seen this level through a friend(hello kmr!) when i asked for some inspo on a level i was working on and i found it really surprisingly well done with its simplicity, pretty much just a chill level, ive got nothing more to say other than this has some pretty cool colors and vibes, the gameplay isnt anything special considering the intensity of the song, its not anything too bad but i personally like it for the simplicity

The lyrics look so ugly and take up over the entire level, it's a desperate call to represent an already underwhelming song, can I ask what was trying to be done here exactly?

Surprisingly I had never actually seen or played this level until today! I certainly understand the massive collective draw to Luella just like with any of Deffie's other levels. Luella in particular has some great color work with a ton of bright green highlights, as well as a very fun, groovy, and laid-back atmosphere that meshes with the song better than any other creator could do it. I'm not even sure what it is that pushes me away from this level, since any particular aspect of it is done very well. If anything I'd say it's probably the in-game lyrics, but even those aren't obtrusive or anything less than "kind of cute." I suppose I just enjoy levels without lyrics the best, like with Zoroa's Inspirative series or even Well Rested to stay with the same creator. I suppose Kero Kero Bonito's work on the song speaks well enough for itself that any sort of lyrical representation in that level didn't need to be as literal. Luella also stays pretty tonally constant over its runtime, much more than a lot of my favorite XLs, so that could be a part of my lack of draw to it, but I still wouldn't say it's done poorly. Luella is just a very solid 7 all around, I suppose.

i thank kneecaps for introducing me to nelward like a year before this level was released

not even joking i think this is my favorite deffie level, and maybe on my top 10 levels oat, amazing color usage and the song representation is immaculate. this is the level that made me realize deffie was goated
