What the crap you guys? This tileset in no way deserves anything above a 7.
The tileset is very small, has hardly any variation of colours in it. While the masking is good enough, the tileset is simply very, very dull.
Most of it consists of very 2d, almost entirely solid one colour blocks, very mez-like only without any texture or variation whatsoever. As you get to the bottom there is more of a 3d side-walk esque thing with, again, almost no variation whatsoever. I don’t see how the flat blocks and the very wide 3d tiles are supposed to fit together. It looks there are tiles that switch between the two, but even together they still don’t look that good. Your example makes good enough use of it. I like the background, but the foreground needs some serious work.
As far as alterations and eyecandy go, there are trees, if they can be called that. You get a brown stick and a green oval, I guess in theory that’s a tree. There are also ‘railing’ like things, which, while it is an okay concept, the railings themselves are merely 1 pixel wide lines. There are also tiles for rain, and a stoplight thing useful for lighting effects. There is no textured background. However, there are a couple building-like tiles which are fairly cool, albeit simplistic. You at least made good use of them in your example level.
There are some animations on here, and while I give you kudos for making them, they aren’t all that interesting or anything.
Look, don’t get me wrong, here, zapS, for a beginner you avoided a lot of common mistakes. The masking is quite well done too. Any tone of sarcasm and annoyance in my review is simply because of the gross overrating we have going on. Your tileset is simply okay. It isn’t bad, but it certainly does NOT deserve an 8.1. That’s the only reason I was inspired to write this, I was very annoyed.

First glance on tileset: Oh, it looks okay, some strange puff things
The Tileset:
Eye Candy Stuff: You have a tree, some good animations, and a clouds and a sort of city background. It fits, and it isnt too busy.
The rain is a plus, and it looks fine, but you may have too put an empty tile, because it looks a litle too busy.
2.0/2.5
Blocks and stuff:
Oh, cool! Blocks! You can make shapes with them, and even spell Kaja! Cool! I like them. Though, a level can be boring with all the same tiles.
2.2/2.5
Masking:
You did a good job on this. I haven’t found any tile bugs.
2.0/2.0
Can be used easily: Yes, you can put them in any shape, but the \/ shape can be a little hard for real beginners.
1.0/1.5
Shootable Blocks: You included all the blocks, blocks you need to shoot with rockets,fire and stuff. Also the star, the 1,2,3 and 4x. So short: All thats needed.
1.5/1.5
Rating: 2.0 + 2.2 +2.0 +1.0 +1.5 = 8.7.
Use this: Yes!
Good job! Maybe you can make some more tilesets? :)

My Rating:
Tiles:
Nice job, though a little too un-detailed.
You include all the basic tiles, with the possible exepction of a hook, but since I think hooks are sux, I give this 10 of 10.
Masks:
No mask messages! :( Besides this, the maksing is great. No bugs whatsoever. 10 of 10.
Music:
You stole the music from Hotel Deluxe! I do like the music, though, so you’ll get a 5 of 10.
Hype:
Hype is basically the rating before I reviewed this. In this case, 8.1 of 10.
Tilt: I’ve seen better, but you’re new. 8 of 10.
10 + 10 + 5 + 8.1 +8 = 41.1 / 5 = 8.22 = 8.2
Final Rating = 8.2
Download: Yes
Use in JCS: If you want a city level but are tired of MegaMegametropolis.
Host levels made using this: Yes

8.2?
overrating, in my opinion.
Well.. its quite small tileset. small tilesets can be good, so its not a bad thing. Too bad that tileset doesn’t have much colors in it, many colors are brown, green.. or different shades of gray. ( i hope i spelled that right ;p )
Which gives this tileset a boring look. tileset is exstremely easy to use though, and there’s some eyecandy tiles, which make me rate higher. well.. final rating is 6.7
BUILD WITH THIS: I don’t think i would.. its too small for me.
DOWNLOAD RECOMMEDATION:Your decision. ;D
the tileset is easy to build with and its many animation.
the mask is good and i like it for its easy to build and many animation.
if you are a new player so is this tileset good and easy too build with.
but sometimes its kind of crazy=)
its a cool tileset but i want some more things in it so i give it a 8.2
the Backround is very nice and something!!!
