This tileset is really good for your first. However, the tile placement is kind of bad. I know you say you couldn’t help this, but I’m sure you could have.
The basic blocks are black, with a yellow/green gradient sort of thing as the floor. You can put vines and stuff on it, along with eyecandy swords, signs, and… big red monster thingies?
There is also some cool layer 6/7 background, big dangerous looking spikes, a nice textured background, all that stuff.
Space Warbase has a lot of big old brownish blocks. In all shapes of the rainbow, and a lot more, as rainbows don’t offer much variation in shape.
Also, we get some cavish tiles (where instead of built in edges, it’s all insides, with edge tiles you stick on the sides) that look like Spacey Universe with a facelift.
All the required tiles are there, and he’s even (working off of the sucess of that castle tileset I forgot the name of) has huge moving platforms.
Also animated background layers, the original brownish blocks only with the yellow and black lines everyone loves so much on top, a really cool textured background, and such extra stuff as bunkers, crashed rockets (I think?) and rotating gears.
Townsville ][ is right in alphebetical order next to Top Secret 1, ][ and ]|[, so the similarity is obvious. At first glance, Townsville 2 is seriously stunning, and looks like the sort of thing you’d see in screenshots of an actual game. If Disguise had made this some years ago, he could have probably gotten paid for it.
First, we get treated with some seriously nice ground tiles, with gravel paths to walk along that look almost as gravelly as gravel. It’s got most of the tiles to fit together.
Then, like the original Townsville, we see the house tiles. These look kind of hard to put together, but I think that’s just from Disguise wanting to fufill all possibilities. We’ve got windows, open and closed, not to mention doors, though they remain shut.
Also, some trees (just two types, though. Blade’s “Forest” tileset has far more). We see some darkish grey blocks as well, looking straight from that castle tileset.. oh, what WAS it’s name? They don’t quite fit in with the tileset, sadly.
Naturally, this tileset also has the required stuff, like spikes. Word or warning, don’t make the sucker tubes in this tileset transparent. They don’t look good that way.
Next, I come to Unreal Imagination. This tileset RULES. It is incredibly cool. At first, it looks pretty normal. Then you realize exactly what the difference is.
The stuff you walk around in is either black or textured, both of which look cool. The best part, is that all the walls are textured. Not normal textured, they are COMPOSED OF TEXTURED BACKGROUND! Yes, the walls are all invisible!
The tops of the walls are marked with two platforms – red and blue. You walk between them, and there’s a cool illusory effect that makes you think the textured background is actually a three dimensional platform..
To top it off, Disguise put in lots of cool animations (that remind you of Swamps of the Sleeping Jaguar), the required tiles, background eyecandy, etc. Did I mention this tileset was seriously cool?
Raging Inferno is composed almost entirely of ground tiles, as I believe someone else said. No longer can you have worries about having a sloped tile at a 45 degree angle, with a wall on one side and a ceilling above. Ok, maybe that’s not true, but you get the idea.
The floor bits are a nice orange gradient, on top of this bunch of rocky stuff that looks kind of like Spacey Universe and Space Warbase. Ever get the feeling Disguise reuses textures?
After that, we get the wall bits, now without the orange gradient floor, only with caves and big black spaces. The problem is that the caves look too much like the walls, about the only difference being that the caves are probably shrunken versions of the walls.
Then we get down to the required stuff, which is there. Disguise even was nice and put in devillish text signs, and red tridents sticking out of the ground.
Tarzan’s Treetops is just cool. The whole thing takes place in the trees – no ground, roots, or anything. You get to make the trees float, instead, with the handy dandy TREE BOTTOM CORNER tiles! In stores now!
Most of the tiles are for getting the trees to fit together, which although doesn’t look too hard, doesn’t look paticularly easy either. Then we get the same, only in another color. Two colors of trees! Buy one, get one tree.
After that, we get the required tiles. Except.. no spikes. We want spikes. Do you not like Single Player or something? Even Jungle had spikes. Oh, and there’s also some background eyecandy trees which look fine.
Because this is composed of trees, there have to be some leaves.. and Disguise supplies, which rhymes. Two types of leaves at your disposal, though I think one type is for the background eyecandy.
Winterland Wonder, is, well, a winterland wonder. Did I say Townsville 2 looked like it could have made it into a game? This one more so.
