"Indosiar" was a level so far ahead of its time that it only managed to scrape by with a mere star rate when it was so clearly worthy of an Epic. I'd argue that its mere star rate might be one of the most egregious sins and wrongdoings of the flawed GD rating system, as even though it is true that it had an obscene amount of objects (as well as lag) for its time, so many featured levels since have contained even more ludicrous and baffling object counts. I'd argue that if Reunomi was lucky enough to release this even a year later in 2019, it would have been practically locked for an Epic.
Grand, magnificent, breathtaking and expansive in scope, "Indosiar" is a phenomenal and exceptional level that couldn't be described as anything other than a captivating visual marvel. I still remember watching it for the first time in 2018 and being blown away by how advanced and realistic "Indosiar" was, and even 7 years later it's almost inconceivable to think that a level this detailed and mind-blowing could exist amongst its relatively bland and generic contemporaries. On a visual level, it is a fantastic tour de force, a landmark ocular odyssey that sweeps you off your feet to just marvel and gaze at the spectacular cityscapes and skylines that it subjects you to. Even to this day, it's a level that's highly impressive and admirable due to the broad, encompassing scale exhibited within it. It’s rare that a level is able to feel like it can capture the grandeur and unbelievably gargantuan scale of the big city, but "Indosiar" is able to do just that and succeed. The infinitely-stretching sky, the ceaseless seas of factories, the sprawling forest of skyscrapers. "Indosiar" truly captures what makes urban landscapes so remarkably special and distinct.
The weakest aspect of "Indosiar" is likely its gameplay. It's definitely a little learny and demands a few attempts or a practice run to fully decipher how to proceed onwards. The gameplay definitely does take away a little from the beauty of the incredible backgrounds, especially due to the need to split your attention between staying alive or staring in awe at the visual bliss bestowed upon you.
All in all, "Indosiar" is a level that is far ahead of its time. It's a captivating and enrapturing level that truly embodies the expansive nature of the megalopolis. It's a level that makes you realize how small we humans are in comparison to the concrete jungles we have constructed and established. I should really get around to checking out "Anesthesia" however, because that is a whole other breathtaking beast of a level to tackle.
