Fellow reviewer playeruan has cooked a surprisingly faithful 1.9 remake of the legendary 2.0 megacollab Fusion Z. I personally really appreciate how this feels like a real, plausible 1.9 level; none of the designs are outstanding, and many are reminiscent of popular creators around the time like MaJackO, Xaro, etc. The designs consist primarily of metal and other default blocks, with many flat black structures. It's a bit of a nostalgia trip, honestly, and brings me back to the days of levels like Toxin Lab II that really popularised the intense flashes and shifting of colours between shades of green and pink alternating with the base reddish orange theme. It's an easy way to add to the level's overall intensity, and in my opinion looks very nice especially considering the heavy limitations of the 1.9 editor.

Unfortunately, this is still a fairly unremarkable 1.9 level. The gameplay is fun, but ultimately pretty flat and doesn't do much to represent the song aside from click sync in some areas. I do think that even in 1.9, we saw certain creators like Millepatte making use of unique movements and repeating concepts to represent certain song elements, and that's something that really helps tie a level together with its song, so its absence here ends up leaving the gameplay feeling pretty bland. The cohesion from part to part is also spotty at best, and while it's nice that each individual part has its own style and flair from its respective creator, I would have liked to see more repeating elements like structuring, design choices and gameplay elements rather than just the overarching, vague reddish colour scheme.

It's cool seeing creators work within the limits of the 1.9 editor, however in Fusione's case I don't think it really helps the level. I would like to see better use of concepts such as creative song representation with gameplay that aren't as affected by editor limitations from modern 1.9 levels.
