Cherry Coloured Funk is an extremely warm and inviting level that uses the first song off of Heaven or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins. The level seems to be based after the album cover with its very warm color scheme and open background, and I really like that :)

Cherry Coloured Funk is just under a minute long and does a very good job during its short runtime. (Although I wish it would’ve been longer LOL) The level just seems to envelop you as you play, with pink and red shining everywhere you look. I especially love the background in this level, it never changes, it’s just a row of clouds at the bottom of the level with a bunch of open air above it. The background steadily changes colors and pulses throughout the level which gives it a sense of motion, despite nothing moving in the background. I think this works really well with the atmospheric vibe of the song, and it makes it feel like you’re floating above the clouds.

The blocks in the level tend to contrast this given color scheme, usually going for a black and white or rainbow feel. They’re somehow both super fitting and look really pretty against the background, especially the rainbow. If anything, I wish the rainbow was used more LOL

I’m also a very big fan of the lamp posts that are scattered across the level. Despite when blocks change, colors change, where you go changes, the lampposts will always be there, which gives a sense of stability within the level. It’s quite nice and adds to the vibes this level already gives off :D

The gameplay, while not the most special, has quite a few memorable parts in my eyes. Specifically in the first section with the repeating buffer UFO clicks. They’re pretty easy but they sync SUPER well with the song and help with the floaty atmosphere I mentioned before! The rest of the gameplay is good but nothing to write home about. I’d probably remember it more if the level was longer personally.

This is also the first part of the series that Zeo is seeming to make, where they make a level for every song off of this album. I’m very inclined to check out the others and I’m very excited to see it finished if it’s planned to be :)
