It's great to see qalli so confidently break the creative mould she's set for herself with her previous levels - Find The Answer is an incredibly unique, very ambitious level that makes use of some genuinely amazing gimmicks. The dual offset mechanic is front and center in many parts, being the first mainstream use of this gimmick in a level, and it works in the level's favour really well. It's both fun to watch and play, and it works surprisingly well with the more chaotic parts of the song that it's used with. Even in spite of this, though, every part's gameplay manages to maintain a pretty solid identity for itself, having some sort of defining characteristic that does wonders in making the level more memorable. Additionally, the deco is very consistent and cohesive, using tons of glitchy effects and unconventional structuring that match the song and gameplay excellently, and help tie everything together.

Unfortunately, I think this level's biggest downfall lies largely with said gimmicks. While almost all of the ideas behind this level are great, the execution often feels undercooked, rushed or just careless. The decoration is pretty good, but it really doesn't do anything with a lot of its more unique aspects (most notably the slanted wave sections). The same can be said for the gameplay to a lesser degree, it feels highly unpolished. The end result of all this is a level that feels stretched very thin, lacking in song representation and much substance beyond its gimmicks, and one that leaves me feeling pretty underwhelmed despite its very high highs.

With that said, qalli is a highly skilled creator that is very good at taking good core concepts and iterating on them until they are effectively free of major flaws, so I think that will come into play regarding Find The Answer too. I would personally give this level a feature, and I look forward to seeing where qalli takes her creativity going forward.
