I'm really liking Kira as a creator, but I don't think this hits as strong for me as WANNACRY despite this technically being "more impressive" than that. Feels a lot more overstimulating without really offering much substance, the predrop is probably the strongest part of this because of that. The first part of the drop just feels very unnecessary if I'm being honest; it's alright to play and isn't horrible but I don't really understand why it's there. The ending cutscene is very pretty but the cutoff of the song to get there feels quite jarring.

About the song, I don't really like the use of Exit this Earths Atomosphere here, since this song has already been used a lot in the past. Very little creative opportunity is left by choosing this, so I wish Kira had just went with a fresh song nobody had used before like they had with WANNACRY.

The theme the level's going for is really neat with the "emulation", and I actually do like the part where it switches between all of the different space gauntlet entries since I feel like it gives new life to entries that didn't place. I heavily studied the space gauntlet entries so this was a nice surprise for me. While it isn't the most original thing Kira could have done for this part, it still I suppose got the job done. The other parts somewhat lose this theme a little though, prioritizing crazy effects to both its benefit and downfall.

Gameplay is whatever. I fluked the drop and the predrop was alright to play.

Overall still a decent level, just a bit confused in what it wants to be.
