Ahhhh…
Here comes another pack of great tilesets which there are so few of and which Disguise is so good at making…

First of all, this is probably…no, this is definitely the best tileset pack this year so far. Wisety’s Wonders includes a boring readme, 6 high quality CTF lvls, 6 super-high quality tilesets and 6 great music files. (Everything seems to be coming in sixes these days…)

Right, let’s get started. thinks
Argh! I’m out of introductions!! thinks more

Ok, ok, here we go: Every single one of these tilesets hold many things in common, but has also many differences. They’re all good (duh!) and has got funny (HAHAHAAH…!) texts in them. But the tilesets also vary in size, theme and eyecandy. Below are a couple brief descriptions of each tileset:

UNREAL IMAGINATION
Very cool tileset indeed! It consists of mostly invinsible masked tilesets and has got some really, great animations. I love that grinning guy with grey-white teeth and the foreground layer tubes are fantastic. Best of all, this is one of the most original tileset I’ve ever seen. If you do it right, the invinsibe tiles can make it look like they’re mirrors and are reflecting everything in the foreground layer!! As I said… a really cool tilesets which you can make really cool lvls of.

TARZAN’S TREETOP
Hmmm… Not as good as the other tileset’s because of its limited usage of tiles but it’s still pretty good and it looks great too. One bad thing about Tarzan’s Treetop is that there are absolutely no eyecandy at all. Well, there’s those little green thingys at the bottom…

SPACE WARBASE
My faavourite!! Woohoo! This tileset is huge and has got the best eyecandy of all the tilesets. Space Warbase has a wide range of asteroids, gun turrets, bunkers and mountains. I especially like the bunkers, they’re just like those things in Overlord’s Top Secret tileset, but offers more protection. The animations, mountains and textures in the tileset are also…er…quite neat. A truly magnificent piece of work. I couldn’t find ANYTHING wrong with it.

RAGING INFERNO
Also one of the best tilest’s in this pack. The tileset holds greatly textured rocks and they look really photo-realistic and yet so cartoony. The background, lava rain, that red trident, the spikes and those beautiful suckertubes are also… oh, you know what I mean…
To simplify things; Raging Inferno is a superb tileset. I’ve already made a single player level out of it!

TOWNSVILLE II
I didn’t like Townsville and I don’t like Townsville too either. Well, I do like it, but not that much. One mayor improvement is that the tileset has gone from a hand drawn cartoon tileset to a 3D-looking one. The eyecandy of Townsville II is much better than the first one. Green, hilly mountains, soft clouds, little trees, smooth, white roads and nice country houses.
Townsville II has got all of these things plus a little more…

WINTERLAND WONDER
To be honest, I think this should be called Winter Wonderland. Oh well…
Winterland Wonder has got snow in it. Yay! +1 point!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Snow rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahem. It’s also got snowmen, snowy spikes, snowy trees, snowy ground, snowy mountains and snowy snow. A real winter place! Do you wish you were there?? If you do, you’ll probably get dissapointed. Make a level out of this tileset instead, to cheer yerself up.

Huh? That’s all? I haven’t even got my fingers warmed up! Blah. Never mind, it was worth writing a really long review, hehe.

Since I simply cannot find a reason why I should take away any points, I’ll just have to give Wisety’s Wonders a 10. This is the best tilesetpack yet.

EVERYONE MUST DOWNLOAD.

Cheers,

White Rabbit.

EDIT: Size and length doesn’t matter!!!!!!!! ;-P[This review has been edited by White Rabbit]

Wowness!! I never thought I’d live to see Piccolo’s tileset! (Alright, maybe I over exaggerated it a bit…) Desperate Cry is a undescribable good tileset. (It’s only undescribable cause I’ve used up all the goody goody words in my vocabulary ;-P) 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.

Ok, I’ve mention all the good things about Desperate Cry. Time for some criticism…MUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

First of all:
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.

Second of all:
As Disguise said, there are no diagonal tiles. I wonder if Piccolo forgot them or if he’s very stupid? The diagonal tiles are too important to be missed out. That forces me to take away about 1.5 points from my original rating.

Third of all:
There are two things badly masked in Desperate Cry. The spikes and the poles (both the H poles and the V poles).

The masked spikes aren’t high enough so when you hit them, you can get hurt but it looks unrealistic cause you only get hurt when you hit the ground, not the spikes. This little problem could be
fixed by making two kinds of spikes.

The poles are masked. They shouldn’t be. You don’t to mask poles, Piccolo. They work absolutely fine in un-masked tiles. Because they’re masked, you can (if yer very careful) stand on the poles without getting er…swinging on it.

Fix these problems, Piccolo and Desperate Cry will be a first-class tileset. But for now, it’s just a very, very good first try.

I’ll give Desperate Cry an 7 and a download recommendation.

EDIT: HAHA! I got the longest review! (again)[This review has been edited by White Rabbit]

Oh. My. God. I don’t even like CTF levels that much, but I downloaded this level simply because it r0xX0rs so much! INCREDIBLENESS AND VARIOUS OTHER STUFF!

Nope. Doesn’t work. Maybe I will review if it works..

um… i don’t believe you made Aryx.s3m, Double U. I have the file already, and at hand, and it says k.koch made the song. Perhaps you would like to back up your statement?

These are those quite good levels. Good graphic and good ideas. Nice music songs. Really in the last level.

Umhhh… Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooriiiiiiiiiiiinggg. There are tons of bugs and enemies are all in same places. And the tiles are in weird places so the level looks ugly. And why this needs 2 players? I can play without another player too. Spend time to find good tiles. And the end boss, yeeeeeeeees it’s ok but when you are fighting with the robot you can jump out from the boss area. And you can go to the devan’s room where he is moving his robot. That is stupid.

0,5 P =tileset
0,5 P =level
0,5 P =Boss

So do better levels in the future plz. :P

…I am addicted to using this fun(ny) program.
