Really awesome in theory, extremely dumb in practice.

I've been unsure what to do regarding most of the levels I've uploaded on this site, but considering its a collab and I put in a substantial amount of time to actually beat it, I thought it would be nice to rate it here.

I couldn't be happier with the visual execution of the theme that my team was able to do, especially given the time constraints. Even the visuals of the gameplay impose a dreadful level of intimidation and I think the whole thing sells the ninja theme extremely well. Despite being made to be unapproachable (which I think it certainly succeeds in doing), actually tackling and defeating this level is something else. I think the reputation this level gets for its gameplay quality is a bit undeserved, despite this level easily being my hardest completion, I don't think the playing experience was that bad. If I was a better player, I would not have had a rough time. The central gimmick of the whole level was only a bit annoying in practice, but I never had to go through the process of actually "solving" it, so I can't give too good of an opinion.

Originally, I was going to give this a 9/10, but after trying to list my favorite parts here, I realized I love every single individual part of the level, all for different reasons.
