Insidee is the creator of one of my favorite recent levels, Lovers Sadness, and being completely honest i didnt really find myself interested in their previous levels, since from what i recalled they were mostly just their attempts at solidifying their footing, making themselves a space in the creating landscape so their really amazing stuff could shine through later. Feral would be the prime example of that, a level thats not really all that good or meaningful but very impressive and audience gathering. Before that however is kind of unexplored territorry with a lot of levels that are experimental, uncompromising, offputting. 1052 STEP definitely fits this category, being a 1.9 GDPS level without a specific goal in mind but more so a show of Insidees creative ability. Theres some beautiful color work in here, definitely the highlight of the whole level, very reminiscent of millepatte or durianhead but still with its own psychedelic effect exascerbated by the levels flashiness. Its very quick, it really reflects the anxious nature of the song. The UFO part is especially good at this hitting the tempo almost perfectly. The composition is also very unique showing the level more through short vignettes than free-flowing parts, somewhat like a montage.

good level

A neat 1.9 extreme demon featuring gameplay that is cleverly made to appear as though the player is teleporting between two halves of the screen. Unfortunately, it's quite short and doesn't quite end on a satisfying note. It would have been a lot nicer if the level either ended 15 seconds earlier or lasted a lot longer, until a more opportune moment in the song presented itself.
