The best way I can describe this level is it feels artificial, and I don't think I can explain why without mentioning It Back by Hangyking first.

To keep it short, It Back is really cool! I think its main strength is it sacrifices polish to match the murky tones of the song as best it could. Additionally, the gameplay is really fun. SayItBack on the other hand feels like the complete antithesis of that design approach. It feels overproduced and unfun. There are an insane amount of transitions in this level which may work for an aftereffects edit, but in a Geometry Dash level it just doesn't work. Transitions are sucky to play through and when a level is entirely made up of transitions, you have a recipe for disaster. Additionally, the overproduced approach to the visuals feels completely artificial due to the song being made up of unusual and complex tones. Since It Back was released before this level, I couldn't help but associate the song with It Back and its approach to representing the tones of the song. As a result, SayItBack completely falls on its face.

When the level isn't putting you through a transition every second, the gameplay and visuals work a lot better which is why I'm giving this level a 3 instead of a 1.
