A satirical comment you often find on YouTube videos of songs that are considered bad is something along the lines of "This wasn't released, it escaped." In a sincere context however, that is what this level feels like to me, a sounding board of random ideas, a sketchbook of sorts. The name, "Test Tube", implies this. This is not really a GD level in the conventional form, and I find it strange that people are judging it as such. This is a canvas of paint splatters, perhaps a scrapped palette adorned with attempts to mix a new colour. This gives me the same feeling as listening to a "mumble demo" of a song, something you'll often find in internet leaks in unreleased music circles. In particular, Ye (fka Kanye West) is known for these demos, where a finished instrumental will play as he tries to form a rhythm by mumbling out a verse. Most of it just sounds like "sunna wunna hunna mmffpgh" as the beat plays, but oftentimes a random word will slip out, reminding you that you are not listening to an intentional work. These leaked demos are often obtained illegally through iCloud hacks, SIM swapping and social engineering. They were not meant to be heard by anyone, just a part of the artist's creative process. To listen to them feels like intruding into another person's mind, an act of voyeurism through an mp3 on KrakenFiles. "Test Tube" possesses that same eerie feeling, yet for some inexplicable reason, BlanketAddict decided to release this for the public. The twitter drama that spawned upon this level's release is also interesting on its own. It feels like Duchamp's "Fountain" for an audience entirely unfamiliar with it.

Each idea presented has potential, but as a combined experience and a first pass, I don’t find test tube to be worth more than a watch, and the Yume Nikki NoNG is just silly, and not actually representative of test levels — most use Stereo Madness, RobTop’s Random Song series or something the creator likes listening to (or in 2.2, no song at all).
