Kinda felt like rewriting this review as most of my opinions surrounding this level have changed.

Backbeat Revenge was the event after almost 3 months of Skeletal Shenanigans. I had extremely high expectations at first glance and especially with its mythic rating. Upon initially playing I thought “Wow, this sucks!” which is an understandable opinion but one I don’t hold anymore. My main problems were with the gameplay and the overall flashiness.

Looking back, the level is actually alright. Aside from a few bad transitions and unclear sections it is pretty fun to play through (but why does it end at 99.45%?). The decoration and effects are very impressive as well, easily some of the best from 2.2. I understand why some players would be turned off by such an epileptic level but Darwin updated Backbeat Revenge to add an epilepsy warning, thankfully. The visuals do harm the gameplay in some parts but it’s not on the level of garbage like Metamorphosis (and unlike that level, it actually runs well on my phone/laptop).
