One of my favorite levels of all time in terms of visuals, but the gameplay just wasn't very engaging

update; new score + actual review

Ah, Out of Place. One of the few levels over 3 minutes that doesn’t drag on. For its almost 4 minute runtime the only parts I feel are filler are the beginning and the one part with the sun artwork.

Luckily those parts have the best visuals of the whole level, so you at least have something to look at (hence “fancy desert bus”). As djudjeito said, the gameplay is intentionally very simple and easy because he wanted to focus on visuals, which is pretty respectable. Normally I would give this gameplay a low rating but the purpose of the gameplay means I will rate it higher. The song representation is also insane, and Out of Place is a banger song too

As for being a space-themed level, it doesn’t really do that. Sure, there are some “spacey” parts but this feels more like a celebration of art (What with the Renaissance-style sculptures) as a whole. That’s probably why it placed 7th and was the lowest-placed mythic overall (it’s called the SPACE gauntlet for a reason)

What amazing gameplay, I've always wanted to go in a straight line for 3 minutes! This level genuinely made me laugh when I first saw it, you literally just do nothing the whole time. And the parts where you do something are even worse somehow. Sure, the deco's pretty good, but who cares? If I put a good looking video in the background of a level and have the gameplay be 3 minutes of straightfly, it's still just straightfly.
