At first I really liked this level, but now I'm just indifferent about it. If I start with what's great, the gameplay concept is insane. All dual, 1x speed, NO spikes, NO saws, NO slopes, and NO wave. Those are ridiculous limitations, and I'm more surprised than anything that akun managed to make a full layout out of it. Truly unhinged behavior and I love it. Decorating something like that could not have been easy either, so I give my condolences to all of the decorators. Finally DiamondSplash must've gone through hell to verify that monstrosity. I love how absurd this level is, and how everybody involved went in on making it a reality. The cherry on top is it using the standard song Base after Base, so inoffensive that it's kind of funny.
But... upon rewatch I realized... this level's kind of ugly.
It's not repulsive, but some parts are really bad color-wise, and it does show that it probably was a challenge to decorate the layout. The deco style is unique, but it isn't all that pleasing to look at. Not to mention the jokes in the level kind of detract from it. I don't mind a tasteful joke tucked away in a level, but this one blows the text or images in your face, not acting subtle in the slightest. I think it takes away from any kind of full immersion or mood that the level brings. It's just distracting and feels like it takes away from how interesting the level is otherwise.
So yeah, now I'm mostly indifferent to the level, but I still do find it kind of fascinating.
Interesting gameplay concept though deco looks quite washed out
akunakun never runs out of ideas to make the most unhinged level ever. This is no exception. A 1x speed entirely dual with no spike top 5 level shouldn’t exist and somehow it does.
