficulty was also good
    The bad points: The eye candy was poor and there were some tile bugs. You could increase the amount of the gems.
    So this pack deserves a 7.2
