What, you want a storyline?

What ever you want, besides a compleatly diffrent level, I will re upload it with it.

I’ve seen this in it’s early stages (accidentally) and it’s not my favorite level. The level is well-made, but there isn’t really a point to gameplay. I won’t rate it until I can play the level in more depth. Really one of the downfalls is that the system can bug occationally, and I can’t tell who won. However, it’s still a good gametype that I hope to see more of in the future.

EDIT: I should have clarified that it’s hard to tell who won sometimes. It’s a good level, but the gameplay isn’t my favorite.

EDIT 2: Gameplay as in the game type, not how the level plays.[This review has been edited by Trafton AT]

Paint world is good elementary tileset.

Unhit, the lvl isn’t symmetrical at all. And if you think 50 coins is too much, then I shall let you know that it was originally 100.

Ok, back to the review.

Lost City is a lvl I beta-tested. I have never, ever given a lvl I beta-tested a bad rating and I won’t this time either.

The lvl has got good eyecandy, though more wouldn’t have hurt and there are also too little foreground eyecandy. I do like the red moon, which only appears when you go to the top of the lvl. The stars, skyscrapers and the lava are also very nice and contributes greatly to the mood.

The gameplay is all right. Nothing special. Just lots of suckertubes, a couple of springs and some float-ups at places where ppl would normally hit walls. Btw, Moonblaze, you missed one out. ;-) Pos 42, 25. Basically, Lost City is an up-and-down lvl because if you fall down, you simply go up again, being carried by either springs or suckertubes.

Weapons placement is quite nice. There are plenty of ammo, coins and fastfires around and you will never run out of anything. However, I would prefer bouncers instead of electroblasters because it will be very hard to find a use for electroblasters here since the walls are so thin and it’s such an open lvl.

There is nothing wrong with the gameplay, weapons placement or eyecandy. It’s just the lvls idea. I’ve seen countless amounts of lvls that has got the same kind of layout.

Still, Lost City should provide most of us with lots of mulitplayer fun. An 7.7. Download recommended.

Cheers,

White Rabbit.

Wowness!! I never thought I’d live to see Piccolo’s update of his tileset! (Alright, maybe I over exaggerated it a bit…) Desperate Cry (remake) is a undescribable good tileset. (It’s only undescribable cause I’ve used up all the goody goody words in my vocabulary ;-P) Ok, so you’ve all read my old review (you have?! fantastic!) and noticed that I put in some criticism. Most of the criticised parts of the tileset is gone in the update although the grass/mud is still there.

The tiles are beautifully (haha! I came up with a word!) textured but some tiles, e.g those red cliff things, could do with some better colouring.

The animations and eyecandy also hold a high standard. There are loads of stuff in this tileset like spikes, vines, mud, or is it grass? (Hard to tell cause I’m writing this review without my glasses on) And there are also those eyes that look up and down at you. Very cool, but also very disgusting.

Also, which is new, there are diagonal, or sloping, tiles in Desperate Cry. Nothing special, you say? Well, it is special because the old version of Desperate Cry didn’t have any sloping tiles at all (I took away 1.5 points for that…hehe…).

Also, the H and V poles are un-masked. Hooray! And there are new, more useful spikes! Hooray! And lastly, there is a hidden SEPULTURA 00WNS YOU!!! message. Hooray for Sepultura fans!

Unfortunately, there are also bad points.

THE GRASS IS SOOOOOOOO DISGUSTING!! The grass/mud looks like someone’s vomited over them. They’re drawn with one of those artificial light green colours and it looks really ugly. If you want to make dead grass, look at some real-life pictures.

Even though the H and V poles are un-masked, there are new spikes and diagonal tiles, the grass is still there. I really hate it. But, it’s only an opinion so I guess I won’t exactly be able to reduce points just because of that.

At last there are diagonal tiles. W0000pee! (D

Download NOW.

An well deserved 8.5 eats Piccolo

Good tileset, but this tileset has little colors. Big and good.

“Fake ]I[ Arena” gets my “butt ugly level of the week” award (remember that contest by stripe at J2C?).
It uses the legendary Mez01 tileset, is 100*25 tiles small, has one platform with two CTF bases (i thought it’s a Battle level?) and a lot of useless ammo and food in one place. There is no eyecandy and i have no idea, why this should be “very useable for JDC or TSF tournament”. At least i won’t participate in that kind of tournament :-)
The author should really spend more time on his level creations. This is more like a waste of webspace.

Well, JelZe, old pal, it is not too much my kind of level actually :-) It was a good idea by the author to use an awesome custom tileset like DethMan’s “7th Lava Fall”.

But i don’t like the design of the 70*70 tiles small level too much: the lava at the ground may be an original idea, but think the Sucker Tubes and all that cost too much time. The rest of the level has some platforms and a few weapons, not to forget a coin warp. Open and stuff, but nothing too spectacular, in my opinion.

The layer work looks okay which may be caused by the cool, dark look of the tileset.

The music choice, “Astraying Voyages” a 1994 ST3 made tune by S3M super hero Purple Motion fits good, but it’s not my favourite PM tune and the filesize is pretty large, too (~700 KB).

All in all, there is missing something in “Lost City” to give it an outstanding rating. I guess it’s just a decent battle level, nothing more, nothing less (low 7 points). Well, anyways, why not download it? :)
