SoDaZ has managed to carve out quite a niche for themself within the very renowned, tried-and-true Hinds/Shocksidian style that's developed over the last 8 or so years. Maverick is by far their best showing in this regard, building on nearly everything the style has to offer as well as their own previous levels into a very interesting fusion blend of many different inspirations that I really love. The block/ground designs and colours remind me most of the traditional Hinds/Shocksidian levels, with simpler designs comprised mostly of pre-2.0 default blocks, and very saturated, well-synced andd cohesive pulse work throughout, which in my opinion is most apparent during the UFO about 25 seconds in. However, where I feel this level shines most are in the elements that make it more of a SoDaZ level - the effects, backgrounds and air decoration are all stellar and really compliment the strengths of the rest of the deco. The background work is quite subtle but adds a layer of depth to the level often missing from more classic ones, and the effects are simple but help uplift the otherwise static parts of the level.

My biggest (and only) complaint is the level's lack of cohesion in the second half. Here it feels like SoDaZ began sort of throwing things together at random, with the most intense part visually not coming at the most intense section of the song, some very odd colour choices in the last 20%, and the designs starting to fall flat a bit, leaving the level feeling lacking in this regard. However, despite this, it's still pretty decent overall, and even more impressively manages to remain extremely fun and consistent to play.

The creativity shown through most aspects of this level is very, very impressive considering the rough stylistic template it uses, and it really cements SoDaZ as a master of his style. I'd give this level epic, and really hope to see more from SoDaZ going forward.
