“An odd battle in Aztec ruins, how exciting…”
LEVEL 11/20
Works well, but is too small. Actually the things where you can walk on, would be even a bit more different than the backround.
EYECANDY 8/20
As the tiles were used correctly, it is good, but could have more visual and layerwork.
GAMEPLAY 4/20
This is awful!
“Looks like you just died! Wait until this round is over, then rejoin the server.”
REJOIN THE SERVER? Are you crazy?!
Why couldn’t there be used third party prog, just like Carrotade, to restart the level?
BUGS 7/20
The suckertube-junction-start-controller, or whatever, isn’t very well made, if you are Spaz it is possible to “die”. Just if you doublejump under the warp-randomizer-thing. (Darn, using these-strange-wordie-thingies…)
PICKUPS 14/20
There’s a little plenty of them, good…
TOTAL 44/100 = 4.5
Albeit good but a little buggy battle-survivor-level (crap, again the you-know-what…)
No download recommendation…

Fronteir Battle Spire uses Aztec tileset by Blade. But now for the review. (It’s gona be short by the way)
Gameplay? Well it’s not very good. Gameplay could be improved a lot! First of all this level is way too small and there are just ammos and small platforms. Level is not strategical at all. Don’t do levels in this size. You have to do bigger levels.
I can’t say much about the eyecandy.Well, it’s ok because you have used tiles correctly. There are no tilebugs and that’s good.
You can do better levels. That’s all what I want to say.
Rating: 3
Download Recommendation: No

PS: Just what ‘Extra details’ might you expect?

Rules and guidelines of reviewing
You are bound to abide by certain rules when reviewing and rating. To make things easier both for the users and for the administrators, these rules have been summarized in this list, along with some guidelines which could be helpful in writing better reviews. It’s highly recommended that you read this list if you’re new to reviewing or J2O.
These rules were last changed on October 1, 2006. If any rules are added, or changed in a significant way, it will be announced on the news.
————————————————————————————————————————
All reviews should describe why the upload deserves its given rating using several comprehensible sentences. Saying “X is great because the Y is nice” is not enough. One still needs to go into detail and say why some of the upload’s aspects are nice. It ought to be clear to people that you actually played the level, viewed the tileset, tried out the utility, etc., from your review.
You need to give out ratings fairly. Giving bonus points for the upload author for being your friend/clanmate/family member, for using one of your works, or for any other personal reason is not allowed, and will be edited. If you choose to rate an upload by such a person, be careful to have your review be as objective as possible. Do not let your opinions on the person influence your rating.
Please don’t decrease/increase your ratings for weird reasons such as “You used my tileset” or “You uploaded this on my birthday” – there should be no ad hominem reasoning behind a rating.
Do not post reviews that do not contribute to the site. This includes complaints about levels being made with TSF, “First review!” or “I will review later” reviews, reviews stating that an upload is broken after that has already been pointed out, and random chitchat/talk with other reviewers. Those are considered as spam and will be deleted.
Do not register multiple or fake accounts to manipulate and/or abuse the download section. That also includes multiple helpful/not helpful votes for reviews.
Please do not form reviewer teams. Jazz2Online rules state that each user account may only be used by one person. This means that you may not share an account to form a reviewer team.
Be polite and constructive in your reviews. Please include no remarks like “I can’t believe I wasted my time downloading this awful crap!!!” or saying things such as “I’m better at making levels” just to bring the upload author down. J2O is here to be helpful, not depressive. “The truth is that everything that can be accomplished by showing a person when he’s wrong, ten times as much can be accomplished by showing him where he is right.” ~ Robert T. Allen (not the tracker/composer)
If you’re not sure how to review a level, you may want to adopt the most commonly used system: rating the eyecandy, gameplay, and event placement of a level. In case you don’t know what these terms mean, here is a decent explanation.
Besides these rules, the general site rules are also in effect in the downloads section and should be followed like in every other place on the site. Do not swear or insult anyone in your reviews, do not bypass the swearword filter, etc.
[Umm… yes. Rating (10) clearance. ~cooba]
