Sky Tower: Classic Rafer design with (imo) SHK's best song. Love the color progression from the cool blue of the seas to a burning orange of the skies. Not much else to say here; aged incredibly well. Rafer levels as a whole basically don't age but this one in particular feels especially timeless. Probably Rafer's best.

The Cellar Path: honestly I really don't get the hype on this one. I know JamAttack spent like a billion hours making this but at the end of the day when it comes to the final product it's...fine, I guess? I mean, it's a "good" level, obviously, well-decorated and extremely polished, but it's also an incredibly safe level as well. There's nothing in it that hasn't been done, and been done better, by other levels. There's so many "good" levels coming out these days that this one just doesn't stand out in any way from the thousands of other epic-rated "good" levels out there. Extremely forgettable and paint-by-numbers imo.

devin2003: I am gonna get mauled by hyperbolus for this take but I do not like devin's works LMFAO. That being said, devin2003 is probably my favorite of the bunch, even if it has quite a few segments that I'm not particularly fond of. The metatextual callbacks to previous devin works is more interesting than actually worthwhile, I get that this is supposed to be like a supercut of devin's creating career and personality but it barely does anything with it besides spot-the-reference "oh, here's red room." regardless, some parts are still very neat, and I do think devin is a great artist, but art is about restraint just as much as it is about impulse and devin's works have always leaned way too much towards one side of that balancing act.
