Look, the level in isolation is great. The gameplay works for it's difficulty and the visuals are absolutely STUNNING. Like, holy hell, this might be the best 1.9 level by pure deco in the entire game, it's just beautiful. However, by just those metrics, the level should still, at the very most, land like an 8/10 for me. So why is it a 10?

Some of you may not remember this, but during the stream npesta did the night that 2.2 dropped, this is one of the first levels he played to test the new physics. I remember seeing the video come out and immediately going to play the level myself because I was so blown away by the visuals. As such, my brain has now permanently connected this level with the memories of when 2.2 first came out which, without exaggeration, was quite possibly the happiest time of my entire life. I know it sounds pretty stupid, but man this game means so much to me and I, like most of you, had been waiting for this update for 7 years. Now, this level serves as my own little time capsule, a small odyssey to embark on whenever I want to relive the time that my friends and I became 12 years old again.
