This level was simply too grand for its own good. The purpose of this level was to make THE single perfect level, gathering notable gameplay creators and notable decorators to make an amalgamation of unbelievable parts. While this was clearly not the end result, I can say it led the groundwork to many levels that used an identical creation scheme; such as Night Rider, LIMBO, and Reanimate. So, what went wrong here?

In my mind, the hosting just wasn't perfect. Many talented creators were gathered, but they all had such different styles and ideas, so trying to wrap an entire 5 minute package in a vague "space theme" was not going to be as cohesive as they might have expected. Honestly a handful of parts still hold up very well, especially Zafkiel and Ji, both even with some great parts, the level altogether looks like a mess with no clear direction. Wrap in the fact that this level took years to be completed, with many delays and creators dropping the level (back in the day, collabs never took so long), and you have an incredibly ambitious project that lost its sense of direction and went in so many different ways.

Despite all this, I still adore this level. It uses Exit This Earth's Atomosphere quite fittingly and it looks incredibly unique. On top of that, I firmly believe that in order for megacollabs to become as polished as they are now, some level had to be the test dummy. Ocular Miracle is that level, and I feel that because of it, people became a lot better in understanding how to host collabs and avoid mistakes.
