    This is my 155th review and your first level pack..Lets Review!

    EYECANDY:
    The problem is the tile errors on the sprite layer. The ’1 tile big’ platforms look ugly and there are tiles in the wrong places. The eyecandy also looks rushed. The red technoir tiles looked like they’d just been dragged around the level. The JJ1 bit of the eyecandy is the backround. The red technoir backround used in JJ1 isn’t made on the 8th layer, its used on the 7th layer so that it moves along with the level.
    RATING: 4.9

    GAMEPLAY:
    The gameplay has strong points. There are good challenges in the level and in some parts are fun and interesting. I think in one section of the level I found myself on an airboard dodging sparks. That would be more fun if there were less sparks. The same goes for throughout the level. There is a dangerous overuse of enemies and this makes some parts of the level fustraiting.
    RATING: 5.5

    ITEMS:
    There are about as many items as there are enemies. I found 9 powerups within an area of 10 by 10. There are about 15 Powerups in the entire level (Maybe more) and about 6 Full NRG carrots (Which may be of use). Because of this, the level felt rather crowded.
    RATING: 4.3

    MEAN AVERAGE RATING: 4.9

    BONUSSES:

    MUSIC:
    Technoir….
    +0

    TILESET:
    The newspaz conversion. Its not a great conversion and you didn’t make good use of it.
    +0

    BONUS: 0
    FINAL RATING: 4.9
    RANK: 4 Not good
    DOWNLOAD?: N/A (yes requires 7)
    FINAL COMMENT:
    If you want to make better level packs in the future then listen to reviewers. The first step would be to put less stuff into your levels.

    EXTRA NOTE: Do not lable your Readme ‘Readme’. I had to overwrite another one to see yours. Name them after the level or after yourself.
