Starbladesaster by ElMatoSWAG is an interesting Space Gauntlet Entry level. ElMatoSWAG is quite a talented creator, but this level unfortunately has a couple of flaws that make it hard to enjoy. The gameplay itself is very unengaging, even for a 3* level. It relies on rapid transitions with no input and an occasional jump indicator aided click or orb click. There's not much else to it. The visuals itself are pretty cool, and it's decently optimized, but since there are so many transitions and camera movements it is very hard to appreciate the art. You barely see it on screen before it switches, and the storyline the level seems to portray is completely lost. I fully expect the creator to take the feedback into account for the next level, but this level is really hard to enjoy in its current state.
I think I've found my 2nd ever guilty pleasure level
Good part first, I FUCKING love the character design of the boss. A giant eldritch god that's fucking up the entire universe? The asymmetry of the design? The usage of the sword? All awesome as fuck.
What I don't like about this level is the gameplay and the camera controls.
The gameplay is way too forgiving and extremely thoughtless. It's all just wait for several seconds and then tap throughout almost the entirety of the level.
The camera controls are also absolutely miserable. They're the only type of song representation that this level has and it just does not execute the representation well. It's only there to cover up the extreme lack of gameplay as well as the surprising emptiness of the foreground. The only moment where the camera control wasn't just a huge pushover was the planetarium (which is actually just a place with a bunch of glass) but even then there was quite a bit of camera control abuse. I do like the part where it zooms out to expose more and more of the star demon's face, though.
Despite these two glaring issues, I... kinda like it? Maybe it was the surprisingly good progression that was hindered by the sub-par gameplay and the camera controls.
I genuinely cannot tell if this level is supposed to be a parody or not? I get that this creator has levels in this same style, but this level in particular is just so obnoxious, with a ton of random elements being glued together with camera and shader effects.
