the fact that this is the first documented use of color banding in gd is so funny to me

Something about the constant extensions of this level give it such a mysterious feel that I can't help but have a soft spot for. I don't really consider this to be "good" in a conventional sense - the whole thing is unpolished and not very well designed and also uses like 300k objects or something? It does have aura though. Definitely one of the strangest levels out there.

I learned about Edictz as a creator very recently due to their very....... interesting 2.2 levels to say the least. I was surprised to find out that they had some rated levels, with KURSK being one of them. KURSK was a level released in 2018 and was relatively uninteresting as a random minute and a half long 3 star. However, over the past couple of years, it has recieved MANY updates and now stands at a staggering 6 MINUTES LONG. It has about 200,000 objects and feels just as surreal as their recent levels.

KURSK is extremely strange visual wise, with every part seemingly changing to a completely different style, going from completely empty, to having TONS of objects on the screen at once. What I will say however, is that it fits the song extremely well. When the song is slow, the level is much more slow paced and empty, but when the song speeds up, the screen is flashed blinding white and really shows it's intensity. The level is overall just a complete mess of cohesion, with many parts utilizing 1.0 blocks for block design for one part and then being completely early 2.1 for the next.

There isn't much to say that I haven't already said about the level. KURSK is an anomaly of a level and has some of the strangest level design choices I've ever seen. It is extremely unoptimized and feels like a magic tab level, but in a way, I kinda love it LOL. It feels like True Values of Life if it was a solo level, every part is an enigma and completely different to the last and keeps the level as an interesting experience despite it being a six minute long 3 star. I think it's very cool and I enjoy it a lot :)
