I remember back in early 2.1 being extremely fond of this level, being a good landscape to showing the potential of how 2.1 effect levels could go about.
There’s no distinctive theme in this level, with it flowing through a mishmash of different ideas, from the cybernetic background of the first ball, to the crystal mines in the final ufo, however it feels that this is the point of the level. It’s just echonox’s attempt to bring a showcase of various effects that he’s been able to built.
It works well, the song especially compliments the level well, which also feels slightly all over the place, but still feels well and isn’t at all a bad track to be listening to whilst beating.
Another main highlight of the level is it’s transitions, one of the main reasons I like the decoration as much as I do, every transition flows extremely well between each segment, is smooth to watch, and help prevents the level looking like a mess.
While I’ve complimented the deco a lot, my overall rating isn’t too favourable since the level to actually beat is quite tedious. Gameplay feels awkward throughout, and the predrop has some timings that are quite a stretch for a medium demon.
