Beautifully absurd

Can't say a lot about this other than the fact that it's a much more overpolished and cut down version of a concept that has been done before. If you have seen MR PUZZLE by Fofii you'll know what I'm talking about. It predates this, uses the same song and idea of picking the right object. Ultimately you cannot judge this level without bringing the other one up. I find Fofii's level a lot more genuine and charming, because it takes its silliness in a less serious way, and all the parts feel connected in a way. OBJECT PERMANENCE on the other hand doesn't evoke the same feeling on me. The non-question parts feel disconnected while the questions themselves feel too polished to even pass it off as a joke level.

It definitely deserves the rate especially after those 30 sends (which I guess is what made the level most popular for after all) but rather than a fun joke level it just seems like that was the intention all along.

I should get out of the way that I absolutely want this level rated. I'm not sure how many sends this level has but it's somewhere above 30 and it's absolutely overdue at this point. Personally though, it's not totally my cup of tea. It's not exactly that I'm not a fan of the song, more so that I think there's a lot of missed potential. I love the Mr. Puzzle character throughout the level, but I think the TTS dialogue is a very underrated part of the song and pretty much goes without acknowledgement. The song also shouldn't have been cut, I think having the first half meander for longer before the mood shift happens would have fit better. Also why leave him out of the ending??? The last part is actually a good chunk of the reason why I didn't like the level as much as I could have, it's just not really satisfying and I feel like it's teed up to be much better than it is. That's pretty much it for the criticisms though, Object Permanence is pretty creative and the mood shift is executed really well. The lineart is super pretty too, it's very distinctly doodle-y and I think it's really cute. I'm sure literally everyone on the mod team has seen this level at some point but whatever you guys can do to get this rated would be awesome!!
