This isn't a 5 because I feel tame about this level. In fact, I feel very conflicted. It makes so so many decisions that I can't stand. The long intro, the lack of clarity as to what is and isn't solid, the dumb cartoon art style, it should all combine to make a level that I hate. But it really doesn't, because even though I don't usually like these kinds of levels, I can tell that this one has a soul. It doesn't just aim to be impressive and flashy. The middle robot is especially understated compared to the rest of the level. There are so many small details which show that a level of care and fidelity went into this that isn't present in most levels, my absolutely favorite being the little smudges on the iPad that appear whenever you jump, indicating that a finger is pressing the screen. They're so faint, you can barely seen them, but Player Time still included them and I think that's beautiful. It's a shame the level isn't fun to play, because it truly could have been great if it were.
