Actually, i’m kinda diggin’ this level…
Let’s start from the top:
TILESET~
Although like RedJazz has stated about the palette is true, I kind of like the ‘icey but not winter yet’ type of feel that the tileset has to it. In terms of usage in your level, I think you used it pretty much to its full extent, although I didn’t analyze every single aspect of it.
~You do get .5 for the tileset because you did not create it, but I did like your choice, so I commented on it.
WEAPON PLACEMENT~
In my personal opinion, I think you used too many powerups. But besides that, the bouncers in the igloos and RFs scattered all around the level make ammo not hard to come by; unlike other levels where i have to run a mile to find ammunition other than the default blaster.
~I give you a 1.5 for Weapon Placement.
BACKROUNDS AND EYECANDY~
While i do like your layer 8, i think you should add more to the other layers. And something that’s bothering me is the igloos. It should be a foreground layer, not a background layer. I understand why you put it as a background layer, but when you have the entrance hole as a foreground and the igloo itself as a background, it looks kind of funny, and just doesn’t feel right. Other than those, I think you did a good job with your eyecandy.
~Your eyecandy gets you a 3.5.
MUSIC~
I had to enable my sound to check out the music file you chose, and it fits very well, i must say. Although you didn’t create it yourself, i’m going to still give you points for your choice of music. I’m doing this because there are many, many different music files, and I think you chose very well on what to put into your level. It fits so well that it seems like you had the music choice picked out before the level was made! :D
~I have rated your music 1.2.
OVERALL~
I recommend download because it’s a REALLY fun instagib level when you get enough people in it. And my favorite part of this whole level is the water underneath the ground…it gives your level that ‘icey but not snowing’ type of feel. I dig that. :P
~The overall rating for this level is 6.7.
COMMENTS~
Although possibly a bit too big of a level, give it a chance.
Thanks,
