This is brilliant. The highlights for me were a few things. The spinning tower and how you also interact with the clouds, the part after with the shifting half blocks, and the fact that this is an all cube level. The cube is the best gamemode by far and I love how simple the gameplay is. Just a bunch of jump timings thats it. Really simple but really cool and the designs just get better throughout the level. Incredible.

Still Life? More like Stale Fries! Yea, I don’t know about you, but this is my least favorite level in the 2.2 gauntlets so far.

The gameplay is downright awful, there are definitely ways to make mini cube gameplay well, but this level is NOT one of them. Pretty much all this gameplay consists of mini cube timings over 1 or 2 spike. That is way too reptitive for my liking, and I don’t care about any “artistic” choices for why the gameplay was made like this, its not going to make me suddenly warm up to it.

To make matters worse, about the halfway through the level is the spiraling tower part, which, while admittedly a pretty impressive effect, is also annoyingly way harder than the rest of the level. And it sort of irritates my eyes to concentrate while looking at all these pulsing pink lines. This part only served to make the level even more tedious, since I almost always had to do the first half again whenever I got this part.

Plus, I’m not particularly huge on the aesthetics here. It’s mostly just another quirky “minimalistic deco with repetitious gameplay” kind of level that is far too overdone as an attempt to be different. I do like a little bit of the artwork shown here tho, but that’s about it.

I dislike this overall, and I certainly wouldn’t recommend playing it. But you’ll have to beat it if you wanna complete the castle gauntlet smh.

Nice atmosphere and decoration but ruined by boring gameplay and by cool effects that ruins the playability
