The best RobTop level, both from a tutorial perspective and in a vacuum. The out-of-the-box firepower that such a blaring future-techno soundtrack and aggressive, forward structuring provide is utilized perfectly to craft a truly mind-blowing climax that subsides only slightly into a landscape so harsh it feels almost alien. We're living in 2025 and even now, every time I hit play Dry Out convinces me that upside-down jumps and free-form ship sections are cutting-edge developments in level design. It really does feel like you've been left with an amazing burst of realization every time you hit the end wall. I might go as far as to say that this is the best pre-1.9 level in the entire game.
