i definitely agree that quarion should try more to deviate from its source material but unlike what abso said its not really ripping off you have to win the game. most of the visual assets (if not all) are original even if theyre inspired from yhtwtg. gameplay and mechanic wise its very similar but visually i think its more appealing. very fun experience but i highly recommend playing on pc/laptop due to the controls.

"Inspired" by You Have To Win The Game is an understatement, it's not a direct replica by any means but this level doesnt do a whole lot to separate itself from its primary source. It's a fun metroidvania experience all around, the rooms are memorable enough to make navigating the world fairly doable. Despite the experience falling into monotony more and more over time, there is a solid attempt at keeping things fresh with new abilities and some varying assets/scenery, the repetition is a serious critique for a level of this length but I wouldn't call it an insultingly bad quality in this case. I believe the bigger issue to sit in the level suffering from an identity crisis, the physics and the entire visual approach are customized beyond recognition of what makes plat mode what it is and I dont think GD serves as a real game engine in that sense. Its overwhelming amount of ambition is simply redundant, and with how poorly it blends in with the rest of levels on the server it feels more like a form of false advertising than real ingenuinity. The structure of the level is designed really well, it's undeniably a fun time for anyone obsessed with metroidvanias, but I cant overlook the patrionizing nature of the level trying so hard to be something that wont fit its role well. I wouldn't recommend against playing it per say, it's just not my thing

incredibly frustrating knowing a lot of this level is kind of just ripping off an already existing game. i think this level is one of the most fun levels ever made and looks amazing to go with that, but knowing that it's basically just a remake really kills it (also not to mention the original game i dont even think was originally credited lol)

giving it a 5 but it would be a 10 with original ideas

This is one if not the best platformer level in the game. This style is what I would like to see more in other levels, such an excelent work in the pixel art. I don’t rank its gameplay a 10/10 because on mobile the P2 controls in general are horrible to deal with, but beating it on a laptop was hella fun :D
