It’s so annoying seeing levels marked as 1.23 when they’re TSF only levels.
Right, now onto the review.
EYECANDY
There is hardly any eyecandy to be seen in this level. The background looks boring without anything in Layers 5,6 or 7. Layer 4 looks too repetitive. There’s some nice flashing tubes but that is all that looks good. Don’t rush levels like this.
Also, don’t make levels look empty by only having 1 tile high platforms.
1.2/10
GAMEPLAY
The level is too small for a CTF match. CTF bases are too hard to access. At first, I didn’t have a clue of how to get to the Red Base. Warps are too hidden, there is no obvious sign of how to get out of the area.
First time players of this level would have no idea of how to access the Blue Base either.
There are no PUs anywhere. These are a must in a multiplayer level.
1/10
WEAPON & CARROT PLACEMENT
There are not enough weapons to be found here. Weapons are too hidden. Not enough of them were in the open. Only some Bouncer ammo which is not good enough without a PU somewhere. Same goes for the Seekers and Blaster.
Carrots are too easy to access as there are 4 “1 Carrots” and one “Full NRG” all arranged in a “” form making it too easy for players to regain health.
1/10
TOTAL SCORE: 1.2 + 1 + 1 = 3.2/30 = 1.0666666666666666666666666666667 = 1.1/10
DOWNLOAD?
No, but don’t let the low rating put you off making any more levels. Just keep trying and follow BattleSpaz’s tips and you will get better.

Sad attempt at a CTF level.
Eyecandy
Eyecandy is very bland. Everything is floating which I guess is ok for space. theirs a background of space and that’s it. The layer 4 bland and repetitive, using trick tiles to make it confusing to get to the bases. Very few animations are used and the level is to small for CTF. overall, boring eyecandy.
1/10
Gameplay
Gameplay is boring. most of the ammo and carrots are put in secret locations and once you figure out how to get to them, It can basically be impossible for you to die. There’s no powerups at all and only a little bouncer ammo is out in the open. There are 6 carrots in one area which is to much and everything doesn’t have a delay for the respawn. The bases can be hard to get to because for blue, there’s one little area that you can go though and for red, you have to go through some fake tiles which can be confusing. there’s arrows, but your not likely to notice them in a hard core match to the death. Also the map is way to small.
1/10
Ammo and Carrots
Bad. Most of the ammo is in secret areas and very little is in the open. once you figure out how to get to everything, you’ll never run out. There is a stash of 6 carrots that respawn to0 quickly meaning you won’t be dying anytime soon.
1/10
Final Score: 3/30

DR? No. There’s no way i would host this level as there’s not that much fun to be had. No download.
Few tips for posting a level:
-Don’t name it just CTF. Name it TSCTF or whatever.
-You also need the tileset. Levels cant be opened without tilesets.
-If this works on TSF, it should be marked as TSF level.
Few tips about making level(Everything I saw from the skeleton of level):
-Don’t make bases hard to reach. There should not be wall, and warps that are nearly hidden to another side.
-You need more ammo and powerups to the level, also reachable carrot would be nice.
-Make levels bigger. This level is too small, also, you can resize the level.
Keep making those levels, you get better, belive me! You should check top 10 levels of J2O for some examples.
put the tileset in or people might not be albe to download it
yes this is tsf/1.24
