    A good hour, though for some parts more than others. The blue walls, bricks and green pipes highlighted in the screenshot look amazing, but this comes at the expense of the rest of the tileset, none of which is attractive. I’d love to see an expansion of the sewer with more soil tile variety that nixes the rest. Masking fine, layout imperfect.

    Balltyville Sewers

    To start:
    The sewer. A obvious theme for a level, however there are just a couple of tilesets about the sewer. Now I rate one of those tileset.

    Practical: (20 pts)
    Practical it is! It is not a very big tileset, which makes it easy to use. And actually it has almost everything you might need if you want to create a level: paths, walls, a sky, vines and even tubes to suck you through (like in Tubelectric)! However: you can’t make a nice detailed background with this tileset. Also things like spikes are missing, but if you create a level with this tileset, you can easily place some spike balls instead.
    Result: 12 pts

    Eyecandy: (20 pts)
    Well… it’s not good. The circle shaped tiles (like the manhole cover and the lights) are not so tight. Also: the soil and road tiles are simple made: just one color with lots of small dots.
    Result: 5 pts

    Originality: (20 pts)
    The concept of the entire level being set in a sewer is very rare on JJ2-tilesets. It’s quite original, but like you can understand from the practical- and eyecandy ratings it’s underused.
    Result: 10 pts

    Example level: (10 pts)
    Example levels in tileset packs might come in handy, because it can show you how to use the tileset if you’re gonna use it. The example level made for this tileset is good! For example: because of the example level I know the white circle with the yellow circle are lights. Sadly enough you didn’t show us what a good boss would be for this level. I think the Tuf Boss (Schwartzenguard) fits best, but what do you think?
    Result: 8 pts

    Total points: 35
    Maximum number of points: 60
    Calculating: 35÷60×9+1
    Final Rating: 6.3
    Download recommendation: N/A
    Why? Downloading this level pack is neither good or bad. To stay in the theme about sewers I say it’s a flush idea to download! Want to know where I got that quote? Check this video out — Is It A Good Idea To Microwave A Toilet Bowl? http://t.co/9a82oaO via YouTube!
