I have made a new review roster to use for myself. This makes it fairly hard to get a high rating from me from now on…
Story:
Single level story. Orginal, has nothing to do with Devan, but lacks creativity and any form of depth – but considering it is a single-level story and because most of the sixteen text strings seem to be used anyway, this doesn’t weigh as much as it could.
Thus, that being said, despite the flaws; 7/10
Eyecandy:
Orginal tileset, but very bland. Not enough foregrounds. Very little use of layer three, only for hiding secrets which is fine when looking to the tileset used. It could still be more.
5/10 —-> 7/10
Music:
Orginal and fits the level. I never heard it before and I liked it. This might be a reason to download the level, just for the damn music file.
10/10
Gameplay elements…
Level layout and such:
The boss in the end failes to come up, and without looking in the editor thanks to that password, the “end level” trigger is nowhere to be found.
Enemies where fine, but could be a lot more; especially on hard. It was a level which is easy to run through save the boll-platform pits which move too fast. Also, there are too many poles near the first pit.
4/10 —-> 5/10 —-> 6/10
Pickup placement:
Ammo was fine, more than enough to deal with the enemies. Enough food and gems. However, carrots and crates were nowhere to be found, even after the level edit.
4/10 —-> 6/10
Enemy placement:
Allright. It could still be better, but it is better than it was when you uploaded the level for the first time.
4/10 —-> 8/10
Replay value:
Secrets, coins, and other stuff are no actually everywhere. You actually can replay this level now to find all the secrets. I found two on the first run but there are likely a lot more. They
Sorry; 1/10 —-> 6/10
35/70 —-> 50/70
Penalties (bugs, unplayable with Lori, and other things like that):
The end-level-trigger was nowhere to be found: -0.5
—- Fixed!
-0
7.2/10
DR: Yes, with the new edit. It is a lot better than before and it has enough orginality, at least to play it once, maybe even to play it a second- or third time.
Revieuw editted at 5th April because the level has been changed.
