    4Not recommended:

    i saw TONS off bugs, dead ends, misplaced tiles that made me very :( sad face. So here they are with a review just for you, not making the same mistake next time.

    First off all =
    The music doesn’t fit in this Night version theme.. it’s to “heavy”…

    something about the level platforms/gameplay:

    it’s very clumsy and small.. u tried to make a pit with CTF bases and bees events . What won’t work,.. u won’t get hurt by the bees or Hurt events in multiplayer, and the score system to die only works in single player. So u will be stuck forever in that pit, nothing that will help you out.. you could at least Betatest your map to get the bugs out off it, what you probably haven’t done. We now like to use JJ2+ to let the 255 pit event work. and there are some dead ends at the upper side (especially left) which also ruins the gameplay a bit. oh and by the way, the steam is very irritating when u are moving around, and there is no way to get in the “coal chute” room since the wind is stopping you to get in ( u probably wanted that the wind BRINGS you in there.. but u used the wrong direction) the steam also prevents that you are not able to jump. and some in the mid is a tube that gives you a airboard which is pretty useless, since the paths are way to small at that part. some good points are, that the whole level also has some good big paths with nice platforms ideas.

    some more things about the eyecandy:

    the platforms do look a big plain (mostly straight lines) and the background is “okay”. the buildings are well done with good speed settings, but the Textured background isn’t textured here, which makes u get a weird pattern background at layer 8 when u are playing this level, and the moon doesn’t have any speed setting which makes the moon a very unrealistic look, because it doesn’t make any movement. the sprite layer has also some bugs, like misplacing tiles. the whole brick part that is made southeast of the map is misplaced, and the ground around the Danger Machina (don’t know how to name it) is also misplaced. the fire on the lava tiles does look a bit unrealistic, since these tiles are made for the background. and the fire that goes up in that machine looks a bit ugly, in my opinion.

    Some things About Originality

    Not much but just to say only one thing:
    pretty original but the amount of events(most of the events are pretty usless like the airboard and hurt events) and the new ideas of eyecandy weren’t that good, which ruins your grade for a bit.

    Download Recommendation?

    No, the design was “okay” for a level around the 6, but the eyecandy and gameplay parts and useless events ruines the level a bit

    don’t ask me why to write a quite long review for a level like this, but i just don’t want you to make these mistakes again.. i hope u use this review to make your new level better.

    I also hope you make effort on you’re skills so u can get me suprised..

    Well, we’ll see ;D
    maybe i will write another review for your next level,.. who knows…. ;o
