DOWNLOAD RECOMMENDATION?

No… not this time ;/

~Faw

Alright, so I downloaded both the instrumental and the normal versions of this song, and I have to say, not bad.

The fast rhythm and quick guitar captures the Jazz atmosphere. The whole composition evokes the image of a mercenary rabbit gunning down everything in his path, starships blowing up, Devan’s machines engaging in combat.

There’s a good amount I don’t like about this song, though. The beginning radio tuning-in dealy is good enough, but the clapping and (I think) tambourine intro defeats the purpose of the intro you already provided. The first half of the song feels repetitive, and the song doesn’t really have an ending. It just stops. Not to mention that the vocals don’t feel “heavy” enough for this kind of genre.

Nonetheless, I really like the song. The lyrical version I’m not a fan of, but the instrumental is great. This song is a must have for any Jazz fan, regardless if you like this genre of music or not. There’s room for improvement, but this song is a definite keeper in my playlist. I give it an 8 and a download recommendation.

A final note: don’t put this on your iPod. This song shouldn’t be tainted by that.

Hey, All of you, If you don’t have seen it, its a BETA. DAH that’s why its so small :P

well i liked it :(

i really liked the level layout and shape.

Grr…. I please for comment about this level, not for problems with WinRar!

I must change name from rar to zip beacause when I want submit file with rar, that don’t want send

This zip doesnt work with Winzip, but powerarchiver is OK atleast.

Please make your zips with Winzip.

Hmm a Mega Man tileset, these are rare! Mostly only Mario tileset we got.
Its weary good peace of work. Its totally like the real Mega Man 2’s Metalman and Bubbleman stage(and I know it how it is look like, I played mmm1 to x8).
Tile set:8.0
Perfect just like the real one and its not hard to use! But you should put in more things like more enemies or items.
Example lvl:6.0
Good its have everything you need to know what it is. But you shoud put an example for Bubbleman too.

Total:7.0
Super work! I hope you make more
Download recommendation: Yes! A must see for all Mega Man fan.

Bonus comment:
Perhaps other will give smaller rate but with this tile set you can reconstruct the 2 Mega Man II level.

It’s so annoying seeing levels marked as 1.23 when they’re TSF only levels.

Right, now onto the review.

EYECANDY

There is hardly any eyecandy to be seen in this level. The background looks boring without anything in Layers 5,6 or 7. Layer 4 looks too repetitive. There’s some nice flashing tubes but that is all that looks good. Don’t rush levels like this.
Also, don’t make levels look empty by only having 1 tile high platforms.

1.2/10

GAMEPLAY

The level is too small for a CTF match. CTF bases are too hard to access. At first, I didn’t have a clue of how to get to the Red Base. Warps are too hidden, there is no obvious sign of how to get out of the area.
First time players of this level would have no idea of how to access the Blue Base either.
There are no PUs anywhere. These are a must in a multiplayer level.

1/10

WEAPON & CARROT PLACEMENT

There are not enough weapons to be found here. Weapons are too hidden. Not enough of them were in the open. Only some Bouncer ammo which is not good enough without a PU somewhere. Same goes for the Seekers and Blaster.
Carrots are too easy to access as there are 4 “1 Carrots” and one “Full NRG” all arranged in a “” form making it too easy for players to regain health.

1/10

TOTAL SCORE: 1.2 + 1 + 1 = 3.2/30 = 1.0666666666666666666666666666667 = 1.1/10

DOWNLOAD?

No, but don’t let the low rating put you off making any more levels. Just keep trying and follow BattleSpaz’s tips and you will get better.

put the tileset in or people might not be albe to download it

yes this is tsf/1.24

Few tips for posting a level:
-Don’t name it just CTF. Name it TSCTF or whatever.
-You also need the tileset. Levels cant be opened without tilesets.
-If this works on TSF, it should be marked as TSF level.

Few tips about making level(Everything I saw from the skeleton of level):
-Don’t make bases hard to reach. There should not be wall, and warps that are nearly hidden to another side.
-You need more ammo and powerups to the level, also reachable carrot would be nice.
-Make levels bigger. This level is too small, also, you can resize the level.

