Whew! I admit i’m quite surprised. “Brotherhood Of Death Level” sounded like another crappy newbie production put together in five minutes. But in contrast: this little battle level using the very underused “Psych” tileset is full of great looking new ideas.

The design is very “tight” and it has a very good event (the pinball paddles were used well here f.e.), weapon and goodie placement. Even better, the layer arrangements looks really really darn cool (Super Saiyan tried to hide a lot of things etc.). Very good eyecandy without any doubt, the author shows us impressively what is possible with “Psych”.
And, by the way, the included Bitmap map of the level is a nice idea, too.

As a conclusion to my review, i can only give out a STRAiGHT DOWNLOAD RECOMMENDATiON here. Really, you won’t regret it. You will finally play something original again and battle fun is garuenteed…good work, Super Saiyan!

Happy Birthday!
To the review…
A pretty good pack featuring a good amount of levels (Good use of different tilesets too). They are kinda big, so this is especially fun to play with more than 4 people. However, I do have some complains:
-levels are most of the time chaotic. Too much layers, stuff, walls and roads used in a small area. This makes it kinda hard to explore.
-Don’t overdo eyecandy. Don’t place a million of the same censored next to each other. Don’t put a million STOP signs next to each other. Don’t overdo.

so…layout/playability wasn’t that great. Weapon placement was good (maybe even excellent). Overall: a good pack. Everyone should download it, and not just ‘cos its your birthday ;)

To start my review, i wanted to say that i am hpy to see such quality levels here. ‘The future evolution’ by ShadowGpW is a incredible CTF pack. With this, Shadow once again proves that he is one of the very greatest level designers ever. Eyecandy was beautiful. Shadow made terific use of the ‘Tubelectric’ tileset by epic, and the ‘Cyberspaz 1A’ and ‘Cyberspaz 2V’ stes by his (ex)fellow Mystic Legends member Dethman. I liked the space ships flying across the screen in ‘Forcedraw’. The names for the level, ‘Shockwave’, ‘Forcedraw’ and ‘Waste house’ where also pretty creative, and as you know, every quality level needs a good level name:P. The design was very fluent and circular, with tubes used in lots of places, and was very well playeble. The ammo placement was also good. I relay enjoyed this. New ideas everywhere. The whole thing also used 3 terific music files, ‘The genesis factor’ and ‘The digital dawn’ by Sorath, and ‘Tempest 2000’ by Wessy. The music files fit like nothing else would. I higly recomend this to everyone. ‘Nuff said.[This review has been edited by >CelL<]

These are 5 pretty nice battle levels by our old mate Whitey. Each level has good eyecandy. The level ‘Scraper city’ was probably my favorits, it has mostly everything for a good quality level. The other levels shouldnt be forgoten though. For every level, Whitey used some pretty sweet tracked music, Iggelkotarnas rike(kingdom of the hedgehoags) by Daniel Falk to name one. The music goes perfectly with the levels, and i recomend yu to play with music on. Some very high quality tileset where used, like ‘building site’ by Toxic bunny and ‘MeZmErIzE’ by Dethman, wich is one of my favorite tilesets. The design of each level has mostly nothing wrng with it, and i have been unable to find any major bugs yet. The gameplay is pretty good, the levels where mostly designed pretty fluent, making the gameplay circular, and easy to battle in. The ammo placement is also good, not much wrong with it. There where some nice ideas used, even though i have seen some of them before. The faling ammo in ‘The waterfall and the undergrounbd TNT in ‘Under destruction’. Like i said before, i have not yet been able to find any major flaws in eyecandy or such. I am also glad to see quality tilesets sed, JJ2 still sufers from a lack of this. To conclude my review, i must recomend this battle pack to every well-tuned battle fan out there. Please allow me to give you a pretty high 8.2 in advance, for what i have seen ‘till now is pretty neat and cool looking.
EDIT: Don’t let mirrow fool you! His review may have been here first, but it wasnt there when i started writting:D[This review has been edited by >CelL<][This review has been edited by >CelL<]

Cool Lvl Pack Whiterabbit !!!

These lvls really rock. You got some original ideas for example the rabbit in the townhouse or the waterfall lvl.
You also used very less used sets like “Building site” or “Townhouse”. Maybe the lvls could be a bit bigger .

Download this !!!

