Absolute masterclass in song rep and atmosphere. There aren't many designs in this level that are super complex or stand out, but I think it works heavily in the level's favor, since it lets the atmosphere shine through. For example, the first part is entirely made up of pure black blocks and red spikes with the occasional small design, but it uses this simplicity to its advantage to capture a super far away and desolate feeling. The next part of the song brings in super ethereal sounding synths and the song becomes a lot more full, which is perfectly reflected in the deco. Some of the color choices in this level are super off the wall, but I think that works to make the level more memorable. At around 1:21, the level uses a color scheme of light blue and hot pink, which normally I would find offputting, but the level separates the two colors extremely well so that they work in unison rather than clashing with eachother.
As for the gameplay, I can't really comment on it since it is extremely difficult, but it is a memory level, which is a style of level I very much enjoy watching. I have no idea if it is enjoyable to play or not, but visually this level really blew me away. I was honestly not a huge fan of it on first watch, but it seems like every time I watch it I enjoy it more.
