So yeah. Washed tartarus jumper versus one of the greatest levels ever made. Who will win? Me apparently, even though I've never touched anything this long and I am notoriously awful at easier gameplay.
When I first watched this level, I immediately knew it was one of the best things I'd ever seen, but I didn't consider beating it. Being in the midst of my Tartarus grind and focusing everything I had on beating that as soon as I could, I didn't really consider doing anything else, let alone something so outside my skillset. It might sound crazy coming from someone who's beaten extremes that Commatose intimidated me, but I really mean it. I am so bewilderingly bad at easy gameplay that this level was actually incredibly frustrating. Despite praising this level as one of the all-time greatest, generally, I strongly dislike levels of its length. I consistently find that the trade-off of long levels having easier gameplay than shorter levels, which is necessary to make sure the level is actually beatable, means that the gameplay is not only unengaging because of its simplicity, but unavoidably infuriating. It sucks to die to clicks and timings that are beneath your skill level as a player, and in a level that's 9 minutes long, you will be exclusively dying to nothing but that type of timing. I knew this going in, but it wasn't at the forefront of my mind, and I really wanted to give Commatose a chance. I wanted to justify my placement of this as my sixth favorite level of all time, and so began my three days of Commatose. So much anger, yet so much love. Never have I directed such rage towards something that, deep down, I had no hatred for---nothing but adoration, in fact. Eventually, I figured out many of the gameplay quirks that were holding this level down for me, the biggest one being the ending dash orbs. This level, despite taking less than 1k, took more patience than I have had for something in a while.
