I have no qualms about the exercise of depicting quite a serious topic in an ostensibly immature medium, and I do on some level appreciate how easy this level was/is to chalk down to "GLITCH HORROR - MULPAN GD" - it radiates confidence in itself and the medium. That said, SAVE AS is a swing and a miss. The first third-ish is more than satisfactory, degradation of gameplay is plainly visible/playable and PAHC and triplebarrel are foreboding as you'd like. It's after the first few sequences that the level starts floundering and progression feels empty; SAVE AS doesn't really become any more strained or unplayable after roughly the halfway mark; there's only so much deconstruction you can do when the level is still calculated and on-rails in some way while still also requiring player input - bit of a rough catch-22 where the level might be worse off as a playable (and thus breakable) experience after a certain point. I do appreciate the discussion on GD that this level helped to continue, but I also understand PAHC's disdain for its singularity - his catalogue is a lot richer than this.
