Note: This review may be rendered “obsolete” because of the time Puffie40 posted this level on J2O (in 2004).
Well, I promised Puffie40 a review for one of his levels in the Review Exchange thread, so here is my first normal review in a long time (and my second one in general.) I couldn’t get to download Ballistic Bullets (one which I wanted to review more than this level)
because -it said “No file found.”-* Sigh…
Anyways, on with the review:
Eyecandy: 1.5/3
This level has almost no eyecandy in some areas, which is kind of bad. Other areas have some eyecandy, which isn’t all that great imo, but it’s still nice.
Gameplay: 2/4
I think it’s a little bit annoying to get around, but that’s typical when you’re new to making levels like this. Some places in this level feel like this is part of a single player level. The layout seems a bit random, and in some places is really hard to get up with Jazz or Spaz. Try to be a bit more creative with the layout.
Ammo/Goodies Placement: 1.4/2
There isn’t really that much ammo, but on the other hand where there is ammo, it’s pretty nice. ;)
Originality: 0.6/1
The way you had the ammo + cake with the carrot is pretty original. Also, when you had the food with the other ammo that was pretty cool, but I recommend not having food in your MP levels because it gives the player a sugar rush which can be quite annoying to others.
Bonuses/deductions:
Good:
—Your second level. +0.4 for that.
Bad:
—You used the original Letni music. — 0.1
—Level feels more like a Single Player level in some places. — 0.2
Calculations:
1.5 + 2 + 1.4 + 0.6 + 0.4 — 0.1 — 0.2 =
(3.5) + (2.0) + 0.4 — 0.1 — 0.2 =
(5.9) — 0.3 = 5.6
Rating: 5.6
Overall, this isn’t really that good of a level, but it’s very good for your second battle level. High five!
Download Recommendation: N/A (must be 7.5+ for Yes)
**EDIT: Puffie managed to get Ballistic Bullets working again. Yay!
