such a "scientifically" perfect level but i have very little emotional attachment to it sadly. it’s incredible purely on a technical level, it IS the pinnacle of neodesign like everyone says (despite how far detached it is from other levels in the style), that’s impossible to disagree with, but i think because of that it’s not something that could really be a favorite of mine. feels much more of a showcase of the style and its strengths than something i can really meaningfully connect with. i’ve kind of struggled with not “loving” this level considering its reception and the fact that it is undeniably really fucking good, but i think my inability to make a subjective connection to the level makes a little more sense now; it’s so universally good it’s extremely hard for it to feel specific and personalized. i’ve had pretty strong, complex reactions to stuff in this game before, especially other cometface levels, but this one never seemed to extend beyond awe. it’s a feat and a half, really on all counts a perfect level, but it unfortunately stops there in my mind. maybe someday it’ll really click but it just hasn’t yet
