definitely unfortunate we never got more of dhafin in his final form cuz he was really breaking into fascinating places in design, this being the obvious keystone. there's definitely a little taman influence but i can't really think of many other obvious influences. the sparseness of certain parts is something that needs time to grow on you, really the whole level is, but i def think this should be a classic among ppl interested in this era

absolutely one of the most charming levels i have EVER played. its decoration style works SO WELL with the music and i cant put into words why i think that. ig something about the level feels really cheerful and "carefree", which is also the vibe i get from the music (i hope im making sense). the progression in this level is also utterly beautiful, and the ending will never not give me goosebumps.

while i love this level to bits, i will have to admit the gameplay is very weird. the very beginning is stupid hard compared with the rest, and theres a couple of weird invisible shenanigans in other parts of the level. if you can work around the inconsistencies though, it should hopefully be a blast to play. despite the gameplays drawbacks, i absolutely recommend playing this level, because its an experience like no other and getting to the ending feels incredibly rewarding!

really memorable level, and an absolutely perfect pairing with its music. imo definitely dhafins best!
