I promised a review here, but I can’t guarantee that It’ll be a good one….
The eyecandy is nice in the level, and has a great theme, however I say its heavily drawn back by the limitations of the tileset. Still feels nice nonetheless. What is missing? I think perhaps an emphasis on when you are nearing a pit, though I’m not quite sure how I’d emphasize such a thing with a tileset… Maybe putting some sort of food near the pits and there only, to signify danger? I’m not sure.
The gameplay is great, yet the layout can be confusing as with the placement of perhaps the carrots. I’ve played the map several times and still feel like I may not have learnt it properly, but again I blame the tileset for this for not allowing for as much variation as possibly intended. The level looks different from place to place, but some areas just confused me and reminded me of another part of the level. As for small tricks and gameplay gimmicks, I’d rate this high for the execution. Furthermore, PIT:nice.
This level should and will be played in JDC events and there is a great reason for that. The level is perfect for such an occasion. I still feel like I missed the point and haven’t learnt the level to its fullest. Please download, and play.
