This level would be cool if it will be very first level for very first platform game ever. Unfortunately, it isn’t. It is a crap ripoff. If you are good in avoiding, you can do it for Devan in 26.2 sec., and then, show your 1337 skillz and defeat him in a crap arena where you really will need a carrot. If you are lucky enough, you’ll find a “secret” stash with ammo and then finish these skeletons off. Don’t you think that the seekers AREN’T needed? Anyway, placement of other stuff is also crap. Lots of skeletons, scarce ammo and then lots of Full NRGs in Devan area. Eyecandy also sucks, but at least you used a bit of layer 3. Oh well. Overall, this level is nothing but 0 with all of this not-so-c00l stuff. I feel so honest, causing a 10 rating fall to… lower. Kekekeke.

Rate your own level again and say goodbey to this place.

NEVER RATE YOUR OWN LEVELS!!!
Not too bad, well apart from all of the disadvanages!!!!!:
1) Teribble Weapon Placement
2) Extremly short level
3) Bad Eyecandy
4) No gems or food
5) You can run away from devan’s battle
6) Too small for a boss arena!
7) Too many carrots
8) No animations
9) No level name, no next level, no music!
10) No different difficulties!
11) I don’t want to go on.
But heres a tip, make the levels longer, place pickups better, make a bit harder, well i’m not goin on, i give this a 2, though it doesnt deserve it.
My overall Rating: -1
+3 for my generosity!
Total: 2. =P[This review has been edited by sabaspaz]

Let’s do tha review.

DESIGN
For fun? Nothing, the level is just some trash and why did you really want to put those skeletons and Devan Devil-boss into the level?
1/10

EYECANDY
You linked some tiles quite well even this tileset is quite complicated, but other layers than 4, 3, 5 and 8 aren’t used at all. Background is textured and made correctly but it should be faded with some other color or filled with stars. Some layout also looks a bit too simple or boring and you had problems with layers 5 and 3.
3/10

ORIGINALITY
Uhm, I think this is quite poor also because the level has the name: “Untitled”, it has no next level-setting neither music so this isn’t quite kind of original, you know. Tileset is Pyro’s edited Haunted-tileset but anyways the level is your made.
4/10

GAMEPLAY
What can I say, this is quite poor level. You still had a lot of space in your level which could all have been used and level is very easy, even the devan boss because you put there so many full-energies. The level is really short and there are lotsa dead ends. And there’s only one level.
2/10

STUFF PLACEMENT
Aaarghh! This is kinda bad. There were empty areas where weren’t pickups at all and then, a flock of seekers and the most is useless, this was a bit better with other guns. But you overused these seekers and you shouldn’t have put that amount of full-energies into the boss-arena. There ain’t no gems neither food also. There’s only skeletons which is quite boring to just shoot them as they walk there and walk here. Not that they were bad idea but there could have been different idea. Well this causes the filename of the level but it doesn’t affect in the design anyways, sorry.
3/10

+ OR – EXTRA POINTS

-1 A readme, but there ain’t enough text or properful information, etc.
-1 No difficulty-settings
-1 Lots of useless files in the pack

OVERALL: 10:5=2
LEVEL RANK: Very bad level
DOWNLOAD RECOMMENDATION: No thanx!

ENDING COMMENTS
Seems that you’re new to J2O and you didn’t read the rules properly, but seems also that you haven’t used JCS very often as there were lots of bugs in the level and I even expect that you didn’t test the level before upload. You forgot to name the level, you forgot to choose the music into the level, you forgot to set the next level-setting which could have been a loop to the same level itself or a shortcut to the menu. At least this wasn’t overrated. No worry, you will learn to use JCS and J2O properly later then. :)

@Cooba…
Response from someone whose not an admin but is going to act like one for lack of anything better to do: As you might know, you get three warnings on J2O before being banned. You get one warning if you rate your own level. However, Violet doesn’t give out warnings. Only Trafton seems to. So Olsen can rate his or her own level four more times before waving farewell (he or she will be banned on the fourth time; more than likely temporarily. Very few users have been permenantly banned. The user who was permenantly banned most recently, to my knowledge, was Nick DC). I still don’t suggest rating your own levels in the first place. Even if you didn’t get a warning for it, it ruins your reputation.

I probably spelled permenantly wrong. I’m too lazy to go to Dictionary.com. If I spelled it wrong, please PM me ;P If I spelled it right, don’t.

(Violet’s response: I have the power to give warnings (I.E. I am able to reply to a topic), but I usually don’t. Why? Warnings usually aren’t required. A simple PM without anything official usually does the job, unless the user is actively trying to get in trouble. ~Violet)[This review has been edited by Violet CLM]
