Another level by Gus…
EYECANDY:
Appart from some problems that will be mentioned later, everything is OK. Why don’t you upload this?? One of the reasons is the backround. Because it moves and flashes so fast, it becomes a distraction and the clouds on layers 6 and 7 don’t really help since they move along with layer 8.
RATING: 5.5
GAMEPLAY:
There was a lot of vines, triggers and stuff to keep you playing, but there is just one thing wrong. The level isn’t really much of a challenge without spikes, confusing obstacles and enemies put in difficult positions. This level is a classic example of a non-challenging level. There were no spikes, no challenging obstacles and the only enemies were Norm turtles which are one of the easiest enemies in JJ2.
RATING: 4.1
ITEMS:
When the level doesn’t seem to be incredibly easy with the lack of gameplay, it becomes easier with the high overuse of items in the level. If you put gameplay on one side of a scale and items on the other, items would certainly weigh more than gameplay. At one point of the level I got sugar rush, and only destroyed 5 enemies (and 2 super gems). There are also 2 extra lives just lying on some edges in the level path.
RATING: 3.9
AVERAGE RATING: 4.5
BONUSSES:
MUSIC:
I find it insane that someone would use Orbitus Remix from TIMM in a heaven level. +0
TILESET:
I like your choice of tileset but this tileset is mainly for eyecandy. +0.1
BONUS: 0.1
FINAL RATING: 4.6
RANK: 4 Not good
DOWNLOAD?: N/A (Yes requires 7)
FINAL COMMENT:
You should really check the level before uploading it.

Eh. This level would be quite decent, but it has some definite problems.
Gameplay: 6
Quite generic, nothing really special. It’s your basic running around killing turtles level. Unfortunately, you are indeed only killing turtles, because there are no other enemies. Reminds me of the easter levels from TSF, which fail so horribly because the only thing you’re up against are turtles, turtles, and more fucking turtles. These guys are quite boring, and prove no real challenge. Some more difference would have helped. To add to that, the items are very overused and easy to get. They’re all along the way, somewhat easy to grab. There are no real secrets at all. This is proven by the fact that I got my sugar rush at the same spot fearofdark got his. Summarized, this level is just too easy to be fun. May be good for beginners though.
Eyecandy: 5.5
The sprite layer eyecandy is mediocre at best. While there are no tilebugs, there is also not a lot of eyecandy. Many plain walls, nothing that stands out. What really hurts though is the background, which just moves too fast. There is neither a reasoning behind the speed of the clouds, nor does it add a cool effect. It’s just annoying. Needs work.
Creativity: 6
There is no storyline, and nothing really stands out. The only thing worth noting are a few triggers, but there isn’t a lot of creativity needed to create those. The eyecandy is somewhat uncreative too. Overall, this level just lacks something to surprise the player, something to remember. Boring.
Conclusion:
Not a lot, just an unchallenging little single player level. Not really worth the download, but you can if you want to give it a chance.
Final Rating: 6
