The Smallest Tileset Ever (Woody) contains nine tiles (that is, one row, including the first empty tile). You’re given a single block, a half of a block, four tiles for creating slopes, an unmasked darker version of the single block, a vertical vine, and a single tile for a background. Noka’s level proves that a decent, if boring, level can be made using this with a little creativity.
While I have respect for a successful minimalist approach, there are simply too few tiles to properly utilize a lot of jj2’s environment events. No horizontal vine, horizontal/verticle poles, hook, etc etc. In the end, the tileset is okay, but only having one row of tiles is not an impressive gimmick.
Because it at least looks fine, with enough colour variation to suit a basic level, I give you credit for that. It’s difficult to misuse this set, as well. There are no mask problems, either (it’d be sad if there were).
I’m giving this a 6.2, because it’s not terrible and it’s certainly not amazing. At least.. it’s useable. No download recommendation, though, unless you’re looking to make a level facing varietal restrictions.

A small note, Mez’s Mez04 tileset is also 9 tiles. It was released as a gimmick years ago, and was quite high in quality.

Smallest Tileset Ever indeed.
EYECANDY: In the set there are just 9 tiles. Only the basic tiles can be found like blocks, slopes, 2 tiles for a background and one vine tile which can be used in the Foreground. This set is lacking some other things including signs, destruct scenery (blocks with star on them) and also Buttstomp scenery (blocks with Exclamation marks). Hmmmm… as FOD says, there are in fact 10 tiles if you count the blank. 6/10
LAYOUT: There are only 9 tiles but you can do still do an OK level with them. 5/10
EASE OF USE: Only 9 tiles means this set will be very easy to use. 10/10
USEFULNESS: Although it is easy to use, I don’t think it would be very useful for making a level pack. Maybe just 1 or 2 levels but probably no more than that. I can’t see this set being used that much. 5/10
MASKING: All tiles are masked correctly. It would be strange if a 9 tile set wasn’t. LOL! 10/10
EXAMPLE LEVEL: I was AMAZED at what was achievable with just 9 tiles. You’re in what looks like a Wood. Does not count in rating.
TOTAL: 36/50 (7.2)
DOWNLOAD RECOMMENDATION?
Not sure.
GRADE: C = GOOD

Heh. This is an incredibly small tile set…
But it’s a usable one [as extremely surprised as you may be, any tileset can be used]! Jusst barely. It’s a good thing its set to n/a comment, or you might get some baaaaad vibes. Only a few repetitive lines of blocks. Minimal eye candy. If anyone could make a decent level with this, i’d be so amazed. Oh well. Your call about dl’ing.
I think its a good tileset and a good joke :P. 9\10
Yeah, only 10 bricks to use,but even if you can, build a four
brick tileset and an example level.
I thought that “Dreamy Mirrow I” by Disguise is the smallest tileset ever.
Then i met this tileset by Noka….
Nice job, bro…
Even though its the smallest, it is very usefull for an intro level and could save memory.
HaHa, according to my count, it has 10 tiles.
This tileset is soo titch!!!!!
