Pipeworks.......by Wezz

Playability : 5/10
First pipe is nice, last is kinda ok, but middle part sucks a bit, with those poles who don't nice character to this level. I can't use them as some grip point, and they're just in the way.

Visuality : 6.5
OKay, you understood the elements of a good level, but you have a slightly bad executing of it. You should experiment more with less of it.
It's a formula, don't use too much of it. There's sometimes things in it which aren't needed. Just practise on that.

Overall : 5.5
It's a level which I can't play for more than 15 minutes, and that's a bad sign. Not so good, but I can see a beginning!

Aim High by Juble

Playability : 9.9/10

WOW, the flow of the level is just perfect. So much fun, i played it for half an hour straight after the download. I found the level pretty good until i found some nice styles then, it became fantastic. Every obstacle has a clean, fast way to clear and lots and lots of styles are possible. Very nice to see some excellent levels these days.

Visually : 8.7 / 10

As usual, everything seems in place. The pictures are well placed, the grass has a nice thickness, colors are enjoyable, but still, nothing out of the ordinary.

Overall : 9.4 / 10

Simply great

Wezz, don't exspect that we just instantly go play your levs.

1. Maybe people are just tired of elma for a while
2. Maybe people don't like to play externals anymore
3. Maybe people didn't like your other levs, and don't exspect huge improvements
4. Maybe people aren't keen on watching this topic 24/7
5. Maybe people don't feel like rating your lev bad, so not playing at all

All I really want to say, is that you mustn't BEG, it's annoying!

You shall awake by Juble

Playability : 5.0 or 10 / 10 ( let me explain )

- If you are n00bish, the level won't be playable. Some very hard tricks to nail a good time. Some solid hanging, hard brutal volt, pipe driving and some overall good driving habilities. This level will make you swear, get angry and maybe cry...
- If you are a professionnal, the level will look a little easier. The tricks are very enjoyable. Good difficulty. I was there at the battle and just one guy made the brutal volt in the beginning. Lots and lots of styles.

Visually : 8.7 / 10

One word : Juble

Overall : 9.1 / 10

Juble has always been one of my favorite designer and his levels just prove it. This level is fun, beautiful and playable. If you got some skillz, you may find the level excellent !

My best time : 00;41;54

Communion and the oracle by j0k

Playability : 6.4 / 10

First, the start is pretty annoying. It is not very difficult but it kinda gets annoying after a while. Then, the level becomes better but after 10-15 seconds, the vertical path is a little disturbing. After that, the level is quite ok. There's a pretty tight pipe but, extremely short so, not very hard. Finally, the end is quite nice. One thing, i would have prefered that the "secret area" at the top of the first part would have been a shortcut, i mean, no apple to take at the bottom left part.

Visually : 8.1 / 10

That is were the level gets better. The grass is very nicely made, it goes to the end of every polygons without getting messy on the walls. Pictures are well placed through the level and not in abuse. But, nothing innovative...

Overall : 7.0 / 10

A nice little level to play but, i couldn't spend more than 20 minutes on it. Not in the bad way but, you don't get hooked on the level.

Sweet, Sweet, Garden By Wezz

Well when first looking at this level, I saw it was a moderately longer level than I expected, not because of the size but the way you have to slow down to execute tricks, especially at the end ;(. The start was alot more enjoyable than all the other parts. Why was it the best part? ....well it looked like you lost motivation near the end with badly placed stone3 textures(1),'rushed' gameplay, since the start looked and played better(lovely volting ;), using multiple ground textures can make the level look pretty bad, in some cases it looks great but not in yours. The grass is pretty even all through the level which is the upside of the level. I would suggest you should be more patience with your levels, carefully look at little detials and some parts could be more linier. I would call it "Volt, Slow, Garden".

(1)

Rating: d:D, d:D, d:D, d:D, d:D

Sweet, Sweet, Garden by Wezz

Playability : 7.9 / 10

First of all, i have to say that i was impressed by the quality of the level. The first hoyling part i pretty good, some styles but the fastest one is pretty obvious. Then, the apple is pretty badly placed. The loop is like un-smooth. The vertical part is pretty nice, a little annoying but still good. The last straight part is not excellent but, playable. Some little tricks are possible but good times will be made if hoyled violently !

