the optimization is amazing, the theming is great, buuuuut this isn't even top 3 discord gauntlet in my opinion

This level desperately wants to be altergame ii, which is insane because altergame ii isn't a good level either

It kinda spawned a trend that I really do not like to be honest.. I can see the appeal from certain aspects, though. there's a lot of variety in this level and the optimization is innovative for it's time.

may have not aged the best but still full of fun and character, i like :)

This type of art level is unfortunately not my thing but I get the hype

This level is very overrated in my opinion, but I will admit it is still one of the more impressive Late 2.1 easy demons.

First of all, the gimmick of theater mode vs reality mode is amazing and probably the best use of the split mechanic in the Discord Gauntlet contest. That being said, from a grinder perspective there’s really no reason to ever play reality mode so both times I beat this level I used theater mode. This may have reduced my enjoyment a bit. Another issue is that in 2.2 on mobile, I encountered a bug where you always die when you enter the spider after the spam wave unless you buffer click which is not communicated by the level. This may have been fixed so this might be a moot point.

The song choice is amazing and the gameplay goes with it very well. I especially like the ending of this level with the super fast-paced gameplay. Every part is memorable in its own way. It is also impressive how optimized this level is with its low object count.

That being said, I think there are hundreds of late 2.1 levels that are of similar or higher quality. I cannot agree with the “bli glazers” who call this one of the best levels of all time. It’s a great level - just not one of the best of all time. If not for the Discord Gauntlet contest, I think people would have forgotten this level, or at least wouldn’t have praised it so highly.

Quite frankly, the most overrated level of all time, i really dont get the hype behind it, to me, it just feels like a generic 2.0 level with a coat of paint on top. This level offers nothing special in terms of theming and atmosphere, and the desaturated colors really dont help either. Overall just a bland level taken to insane heights.
