Looking back at this level after years the contest end. I would be really mad if I am Italian seeing this level being choosen as Italy representive. Especially over the fact that I enjoy Italian food the most.
The level starts off on hyper-realistic ground and the fact that it needs "click indicator" to direct me to play the level is already saying that the level is bad. The theming is also horrendous, you have no idea where you are going for the whole half, until the boss-fight part which is also the worst part of the level. The boss-fight is also horrible for its gameplay which I could not analyize on what was going on or whenever if I am dead because I did not click an orb. The level is a massive mappazone mess, does not represent Italy and the Italians, does not even had a single brain cell into creating the level, it only wants to impress people with technical skill which can be done easier by using better software tool.
I would rather eat mappazone foods (chicken alferdo, hawaiian pizza, heavy cream in carbonara, etc.) rather than playing this Italy level which is made by Italian creators. I also did not take its horrible Italy representation while deciding the score, it is already horrible by just playing the level.
It is better if you represent the current state of Italy, which has many unique things to represent, and you choosed to represent things that exists since the earth was born in 0 C.E.
If this was harder than it was it would be the worst gauntlet level by far. Such a mismatch of everything.
Love the storytelling in this one. Each part looks completely different, but they all feel connected. My only real complaint is that the last part is a little harder to read and can therefore be somewhat of a difficulty spike; other than that, this is an awesome level.