Keep making those levels, you get better, belive me! You should check top 10 levels of J2O for some examples.

ok the one thing i liked about this is the placement of ammo gems etc.

Bad things

The level is very frustrating , there are many warps what take you back to the start of the level , whats even worse is all the enemies have respawn on them so you have to through them all again and that isn’t fun at all , have respawn on enemies is ok at times but when you have to go down a hole and get back the enimies are respawed already , also it did not look like a hot desert at all dispite the tileset , you need to use a better background and the eyecandy was awful , you put mountain top on a piece of ground that isn’t good , use the tileset properly , it normally makes the level better .

conclusion:

its just to frustating as enimies respawn too fast and you can go all the way back to the start of the level.

sorry , but this is bad , but keep trying and your get better trust me.

Please fix this pack, several of the levels are broken.

If you gave this tileset 8.5 I belive you have very low standards.

So… The review. (I wasn’t going to complain and then not leave a review myself. ;D)

This is a tileset that can be found in many tilesets, (mostly first tilesets) some bricks of rather poor quality. Why are they poor quality? Because they’re texture less, and they don’t tile vertically properly. Eragon might want tot consider making all of the bricks the same size to increase realism, also doing more then just a few brush-strokes of work on the bricks. The tileset contains some three tiles that can be used for background bricks. They do contrast the color of the normal bricks, but you should probably try to make the mortar (stuff holding the bricks together) more apparent, as I had to put my face a few inches from my screen to see it. There are windows, shutters, and some unidentifiable yellow stuff. That is the tileset. Except of course if you count the 290 tiles of ‘eyecandy’ which is actually an image of a city that was obviously copy and pasted from a photo.

Now for the level.

When rating tilesets, the level is not included in the rating, the level is just to give the reviewer an idea of how the tileset can be used.
Just a note, Don’t password levels like this, it’s too much work for the reviewer, and I ended up having to hack the password away to view the level. The reason people password levels anymore is beyond me.

All in all, this tileset is very much like many peoples first tilesets. You might want to consider making another one, with a more distinct theme and more time spent, with more actual tiles to use.

First review! :D Going to review Tileset & level.

Tileset:
I’ve found a few tileset bugs, such as on the city at the bottom. What is the point of the big space in between the two identical cities?

The star could be a bit more star-like on the left bottom side.. The tileset deserves a 8.5.

Level:
If you do hit the scen crate, its too easy to fall in after that… Its a little hard to get the crate anyways!
You have to shoot some blocks 23573459762957239573466958 times just for the trig crate thats hard to break anyways because its next to the ceiling.. that means its hard for all chars to break. And whats the point of sticking the p UPs in undestructable blocks ? if you didn’t know how to drill, it would rather… unfortunate. the eycandy was a little over done, with the windows and credits. (Just a note, not including in rating until i get an answer, things with a delay of 5 won’t respawn?) Rating: ~5.5

Overall:
The gameplay was rather nice and with instagib and team battle it would be fun. Rating, 6.0. DR? Go ahead.

@birdie “When rating tilesets, the level is not included in the rating, the level is just to give the reviewer an idea of how the tileset can be used.”
its not marked as tileset ;\

I’m pretty damn sure the number one download rule is to only upload finished download content.
(It’s really the last rule, but it’s more designed to forbid demos and betas, neither of which this is. If a pack is not finished, and the author/s has/have no intention to ever finish it, then it seems only fair to let them put what IS finished onto J2O, so people can at least get a little enjoyment/functionality, if not the whole thing. I saw no complaints when Moonblaze uploaded the unfinished TDI2, for instance. I see no reason to not allow this to be uploaded, especially when it’s not even technically uploaded to J2O anyway. ~Violet)
At the time, the pack did not include the download links in the download info, that or I missed them-n00b

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD work!!!
(Table fix; unsupported rating (10) removal. ~Violet)

Please make for TSF…

I would have found it more helpful if the levels indicated that you have to play as Spaz for the pack to make sense. I usually play as Jazz, and I found it irritating how I always got spawned in the upper-left tile.

It’s overall good, and I liked your use of eyecandy. Go easy on the dark areas in the future. I would recommend Set Light 0 and use Steady Light to mark the main path.
