    Starting Comments
    Finally! A new single player! I’ve been waiting for new downloads, since the J2O download section is practically dead.

    Gameplay
    After playing the first level (which was rather short), I noticed that you are a newcomer. No offence, it just looked like this would be your first level ever. Straight lines, things copied from other episodes and levels. The gameplay sucked throughout the game. Straight lines and shooting enemies… Sorry, but yawn.

    Gameplay = Bad

    Placements
    No ammo, gems, powerups, and if there are enemies, they’re in straight lines and places you won’t bother watching.

    Placement = Very bad

    Story
    Devan is back, he has come to destroy the world etc… Old story. We need new idea’s.

    Story = Old

    Balance
    Way too easy to be an episode. Sorry, but this just plain sucks.

    Balance = Very bad

    Eyecandy
    Flowers with exactly the same distances between them, moving background, waterfalls made of texture backgrounds… Nothing special.

    Eyecandy = Not worth mentioning

    Music
    I personally like the music from the first level, but it doesn’t fit the level. Most levels didn’t have music (Or music included in the pack).

    Music = Bad

    Originality
    Well, he DID have a trigger puzzle… =\ Also, there was this wide open space in which you needed to find the single-tile-wide exit…

    Originality = Could be better

    Score
    I really don’t think you deserve any score higher than a 2. Just because I am nice, I’ll leave the rating blank. Use it wisely…

    Score = N/A

    Bonusses/substractions
    Nothing worth mentioning (Although I like fact that you used Fawriel (Formerly known as Piccolo) his old tilesets.)

    Added Score = N/A

    Download Recommendation
    No.

    Further comment
    If you want to make good episodes, think of a good idea. As for eyecandy and level layout, check the best downloads… =P

    My old review is gone(Does anyone by chance have a copy of it?)
    But the final score was 1.6, with a D/L reccomendation of no.

    [Answer: No copy exists anymore in our database. I guess the file was deleted without taking care of saving reviews (something which I should probably automatically implement in code to prevent future losses). I’m sorry. – FQuist]

    I won’t rate this but I will point out a few things:

    Some of the levels made you dizzy or sick. After I played the asteroid level I had the contant view of stars whizzing across my eyes. And the levels where you have to climb up many platforms whilst there is a moving backround made me feel dizzy as well.

    EDIT: Please in future make levels where you can find the exit.

    You made a good job. This is a good episode. Levels are fantastic. I liked all the levels. Nice job.

    [Unsupported rating (10.0) removal. Aside from being very short and overly general, this review strongly goes against the other comments provided here, without justifying why. -EvilMike]

    OK, I’ll change my rating.

    I’ll give a 7.7 to this episode because retrying to play it i’ve realised that there are no pickups and no ammo. Ischa likes hard levels, and even I like hard levels, but this is a TURBO level. Anyway, there are no other matters, if I can call these lacks so.

    Download recommended.

    [Inappropiate rating (7.7) removal. Can you please give some reasons why this level is as good as you say it is? When you review, please make it clear that you actually played the level and can argue why it’s good or bad. – FQuist]
