katalysm if you ever read this im sorry in advance

i do not like this level, i can almost say nothing positive about this level at all besides maybe the gameplay is fine. the entire level conceptually is an abyss ripoff, and takes a great level and makes it pretty awful. katalysm is great at doing this, every non-touhou level of theirs is just a blatant ripoff of another level and it actually pisses me off. like make something original for once please

like i said earlier, the gameplay is fine. the checkpoints are incredibly unbalanced but that like never really matters in a level if you're not going in blind. the last 2 checkpoints are by far the hardest, with everything before it being actual medium demon difficulty. it has bullshit corner jumps and in-betweens, which make for chokepointy gameplay when they're all scattered out. also, i have no idea how this is extreme demon, at all. and how it isn't unanimously considered the easiest. it isn't even a needle skillset thing, there are needle insane pemons that are legit just way harder than this level. it took me less than 11 minutes to beat this level in normal mode and i didn't even practice that well.

deco wise, even if it wasnt an abyss ripoff, it still looks ugly as hell. the first part uses pixel blocks in a very not good way, and the ending cave looks so basic it's like it was made the first day of 2.2. the only kinda redeemable part deco wise is the under water temple thing, but it still looks like it was made over a year ago

idk why this level is rated, and why it's still extreme

hate this level
