a 2.0 masterpiece, with lots of variety and character throughout its at-the-time ridiculous 6 minute length, funnygame's legacy is shown through a vast selection of levels which for sure includes this one as one of his biggest in my opinion.

Yet another reason FunnyGame is a Top 5 GD creator of all time

Lonely Travel is one of the first XXL levels to really succeed at everything it went for. This is made way more impressive when you realize it’s entirely in the 2.0 editor with a very low object count limit.

Despite being over 6 minutes long, there is enough variety in all the different parts that it never gets boring (unlike other XXL levels like MID RESTED). Every part of this level is iconic in its own way. This is also one of the most iconic gray levels in all of GD, something you don’t see that often in GD

That being said, Lonely Travel does have a few parts that are annoying both on original and repeat completions. The parts I think of are the one weird timing cube part around 2 minutes in, the UFO / wave part with the fireflies about 4 minutes in, and the final UFO over 5 minutes in. These parts can feel really unfair at times, and given how far they are into the level, they can cause some frustrating deaths. For this reason, I think Lonely Travel being medium demon is fair.

These chokepoints really help with building nerve control, which is one of the most important skills for new and old GD players. No other easy / medium demon I’ve played trains this skill quite as well as Lonely Travel, so I’m willing to look past these annoying choke points.

The level has an amazing sense of progression as you gradually get more color throughout the level. It builds upon the song’s beats really well. Despite having a calmer song than usual by GD standards, this level never feels boring, a testament to FunnyGame’s creativity.

It may be the oldest Travel level, but it has aged better than most and I would still consider it a must play level for GD veterans nearly 9 years later.
