Lately I have been getting a lot of stars, (I recently reached 20k) and thanks to this I have been able to see multiple types of levels, styles and above all, different creators, recently I have been playing levels of the creator AgSilver, a creator with quite interesting levels in his catalog, however all are related to a modern style quite characteristic, with custom structures and pastel colors, his most recent level “Tigers Den” gives a 180 degree turn to his characteristic style.
This level is born from the level trend known as “Zen Dash”, an event (already concluded) in which selected creators create levels for a spin-off of Geometry Dash World, which means that these creators make short levels, with a rather simple style, just like the levels of the aforementioned game. However, AgSilver adds its own original touch to this trend, making a short level, but with details that make this level stand out quite a lot but without losing the idea of this trend.
If I could describe this level in a simple way, it would be “Interesting and very varied”, playing this level was a completely hectic experience, because with such a short duration, the level constantly changes decorations and environments, making it overall not repetitive at all, but not too intense either, it's a perfect mix of intensity and originality.
Looking at it more analytically, the level progresses quite well, it starts with a simple first part, with a forest environment, the structures, although they are quite standard in terms of shape (rectangular) have small details that make them stand out, such as small blocks that resemble tiger skin, these blocks are white and orange, giving a nice touch of variety to this part. As the song progresses, the intensity of this level increases in a pretty clean way, this is noticeable in the “drop” part, in which the environment changes to a temple, with a simple pillar background, however AgSilver separated the background into layers, making the feel of depth in this background, giving more realism with simple things, which I admire very much. This part has small mini ship sections where the mood changes for seconds to something more psychedelic, this change fits perfectly with the song, I really liked this level. Finally we move to a wave section, having a more ghostly atmosphere, with blue and light blue tones. Despite not being a big fan of the wave wake effect, I found it quite original.
On gameplay issues, the level has a gameplay worthy of a 6 star level, however I could notice that some parts are more complicated than others, making it a bit inconsistent in terms of gameplay and difficulty (just a bit, so it's still ok for a 6 star), these more difficult sections are the ones with the mini ship, as the camera movement hurts the readability of these sections a bit. Obviously the level gets harder with the coin route, but it's not a big deal (however, I found the idea for the coin very original and fun).
Overall “Tigers Den” is the clear example that simplicity can do great things, and can make the difference when giving a visual spectacle to the player, AgSilver did a splendid job with this level.
