Very cool but jesus christ, 8 minutes and the level stays very similar for the entire runtime. 😭
"there's like a couple cool parts but im not going to remember them in a sea of 7 minutes long fire hell extreme demon megacollab"
-Professional Film Critic Drangnalud September 16 2023
quite decent as far as modern top 1s go but that is Not a high bar and i don't think a level should get undeserved credit simply because the levels that preceded it are so terrible. flamewall is a red/orange 1.9 hell-styled megacollab (wonder where i've heard of that before) with a song that is far too grandiose given it's attached to a decoration style that has been the status quo for top 1s since 2015. i do appreciate how this is the first top 1 to truly push its runtime, even if it ends up feeling very samey and forgettable throughout
I mean its alright. I appreciate that the structures hold still and I quite like some parts but it does have some low points and kind of devolves into a bit of a mess sometimes. My main issue are the pulses actually, they get really obnoxious at times and kinda give me a headache. I do like the style though and overall its fine. This is a long ass level and some bad parts wont drag it down too much.
I've been waiting for this day to come.
I said in my Aeternus review that I would really like to see a Top 1 level that challenges EVERYTHING. All gamemodes, all skillsets, basically literally everything that a top player knows into GD and put into the ultimate test. I'm gonna be honest when I say this... but I knew long ago that Flamewall is the exact level that I am looking for in a Top 1 the moment I looked at it. The sheer amount of intensity, the overall length of the level, the gameplay, the difficulty, utilization of all gamemodes (minus swing, because this was 2.1), this level really has it all. Not to mention, it looks incredibly good. It's a fire themed level with deco kept to 1.9 with a hint of 2.0 and 2.1, representing the song (of the same name) by Camellia insanely well. It is very damn satisfying to look at in both the gameplay and the deco department, and it's one in which I find particularly interesting.
Rarely do I ever praise a (supposedly) Top 1 level so much that I even consider it one of my Top 3 favorite extreme demons in the game (alongside Protoflicker and Network (Agat3)), but I do feel as if this level deserves it. I genuinely really like this level a lot, and it's one that I hope it picks up that interest factor for me and Top Play in general (if people even attempt to go for it... lol)
i used to pray for times like this
One of my new favorite extremes possibly ever. I've always loved Flamewall as a song and I'm SOOOO happy this level exists!!!!! It's so energetic the entire way through and I've never once been bored while watching a showcase of it :) I hope this can get an epic rate because I love this level sososoos much., the last part is so tense and fits the song so well, possibly my new favorite top 5 extreme ever
