Probably the only time I'll have to be skipping coins on an event level. They're very cool on principle, I just don't want to have my playthrough of the level to be longer, for a level that is already almost six minutes long.

I've seen plenty of levels that try to utilize Space Invaders in some way, either only half the song or to its fullest, and while I'm sure the wow-factor might've worn off a bit for me for that, this might be the best representation I've seen with it. I really appreciate the amount of charm and energy put into this one, and Subwoofer really went all out on this compared to his previous "story" levels, which I like decently enough. I still probably stand by my complaint on the level being too long for an event level and I'd really thought I'd be stuck playing it for a while, but after already learning the level, it's VERY straight-forward and doable if you're just good enough with nerve-control (which I'm not very tbh). I'm thankful that I did manage to fluke the second half.

Much like his previous levels like this, it does suffer from the niche problem of some obstacles being hard to tell if they're a hitbox or not, and some of the later parts have moments that felt too chokeable for a level with this length. The amount of stuff happening on the screen can also be a little distracting, especially for how corny some of the animations are and the color palette making everything kinda blend together. But that's usual complaints to have at a critical view as it's clearly a level that tries to do a lot to win me over, but doesn't do it in a strong or innovative way that levels like Change of Scene or Sky Tower did. Still you have to really appreciate all the work Subwoofer put into this level, as I think it works well as a passion project than a legit level, but still has enough quality to keep it that way. Not one of my favorites, but you can call it a masterpiece if you want.
