This level is marred by a mismatch between what its surface aesthetic and how it actually works to play it. The level appears to be super chaotic, experimental, freeform, etc. But when you actually sit down to play it, you realize very quickly that you're on rails. Each part has exactly one intended way of doing it, and instead of getting you down that path through good design, it just puts a toggle orb and death barrier so that you're forced to do it the exact intended way. Every possible variation is controlled for; invisible teleportals are constantly realigning you so that the level doesn't break. I just fundamentally hate this way of designing levels, especially when the level is leading me to believe it's trying to be somewhat experimental. It might be that this contrast is intentional, but if so it doesn't register as such, and either way I would find it frustrating.

Nonetheless, I did enjoy this level. The gameplay, when done as intended, is fun, and the decoration is abrasive yet simultaneously very pretty. I just wish the gameplay ethos matched it.
