Not bad… Could use a story…
Diamondus Hike
It all starts in Diamondus, and it ends there as well… (Well DUH! one level…) You just jump around, climbing high platforms and using springs in a smart way. Just a simple level, with a random (?) endboss. Enemy placement was good, but mind that bees shouldn’t respawn that fast. Give people some time to look around after killing something. Ammo placement was alright.
Score: 7
Good thing
Nice placement on the coins.
Bonus Points: 0.5
Bad thing
The Bolly boss. In a Diamondus level, it is best to use the Schwartzenguard or Bubba Boss. If there was a story involving the Bolly to be there, I would have approved.
Bonus Points: -1
Score:
6.5
Download Recommendation:
It was fun to play, so, yes.

Man, when was the last time I reviewed a SP level? I don’t know, but it was a LONG time ago. But now I’ll try to make a decent review for this Single Player level.
Introduction : A Diamondus level that’s quite old. Fun to see it nowadays. The level is small, and the name describes the level alot ; you have to jump alot.
Difficulty:
The level was quite easy for me(except the boss) I am quite bad in Single Player, but the level was easy. The boss was too hard for me, though. There weren’t alot of enemies.
Eye candy:
The standard Diamondus tileset isn’t the best one for eye candy but it could be much better. It’s quite simple, and almost no layers were used. The most eye candy is in layer 4 and there is a simple background with trees and so is the foreground. Nothing special, but also not horrible.
The level itself
The level is quite open and has a few secrets you’ll have to search for. The level has got alot of platforms and also a lot of spikes. The bonus is decent, but I couldn’t find 20 coins when I was first playing it. The ammo chosen is not bad at all, and the amount is so-so. There wasn’t alot, but the level is small so I guess it’s okay. The level could use one Power-Up except the Gun9 one, though. It hasn’t got puzzles or trigger crates. The amount of carrots is good, but there is only one Save point. This can be a major problem if you fight the boss and lose; you’ll start from there again. Although the distance between the Save point and the boss isn’t that long, I don’t like it. That there is a Bolly Boss isn’t a problem to me.
Overall, I think it’s a decent Single Player level. It has some good points here and there, but also has its bad points like the eye candy. My final rating is a 6.7.
Download Recommendation : I’ll give N/A although some people might want to download it because they’re Single Player fans which I’m not. I don’t really know why I reviewed this but I just wanted to test if I can still review. =P
CrimiClown, first of all, the bees spawn in the same time as normal bees do in Diamondus levels. And usually a story line is not necessary in a small single player level, which is really something you shouldn’t minus a whole score for. And what is wrong with adding the Bolly boss? I can add whichever boss I like, you little (PA). And since it’s in a cave, it’s not a too preposterous idea.