This large tileset, though possible the smallest of the lot, starts off with the ground tiles. They are made of snow and the children know that they look hard to fit together. Heh heh.
Actually, just the top is snowy, though there are tiles to change it to ice and back again. The insides are purple, which seems to go well with snow. It looks really familiar, too. Remember the stuff from Spacey Universe, Space Warbase, and Raging Inferno? I think this is the same, only turned purple.
It’s got enough tiles to fit together, too. Then we have these really cool trees, like in Nature’s Ruins, only all frozen over. The green foliage has turned white and looks like icicles now, but the similarity is still striking.
Then we have the required tiles, with spikes this time. The author of the level even saw fit to display them prominently in the example level, to show that they got put in.
This tileset also has background eyecandy of cool mountain ranges, and two different textured backgrounds. Value for your non existant money.
And then, Space Warbase. This one looks familiar. Oh, right. :P
One problem… not a single one of the tilesets has an exit sign. Bad Disguise.[This review has been edited by Violet CLM]
Not bad for your 1st CTF level, but it needs a lot of work…
In the level, the eye-candy is decent, the bases are placed a little too close to one another, too much ammo is used, and there are too many powerups at easy access. I would advise not to put powerups so close to the shortest routes from base to base.
The level doesn’t have much good gameplay, so finding good strategies might be hard. The best thing in this level IMO is the carrot placed near the top, since you have to go out of your way to get it. Everything else needs much more work for a higher rating.[This review has been edited by BlurredD]
This is the quality I expect from epic;)better than all the offical tileset put together best tilesets I have ever seen! teach me how to do this now;)

Look Saiyan, if the lvl is crappy, then you shouldn’t have given it an 7.7. :-P Oh, well, maybe it I should be happy about it considering my first CTF lvl got an 5.
EDIT: Alright, I’ve listened to you all. There are too much ammo in some places and the powups are too close together. They’re all fixed. I’ve also put the flag bases further away. Oh, and I’ve put the seeker powerup in a MUCH, MUCH more harder to reach place too. ;-) I hope all of you will raise yer ratings cause a 7?! Blah. :-P[This review has been edited by White Rabbit]
Ow…he started making CTF levels…:) thinks Hmmz, maybe I should too. NM
Well since its your first ctf level I wont be so hard on you, but you really should take a look at these points:
-The way from one base to the other is too short.
-Both the bases or at the lower ground.
-There is too much ammo and PU’s around the level.
-The level is too small, and crappy.
Ok that was it I give it a 7.7 for your first try. And eh, nice music and Tileset.
This level, as you can tell from the level description, is a 1.23 single player level using the Medivo tileset.
It uses the tileset pretty well, except for a little repetition in the walls at times. I found a minor layer 3 bug or too, as well.
The design is well, small. It doesn’t take too long to get from the beginning of the level to the end, even if you take all the goodie detours.
It plays pretty well, though I could use a little more difficulty in my cup of tea. It feels like Medivo, even. Not, say, Battle1 converted to Medivo, but a level made for Medivo.
The enemy placement, along with weapon placement, is ok. Could be better, could be worse.
We shall watch your progress with great interest.
I think this is quite a nice tileset. The tiles are very well drawn and the animations are great. One problem, however, is that the tileset lacks eyecandy and some buttstmomp/destruct blocks. Maybe if you edited the tileset a little and add some more eyecandy (cactus, snakes, spikes…etc, etc…) I will give you a higher rating. But for now, a 6.7.

A semi-quick, but half-decent refixed review.
Winterland Wonder: Probably the best winter-based tileset I’ve ever seen. The different types of snow tiles could come in handy when making eye candy with this set.
Space Warbase: Slowly becoming an overused theme, but one of my favorite space sets. This set is currently the most used tileset from this pack. It has several types of tiles and a few really nice features, including the meteoroid and the turrets.
Townsville ][: It has a decent theme, though it seemed too happy at first. It offers a few choices in tiles to use, but it’s not the easiest to make great eye candy with.
Unreal Imagination: Cool idea, but the tileset itself isn’t flattering. I dislike the red and blue theme.
Raging Inferno: Looked nice at first. Then I realized the entire set basically looks the same.
Tarzan’s Treetops: I could imagine it would be hard to make a good level with this set. I’m not crazy about the leaves, either.
