Eyecandy
Not that bad as I expected. A background layer is used, although it doesn’t move at all, and that’s a bad sign. There are some tilebugs, too, and they are actually easy to spot (cavern tiles errors). Entire level looks bland with too less layers and cave tiles used, and diamonds in the grounds were placed in somewhat ugly way.
Gameplay
w00t! The gameplay here is really mediocre. ;| This level lacks of original ideas! All you do is running around and searching for crates, much like in JJ2. Except this feels a bit too boring than JJ2 for some reason. Maybe unbalanced enemy placement? In some spots they’re clumped, and in another spots there are no enemies at all! That still doesn’t change the fact, that this level is plain… easy. (use flying enemies to make levl harder.)
Overall : Below average. Boring and bland looking… eeh. Keep trying.

the level was kinda easy for me…
I like it to be harder than this,
There were too many 3Ways that i did not used and tht part with the crate maze was boring because i was searching and searching for the way to those crates and few times i got stuck(without jjk) but, instead of that i used jjfly and jjnowall to get to some crates because i’ve got bored.
The gameplay was nasty there were too many goodies and a small number of enemies(i lost 2 lives in the level)
But there were some good things about it like the background use the layer use and the schwartzenguard boss and I found an uterus boss as well which you do not usualy find in diamondus
So … I’m sorry but 5.5
Tip:Try putting more flying enemies better with less goodies(but not much)and more enemies to make it harder.
and something that hurts if you fall into it(sort of)no matter how long it takes to finish the level
For a first release it’s not that bad but to be honest I didn’t enjoy it that much. What you did was copy one path and use it 4 times, that’s not original. Like you said it really reminded me of the original levels ( some parts) though those were much better.

Eyecandy: You only put eyecandy on 2 layers. Two isn’t enough, 3 would be enough, but its your first level release, so you probaly wouldn’t have. 13/20.
Gameplay: Very good gameplay, especialy crates, i give you 20/20 for that.
ITEMS: Add a few more and you would have gotten another 20. But you didn’t, so i’ll give you 18/20.
Enemies: Same as items, its not hard enough, but there are less enemies, but there is a blissy boss ate the end. You would of had 16, but the boss, so 17/20.
Size: You were right, not too big, not too small. 18/20.
Added Up = 86/100. Divide by 10= 8.6. Round up to nearest rating= 8.5
8.5: Very good first try!!!
EDIT: OK then, very good first SP level.

This is not really my first creation in JCS, it’s only my first finished level work.
(if you care) :P
