pride (the concept) is all about loudly and unashamedly showing our true, queer colors without caring about what outsiders may make of us.

pride (the level) is an overbaked modern level that cycles between different dull, washed-out pride flag color palettes, obscured by so many layers of low opacity black, random little details, and pulses to black/white that the whole level feels like it's actively trying to hide what it claims to celebrate.

whereas pride (the concept) is about love and defiance, pride (the level) is about hesitation and obfuscation. there's so many interesting directions you could take a level centered around the queer experience, so it's a shame nearly all of them take the same uninspired approach of simply using pride flag color palettes. but even with these low expectations, pride still falls short.

Looks great throughout. Stays in its lane (ironically) and is good at what it does.
