Intensity to its purest form.

It really is difficult to make such a well executed level despite it’s short duration and especially since it has basically no proper build-up, but somehow, this is exactly what Insidee managed to do.

Everything about this was so unique for its time. I’m pretty sure this was one of the first rated levels that used a song from Radiohead, at least, it was the first time I’ve seen a level with a song from them. The gameplay is also unique as well, it has a lot of interesting ideas that represents the chaotic nature of the song extremely well, while still being super enjoyable to play overall, which is basically what I always look for in a Geometry Dash level. And finally the deco. I was always intrigued by it. The first time I saw this level, I was so amazed bc of how bold it was with its ideas. They’re not that complicated but they were not like anything I’ve seen prior to that point. The use of shakes and that one trigger was pretty new at that time and, it is a very easy way to make things look chaotic, but it worked super well bc of how these were balanced out with everything else. The shakes are not explosive and overwhelming but they are necessary to give a "fuzzy" aspect to the level. That one trigger is also well used. And I like the flashes used

However, I don’t think anything I’ve said so far justifies why I love this level so much, to the point that it became my 2nd favorite level in this game.

If you’ve seen any of my reviews, you might have noticed that a lot of levels I gave high scores to are levels that have, in my opinion, exceptional song representation. That is because to me, the song is THE MAIN aspect of an outstanding level. The song alone makes or breaks a level for me. It doesn’t even matter if I don’t even like love the song to death ofc, as long as the manners in which the song is represented are unique, well made and well thought-out, it will automatically be an awesome level to me, no matter what.

This is exactly for this reason that Feral became a classic to me. Despite its short-length, it was able to use its song to its fullest by delivering a level with intense gameplay and decoration. That made for a surreal experience to me like never before or after. I was feeling it. It felt like this level was showing me the song but in a different medium that helped me realizing what the song was going for and this is why I love it this much.
