Amazing level ruined by poor gameplay...

it can definitely show a bit of early update jank in some of the designs, but at a pure emotional level, besides probably new earth, is probably taman's strongest. not best level in general, for sure, but there really are almost no levels in the game with as strong of a buildup and payoff. that alone is its greatest strength, cuz like goddamn that first sunset part and some of these designs. has an atmosphere i can pretty confidently say no other gd level has, especially impressive for a borderline overused song at the time

Going from an innocuous design level to pure calmness is such a fantastic move. This changed lives and whooped my ass psychologically
