Don’t upload betas.

Please remember to include all the tilesets.

Story
There isn’t one so i won’t rate.

Eyecandey
Very plain. We got a layer 8 space background that moves. Layer 3 is boring and doesn’t use many tiles. It’s also looks empty. The flame animations don’t have enough frames and look weird as they don’t loop properly. Not much is used in lyaer 3. Boring eyecandey.
1/10
Gameplay
Again boring. All you do is destroy a crate, drop down, then run to a wall and it stops there. You can find some coins and enter a warp but there’s no need as there’s nothing to defeat. Most of the coins are also to easy to get to.
1/10
Enemy Placement
Non so no points.
0/10
Pickups
Poor. small amount, power-ups in open area, little bit of food, coins. That’s all I can think of. Oh and little ammo.
1/10

Boredom strikes again.

Story
Isn’t one so I won’t rate.

Eyecandey
Oh boy! This is WORSE then the bare basics, You got platforms with tilebugs floating in this air and a plain background. No foreground. Next topic!
1/10
Gameplay
All you do is run right, using cheats to complete it. The thing is, you don’t need cheats to win. also, why would I want to play a level where it want’s me to cheat. The boss is also boring. You can also fall off the level.
1/10
Pickups
Mainly come from cheating.
1/10
Enemies
Just a bunch of tuff turtles and a boss.
1/10

I think this has gone long enough without a proper review.

What this is
This is basically a conversion of a level form Megaman. I’ve never played it so I don’t know how accurate it is, so I’ll just go by my standers.

Tiles
Well not bad at all. We got the basics, slopes, and regular land tiles. We got mechanical layer 5 type caves, electricity. For the background we got a plain sky, (Textured would be nice) sun, buildings, clouds and a city. We got layer 3 Fences and other stuff. We got hooks, spikes, destruct blocks that look great and look like 8 bit, vines, flashing arrows and a little dancing Megaman. You can make a decent level with this tileset and I don’t know how it stacks up with the real thing, but I think the tiles are good. A little more eycandey stuff would be nice but you got everything you need to make a good level. pallets are also nice.
7/10
Animations
Not much is given. all there is electricity, arrows and the dancing Mega man. what is there works though and like I said, I don’t know how many animations there were in the game. Still, what’s there, works.
7/10
Colors
I won’t rate because I don’t know what the Original looked like. What is there looks nice though.
Pallet Events
Won’t rate because nothing was put in to make them work. (I don’t think he was going for that.)
Masking
Masking is pretty much perfect with everything masked properly. great job!
10/10
Reusability
You can make a lot with this. I can thing of a base, outdoor city, mixture, battle in the sky and probably more. Good job there!
8/10

Final Score: 32/40
Score: 8.2
Rank: B
DR? Yes. this is a nice conversion and you can do quite a bit with it. I look forward to your next conversion!

WOOOW!!
Well that was an experience..
The name isn’t quite good because those levels didn’t look like a labyrinth at all(laberinto means labyrinth for those who don’t know).
First the levels had no story at all.

The eyecandy was horrible. There were lots of bugs even in the background. The tileset wasn’t properly used. It was very linear, every level looked like another one except diferent tileset, or rain , or some edits. In one level i’ve accidentally discovered a Xmas Bilsy(ADDON Dog) and that was a surprise.(Tip: Don’t use that without boss activation)

The gameplay….. I don’t know… The spikes don’t hurt, there are butterfly/beeboys on the ground you forgot to mask the hats, no triggers, a warp required a jjcoins cheat the text strings are in spanish ,The boss arena was very short:You just come and then the boss activates etc

Enemy placement was bad : Mostly Catterpilars with a mix of other things included a Xmas Bilsy.
Goodies: Not to much of that either

Score:Bad

Dl Rec? no. Sorry!I hate doing it.
You should try to fix these levels. They are more than a mix of tilesets. You have to put some of your soul in it and after you upload them you just have to wait.

Just don’t download this. 4 extremely linear levels and one boring Boss battle.
All you do is run right, drop down, run left and get to the exit.
In the 3rd level you had a Coin warp but there are no Coins. In the textstring you say to cheat to enter the warp. I know it’s not English but I can clearly see the cheat code.
1/10 -> Bad

why do people insist of upload pictures that have nothing to do with the download?

Also what’s with all the download that are beginning with lab?

Anyhow.

Story
No story is given so I won’t rate that.

