Scappando dal mio destino con questo.

I'm so glad to see Mattewgame return and especially with something so potent. There are a couple areas which feel a bit inconsistent with the theme for me (not exactly sure how the rockstar boss fits with the overall narrative) but for the most part this level stays true to its message regarding hate, atonement, and moving on from the past. And this idea gets brilliantly paired with the gameplay and bossfight mechanics, which is a type of gameplay I've been really wanting to see in GD (that blend where the gameplay works to service the ideas rather than operating outside of them).

I'm still a bit hesitant on possible plagiarism, and I do wish that Mattewgame provided inspirations and references. I'll hold on to hope that he stayed true to his own creative ideas though.

this level makes no sense to me.

to admit I've never been the biggest fan of mattewgame levels because they end up being incredibly forgettable for me, or the gameplay ends up being really annoying (tears of denial). at first when I saw he made smth new I was worried because I got very annoyed with tod but when I played it for myself I was relieved to find that it's like super easy. the gameplay in his bossfights have definitely gotten a lot better as I had a lot of fun playing this (and to be honest I genuinely have no idea how almost everyone else I've seen play the level doesn't understand it). deco wise I'm very glad mattew has moved more away from the pixel asset bossfight deco because his levels look sooooo much better without them, and this level especially ended up looking completely insane, the cutscenes also look fantastic and add so much for me. I do really appreciate the story telling in this level, even if the story is really dark and sad I think it presents itself extremely well. I beat this level before it was rated and was shocked by how graphic it was but also really liked that, not many levels decide to be this graphic and it made the level a lot better. unfortunately mattew ended up censoring some of the level and I got really disappointed by that, and I think it ruins some of the story of the level and it's like whyyyyyyy :(((((((

anyways good level

Playing this artpiece and then immediately seeing mods in the comments ask mattewgame to censor it made me irrationally furious in a way that I don't think I've ever experienced before in geometry dash.
