Allright here are a few bugs you made in the upload and zip:

There is no music included or no music at all, there is no description of the level here and the level was ‘hidden in homecooked levels’ you could fix that in your next upload, maybe it will do good on my rating :)

Now for the level itself: It makes me think of something I played a little while ago, which is good. Also it seems you have practiced with JCS Stiletto :)
Nice level, Lori-unfriendly though and all ammo immediatly respawns when you pick it up, which is a bit too fast if you ask me…

I didnt read the readmenot so I assume its ok.

If you fix the little bugs in everything I might review again with a higher rating (HINT HINT)

Nice level,
Gets boring after a while though.
And what The Black Death said:
About the respawning if you put this much ammo in a level it will start lagging a lot and you won’t see the characters anymore :P
So you have to think where to put your ammo before placing it, the rest of the level is nice :)

Ok… I kinda like the level.
Basically looks good to me.
(Diamondous does look good to me.)
Of course, it is small.

Sevens at least? Must be pals. Anyways here’s my opinion:

Eyecandy:
Sux bigtime. No use of flowers and other decoration to improve yer eyecandy. There are also some things at the sides of lvl which are made VERY bad. The vines are placed bloody wrong like they float in the air and some of the walls aren’t finished.

Gameplay:
How long did the author take to build this lvl? My guess is 5 minutes. Using much of the same stuff: At the upper right of the lvl there’s a constant type of path used: up and down- up and down. The authour didn’t think about places where u can surprise others with bouncers or other weapons. Just a dumb/regular setup. And what to say about the spring placement: If u could die from headaches there was no way to play this lvl, cos of the instant headblocking. And what’s a blue spring doing at a point where can should a green one, or even a red one would be good. Now u just fly miles over your target.

Weaponplacement:
Even eventplacing is hard for the author. He placement ammo in one line in the air. There isn’t anything bad about that, but it is bad when it is 15 ammo: Which are AMMOBOXES! If u put those in the air they’ll fall down: All at the place. So u got about 20 boxes lying at one place: pretty cheap. Other waepons aren’t placed 2 good as well. I could go on and on, but then I’d probably decide to give it even lower: U lucky son of a gun…

Tsk, tsk, all you “occasional and medium reviewers” with your extreme and unbalanced ratings…listen up! Here comes a real review :-)))

“Battle over diamondus” is built in one of the most overused tilesets of all times. The design is a bit dull (just some boring platforms) and the eyecandy needs massive improvement (the author hardly used any other layers than #4 and #8).
Also, there is no background music which only supports the impression of a level that just missed something (call it the special touch).
Two minor bugs are the wrong next level setting and the lack of single player start positions.
As you have probably noticed already, i still prefer the classic “Battle Over Carrottus” :-) Battle fans may still want to download this for their (already incredibly large) collection.

Ah, yet another level using one of the most overused tilesets of all time. This one doesn’t succeed at using the tileset so well, I found plenty of bad eye candy and masking bugs, and the level’s lack of music, overall, makes it feel, well, dull. I feel most levels aren’t complete without music, and this level enforces that feeling. The eye candy was fairly dull (layer work was poor), and the layout needed plenty of work.

Overall I’m sure you can find better levels using the Diamondus Set, but like Aiko, I’ll stick to Battle over Carrotus.

PS: You need to use a proper next level setting.

-Stunts, it seems like you don’t like any level or file. Try to also see the good points at lvls.
-Kinda buggy but nice try level, don’t want to give a review, because i’m a nerd.

This is a pretty average level in most ways. The eyecandy, gameplay – everything nearly, in fact – falls into the average range. There are few eyecandy bugs, but the eyecandy is nothing interesting, anyway. No download recommendation. Sorry. Keep trying, though.[This review has been edited by Trafton AT]
