dont know why i waited so long to review this. kidsmoke is one of the absolute best levels uploaded in the entirety of the 2.1 update. its that good. the atmosphere is so well done, through the simple but effective animations, the flashes, the gameplay even. combined with the banger that is dedrater by kingbastard, it all works to make a level that actually manages to intimidate you a bit which i think is quite hard for a gd level to accomplish. the level has a pretty straight forward narrative that it shows you without being too obvious or in your face about it. the two highlights of this level in my opinion are the wave at 37% that everyone talks about, with the confusing fading in and out and the demon taunting you in the background. such a simple but effective gameplay idea i love it, also the cube at 82% is such an intense part that is rarely mentioned: the leaves falling, the demon smiling, and the shadows covering up parts of the gameplay, it leads to the end of the level perfectly and might be my favourite part of the level overall. only reason i'm not giving this a 10 is that the gameplay, while it fits the level perfectly and i can totally justify it being what it is, isn't the most fun thing in the world to play. throughout the review i mentioned how a lot of the gameplay is obscured or hidden in some way, and while it works perfectly for a level like this, it can be frustrating when playing. still i personally think its consistent and fair once you sit down and learn it, not bad by any means. as a fan of radiohead, i totally recommend this. please play this awesome level.
