HOLY COW!!!
“Egypt” is another completely breathtaking tileset production from Prague. It comes in two versions (Night and Day) and both of them contain about 1000(one thousand!!!) incredibly beautiful, supposedly self-drawn tiles showing scenes from the oriental life! Reminds me, as a passionate platform freak, of Prince of Persia or Aladdin.
The set includes all kinds of useful tiles like vines, poles, keys, spikes, destruction scenery tiles, animations and so on and so on. It has lots of different structures for both, foreground and background layers…it’s too much to list here, really. Apart from that, the masking is very good, too.
The author also jampacked the ZiP file with two very cool Treasure Hunt levels that give a great impression of whats possible with this tileset. Level design (weapon placement etc.) and eyecandy are just brilliant. Really.
Agama also included two awesome music files in the pack: “Midnight in Arabia” by Mystical/Purple from Denmark (which was a multichannel compo entry at The Party 6 back in 1996) and ZARATHUSTRA by DRAX of MANIACS of NOISE. Very oldskool!!! Just my style! And the theme of both tracks fits perfectly for Agama’s levels and the whole tileset.
Well, i don’t have much to add here…if you ever had any interest in Jazz Jackrabbit 2, the computer game, you simply HAVE TO DOWNLOAD the “Egypt” tileset by Agama. Wow! Just WOW! It looks so darn cool!!!
A pretty good level overall. Good eyecandy, good design. I only found the background(=somewhat non-existant) a little dull.
The design was pretty good. Not breathtaking tough.
The eyecandy is pretty good too.
It’s cool that you have put a readme file in the zip, but next time don’t waste your time on graphics.. and make it a pure ascii file. The word document and it’s layout add nothing but extra kilobytes to the size of the zip file.
The music choice is very bad. Please do not chose hardrock/hardcore or anything to the extreme to a level because not everybody likes such styles. Instead put up styles that aren’t disliked by people who dislike those styles(ie: they don’t work on your nerves)[This review has been edited by Fquist]
Dozens of bugs and very bad eyecandy make my score go down a lot. You really should spend more time on your levels.
Also, there’s a difference between a fun amount of enemies and a ridiculous amount of enemies. Make the player have fun. Spend more time on the placement of the enemies.
This is on lots of other sites :-0
it has a great background and the 2 levels were carefully done great level and tileset Agama
Whoa

Great Tileset!
I really like the backrounds.

For a first level this is very good.
The eyecandy isn’t spectacular, and it has some repetition, but overall I really like the design. It’s very circular. And that is good.
This level could have been made a lot better. The layout is fine, and the level isn’t ugly, but the layout and eyecandy aren’t great either. Some areas could have used sloped tiles (I don’t think there was a single one in this level :( ) and could have used some springs here and there. The tileset was used properly which is good, but the graphics are rather dull and monotonus. Every part looks pretty much the same. It is also fairly easy to move downwards through the level, but not easy to go upwards. I am not sure if that is intended or not, but I think it would be a bit more fun to move around the level easier.
To improve this level, I sugest throwing in some animated torches, use more background and foreground layers, some cracks in the walls, and more springs.
There is camping in the level with the coin warp :P. People can just hide up there getting health.
He Guys
U always say the platform disappears and u don’t like it… That is the idea of the lvl.
It is race lvl. The tiles count till the disappear so u had to run to the next basic platform.
I like the use of the tileset. Hey, it’s original. And theres almost to camping. I like it :)
Thank you for all your reviews.I made this quite some time ago,So yes Aiko my tileset skills have improved quite a bit.heh,And I bearly put any effort into this set…It only took me 2 days to do…or was it just a day…?O well,I have a really awesome tileset coming up that I am working on.I expect it to be finished around next week or so.
This idea is nice I think, making levels especially for duels. The music is good and not much to say about. The level is a bit too small mabye, but the background makes it come good together. Well, nice level I must say, but nothing really speciall overall. Good job.
Words are not enough to describe what has been uploaded here.
The tilesets are great, the levels are great, the music is great…
The only drawback is the way jcs handles tilesets, it causes the tileset here to be a bit hard to use, as the tiles cannot be placed next to each other quite as they should be.
Agama, if you are reading this, then you should consider a feature in artwork/design, you have the talent to make it.
There is only one righteous rating for this….
Man, this file is on (almost) every site, Even mine!, What could i do with it, everyone has it!
That’s why i’m givin it a 1! :p
Nah…… i won’t rate it
