An azimuth is defined as the direction of a celestial object from the observer, expressed as the angular distance between the north or south point of the horizon. A strange definition, sure, but it ties in with the main symbol of the level, that being a compass. I think that's the only consistent theming there is, everything else is kinda just "mystical mysterious whatever". It works, though, so I can't really complain.

I was surprised to find this level placed at a 6.8 overall, because I quite like it. Sure, Knots's late 2.1 levels kind of all blend together (aside from Rectangle, I might get to that later), but I think each one is special in its own way. Azimuth in particular I believe excels at song representation. Or maybe I just like the song way too much. Either way, each part flows seamlessly with the song in a way that really sort of ties everything together, despite the general "whatever works" nature of the level. The visuals aren't perfect - some areas are kinda messy or weird, some visual bugs occur, the big block compass was funny for a few months before no one gave a shit anymore. But technically speaking, it's still excellent.

The gameplay is... there. It's incredibly boring in the first half, though it does improve slightly in the latter half. The gameplay isn't particularly good, it isn't particularly bad, it just exists to be as inoffensive as possible. I can't exactly talk about the gameplay if it basically doesn't exist.

This would probably pass as a three star if you pestered Rob enough idk
