Pretty good level. Very moody.

Flag placement – Pretty good places where you put them. I like where they are un the top upper right and left corners. I am grateful where you put them. No ctf bug, Yay! 8/10

Carrot placement – These are okay spots where you put them. They are pretty even which makes the game fair for both teams. 8/10

Ammo – The warp secrets to power ups. A classic. One to rf’s and again one to seeks Pu.The ammo is placed pretty evenly. The bonus is pretty cool too. 8/10

Layers – Pretty much every layer is used but im just looking at the level my self.Layer 1 isnt used but that layer is hardly used at all. Placement of the layers if good and layer 2 was used good with the trees. 8/10

Music/tileset – Atlantis is perfect for this level which makes it moody and peaceful. Tileset. THis tileset is perfect for the level you used. It matches with the music you used. This tileset isnt very common but I like how you used a tileset like this. It gives us something new. 9/10

8/10 + 8/10 + 8/10 + 8/10 + 9/10 = 8.5!

I can’t believe this!!!Only 2 out of the 5 levels work!This is not good. Not good at all.

BATTLE 2-This was a good choice of tileset.
AMMO-Plenty of it.It was placed OK.There was nothing special about it.What elss can I say other than it was a good try?7/10.

SIZE-Tut tut.You could have made this a lot bigger.I have seen bigger battle levels on the OEM version!!I wish that people could put more effort into their uploads.4/10.

EYECANDY-Cooool!!!!This is wicked!!One of the best peices of eyecandy I’ve ever seen!It is all laid out like on a table in a posh restaurant..cooooool.The gems encrusted into the walls were shiny and artistic.10/10.

BATTLE 5-Nice looking tileset.It looks neat.

AMMO-Plentiful.It was laid out very nicely and evenly.Quite good actually.I liked it.8/10.

SIZE-The same. You should really make your uploads larger.God damn it.4/10.

EYECANDY- Unluckely,the tileset didn’t have so much eyecandy biult with it.But you did try though.7/10.

GOOD POINTS-
Amazing eyecandy
Nice use of tilesets
Good placement of ammo

BAD POINTS-
Half of the levels didn’t work
Not very good size of levels

SCORE-Your final score is 6.7.I hope you find this review helpful in future level making.I think I will give download recommendation.You got away with it this time.

AAH!!!I can’t open it in JCS!!!This is so annoying!I managed to open the level but not the acctual tileset.So I am not sure if you changed it at all.But you definately added some tiles.I am sure of it.

LEVEL DESIGN-This is the winner of the blockiest level competition!!!What were you thinking?There wasn’t much variety and the same tiles were being used over and over again!!This really lowered the rating.The animations of Jazz were good though.4/10.

GAMEPLAY-There was none.There was a dark and light stage but that didn’t do anything.3/10.And is this sopposed to be a battle level?!It said in the download section that it was a custom level.But in the acctuall review page it said that it was a battle level.I am very confused.Make your mind up!!!

GOOD POINTS-
Cool animations

BAD POINTS-
Blocky level
Same tiles being used repeatedly
Joinidon not decided what type of upload it was

SCORE-This may be a lot different to the last review.The final score is 3.5.Yes. A lot different.No download reccomendation.Please try a lot harder when you make uploads.

Your review doesnt make much sense, Bluespaz7. First you say my level is very good then you say its boring. I’m not a high achiever or anything but for being a very good level 6.3 isn’t a very good score.

Nonetheless I thank you for your review.

Cheers for the review Fearofdark. I prefer my levels story line to be a bit mysterious… I don’t really like explaining everything in the level, I like the player to have to use a bit of their own immagination.

What the!!?Why aren’t you bothered to make a level pack!?I think that that is just plain lazyness.However, your level was very good.

LEVEL DESIGN-WOW!This is a very strong point of your level.All the tiles were placed out perfectly and there was plenty of enemies.Not so much ammo though.8/10.

GAMEPLAY-I liked the gameplay because the amount of enemies gave it a sense of evilness.8/10.

REPLAY VALUE-Um…It is OK(ish).I don’t really know what to say.It was fairly boring. There wasn’t anything UNIQUE about it.6/10.

GOOD POINTS-
Lots of baddies
OK Gameplay

BAD POINTS-
Quite boring
None of required ammo for shoot blocks

I think this was a very good level.Bit of a shame about some of the bad points.

FINAL SCORE- This level deserves 7.2.I will give download recommendation.

I hope that this review will help you in future level making.

P.S-I have edited this review since I posted it.(Bluespaz7).(AGAIN).

A solid paintish tileset with a realistic halloween-theme.

Main Tiles: Most ground tiles are there. Not all combinations of ground types are possible (I mostly miss the 1*X tile platforms). There’s a textured BG; it looks good on 16 bit and only very slightly buggy on 8 bit mode. There is also a “layer 4 background”, although you’ll have to use layer 5 for it and it doesnt look that good. Vine, hook, and hurt events are there; the V-pole is missing, and so are the sucker tubes. Text and exit signs are here, and so are the arrows, in two shades of red which allows for animation.
Uh, and there are also some destruct blocks (or something), although these look pretty ugly.
->You can make levels with this tileset, although you can’t be too innovative with the tile placement.
6.2

Eyecandy: This tileset has a decent amount of eyecandy. While the tileset itself is city-themed, the halloween theme comes in here. There are pumkins, animated glowing carved pumpkins, gravestones, bones, weird shape monsters.. a neat layer 6 or 7 house background and a neat layer 6 or 7 weird-shaped-monster background. There’s also a house for layer 4. There’s rain, and colored tiles that allow for lightning.
-> A good amount of eyecandy for such a small set. Well done.
8.7

