I'm only giving it a 1 and not a 0 bc I think the original is great so I wanted to give it some respects with the score here.

However, it will of course not get anything more than that. Aleph 0 was released over 6 years ago at this point. It was a revolutionary level for its time as it successfully managed to push the boundaries of what was possible to make in this game. It might not be as impressive today due to all the stuff 2.2 brought to the game but for its time, this level had some of the coolest effects ever that blew all of our minds.
And yet, after a whooping 6 YEARS after it dropped, this random guy was like: "yo, what if we added shaders to it?". I do not like that idea at all, it completely misses the point of the level and is always gonna make it a downgrade over the original. However, I would be fine with it as long as the result is interesting.
And this is where my biggest gripe with this "level" comes.

You took Aleph 0, a level that completely redefined what was possible in the game 6 YEARS AGO and picked it back in 2.2, 6 YEARS LATER, and THE ONLY THING YOU ARE GONNA GIVE IT IS SHADERS???????????

Like, if you are going to steal a level to 2.2-ified it, at least do it correctly, make it interesting, there's so many cool things added by 2.2 that could make a Aleph 0 2.2 update. Only giving it shaders is literally the least cool thing you could've done which completely makes this version pointless. The worst thing is, the shaders they added are ugly 😭😭😭

Why are all the levels I want to actually review not on here but a random ass aleph 0 copy with shaders is?

Also I agree with sumplusworld

Nexus has fallen to the soulless slop

Kinda the point of Aleph 0 was that it did things that didn't seem possible with the 2.1 editor. This takes away any charm of the original level.
