since i met you was the first level I ever watched from the notorius art creator skywalker14, and WOW does it still stand up in my eyes. Unlike the themes of many of their other levels, since i met you visually tells a story about "pure joy, peace, love, finding beauty in simple things and exploring the world" (according to skywalker's description), and I can't deny that at all. This level is just extremely happy all throughout it, and feels like a journey through another world thanks to skywalker's incredibly unique artstyle. I've always been extremely fond of skywalker's style, and it never disappoints no matter what theme they're aiming for.

since i met you has you travelling through a beautiful fantasy landscape, journeying through forests, flying through the air, adventuring through castles, relaxing at a beach, dancing at a ball, it has everything you could ask for in a level like this. If I had to describe it in a way that makes sense, it feels like you're traveling through a fairy tale in the imagination of a kid. Everything is super colorful and vibrant and is just mystical to the eyes. The song is also an extremely beautiful choice for a level like this, utilizing a NONG song by The Avalanches which just makes the atmosphere of this level hit SO much harder. It clocks in just under 2 and a half minutes and brings you through an extremely compelling world which you could only see in a skywalker level.

My favorite part would have to be the ballroom scene, which I assume many others would agree with it. The animated silhouettes dancing is an extremely nice touch and super well executed! It's not the most perfect animation, but I think that fits with the drawn out style that skywalker is known for. I also really like how skywalker uses emptyness to their advantage, even if they have complex backgrounds at times to fit the drawn art style, they like to keep the skies empty and let the landscape wrap itself around you and put you in it's world. It's an extremely touching and beautiful level which I absolutely love.

The gameplay is also super fun! It keeps you travelling throughout these sections without feeling too disconnected from what's going on, and helps keep you within this storybook land.

since i met you is an extremely pretty level in every way, and I can absolutely understand why it's their most liked. Even if it's not my personal favorite from skywalker (that would have to go to THE LIMIT) it is one of the best examples of skywalker's style and will always stay in my mind when I think of atmospheric and pretty levels. :D
