gorgeous level with unfortunately many flaws. this level utilizes really clean and pretty modern style deco which goes really well with the happy go lucky song (which I really really like) and has a silly personality of its own with the little guy teevi it introduces halfway through.

unfortunately for this level, its gp is quite rough. I have no issues with the first two parts, but the mini ship after the robot has an awkward fly up to avoid a really big background element turned obstacle. the angled gp is a little awkward but the first jump being music synced helps. the dual was a lot of fun for me (I particularly like the short stretch of cube-robot) but the level takes a very sudden turn from ok to not good with the progression halting introduction of teevi, who basically just puts you in a cutscene for 10 seconds, and also has the worst jump in the level: a deceptively tight two spike jump in a sideways minigame section. this was an abysmal chokepoint for me and never got consistent, really dragging down my experience. it doesn’t help that the next two parts are one with moving blocks and deceptively out of reach orbs that make the gp feel a little awkward and the ending mini robot gp which is SUPER awkward and may need extra practice to handle well.

though I really like the deco, this level gets a 3 for its unfun second half gp and the first half gp and cutscene which eventually become a slog to go through each time you die at the chokepoint. without that ONE jump this probably goes up quite a few points. really unfortunate
