Very fulfilling level with great progression. Some parts could use some touchups visual-wise, particularly Balloon's part and the final part. Others work supremely well and take full advantage of the theme and song like YoReid, Grax, and especially Presta's part. Gameplay wise, I would have wished for a different approach with Grax's part. I really enjoy that the gameplay goes downward in parallel with descending into the earth's core, and when we enter the ?????? zone, it was really neat seeing the reverse portal used. Personally I would have gone further and make these subsequent parts even stranger, but I guess with being a World Gauntlet entry they needed to keep the level somewhat accessible.

The gauntlet contests have always been a bit of a wash for me, creating a myriad of levels that oscillate between pretty good (Subdivision Zone), boring (Slasher), and deplorable (Bussin). But every once in a while, a team submits something that stops me in my tracks. PLANET X is truly a diamond in the rough, one of the most thrilling, disorienting, relentless, and captivating levels I think is in the game.

What's even more wonderful is that it scored so highly in the gauntlet! It's not often that you see such incredible work shoved in the faces of hundreds of thousands of players rather than into obscurity. This level is also a megacollab between a few timely titans of the GD creating sphere, which makes this level's quality even more miraculous.

Just like the coveted celestial body it's named after, PLANET X is a truly an anomaly!