Extras: There are blocks with letters, which can be useful sometimes. There’s also a nice trigger door, but this has a major downside: there’s no part for it in layer 3, causing you to go in front of the whole door when you’ve finally unlocked it, looking pretty stupid.
There’s also a “happy halloween!” tile, which cheered me up somehow.
-Not that much, but at least some.
+0.2

About the different versions: I probably liked the evening version best, it was the most Halloween-ish in my opinion. The night versions were a tiny bit too dark for my liking. Purplejazz7 has been smart enough to darken sprite colors too for them (actually the midnight version looks pretty neat if you make the texture BG fade into a bright color)

Overall: A good, slightly above average tileset. If this really is your third, you sure have potential. Keep up the good work. It could be improved on alot, but it still is nice (and probably better than anything I could manage)

(6.0+8.7+0.2)/2=7.55. +0.2 for the “feeling” in the set->7.75 rounded down to 7.7
D/L recommendation: Yes.

A very useful program!
For people like me, who have over 1000 levels in their Jazz2 directory, this is a must-have. It’s pretty easy to use, too.
Pros: Simple layout, easy to use, etc. Good that it shows wether they are passworded or not, and wether they show in HC levels or not.
Cons: Only mode available is Single Player (well yea. but still); the levels are in a seemingly random order which apparently can’t be seen. It always jumps to the same file if you type a single letter, so you need to type multiple to find what you’re looking for.
Overall: One of the most useful programs around. A must-have. Some features are still missing (mainly the order thing), which prevent this from being a 10.
A solid 9 from me.

Hmm…Good job. This music is very well balanced to perfection. It seemed to get better as the song went on. In the beginning I was like “omg” not a very good start.It seemd very boring in the start, then all the sudden it’s like BAM, out of no where when you start t feel the rythem of the song. It did improve as it went on.I look at a piece of music like an essay. You want to make it better as you go along, then have a good ending. So this is what im gonna do, I think I’ll give you an 7.5 because of the balance and the improvement as the song went on.The reason why i took of . 5 to make it a 7.5 is becasue I dont think I would use this in any multiplayer levels. I would recommend putting this song in a single player level but that is just my opinion.

Dowload recommendation…, depends.

Purplejazz7 is right. This level pack was only fun the first time u play it.

LEVEL DESIGN- I was quite happy with the level design because the way the eyecandy was laid out gave it effect.The holes in the trees in the 2nd level was really cool.8/10.

GAMEPLAY- Lets say that it wasn’t AMAZING.There were loads of enemies,a few gems and hardly any ammo, wich is quite dissapointing.5/10.

REPLAY VALUE- Like I said at the beginning of this pointless review, it’s only fun the first time.The darkness in the last level was OK but it hardly made and difference.4/10.

As-(if u don’t understand what this means, it’s the good points.)
Way cool EYECANDY.

Es-
Not very good GAMEPLAY
A bit SMALL
Depressing after the first go.

SCORE-This level pack was a bit boring and I can’t recamend (did i spell that right?)this as a good download.

I think that 5.4 is qiute fair. Next time, put a little more effort into your levels.

I started playing this. It is pretty good. There are many enemies. It makes game challenging. It seems that Devan (Jazz doesn’t know it’s HIS fault) has removed some parts of the city and the world (a cute way to say “MISSING BACKGROUND”). There is a roof. If you fall, you don’t get the bonus which is at the end of the roofs. More enemies. More challenging. Then I walk a way made from grass. Then I go into the Sewer. The thing that makes this frustrating is the lack of light. I need JJLIGHT to play this. There is a “Lizard Town” which is the lizards lair. Later I get out. Mmmh… It can be completed. There are enough carrots. I had average fun. Then i find another town (Jazz seems tired of towns). Then he gets in an underground haunted creep. He fights skeletons. Then he gets in a cave. He has to fight more and more. He finds that the usual Devan has made this invasion. And the boss is the USUAL, FRUSTRATING DEVIL DEVAN. Why don’t you try using my custom boss formation (if it’s possible)? This deserves a 6 for me. I’m not sure if this should be downloaded or not. i think both you and me should both work on our English.

Well, it seems that no one actually took a serious and careful look on the pack. And I did notice it quite late indeed as I thought people were sure what they actually thought about the thing. Nevertheless the pack doesn’t belong to the worse side. Even with today’s standards the levels remain fairly decent.

Most of the eyecandy is appreciated and mostly even more. Just so nice creativity was already used 4-5 years ago. DreamScape quite shows a good side of it while it actually might confuse some players as the default textured background CelL used just blends up with the entirely green level. 22 Hour Biscuits with the same tileset has this problem fixed and offers just more kinds of sweet and interesting eyecandy with an ambient atmosphere.

Some levels have a handy layout with a bit more questionable flow though. Not all the amount of vines are that necessary and definitely Asphalt Warzone has annoying balance-problem somewhat. Part of the sucker-tubes improve the flow slightly, part of them lead to something secret like a PU, and an equal third part are useless. As well in Mechanism 35 such mazes don’t really satisfy me. Another fine example of a better gameplay is Superior Technologys. Unfortunately involving these tubes.

Placement is kinda boring to say at the least. Ammo is placed either path-vice or in squared flocks, while also I’m wondering the point of freezer being everywhere. However the way that major pickups, carrots/PUs were placed was mainly exotic and even this part does have some quality.

The pack is overrated, but good. At least it beats that another old CelL-pack, the “mega CTF pack”, where actually all these levels were put in after. And they are the better ones indeed. I’m not as well sure about the Constructional Warfare that just looks like an unfinished predesign. An exact 8 should do it. I recommend downloading this however and giving it a try.
