Press Start is the first level of Geometry Dash SubZero, and by far the best level of this spinoff imo.

The first 15% of your level is your standard RobTop cube part. I like how the effects in this part sync with the riffs in the song. At 15%, you get introduced to the skull which will be a motif throughout this level. Suddenly the camera zooms out and you are thrown into the drop, showing the first of many 2.2 features in this spinoff.

The first drop is pretty uneventful aside from the zoomed out camera. The deco is reminiscent of Meltdown with a few new effects. Then at 38% you get a slow buildup section before the second drop at 50%. I like how the skull slowly rises out of the ground and then speaks “OH DAMN” to the song.

Then at 53% you get what is easily the most iconic part of SubZero - the Skull bossfight. This boss would inspire iconic levels like CraZy and more. In particular, I really like the 63% ship with all the slope gameplay.

Then at 71% you get the first “2.2 hijinks” part in GD history - you get thrown into a room where you platform back and forth repeatedly instead of autoscrolling. The coin here needs more indication but is very cool imo.

Then at 80% you get the second phase of the skull boss where it continues to chase you and starts spitting lasers at you - this part seems a bit uninspired as many 2.1 bossfights did the same thing previously.

Overall, this is definitely the best bossfight level RobTop has ever made (not like there’s much competition) and the highlight of SubZero imo.
