Episode Five: The Fortress of Ruin by EvilMike
This month’s featured download goes to the close of EvilMike’s long awaited single player adventure; Episode 5 is now available from J2O! This pack consists of probably the hardest but most entertaining levels that can be found on any game of this genre, and trounces any previous single player epic by a landslide. Furthermore, the screenshots here aren’t even a clear representation of how exhillerating the pack itself actually is, I guess you just have to play it and see.
This is definately a download for the books. Download it now if you have not done so already (and then play it immediately afterwards).
A sub-mention goes to Gus with his newest tileset: Casualty Mines. This tileset boasts great artistic style and is definately different to anything seen on J2O. Take a look.
And finally, J2O now has 5555 uploads. Keep uploading and have fun =)
