still one of my all-time 2.2 favs, I find it very visually cohesive and varied to give a sense of steady progression that I enjoyed a ton throughout watching

love the surrealist aesthetic it goes for, especially the fake script the level has in place for the song's vocals and other moving elements providing ambiance, not much visual clutter as well which I'm very biased towards (what's the point otherwise if it's all visual noise in the end)

watching the gameplay as a viewer (I'm not good enough to beat it myself at this point in time) verticality's a worthy mention especially in the early parts, I don't think I've seen a lot of levels even after the release of this having so much height difference in gameplay

theme-wise I loved how the player goes from just strolling on the streets at the start to the city slowly crumbling while the song goes on, and it fills the progression with an uncanny feeling, the world's ending and you're still just running through it like you do every other level

but it's still just a level at the end of the day, right?

On my flight from Eswatini to New Brunswick, the quaint motherland of my forefathers, I had this level and only this level saved. Entranced by the definingly “maxxormen” style of the road and structures in the first segment, I pursued on, achieving 13% after the whole plane ride. I had been so engaged by the experience I failed to notice my wife’s angry gaze as she struggled to urge me into the aisle when she got her sudden shits, a habit which I implored her to improve. Thoroughly enthused by Cityfade, but the UFO part is a bit infuriating.

this level is very good and cool but after the 1st watch, i keep falling asleep while watching or playing it!!!

and it was made by maxxormen so FEATURE!!!

The first part demonstrates the level's scale in both space and duration so well that it becomes increasingly frustrating with every subsequent section that drags on and on. The disaster/societal collapse narrative is presented quite well once it gets going, at least. Maybe I just don't appreciate slow cinema.

Beating this level made me so nervous that I caused a mini earthquake in my room during the sideways part in the completion attempt
