Kilionix is CUBICCC’s entry to the space gauntlet contest, and it’s a very pretty and highly detailed one. At any given moment, there’s a ton going on here, from crazy effects to multi layered backgrounds, there’s a ton of eye candy to enjoy. While not every part hits the same, certain parts like the first one and the one at 0:45 take advantage of a zoomed out camera and create a scenery that’s larger than life, and it does a great job at showing CUBICCC’s talent in art. The way parts flow together is also very fluent, resulting in a very cohesive level all things considered.

I don’t really like it, though. I think it looks brilliant and definitely deserves an Epic Rating, but there’s a few aspects that prevent me from loving this level. The gameplay is the main one, as it all feels like a big afterthought. So many moments are either unclear or completely blind, and I didn’t find it very fun to play when I couldn’t see own my icon at many points. Secondly, I just think that Kilionix is doing a bit too much. It feels overly flashy with exaggerated camera movements simply to keep people engaged constantly, and it feels overwhelming to me personally. I still like a lot of the effects, but I never felt like I got the chance to breathe while playing or watching Kilionix. At the end of the day, not every level is going to appeal to every person. CUBICCC did a wonderful job on this level, but I personally think things could have been toned down a bit with more of a focus on gameplay.