Visuality : 8.5 / 10

The level looks overally good except for the masking shown by Juble in the above image and review. Besides this detail, the grass is equal through the level, color masks are nicely made. A thing i disliked is the loop effect, the line made beside the loop in the 1/3 of the level. It's a little too thin and too close to the edge of the polygon and it's not precisely masked. Anyway, beside those 2 details, the level looks pretty damn good.

Overall : 8.1 / 10

Nice level, you can play it at least 20 minutes without being bored. Some different styles are possible and it looks good. Keep an eye on Wezz, with some extra effort, he can make some nice levels.

Best time : 01;11;41

moshid by M4arv1n

Playability : 7.8 / 10

So, the start is a little annying, little pipish but any reasonable player should go over that even without pipe skills. The landing after can be annoying but, you can make a nice flip anit's good. Then, you see a "loop pipe". At first, it seemed disgusting but, it's pretty easy to go through ( I never liked curved pipes ). After, there's an esaier part, pretty smooth, nice design for a mini rollercoaster. At this point, you face the second real pipe of the level, it has the perfect width, easy to go in and out. Then, you gain lots of speed and face a "death wall". I tried to bounce on my back wheel but didn't succeed because of the speed. I then realized you have to bounce by leaning forward on the wall ( check replay ). Then, you arrive at a "hoyling" part of the level and you finish with a nice narrowed vertical upside down pipe, but it's short so, not that hard. This one is a little harder but, ...anyway, the playability is nice but not perfect.

Visualy : 8.3 / 10

At the start, it seems there won't be any colors or pictures but, i was wrong. The level is very well textured and grassed all along, just after the start. One thing i disliked was the "loop pipe", it is kinda overtextured. Don't make too much, people always like simple textures except for BarTeK's levels. The grass could be just a little better but it's quite nice. The other point i'd like to point out is : never put a secret area sign when it's not a secret area ( apple presence ). It is just annoying. The last negative thing about the level is the hang pictures in the last pipe are nice but, they are a little too much in the way of my eyes, it's already hard enough to ride pipes, don't put some pictures in our face just to be nice. Simply avoid pictures in pipes !

Overall : 8.7 / 10

Even if the playability and the visual aspect aren't perfect, the level is in the best levels i've played recently. It's fun if you like pipes and one big bounce !

Best time : 01;02;96

Elma Prison by Juski

Playability : 0.1 / 10

At first, i thought there was a way to finish the level : Bug, bounce, strange moves but after 30 seconds, i figured out that it was impossible...

Visually : 8.6 / 10

It looks pretty good. The grass is pretty much nice. The left-shape is a good eye-catch. The start spot is a little annoying for the eye but, looks good but nothing incredible like BarTeK's levels ( SNUS, SC11, Mario level, etc... ). Nothing inovative .

Overall : 2 / 10

It's fun for the first minute but then, you delete the level.

Best time : None

The valley of tales by m4rv1n

Playability : 8.8 / 10

I don't know why but i love m4rv1n's levels. The flow of the level is very good.The start is smooth and then comes a middle-air wall that forces you too slow down ( can't go over it, don't know if you can with lot of speed ). The next part is very cool, two or three ways of doing it followed by another part which can be done by two or three ways ( My favorite is the higher and fastest, a pipe ! ). Then, the only thing i dislike a little, the path before the end, little tight, easy without much speed but after the pipe, you have some serious speed. Beside that, the level is awesome.

Visually : 7.7 / 10

Good looking level. One thing that annoyed me was : the grass is a little too thin, i know it sounds stupid but, lots of guys around here like some big grass (but not huge! ). Pictures are placed reasonnably and masks are placed precisely. ... and your logo at the left of the start is very nice !

Overall : 8.6 / 10

I like a lot the level, downloaded it at school, played it for 30 minutes and decided to review it.

Best time : 00;39;66
