yahoo a jungle lvl!
k here goes

a very confusing lvl, with dead ends, missused tiles, confusing layers (for example a hill with water on it i tohugh i could splash into it but instead i fell down a hole :( )

-weapons placement is pretty decent, u can grab some any time

-eyecandy..well..lets just say it could have been better, but still its quite ok.

the lvl had a pretty strange layout, with a long pit and away to the right in the bottom of the lvl, and a confusing climb to the top :S

lvl music is nice, but doesnt fit the jungle lvl..

overall…5.7 (ure improving)

Whoo. I’m still wondering how Derby can write long reviews like that :)

Anyway, the tileset is very great. I really lov it. It has an good layout, with some VERY COOl tiles. I like that doors. The background is also cool. But the example level… Devils in heaven? Weird. I thought devils belong in hell ;). DOWNLAOD NOW! If yu don’t d/l this, you will miss one of the best jj2 tilesets ever.

Introduction to Heaven:

Heaven is a tileset which seems to take place in what lives up to the imagination of the tileset’s name: Heaven.

Content:

One GIF file, one example level, one tileset, one music file, and one readme file are included in this downloadable package.

Unbiased Review:

Tilesets, in an essence, are a lot easier to review than levels.

Design/Content: 2.5/2.5

Nothing vital was left out of this tileset; all of the tiles could make decent-looking platforms, walls, and event representations. This is a very well constructed tileset in terms of organization; each type of tile is organized into layers and use, or in other words, the correct way of organizing a tileset. Not only is there the required set of tiles that would be necessary to make level aspects, there were quite a few extras, as well.

Tile/Tile compatibility: 2.5/2.5

No words are necessary to convince you that this tileset can be used in a compatible and comfortable way. It’s your choice, this time, to decide whether the tiles would go together or not, since there are a variety of combinations that allow the level to look better, in any way. This tileset shouldn’t be very difficult to use, either.

Tile/Event Compatibility: 2.0/2.0

Not a lot of custom tilesets have an event specialty. For example, Tube Electric’s specialty was the sucker tubes, and Laboratory’s specialty was the use of belts. No custom tileset in the past has actually demonstrated a specialty like this one; and none have demonstrated an original one, not familiar to the original specialties. This tileset uses keys and doors wisely for trigger zones. This already jolts the rating to the maximum this category can get for this standard. However, for a tileset in a league of its own, it would get a two, anyway. Aside from this, there are also other neat things such as the shooting statues, that assure this tileset it’s maximum score in this category.

Event/event compatibility: 1.0/1.0

The event/event compatibility in tilesets isn’t as important as the rest of the tileset. In any case, the potential this tileset has of expressing events is remarkable. This tileset allows enough space for certain extra events to be used well. The example level also showed this, as demons and triggers weren’t any problem at all. This is why you should always include an example level. Not only does it give the reviewers a break, the tileset looks more convincing to use.

Layer use: 1.0/1.0

There isn’t a layer you can’t use with this tileset, as the content is compatible with just about everything it is dealt. This isn’t a great deal for most tilesets to overcome, though. As seen in the example level, the author was able to use every layer wisely. Balanced out, it may be hard for this tileset to give you an eyesore.

Game compatibility: 1.0/1.0

I discovered no problems with this tileset’s compatibility with the game. This tileset is also flexible with a nice amount of animating tiles that you can use, shown by the example level.

Overall rating: 10.0/10.0

This tileset is out of its own league. A rating of 10 is considered “excellent”.

Biased Review:

You won’t find many tilesets more encouraging with this, in my opinion.

Reusability: 5.0/5.0

This tileset could be used a lot (in a good way, of course) and it wouldn’t get as boring as most tilesets. I believe this tileset should be considered for making several levels. There isn’t much more to say about this tileset’s reusability.

Estimated maximum reuses: 50

My opinion on this tileset: 5.0/5.0

This tileset rivals the official tilesets, if not surpasses them. The concept is great, and quite original. It’s graphically pleasing and encouraging when it comes to level construction. Since I need to follow the grading standards, the rating
system, and rating scale, this tileset can get no more than a ten.

My overall rating: 10.0/10.0*

Seeing this tileset pleased me. At last, I’ve seen something new that’s actually good.

True rating: 10.0/10.0*

This tileset outweighed the scale, which made the ratings seem pretty obvious.

Summary:

Heaven is a tileset with an original concept at show. Download this tileset now, if you haven’t already. This is the
suit that new tilesets should follow, as I’ve seen many other great tilesets in the past. Also, the music that’s included fits the tileset pretty well.

What could be improved?

You might want to add more keys, locks, and types of doors, as this tileset can have a few more tiles. If you don’t
mind taking extra time, you can change some colors and shading, and add a night version of the tileset, making it
seem as if it were an official tileset set.

Interesting fact:

This tileset adapts to a common imagination of Heaven, and takes its place in the clouds.

  • Only the unbiased rating counts towards the site’s review rating system.

Wow! I’m impressed! But when I think of heaven, I think of Cloud Walls and floors. This is more like an Angelic Temple in the sky than Heaven. Altough It is an Excelent Tileset, and I think that the Example level was Excellent (Although the keys returned after gotten, that’s a small bug). This Tileset has a TON of eyecandy, And that is someting That some of us Jazzers (cough*Steveo*cough) are Biased with. I love it, but It’s name doesn’t fit. This 9.7 would fit perfectly.

The most amazing tileset I’ve seen in a very very long time. Example level makes great use of the tileset and shows how the set can be used. You need to download this.

yeah….good tileset and a good level.
But “Example level” isn’t a name for a level, is it?
The layout is very good and good eyecandy. The music is also good.
But someting else.You say it’s a battle level? hmm….it’s more trainings level i suppoose.

I recommend downloading this.

(I recommend downloading this too, but that doesn’t make up for the fact this (otherwise acceptable) review doesn’t talk about the tileset itself. And you are reviewing the tileset here. Rating removal. ~Violet)[This review has been edited by Violet CLM]
