I don't think its fair to rank this level on something like this site, since Death is not made for the same purpose most levels featured on this site are made for. Death is meant to exist on its own; to be seen in the context of loss, grief, and perseverance.

Simply viewing a video of this level does not do this level justice, but I can't really speak on that myself, as I have not played this level from zero. I want to, since I know actually playing Death is what helps you really understand its purpose and how it connects to larger concepts and themes, but I think it's just too far out of my skill range unfortunately. This is not a negative aspect of the level though, since Death should not be easy to overcome. This level is intimidating and doesn't look "conventional" simply because death is not intentionally meant to be enjoyable or pretty too. Death exists as death, and I feel this level conveys that harshness of life in a way that not many other Geometry Dash levels have even attempted to try. The topics Death tries to communicate are very difficult to put into a Geometry Dash level without them seeming either unserious or thoughtless. Often levels will try to plant stories and themes by just directly telling the user, but all this level needs to do is have its title simply be "Death".

We can compare this to the personal aspects we use to judge levels in this game, but this level was very much not made to deal with those. This feels almost disrespectful to do because of that, so I feel guilty trying to do that in the past.

Overall, I cannot critique how the level approaches the concept of death, since I don't have the full experience and not enough levels similar to it exist.
