Definitely a very influential level in the game, so influential in fact that Robtop even temporarily stopped rating Nine Circles levels until Bausha Vortex. This level is inspired by a map in Open Hexagon fittingly called Nine Circles, where Zobros took that map and used it to inspire his own in GD. Levels like these are often frowned upon or looked up upon, and it really depends on who you are, but I always liked levels like these, and I am happy this level exists. As for gameplay, it can be a bit weird to play, I beat this back in I believe 2019 or 2018 as a new hardest of the time, and this level annoyed me a lot when I beat it. Nowadays though, I probably wouldn't hate it as much as I did back then. As for visuals, they were unique and creative for their time, using the 1.9 limits of color channels (which was 4) and using them in the way Nine Circles did was a really well executed style.
