This too, is modded Minecraft

Disp's review says this didn't win the CC because it was unfinished, but if you ask me, the unfinished version of this level was still so good I would've chosen it without a second thought. Platnuu basically disappeared from the internet for several months a little while after making it, and Sea's CC video was also unlisted, but even with no videos available for that period it still managed to stick with me.

The designs and gameplay and atmosphere and theme are all soooo good dude. There are plenty of "tech" themed levels out there, but this really is something else. It's an interconnected network of fascinating machines all sending signals to each other, tightly yet elegantly packed together for efficiency.

The system is fully online all throughout, but of course, simply running on "blue mode" isn't enough energy for that intense drop. No, we need ORANGE MODE, with MODIFIED BACKGROUNDS AND DESIGNS. I don't know what that means exactly, but I like it, and I also like the fact that some effects still remain in the 2nd blue part, like the machines have gotten some upgrades or something.

I'm aware there are actual words in that buildup (which, by the way, I love the "ship portal lens" design at the start of it), but it's so distorted that I assumed it was random vocalizations. I'm gonna pretend that's true because that fits better somehow.

8.5 .

since it went unmentioned in the reviews, the level didn't sweep Sea's contest solely because Platnuu submitted an unfinished version of the level, as he run out of time. in the older version, the level ended early and the drop was visibly rushed.

the final version of the level is quite easily one of the coolest extremes at the time and arguably still holds up pretty well!
