Dazzlingly stylish and excitingly experimental, "Messier 45" is a phenomenal level that's almost as spectacular and sparkling as the cluster of stars from which it derives its name. Blissfully bathed in neon and sublimely showered in starlight, I personally think it might barely be able to claim the title as Jayuff's best level. It's a wonderfully vibrant and varied audiovisual odyssey, dragging you from glowing palm trees, to crashing, colorful waves, to a dual segment vaguely reminiscent of the retro TV aesthetic briefly touched upon in Jayuff's later "Special FX", as well as the sprawling megalopolis (either at day or at night depending on if you're daring enough to attempt one of the level's diabolical coin routes). The diverse and lively manner by which it is structured almost makes "Messier" feel like a sort-of prequel to "Special FX".

"Messier 45" is an exceptionally clean and well-made level that's heavily supplemented by an incredibly groovy song ('Mountain Light' is an amazing song regardless of the fact that it's technically a WIP); I don't know how he does it, but Jayuff's always been able to curate the best songs for his levels. It's really fun to play and the coin routes in "Messier 45" are as devilishly evil and convoluted as they are creative.
