It turns out the creator admitted it was made only for creator points. I moved the overall score down to 0 (before it was a 5). I’ll still keep what I wrote before down below, but it doesn’t accurately represent my thoughts currently.

Alright. Before I give my thoughts, I want to say something. This review is based on how good this plays as a tribute level, and not the creator’s intentions while creating this. I don’t exactly know this person, so I don’t want to make any assumptions based on evidence that may be groundless.

The decoration used in this level is quite flashy, which is an interesting choice - I’m not really sure how it ties into Michigan though. The creator most likely chose this to create a more “dramatic” style, to accompany the text that is shown on the screen. However, I’m not sure how I feel about the text. Especially when accompanied with the “dramatic” visuals, the message seems over-the-top, and therefore looses some of its meaning. To be honest, I feel like the level would feel better if it didn’t have the text at all, and instead highlighted more things about Michigan. The level’s main theme is around the triple spike, though it would be nice if the creator added other elements that are based on Michigan’s works. The gameplay is pretty good, but the visuals hinder it a lot. It consists of jumping over triple spikes (using a red orb to make it easier) and these invisible floating sections. I wish these floating sections were more sight readable though. The level also has a pretty nice end screen - if you turn on hitboxes, the level ends with an invisible triple spike. This is impossible to see otherwise, so I want to think that the creator added this detail because the creator cared, but it’s hard to tell the true intentions behind this level (and we are not going into that for reasons mentioned at the top).

Overall, as a tribute level, there is a lot of work that could be done to make it better. The visual style conflicts with the gameplay and falls short too. To be frank, I just wish that the level better showed the impart Michigan put on the community, even to this day.
