Single player, by 
EDIT- There is a mistake in the following review noting the name Basler as “Ballsy”. This is due to my faulty memory, however the contents of the review currently will not be changed due to laziness. Just remember to disregard anything about “Ballsy”
With the oddly named title and poor screenshot I nearly brushed this level off. However the line “Please for rating” struck me as incredibly awesome and I decided to play the pack. Before we start I’d like to point out the current event taking place. There have been four single player levels uploaded recently which is the most entirely separate SP uploads uploaded so closely together in some time. Fun.
Whats also slightly fun is this level. The level can be split into two parts, one half that you’ll be spending most of your time in that is open-ended, and the other half is linear. The open-ended section started off feeling quite fun for me since it felt so wildly open. However that openness leads to the level’s major problem: The level design contains far too much empty space and too few distinct design choices to be able to link areas together. Also sucking the fun out of the design is that is no clear goal at all. I constantly found silver crates though I never knew what they activated, and I found the secret hideout you’re instructed to go to by aimless wandering more than anything else. The fact that I only had half the coinage needed to proceed past the hideout made my next session of aimless wandering in the level feel like a chore.
The enemy placement feels random, more along the lines of “There is grass here, so to will be an enemy” instead of “This is a strategic place for a turtle to be”. As usual the only enemies that posed a threat were the flying lizards and bees. At times I felt like enemies were placed without discretion as I paid the bonus booth 10 coins and warped directly onto a turtle.
That turtle signifies the start of what I call the second half. It’s not really a half since it takes much less time to complete, though its design philosophy greatly differs from that of the earlier portion. It is quite linear and feels like “Mah Furst JayJay Tooooo lvl!” in that its design could be placed into anyone’s first SP upload and feel right in. That being said, the design in this portion isn’t bad (in fact its a lot more competent then the open ended part) , it just feels uninspired and like I’ve traversed it countless times before. Upon completion you get to Eva thus giving the level’s name a bearing of sense and logic.
The eyecandy as usual is nothing bad, its just there. Not even trying to make a case for me to notice it be it by flaws or outstanding graphics-whoreship. This is quite simply, the most average eyecandy I have ever seen. There is nothing in the level that is wrong tile-wise, yet there isn’t anything thats not bland either.
The level also insults the player quite a bit and tends to be quite vulgar. The first time I noticed this I thought Ballsy was a misspelling of Bilsy, however as time went on I have come to the conclusion that this refers more to a sack carried by males. The second time I noticed this the level called me “gay” with little to no provocation. I presumed that this was a misspelling of “guy” as the text felt quite calm and this was presumably the level author’s first english level. Its like the XKCD comic where the author claims a hobby of his is to drastically change curse level mid-sentence. However the next textstring I found called me dickhead, and that was that. Why the level author did this is beyond me, since the insults are tacked on and aside from Basler’s sole text none of them really feel like they’re supposed to go with the text they’re with. Its like they were added last minute to make the pack feel “edgy”
All in all this pack is hampered by feeling uninspired throughout, and by being far too open for its on good without a clear set of goals. When the level finally decides to start forcing you down a path the level starts being fun again, but it never reaches the level it was when I first started realizing I had stepped into an entirely open world. If only that open world had more substance then what I had to traverse through.
The level is alright, can’t really recommend it on any of its on merits due to far better levels sharing the front downloads page with it. The only problem with the recent SP surge is that level flaws really shine when theres a greener meadow ever so close by.