Btw. Happy Birthday ;)[This review has been edited by mirrow]

Ghosty, do not let being member of someones clan and/or liking someone afect your ratings. Its not fair:P. Now about the level. This level, using the pretty hard to use Psych tileset by Epic, is realy a fine quality level. It has some destructeble blocks, wich i dont ‘totaly go for’ in battle levels(even ‘tho i used them in the past:P), but i guess its ok. The design is not too bad, only with a few obstacles sadly. The eyecandy is pretty good, but way confusing. I dont like the extreme lighting at some points, it hrealy has the potential to blind me. Super saiyen also used 2 caterpillers, wich was’nt a good idea to me, ‘cuz those moke rings make you dizzy, and pretty unable to fight for a few seconds, wich afects the gameplay. There where gems used, wich i cant realy understand, since the upload type was specified as ‘battle’, ut i guess it was ment so that you can host this as treasure hunt too. Wich is good, we dont get many treasure levels here these days:D. The overall level is small, but still pretty well designed, with no dead ends(atleast not that i noticed) and so, making it pretty circular. I cant realy understand why this was uploaded under the name ‘Brother hood of death level’, the name clearly is ‘Maniacland’, but that wont afect my rating. Its a 7.5 and a download recomendation.

Lol. This is the funniest upload I’ve seen in a while, and that gets you extra points.

The whole level has you on a skateboard, skateboarding around on jumps and stuff. Plus, silly text events are added to help the general feeling. The bad part is the tileset.

It’s mostly tiles from 7th Lava Fall, by Dethman of ML. There are also some funny screenshots of colored rabbits, in excellect poses. But I think you didn’t upload the most recent version of the tileset, because there are lots of those tiles that are just two pure white lines forming a right angle. A frog can not move while on top of one, and you have froggy going on one. -1.0

I give you a 7.0 for the sheer feel/humor of it all, and -0.3 for the copied 7th Lava Fall tiles. :-D

A pretty nice litle level. Its very easy(must be Epics influence:P), pretty short. A real run-through level. The design is pretty good, only the sides of some walls looked unfinished from time to time. Its, like i said, way to easy. I finished it in 2 minutes just for the sake of being able to write a review about it. But its still good. Epic-quality(i wonder why:D). Go get this clasic right now. You may regret it, but somehow, i dont think you will.

Oh, blimey! Here we go again…another fantastic tileset by Agama…you know, I must stop throwing 9.0+ ratings around…oh well, nm. Let’s get on with the review.

Agama’s new tileset has got an incredible long name: Swamps of The Sleeping Jaguar and the contents is even more incredible. There are three different versions of the tileset. Day, evening and of course night. Each of them has the same amount of tiles and holds the most fabulous textured tiles I’ve ever seen. The animations has got very high quality and the background/foreground tiles are absolutely marvellous.

Now then, let’s split the review up a little:

Eyecandy.
Basic tiles.
Walking blox.
Platforms.
Backgrond/foreground tiles.
Other tiles.
There ya go! :-)

EYECANDY
Well, what should I say? The eyecandy is as good as it can be. Green, muddy grass, big trees and tree stumps, two kinds of rain, pools of water, sleeping jaguars and spider webs. There’s simply nothing more to say. Oh, and not to mention those quite little jaguars with their heads sticking out of bushes, they’re very nice. :-)

BASIC TILES
They’re all there. Buttstomp, destruct, ? and all kinds of blox. They’re all there. Also, there’s of course rain, (which I mentioned in the section EYECANDY) poles, vines, text tiles and hurt tiles in form of a jaguar’s claws. Very nice and original. :-) Nothing more to say, really. Plz continue reading…

WALKING BLOX
Walking blox? Well, there are loads of stuff you can walk on here…grass, treestumps, rocks, wooden bridges, loads…loads…they’re so beautiful I’ve decided to be lazy and not write anything more. ;-P

PLATFORMS
Platforms? Well, there are loads of stuff you can make platforms of…grass, treestumps, rocks, wooden bridges, loads…loads…they’re so beautiful I’ve decided to be lazy and not write anything more. ;-P (BTW, this section is almost the same as the section above. ;-P)

BACKGROUND/FOREGROUND TILES
Wow! Highly detailed trees, roots and pools of water makes these background/foreground tiles one of the best!! Nothing more to say…

