lol, actually that was a better review than i expected. anyway, the part about the huge amount of extra unused tiles at the bottom of the tileset, i fixed that and had the tileset end right after the green background mountains.

I like this thing, but a few parts of the music suck. Just what Haze said: brush up your music theorem. I think someone can use this in Letni levels.
Probably download reccomendation.

I think in this pack the gameplay is so much fun the music and the tileset with the feeling of Super Mario was very good but the tileset usage was so bad. You didn’t spend so much time on tilesets. Also the enemies and goodies were so much. So much food so much enemies and the next level setting was empty. Pay more attention on making levels and if you did the rest of the game it can be better for you to upload it.

Since you released the tileset about five minutes ago, I consider this a demo level. Here’s my review of the tileset:
Tilesets made in the fairly rudementary Microsoft Paint program normally fall into one of three categories: absolutely awful with no effort, an honest attempt but still not very good, and adequate for a tileset but an amazing masterpiece for an MS Paint tileset. To truly make a worthwhile tileset in MS Paint requires time, patience, and a whole lot more ability to not pull your hair out than I will ever posess. Suberia, which sounds like it could be a planet out of nearly any space game ever created, is a fairly simple tileset. If you have ever reviewed many tilesets made in Paint, you’ll know that simple is what to expect. The entire tileset itself occupies 34 32-pixel lines but is followed by annoying stencil remnants that at least take up double the room the tileset does (removing these to reduce filesize would have been welcome, especially if you are going to host levels with this tileset often.) Included are some nice-looking general purpose colored blocks and ground that suspiciously resembles grandmother’s banana bread. The green sucker tubes look acceptable, but without textures or anything complicated don’t look professional. Blue mountains that look similar in quality (pretty lame but acceptable in MS Paint) to Blade’s mountains in Aztec are there if you so desire mountain-y layer seven eyecandy. Street lights add an interesting touch to the tileset, which is obviously going for a city look. In fact, if you look at the tileset long enough, it almost looks like some cartoony MS Paint version of Toxic Bunny’s War Torn Night tileset (a la Distopia) minus the war torn part. Then there are some Mario-ish transfer tubes that are way to narrow to suffice for anything other than eyecandy. Then there is a block that literally has “warp” written all over it. This is followed by a collection of letters and symbols for printing out your bids of worship to the Snufuss. A shameless clan ad for backgrounds of tunnels that look sort of like spraypaintings adorn the bottom of this tileset, followed by the blue versions of the mountains earlier in the tileset. While I doubt that it will be used much beyond Atomic Clan levels, its not the word MS Paint tileset that there ever was. Still, it’s an MS Paint tileset and not an amazing one at that. I have always had trouble rating MS Paint-made tilesets because they all have that cartoony look, but this one is fairly clear. My rating for this tileset is a 5.7. It may not be graphically amazing or textured like tilesets made in PSP or Photoshop, but it does have a nice homely feel. Worth a download if you’re interested in MS Paint tilesets, but everyone else probably will not be missing much.

LEVEL:
Now, as exciting as a battle in the suburbs of Anytown, USA sounds, I can’t say this battle level is much to get excited over. The level itself is fairly smallish, but does not exactly feel constricting. The top of it consists of land area while the bottom is water (yeah, a lake below a suberb…sounds realistic, don’t you think?) The flow of the level is pretty good in the land areas, but obviously it’s hard to say much for nearly empty water areas. Near the bottom of the water area is a small building (suburban shipreck) consisting of a room with a seeker powerup. Ammo placement is actually fairly good, and whatever layout there is is not bad at all. However, I can’t say that I like this level much, mainly because of its diminuitive size. This is good for a demo level, but not good enough to warrant a completely seperate J2O upload. I give this level a score of five point two. It’s not bad, but really not anything special. It should have been included with the original tileset download instead of being featured seperately. Instead of just downloading this and the tileset seperately, download this and rate the tileset. This is a good example of a demo level, but little more.

Lets start with the good points.
The story of the levelpack is very nice, and logic. The characters of the story are also well made. The enemies are sometimes overused, but there are many cool puzzles. The difficulty is hard, sometimes to many witches for comfort. The eyecandy is also cool, some good tricks used. Most levels are long and dont get boring as fast.Lots of creativity is included

Tha bad points:
To musch enemies take away soem points. It looks real ugly when to much enemies are huddled in one place. Not enough goodies and pickups arre icnluded, needs more. It is to difficult without the pickups.

Still very good IMO, but not the best. Love the storyline

I liked the tileset :O:O:O:O:O:O:O:

The eyecandy is what it should be, considering the tileset, not to bad not to good. the placement is very bare and boring, i didnt like that. The left is open, which lets players be “invinsible” if they hide there. The springs are placed well, and the gameplay, im not to fond of it. Gets boring. But i rated this 1 mark higher than i should of because this is a to simple tileset to make good levels with.

Moonblaze, are you goning crazy about that pinball objects? From the time of Disguise’s post about it on my JCS thread, you’re talking about it all the time!

And the coversion is quite well, but not perfect. I won’t repeat what others said about the bugs… I just agree with them.

New JJ1 conversion of the concurrent converter CelL (Vs Violet). This is a medivo tileset, so it haves nice music, lava and the JJ1 arrows. There are ome bugs, but this is also better tha Ice Wolf’s first conversion. Please betatest this more, things like the white blob at the lamp really suck. It0s a download reccomendaion, but not too huge.

Oh gawd, not another one… :P

Actually I wouldn’t mind more remixes of the same songs, however they have to be of some sort of quality. And this one, I’d personally have to say, is not one of them.

I can hear you’ve got some interesting ideas on sound effects, though not all are used as they should be. The rule that should’ve been applied here is simple: less is more!
More harmony than JSZ Jazz’ mix, though that probably is because less melody channels were changed at all.
And the major downpoint is the drumtrack. Weird cymbals flying all over the place and some added effects don’t instantly make for a killer drumtrack.

I wonder what would happen if we’d combine JSZ Jazz’ and your forces together? You both have strong points that blank out eachothers’ weaknesses. You two could give a coop a try and learn from eachother. :)

Is it me or is everything friggin’ detuned? Argh!

The drumtrack is good. What else is good, you ask? Erm… the effort? :)
Please, please, PLEASE brush up on your music theorem. You’ve definately got potential but I feel it goes to waste like this, sorry.

although it is a good tileset, it is a difficult one to make a good level.

(Interesting. Several people have been disagreeing with you. Could you expand on why you think this, and maybe talk about the rest of the tileset some as well? Rating removal. ~Violet)[This review has been edited by Violet CLM]

This is my most favorite set.
Enough with being plenty usefriendly and only mising a few tiles, the quality is much better than Epic’s own, unique, and simply unbeliveable. Even here, Agama amazed us with whole 3 versions of the tileset. A must download, and my 10 goes to this.[This review has been edited by Moonblaze]
