Simple and inoffensive, but quite well done nonetheless. There are some interesting visual experiments, most notably the pond, although in some places they come off as messy. Layout and general gameplay is very good, no complaints there.
Hosted this level online today for 10 minutes… Was pretty fun.

I can say just one word: Amazing.
While this is not one of Snooze’s best levels, it’s still pretty good. The eye candy is really good.. very good usage of the cave tiles. The layout is pretty simple but easy to learn. There is not that much ammo, but it respawns quickly so there will always be enough. Overall, just another good level by Snooze. Download recommended.
Another level I really liked in the Bash.

Eyecandy:
Well, the tileset has its issues. Sometimes it looks boring but Snooze tried to make the best out of it. The pond was an interesting expiriment… I actually think it turned out nice.
The caves were very nice.
The vines were placed awkward but once you realized they were there, they did not cause problems at all. A better tileset could’ve helped but I do not penalize on tilesets here.
8,5/10
Gameplay:
Well, it worked all pretty nicely. The warp, the fall-through-ground and the suckertube w/o being clear that they were there, made it a bit messy but again, once you got to know them you could use those at will. They’re NOT noob-friendly, but noobs who learn this map should be capable of learning them without too much hassle.
8,5/10
Pickup placement
Very well done, though I think the RF PU in the pond is a bit
too powerful because the map has long, open, horizontal paths where you can blast those RF’s through (even moreso as Jazz and Lori because they can copter and thus fire RF’s even when going upwards the slightly sloped hill).
8,5/10
Replay value:
It is a great map which can definately be in a mappool. It is very well playable with either Jazz, Spazz and Lori and not too difficult to learn if you have more brains than a monkey.
8,5/10

Comment edited, original one was too heavy-handed.

I write the following text in Finnish, because of this downloads sender to understand it.
Tämä on tosi hyvä taso! Annoin kympin, koska se on vaan niin hyvä.
Words “sovun valtakunta” is finnish.
