There's many good gameplay ideas in this level, but it feels like it's still not enough. The first part of the level is perfectly fine, but then the entire section from 8% to 36% feels repetitive. The gameplay feels very similar for 7 minutes straight, and I appreciate the gameplay elements that do change, like the rotated squares that start appearing at 21%, but I would've really liked it if there was more variation. The part from 36% to 45% is different enough to the previous one because of the ground, but it still has similar gameplay ideas. The same thing is true for the part from 46% to 58%, the biggest difference is that it's at 4 speed, but nothing much else. Even tho there isn't much variation, I have to say that the gameplay is good here. The deco is pretty good too, it's not very interesting since it's basically just the same effects with slight variation, but it works well for this level. Now, the part from 58% to 66% is my favorite in the entire level. It has similar ideas to the first part, but I think it's much better. The gameplay is very simple but it's just perfect, it matches the song really well. I don't like a lot the level becoming glitchy tho, specially since after 66% the level just becomes an auto for a while. I would've like it more if maybe some of the deco became glitchy while the gameplay continued normally, but it's ok.
If there is one thing that I was expecting for this level to do at 71%, it was for there to be a cube section where you do absolutely nothing with little to no deco on a dark background. To my surpise, this was mostly what happened, except for the fact that there's a very noticeable effect in the background which I think kinda ruins this part. The way this part progresses is insanely good, better than any other for sure. It was really nice to see that the gameplay style finally changed. The cube section with just jumps and jumping orbs is fantastic, I wasn't expecting it and it was a really good surprise. The wavy background that appears later is also great, it's definitely the best background in the entire level. This entire part in general is incredible, it brings so much to the level after a lot of repetitiveness. It would be my favorite part if it wasn't for the effect at the begginning. The rest of the level, specially the part from 77% to 88%, is honestly not very good. It feels like it lacks purpose, both in gameplay and deco. The gameplay once again has the same style as it had before, which is very disappointing, and the deco is just really off, I don't really understand it. I don't think it matches the song at all.
Even tho there's a lot of things that I didn't like about this level, I still enjoyed it. I'm between giving this a 6/10 or a 7/10, but I'll go with a 7/10.