Overall: I probably won’t use every one of these tilesets, especially the last three I mentioned above, but they aren’t bad. Wisety definitely put a good deal of effort into making these sets. However, quantity alone won’t make me give this a high rating. It’s not that they look bad, but some of these sets don’t have what I find most useful in a tileset: variety in types of tiles to allow for more possibilities with eye candy and atmosphere. I mean types of tiles as in mud tiles, brick tiles, metal tiles, etc. Variety like that is what I desire the most in a set, especially if it works out in a particular theme. Those are my reasons. Therefore, 8.7 is my new rating.[This review has been edited by BlurredD]
WHOA! This ROCKS (especially for MY taste :D)!
clings to SoulFirE
I LOVE those blades and the background and… and… and the moving eye-things and… EVERYTHING!
This is VERY impressing for your first tileset!

These are the tilesets by… WISETY??Ok, I review tileset to tileset. Ok, here I go:
RAGING INFERNO:7.7/10
Most tiles are meant to be ground. You did too much ground tiles. There are way too much ground tiles. There’s a rain effect! Do those rain tiles transparent and then make fast speed to ground, that’s very cool. I think I should make a level with this tileset.
SPACE WARBASE:9.5/10
wow, you can make a moon with this tileset! Good that there’s not too much ground tiles here like in RAGING INFERNO. You can make a level kind of a moon, you can make a planet or even both!
I will make a level with this tileset too!
TARZAN’S TREETOPS:4.5/10
The starting of the tileset is only some trees! Trees and trees and trees until I scroll down the tileset window and I reach to the cooler tiles. They are very cool. Drawn by “pixel to pixel” thing. and it looks cool. AHA! I see a GpW clantag there. You are asking people to join the clan GpW! That’s unfair. That makes that this loses points.
Townsville ][:9.7/10
Where’s the powerpuff girls? :P
The street tiles, blabla they are pretty cool. Layer7 thing(Mountains) is cool too. The rooftops include closed and open windows. Townsville ][ is great. What’s those ][ things?
UNREAL IMAGINATION:4.0/10
The starting tiles waste tiles space only. Even what’s the meant of them??
The lava bricks RULE! You are saying you yourself rock so that loses points.
WINTERLAND WONDERS:1.2/10
IS THIS TRUE???? YOU ARE WASTING TILES TOO MUCH ON THIS! The first half tiles are just some ground tiles, then comes some STUFF! Then the last half tiles are just a mountain and a DISGUISE text.
You did text in the half-end mountains!
That’s all. But all your tilesets has text in the masks. That makes you lose 3 points.
[edit]
Your review has been changed to N/A for inappropriate point deduction. You are not rating the levels and tilesets in your reviews, you are rating his clan tag and other things not important to the levels and tilesets.

Re-uploaded thanks to a little bug in the Unreal Imagination exmaple level (no start positions).
Apart form that, I dont rip, the word itself sends shivers down my spine, those leaves are MY leaves, I can prove it too! :P
Heh, I’ll do that if you beg enough
P.S. What is masterattackz? do u have a screenie or somehting liek that? im nosey to see how close my tiles are to that to call them ripped…
P.S.S. Those ‘Rail Stoppers’ in the space warbase tileset are turrets and bunkers. They are pretty easy to use, just run into them and shoot :P[This review has been edited by Disguise]
Yeah. The best tileset pack of all here on j2o.
Tarzan Treetop:
That’s bad. The leaves are ripped from Jungle and Swamps, and there is no fun stuff etc..
Raging Inferno:
Roar! That’s a tileset for the real Tazzys. Very nice, only red and black. Roar!
Unreal Imagination:
Barf That’s so ugly… Red and blue. Only red and blue. Red and blue. Red and blue…
Townsville ][:
Oops! That [] is ripped from Overoarlord. :D Super tileset! The best hotel (that sux) tileset ever seen ;) Nice background, nice tiles. Overall: so nice as what!
Space Warbase:
Underground. What’s spacey? :/
It’s more what building, some tiles ripped.. (Rip-masterattackz) Overall nice.
Winterland Wonder:
The best of all (with supersnowman. (It’s a bird? It’s a aircraft? No, It’s supersnowman!) Yeah. Nice ice.
Nice tileset,
but it has stolen tiles from the beach tileset, uhm…. I cant write a big review right so, my advice use Agamas Egypt.
Ok, thats mean, but it just needs work, and dont steal from other tilesets
