The original Sonic Wave was no masterpiece, yet Sonic Wave Infinity still fails to meaningfully iterate. Most of the NC effect feels very unlively, and in general, it feels like a space theme was slapped onto here without much regard for what it would do for the level besides make it more rateworthy. The end screen is also embarrassingly long to sit through; it should be updated to add an end trigger (you can do that without screwing up the percentage, just hack verify the version that gets uploaded). Force buffing it to top 1 is the cherry atop the industrial level cake. All this effort for a work that has ultimately become forgotten by many, and I imagine future APTeam projects that take this path will succumb to the same fate.
