Putting Red Orbs over Triple Spikes in a Michigun memorial level feels like slapping a corpse
"Rest In Peace" is a level created by PICAAAAAA almost 4 years ago as a form of...... tribute to the death of Michigun???? It is pretty unclear what the true intentions of this level were but nevertheless, a tribute is a tribute, so I'll have to give that in Pica's defense. Still a pretty shady memorial tho.
Since everyone's been complaining about this level here I decided to give it a shot myself and I found out I already beat this??? Maybe it was in a stargrinding session back in the day but I did not remember this level. Gameplay is boring and deco is flashy but generic. I cant really comment any further.
My issue with this being a tribute to the death of Michigun isnt actually that it is made to farm creator points or whatever, it's the fact that there's nothing reminiscent of Michigun's legacy. Rest In Peace is not a "Temple of Time" by DavJT or, more underground, a "Three Years" by Geomaniac. The level is just generic and does not do anything that serves as a tribute aside of some random bland and neutral may I say texts.
All I can say now is that I'm glad we've seen Pica grow up creatively from this and I'm sure this is just one bad apple among his levels. A REALLY bad one though.
What WKGames misses entirely with why people view this level so negatively is the disingenuous nature given the shakey text with the black glow being used as this old timey filter, it just looks like a regular ass level that wouldn't mean anything if the text was gone. Being honest with you I don't mind using text in levels at all! Sometimes a thought is best represented through words; this does not really work in this case as it feels just like any other awarded tab level in the process. Matter of fact Michi's death (and I'm afraid this might happen with Bridget as well a little bit) shows the lengths of what people in this game will do for recognition even if it means to demean such a topic.
