more like a 7.5. gameplay isn't great, but the level is easy enough where i didn't really mind going through it too much. i think the checkpoint gimmick could have been used a little better, its like the gameplay was just made as an afterthought. however, i still think this level has enough charm and personality that makes it worth going through it, the music choice is perfect too. so yea, not super fun, but still more interesting and entertaining than 99% of what the featured section offers. its also probably my favourite of all the space gauntlet entries. pretty cool!
