STORY
Again no story. BAAAD
SCORE: 1.0
LEVEL 1: Puzzle level (or something, I forgot the name)
LVL DESIGN AND EYECANDY AND STUFF
The author tried to make a puzzle level this time, but the puzzles are very easy and uncreative. I know it’s hard to make puzzles, but a bit more creativity could be improved. After you made three easy puzzles you fight a few baddys (pacman ghosts and stuff), hop over some spikes which are AGAIN mostly hard to avoid, and finally choose an endboss 1 or 2. If you are lucky you will choose a Tufman, if you don’t have luck you will get to fight Bilsy.
Eyecandy is bad AGAIN. I told you to put in back- and foreground layers. Nothing again. Only a blue sky. Bad!
SCORE: 4.0 (again)
GAMEPLAY
Like said before, a try of a puzzle level, but way too easy puzzles. Finding a way through layer 3 hidden blocks isn’t a real puzzle, tough.
SCORE: 4.0
SIZE
It takes 5 minutes to play through, but the author said it’s an episode so the size is ok.
SCORE: 5.0
AMMO AND OTHER WEAPONS STUFF
This time there is ammo in the level, a bit of TNT (very useless, but you need it for a puzzle) and some toaster ammo. I think it could have been more, because after some shots you only have your blaster (or the very useless TNT ammo) left to kill Bilsy/Tufman.
SCORE: 4.5
BADDIES
Baddy placement is better than in *censored*+, there are some pacman ghosts, which wants to eat you or something. They are ok placed, tough they could be more strategically. The idea of choosing an endboss (you don’t know before) is good. Tough, enemy placement is nothing spectacular.
SCORE: 5.0
HURT EVENTS AND OTHER OBSTACLES
There are the very easy puzzles, and some annoying (AGAIN) spikes. This is ok, but the puzzles are just..too easy.
SCORE: 4.0
TILESET
The author used the Egypt Light set from Kejero. This is a cool set, well chosen :)
SCORE: 7.0
USE OF TILESET
Bad. There is again no eyecandy and the most tiles aren’t used. The moving knifes animation was good, but I can’t give points for that, because you also could simply have stolen it.
SCORE: 2.0
MUSIC
Again, Try17, but it fits.
SCORE: 7.0
CONCLUSION
This is better than censored + and the author tried to do something other than normal gaming. But the puzzles are way too easy, the eyecandy just sux and there is too less ammo.
SCORE: 4.5
Let’s take a look on level 2.
LEVEL 2: The final puzzle bosses
I don’t really know what to do here. I’m in a room with 4 orange things which sometimes hurt me and sometimes not. No point what to do.
CONCLUSION:
Because I did not finish the second level I won’t give a rating.
DOWNLOAD RECCOMENDATION: No
HOST: No
LEVEL RANK: Below average
FINAL SCORE: N\A (4.0)