OTHER TILES
Other?? OOOH GOD!! I DON’T WANT TO CONTINUE THIS STUPID REVIEW ANYMORE!! GRRRRR

Here Agama, take this 9.7, it’s probably one of the last I’ll give…

Cheers,

White Rabbit.[This review has been edited by White Rabbit]

A pretty well designed single player level, and a very nice Halloween tileset. The level itself is very nicely made, it has good use of triger events and stuff. It has pretty well balenced enemy placement, and uses the tileset pretty well. The sticks with jazz and spaz’s head on e’m n the background looked pretty spiffy:D. The tileset itself is pretty well drawn, another set to make my homemade ones look like crap:P. It mostly has all stuff to make a basic level, and some other things too. Go download this litle (late) halloween present now.

A very coolish level Dats made. It uses the 7th lava fall tileset in a pretty inventive way. The level sorta gives you the feeling that you’r realy moving. Its got a pretty well selected music file. The ammo placement is once again very good. Download this nifty litle battle level now, if you did’nt do so already.

Tese are 2 fine CTF levels by Disguise, using the completely aswesome ‘Plastic dreams’ tileset by Comander Dats. The design, like Disguise said, is pretty diferent then his other levels, but its pretty darn good. The levels have got a good layout, but a few dead ends, mainly in ‘Divided dreadworks’(cool name:D), make it not to circular, wich made me lower my rating. The eycandy is good too, even ‘tho i still feel you could have done so much more with the tileset. Weapen placement and such is pretty well balenced, no complaints there. To sum it up, go download ‘Wiseys plastic CTF pack’ now, and host a li’ll CTF server with it if you have time.

BRILLIANT!!! THIS IS THE BEST TILESET EVER!!!!! NOT OOOONNNEEEEE THING WRONG!!! DRAWN PERFECTLY!!!!! I LOOOOVE THIS TILESET!!!!!!

If you do NOT!!! download this you are the STUPIDEST PERSON ALIVE!!!! This tileset can’t be beaten, I don’t think this tileset can EVER be beaten!!!

Aiko will break his own rules with this one. He will realize this is the MOST AWESOME SET IN THE WHOOOLE WORLD EVER and give it a 10! I know he will, he HAS to give it a 10, I can’t imagine it ever getting anything lower, it’s just amazing.

On a side note: This makes all the effort I put into my latest tileset look like newbie junk. Seriously, I was busy drawing about the same thing and this is just AMAZING compared to it!

—-==Review Edited==—-
Hmmm, it seems that the graphics are out of this world, but they hide many bugs. I ignored the few I saw in the example level and still gave it a 10, because a tileset that looks like this deserves it. However, the more I work with it the more I realise bugs are a serious problem, and some necessary tiles are missing. Next time, PLEASE make sure u fixed that before u upload another tileset.[This review has been edited by Disguise]

The tileset was made by Everlasting. Nice level. His name is specified in the tileset iself, guess you missed it
:-O. First, i would like the coment on the music choise: AwEsOmE! Celestial Fantasia is a incredible soundtrack, very fasttracked, perfect for race levels. Its one of my top 30 MODs, and that says A LOT. Now for the level. It uses Everlasting’s pretty cool “Jazzed realm” tileset. The dificulty level is pretty good. Things like “The stairs of recoil” and the “lap of orbits” are pretty hard to get out of. The ideas are very creative. I also liked the part named “Freezing touch”. It was’nt that origenal, but still pretty good. “The pit of rejection” was a litle easy to finish compared to the pther parts, but good i guess. The level has decent eyecandy, could be A LOT beter though. I personaly guess the best reasen to download this would be for the music, but still the level is very good. HigH eight points for this cool litle race level.[This review has been edited by >CelL<]

Level rating: 7.1

7.7

‘Dinner’ is a pretty good litle battle level by our old friend mirrow. The level shows a weird, sorta bizzar, but ‘diferent’ way to use the ‘Haunted house’ tileset from TSF. The whole levels design is pretty good, with a few dead ends, but thats not to much of a pitty. It has some pretty nice ideas, like a living vine, poping up and down out of the ground, that bat from the top of the clocktower flying acros the screen, and stuff like that. The eycandy is good, ‘diferent’ like i lready said:D. The ammo placement is good too, pretty well balenced. I only cant realy understand why this was called ‘dinner’. Explain:P. Overall, a 7.7 and a download recomendation.
