This is pretty cool to look at and fun to play but was a whole cinematic cutscene at the start reeeeeeaaaaally necessary

All these people in the comments are idiots who only enjoy basic ass 2.1 levels instead of peak. This level is so good a top 10 for me, the gameplay is amazing, the visuals are stunning definitely bli's best level.

this level by all accounts should be a 3 but its so unintentionally funny that it wraps around to being interesting again--only entry that placed in the gauntlet i can remember besides out of place

A nice step back up for Bli, nothing that crazy but certainly feels serviceable enough this time.

Ah yes, Bli’s entry. What do I even need to say about this one? Well…I do have my own thoughts.

This…is basically what I exactly expect from a Space Gauntlet entry by Bli; super overly-detailed and focused on cinematic visuals, while also having a lot of 3D effects to a lot of its deco. Obviously it looks incredible, but that’s as much as I could enjoy it with that mindset. I honestly don’t really have much care for the quote-on-quote story it was trying to tell, and honestly the way it tries to tell it maybe could’ve been executed better.

And while it was still playable in the end as the actual gameplay is actually straight-forward and quite fun to play, having half of your total level’s runtime be dedicated to an opening cutscene felt like a choice made for showcaser to preview in their video rather than having the player wanting to sit through it. I am still thankful it is skippable and not designed to play within every attempt, but I’ve always been a little mixed on that overall choice.

This is what I mean on why no other Bli level will top Change of Scene, because that level nailed everything perfectly on what it was trying to aim for. This one also tries to aim for something, but the execution isn’t going to work as well for how much the woah-factor isn’t really there as much as it was. Sometimes having the best visuals the game can ever offer doesn’t exactly mean the level will still have enough substance that makes it really stand out than what was shown before. Still, huge props to Bli on how he creates his levels, and this one is no exception. But I wouldn’t lie to say I wouldn’t really want this in a gauntlet as it does start to feel like this was made to be more like a crowd pleaser than a “gauntlet” level.

Could’ve been one of the best levels in the game if it wasn’t for the fucking atrocious block design in the first drop part with the room and space shuttle taking off, definitely soured an otherwise perfect experience
