With Peaks and Shrieks, Loltad was not afraid of taking risks. He was not scared of making something ridiculous, utilizing 2.0 objects such as the Deadlocked monsters, overall messy decoration, and very chaotic and fast-moving gameplay. Yet I can't help but love it. Loltad likely knew that this level wasn't going to be one that everyone would like. Yet despite that, people seem to love this level, which includes me. Despite the level being fast-paced and absolutely hectic, I found its sections to be incredibly fun and engaging, and I think that the level's gameplay is surprisingly its biggest strength. I surprisingly also liked this level's decoration. I know that many people won't like it since this level is reminiscent of early 2.0, but this level takes all the janky moving objects and sudden transitions out for a very smooth experience. Additionally, despite the decoration of this level being chaotic, with a lot of different clashing colors and moving parts, I feel it has a charm to it. Loltad definitely knows how to make something messy while making it simultaneously aesthetically pleasing. Not only that, the level also has a lot of little details you may notice if you watch a video of it. Some of them are genuinely kind of funny. You probably won't notice these details while you play this level, but I do appreciate the attention to detail. I think the theming and progression of this level is also pretty good, escaping this mountain full of deadly (really crazy looking) monsters. I also think that this level represents the "fast-paced" nature of the song, even if, on its own, it doesn't sound that good.

Overall, I really enjoyed this level; not only was it very fun to play, but it had some very creative theming and decoration, even if it's unconventional. I'm glad Rob liked it and gave it a legendary, and I can't wait to beat more of Loltad's levels (they're quite hard for me). Below is my completion video.
