66669420 is a catgirlBlitz level that I had not seen before, so I was happy to see it for the first time. catgirlBlitz is a unique core-style creator whose decoration I am a big fan of. Fortunately for this level, it has the usual strengths of her style.

For being over a year and a half old, 66669420 holds up very nicely in terms of catgirlBlitz’s progress as a creator. She used a lot of animated objects in her designs, which is a trope of hers that I am well aware of. I am a fan of the animated objects because they add liveliness to the level, where life can easily be lost under the limitations of core. Furthermore, catgirlBlitz chose to use a warm color palette for the level, which she works nicely into the level by assigning different hues to separate objects. This is a simple way to improve colors, and I like it a lot as it prevents the decoration from feeling repetitive.

However, there are some flaws with the decoration. catgirlBlitz used a lot of ground spikes to add a feeling of claustrophobia to the level. Normally I would be a fan of this inclusion, but there is a lack of detail in these ground spikes. This leads to the two extremes of over-decoration and under-decoration, which you do not want both present in a level. I believe this flaw could have been fixed, as ground spike decoration is often extremely simple to make and worth the extra effort. Additionally, 66669420 has a lack of movements. Movements are a fantastic way to add life to any level. Therefore, the absence contrasts with the energetic song, further creating a feeling of lifelessness. However, I am not going to hold this against catgirlBlitz. Movements are incredibly difficult to work into core-style decoration, and she also worked life back into her level through animated objects and pulses.

Overall, 66669420 proved to be a very nice stepping stone in catgirlBlitz’s creating career, as the level contains her usual strengths and flaws to be worked on.
