some time in 2.0 i think this is the first level i ever decided 'this is my favorite level in the game.' it's not anymore, but still very very high, definitely my favorite 1.9 level behind death moon and killer hunting. it's still not been effectively reproduced (yes, hi beast slayer, i like you too but not this much), the rainbow effect and design and genuinely psychedelic passages, hiding machines, mental anguish, and death/purgatory. i dunno what the fuck it means but goddamn is it menacing

also genuinely really fun too, a rare accomplishment for serponge given that's always been his weakest skillset by some margin. though millepatte regularly outshines him here, which is quite something to say of my favorite creator
