This checks basically all the boxes for what I want to see in a progressive level. My main issues lie on the visuals which look a bit plain at times (for example the starry background during one of the fast cube parts, which I wish had more layers of depth and didn't look so evenly distributed) although most of it is just nitpicks. Structurally it's really interesting though; there are some very original ideas present like using saws as block designs or the dual cube travelling offscreen during some of the dash orbs.

The progression is really awesome, some of the creative decisions like the sun getting bigger and closer at the start really help the level maintain a sense of cohesion and tell the player what's the next step forward. Love how faster the level keeps getting as well, in sync with the song (which, I have to say, is a bop).

At times some stylistic choices bug me out a little. I wish the flashes during the fast parts were a little smoother (although I'm good with them being there as they help tie the level thematically). But overall, I like this a lot. Very underrated.

unfortunately it's goated
