This may look cool but is completely unplayable. The layout consists of seemingly randomly placed platforms and the gameplay is based on maintaining control over a single area that contains both the level’s only powerup and its only carrot. Needless to say, your start position might settle the match. Also, the masking is extremely inconsistent.

EDIT: Yeah, Master sven, but did you read the whole review? There’s the real rating at the bottom.
This review has two versions: Honest and Newcomer. One is more harsh than the other, but for a newcomer to battle level’s sake (I know you’re not that new to it, but still, it has the feel of a newbie) I have posted the Newcomer rating as the main one.
Newcomer…
Eyecandy
Good concept, but poorly executed. Eyecandy, at a glance, looks very overpowering and overbearing, but good. Then we get into the level and find out that the eyecandy kind of obstructs the level. Blocks ammo and stuff.
5/10
Layout
Meh. Normal. And small.
6/10
Gameplay
Rather decent. There are 4? fastfires on the top of the level, toaster ammo below the FFs, RFs at the bottom, and seeker in a small room. Unfortunately, there is only one place for most ammo, forcing you to go to that specific area. More variety = More gameplay possibilities. Good maps like Happy Semiconductor CTF or Sanguinary Sanctuary all have ammo scattered everywhere. OK, maybe not scattered, you get my point.
Also, no Power-Ups?
7/10
Extra points
Lack of One-Way where actually needed. -0.5
Total
6.5/10
Harsh
Obstructive eyecandy, too small layout, not enough ammo, not enough variety, sucks.

@Sean,
There is a powerup. You just have to look for it.
As for size, it’s supposed to be a 1-on-1 duel level, not a melee brawl. I already explained this, so what the heck
The eyecandy may be a little ‘overpowering’, but it’s not oppressive. I thought I did an adequately good job, to be perfectly honest.
I expected my level to get this type of review, I really did. But please be accurate in your review.
Sean, your review looks like a newcomer’s. To be honest, it sucks.
