I think that we have a new master here. Tileset called Heaven is the third masterpiece of Agama. The tileset is drawed pixel by pixel, and it looks amazing. The background clouds are smashing. But I wonder why Agama didn’t do his own warpbackground, Heaven has Carrottus’ w-background. Otherwise the tileset is so darn cool. Lots of eye candy. Agama has made too a nice single player example level what shows the using of the tileset.

Heaven is made by a professional tileset maker/drawer. It is in the same league where Mez’s tilesets are. And I have to confess that these tilesets are way better than mine.

Megacal and Megasaz have been given low status for cheating the level system more then once.

Sorry guys, try not to open double accounts or tell your friends to sabotage the downloads.

I am impressed. While this level is merely avrage, it is quite rare for a first level to be that good. I was extremely suprised to see that you used the tileset properly for the most part. Keep working on levels, because I believe you are able to improve your skills beond what I have seen. Unfortunately, this level begs for a better layout, and it requires some usage of destruct scenery on the signs, one way events on the branches, and better eyecandy. I also sugest that you put a bit less text in your future levels, as they can get quite annoying.

I found it quite hard to move around in this level. Study the layout of better levels, and see what works. When you finish your level, be sure that you test it extensively to make sure it is easy and fun to play in. I sugest using more platforms.

This level doens’t really have anything totally unique in it, but that is OK because few levels do. You should keep making levels, and try to improve your level making ability.

About time i reviewed this…

Sonic the Hegdehog and Jazz Jackrabbit, how many SP packs have been made with those two together? (don’t answer that)

OK, the 5 levels in this demo are well done, except the labyrinth level, too open. The gameplay is quite easy, finding trigger crates in various places, finding your way through the levels…That’s basicly it.

Since this is a demo, i’ll give it a 7 for now.

Wow…

Not only do you manage to turn each of your sets into a true work of art, you do it at lightspeed as well. What is it? A new tileset every month, maybe?

As for this particular set…
this IS ancient egypt jazz-style (I love all the bunny murals and statues). I was planning to make an egypt set myself. I’m not so sure anymore…:D
The village is also very cool.

If I would have to think of one thing that could have been better (but this is really nitpicking) you could have made some more of the egyptian gods (not just Anubis lying down and the cat-god statue).

a well deserved 9.5. :)

Not that there’s a chance anyone will read this but I thought I’d review this, since I forgot when downloading.

The file contains two tilesets and only two tilesets, nothing more which is very bad. No readme or example level that is…

The set itself looks like a paint-made one to me. I don’t really like the thing…. They just don’t have what it takes…

So it will get a 6.

The idea to put the bases behind springs that need to be frozen is better than most longer game attempts (mainly bonus warps).
I haven’t seen many levels in D.A.M.N. Tileset either so Ill give this a good ol’ 7.2

Hmm this review was a bit on the short side.
I think the weapon placement is okay too.[This review has been edited by BlackDeath]

That’s because this one wasn’t finished yet when I uploaded the other, but hey, if I were to add them both the file would have been a bit big.

For: Catacombs Duel
Level rating: 7.1
Rating
6.5

First of all, EvilMike gets what he deserves: -0.5 points for not including a single player level start! :-O
As for the level…indeed, “Catacombs Duel” will be a great choice for all us JDC duelists. The level is quite small (70*30 tiles), full of well-placed ammo and it has a very circular layout. The layer work is pretty good looking (nice arrangements in both, fore- and background).
The music from Jazz1 (song17.s3m) also fits very good for the Medivo tileset.

To sum it up: “Catacombs Duel” is a very nice duel level. You can DOWNLOAD iT, if you like :-) Really! (could have been a 7 as well but i’m not in the generous mood today…bad luck)

P.S.: By the way…including two versions (one with a coinwarp and one without) doesn’t make too much sense in my opinion.[This review has been edited by Aiko]

Hmmm, seems like i missed something. Or it’s just my different taste: i didn’t find anything creative, original or exciting in this battle level (by the way, the dull level names really start to annoy me). Tube Electric also begins to bore me, the design may be okay (not really “awesome”, ShanD) but the eyecandy isn’t worth mentioning (well, you have to use foreground layers for the tubes…:-). Ammo placement is average or a tad below.
The copter event is totally useless because Lori can not grab it.

Overall, the level is only a small bit above the average in my opinion. Download or not…decide for yourself (battle fanatics or collectors might need it).

Apart from all that, don’t hang your head because of my blabla…if it’s your first level, it’s pretty good i’d say! Keep on JCSing, Matjong!

“DarkShadow’s Level Pack” (very dull name, sorry) consists of three fresh & decent battle maps that make use of the above mentioned tilesets. Even if it’s not my personal favourite, it was a good idea to use the underused Psych tileset!
The layout is very good in all three levels and so is the eyecandy (some very nice arrangements!). Not to forgot the weapon placement. There are some minor problems like one or two dead ends or other things i dislike, but overall its definitely fun to play in these levels. Only problem is: you need a lot of people because the levels are quite large (esspecially in width not so much in height), some people may find them too large (depends on how crowded your server is, i think).
Regarding the music, Darkshadow also did a good job. He included Skaven’s very 133t “Amazonas” which was part of one his first (and only?) musicdisks.
Then again, the size of the readme file horrified me (don’t do that again, please)!

Still, this is really WORTH THE DOWNLOAD! “DarkShadow“s Level Pack” is a MUST for all you battle fans! (I’m very undecided between 7 and 7.5 here, i may change the rating anytime :-)[This review has been edited by Aiko]
