a properly appropriately rated 9 star? in this economy? preposterous

i have a bit of a soft spot for timing-based nondemons (i should write reviews on some zflovv levels) and this level, while not really having that many in them, is still pretty fun. extremely smooth sailing for a 9 star which is always appreciated in a difficulty full of misrates. i guess my one thing with this level is that the mini ship sections where you just hold up inside a tight corridor to avoid an obstacle then let go appear a bit frequently in this level and could have been replaced with some of the more interesting gameplay found in the later ship parts, but it’s not really enough for me to downgrade the rating because even then I think they fit thematically with the song. very good stuff, another 10 from me
