interesting little platformer first rate here. the concept is a bit interesting, though it has been done before with levels like "Everything kills you" by thearmyants, but i do think it separates itself a bit through just how silly it is.. each room is filled with silly demotivational posters, and the level's second half features a bunch of silly original gameplay concepts such as death to greed (picking up three dollars on the ground), death to boredom (spending too long looking at fine art), or going on a date with a spike and having 9 children. YIPPEE!!!! on top of that, the level changes visual style often and manages to look pretty neat for a first rate most of the time. neat stuff

so that all sounds pretty good and all, but unfortunately the level's execution ended up bringing it down quite a bit for me.. mainly just how unbalanced this level was. some sections were noticeably more unfun and tedious than others. in the first half, the size portal room and the teleport portal rooms were much more difficult than the other three rooms there were. i feel for a 9 star the size portal room was a bit overly reliant on annoying coyote jumps, and the teleport portal room really just was TEDIOUS thanks to a low ceiling and really small platform making a jump really really unintentionally difficult. and that part's only at the start of the room, so then you have to go through the rest of it and not screw up or risk going back to square one through more low ceilings and uncertain jumps. in comparison, the room where blocks constantly shifted in size was extremely straightforward. the second half was a bit more well balanced, though still suffered a bit during the aforementioned greed level being harder than all the other rooms by a long shot.

in addition to the balancing, the level only has one song playing for almost its entirety as you platform, being a sort of hazy, lo-fi ish synthwave song. i probably wouldnt have minded it as much if the rooms werent so unbalanced and i was stuck listening to it for about 38 minutes, where i got really sick of it really quickly. the only time it really changes up during playtime is in the brief spike dating section. so thats not very fun.

the creator's thankfully said in the comments that he's looking for balancing issues in the level, so i hope that some of these are ironed out in the future and the level becomes a lot more fun, but until then i cant really give this level the highest praise in the world, despite its charm. the creator is certainly very promising in the gameplay variety department though, so i hope to see more creative levels like this in the future :3
