Well, I’ve seen a few X-mas packs and believe me, this one’s a huge disappointment

First of all, the levels (3 in total):
The first two are completely the same, only the enemies change. They are too short, too liniar, hardly any eye candy, too many power-ups of the same kind (maybe it’s for Co-op, i dunno). Need i say more? O yeah, one more thing: the music is missing.

Sorry, can’t give you higher than a 4 for this.

I completely agree with you, JelZe. From the looks of these levels, they were assembled in haiste, and are generally sloppy. In some parts while walking on the ground, you can see the sky underneath it because it is only one or two tiles thick. Also, half of the levels are catipillars which don’t do any damage and just make the level take longer to beat. I see some ideas in this level that may make a good one in the future, but please take more time while making levels.

“The Xmas Pack” (promising title, isn’t it?) doesn’t have much to offer except horrible tile- and event placement (i never saw a level where the smoking guy was used so senseless!). Really, there are a whole lot of places in the level that look very unfinished. Anyways, it uses the good JJ1 Holiday Hare “Christmas Pack” tileset edit by Astronia (one of the very few good ideas the author came up with here). For some reason, the second level is like the first one, it only uses a different daytime (brighter colours etc.). Bores me. As JelZe said, a background music is completely missing. The next level setting of the last level is also wrong. I can only fully agree with the advice EvilMike gave in the last lines of his review. Downloading this would be a waste of bandwidth and diskspace.

P.S.: Don’t name your filenames “start.j2l” next time. Causes problems because there are a lot of level that use that name already :-)
