    Very interesting lvl, with cars swearing at u…

    EYECANDY: Not too goood but it is using a hard to use tileset which i rate u higher for, though i am currently makin something with it. U used 4 layers which is exactly average… i see quite a few bugs when i play but none are horrible… The eyecandy is reasonably above average, coz it is usin a rlly hard-to-use tileset.

    LEVEL: This lvl isnt fantastic, though there are rude cars about… =P. There are a few original ideas here, there are MCEs and trigger zones that get u the freezer PU. which is good… and also the skydiving idea is really cool, and fun unless u get hurt by the dragons in the wall… which is annoyin. Not a straight lvl which is good. and this lvl isnt that short, not much secrets (or maybe none). there are some traps that can be irritating…

    Pickups: Yay… not bad placement. it is above average, and the lvl doesnt keep on doin one pickup, (apart from the gems in the skydiving, which is fun). the placement could be better again.

    Other Stuff: Music suits lvls, and there are winds (actually conveyor belts) for the MCEs, i’m just wondering: couldnt u put the belt and spring in the wall? The name suits the lvl in this case. again no nxt lvl. and very wierd… it is all pink!

    Overall: this is good, not too good, but good

    Hmm..interesting level. Here’s my review:

    CHECKLIST
    [x] Single player mode
    [-] Multiplayer mode
    [x] Playable with Jazz
    [x] Playable with Spaz
    [x] Playable with Lori
    [x] Easy/medium/hard setting

    STORY
    This level doesn’t have a real story, you just have the mission to go “back in time”. I don’t really know what this does mean, but I guessed I’d have to find the exit. Because there is the try of a story I’ll give a 2.5 here.
    SCORE: 2.5

    LVL DESIGN AND EYECANDY AND…STUFF
    The lvl design has two parts, one normal part where you shoot enemies and some mce jazzes (good!) and meet some swearing cars :-)
    And one which is called Skydiving. You have to find a coin first, but it isn’t really hard to find (I don’t remember where it was :) )
    Then you fall, and fall and fall and grab some diamonds on the way down. At first it’s fun, but then it gets boring. The last part with those gem rings is totally pointless because gem rings don’t give you points and you already (should) have over 100 gems. There could be more variety in gems and some obstacles.
    The eyecandy was ok, There was a background layer and a tiny bit in layer 3. What confused me at the start is that all here is pink :-)
    Oh, I forgot after skydiving you have to beat a robot. Sadly, this is totally easy if you got the ice powerup (which is easy to get), because once a robot boss is freezed, he doesn’t move and you can easily shoot him with blaster.
    After the endboss the game counted about…2300 gems (!!) :-)
    SCORE: 5.5

    GAMEPLAY
    The gameplay was ok, but there could be more items, more variety in the skydiving part and it could be a bit harder.
    SCORE: 5.0

    LENGTH
    The level took me 6 minutes, but I think the skydiving is too long.
    SCORE: 6.0

    AMMO AND OTHER WEAPONS STUFF
    Ammo placement is very bad. There is only one ice powerup, which lets you deactivate the boss. There should have been more ammo + no freezer ammo (if you use the robot boss, be sure the player can’t have ice unless he cheats).
    SCORE: 1.5

    BADDIES
    The enemy placement is ok, those mce jazzes are good. After the skydiving part you get sucked into the boss (oh dear). The boss is too easy because of that ice powerup.
    SCORE: 4.5

    HURT EVENTS AND OTHER OBSTACLES
    There aren’t any other obstacles, I wish there would be some in the skydiving (would make it less boring). Oh, I forgot you need a coin for skydiving, but that’s way too less.
    SCORE: 2.0

    TILESETS
    The author used the megamegatropolis tileset from Disguise. He used a weird pink version and that’s original.
    SCORE: 7.5

    USE OF TILESETS
    The tileset use is neither good nor bad. It’s average. I think there could be more stuff in layer 3 and maybe a second background layer. The skydiving parts should have more eyecandy. And I think layer 8 moves a bit too fast, but that’s only my opinion.
    SCORE: 5.0

    CONCLUSION
    This level is ok, but needs several fixing. Next time make your level more interesting, use ammo and more eyecandy.
    DOWNLOAD? Your decision
    HOST? I think the skydiving idea could be used very well for a treasure hunt level (hint hint!!) but with less gems :)
    LEVEL RANK: Average
    ——————-
    FINAL RATING: 5.2
    ——————-

    KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND CONTINUE MAKING JAZZ JACKRABBIT 2 LEVELS!