Eyecandey
Oh come on. what’s with the slew of bad uploads? Eyecandey in all the levels are horrible. Pretty much ALL the levels have background tilebugs. Sure the background is textured but that’s not going to save you. Not much in layer 3 except in toe rain levels. Even the rain looks bad as it is poorly animated. Layer 4 is full of tilebugs in all the levels with platforms floating in thin air, bad animations, repetitive eyecandey, tons of tilebugs and overall laziness.
1/10
Gameplay
This can be put down as simply running left or right, jumping and shooting. No puzzles are present. the spikes in one of the levels don’t hurt you because the they don’t have any hurt events on them. The boss arena is boring and you can jump the activate boss events and shoot him to death without activating him. the text isn’t in English so I couldn’t read them but like Spaz said, one of the warps requires you to use the jjcoins cheat. (Now THAT’s lazy) I really don’t know what else to say.
1/10
Enemie placement
There isn’t a lot of them around and a lot of them don’t fit. there are a lot of caterpillars and a huge mixture of enemies, including ones that don’t work. One level even had a Blisy boss put in the path so you hit with without knowing it. there isn’t enough to kill me and a lot of them don’t fit. (Or don’t work)
1/10
Pickup Placement
The only ting that had anything items was the bonus warp that you need to cheat to get to. Nothing else is present.

Again bored out of my mind so it’s time for another round of Rate that crappy download!

The review
Normally I split up my review to make it easier to read, but I can sum everything up here. It’s just a bunch of random pictures put in a tileset with the email of the author. The message says to email him on how to make a tileset but how are you supposed to learn from this. He doesn’t know that much as you can tell because there’s no mask and the black isn’t replaced. If I wanted to learn, I’d talk to a professional tileset maker like Blade.

Level rating: 2.3

1.5

I’m completely bored right now so I think I’ll write a random review.

What this is
This is supposed to be Gerudo Valley tileset and when i first saw the name, I thought this was going to be sort of rip from the game. I was dead wrong. This is a cheep MS paint job that you can barley call a tileset. Still, could be much worst.
What this contains
Ok where to begin. To start off there is an animated periscope at the top of the tileset. It looks bad as there’s no shading on them. Next there’s an animated text sign that has THE LONGEST animation sequence I’ve ever seen in a tileset. It takes up almost 6 rows! There’s no need. then there’s some ground or sand but there’s no shading making it look bad. Then there’s a sun and clouds for some eyecandey. There’s some diamond things and poles I think. Mountains that look the same as the ground. then there’s some bricks and a bunch of letters. A background that completely sucks and if it worked as a textured background I would piss myself. then there’s some stuff about the author and that’s it. There’s also some grass. The tiles don’t look that good but at least there are some basics in there.
3/10
Pallet Events
Um….the jazz pallet is fine.
1/10
Mask
Atuo-mask nuff said.
Reusability
It’s more of a factor of would you even us it. If you do, your choices are very limited and nothing that good can come out of it. Even the example level can’t make this tileset look good.
1/10

Final Score:5/30
Score:1.5
Rank: F
DR? Normally I would say to keep trying but since this was uploaded in 2002, (I’m writing this this in 2009) I can say this tileset is really bad and I couldn’t say yes to download. Download if you want to see the longest text animation you’ve ever seen, but other then that, no.

I might expand my review here later but for now I’m just dropping off this 8.0 for fear of this disappearing down the list of downloads without as much as a rating. While not the most visually stunning or conceptually innovative level, Black Ninja very much achieves what he set out to do in creating this level – namely, producing a worthy successor to the earlier levels in the once quite popular Wind Meister series, and, more importantly, just giving us one goddamn hard test level.

I was around in the days the first Wind Meister levels were made and while I never managed to get very far in them I always used to have a ton of fun with ‘em regardless. Wind Meister 4 certainly lives up to the precedent set by Black Ninja’s older work, and that alone, combined with a rocking background track by PT32 and perhaps also influenced by a bit of nostalgia constitutes a solid 8.0 and a download recommendation. Granted, if you’re not into test levels this probably isn’t for you, but as far as test levels go this is obviously about as good as it gets.

Incidentally, it’s funny how even when I try my best to keep my comments in a review to a bare minimum I still vastly exceed the quick review max character count. ;P

Very impressive, I enjoyed this very much. Sample choice is nice, and I love what you did with a lot of the parts. Would’ve sounded AWESOME if you added like a distortion effect in parts of the song to the oldschool JJ1 drumline. But awesome. I really loved the intro the most, too. Great first impression, comes off strong.
