Rating Curve

Not a fan of the epilepsy fest that the level takes on some of the transitions but also in the context of the gauntlet this is a HUGE step up from the previous level. Very clean looking and with a lot of depth too, just wish the song representation was stronger in some parts.

Hate to rate it this low but I genuinely don't find this style any appealing at all. Realistic styled levels tend to look very impressive when they're fresh but give it a few years and they all look extremely ugly for the most part.

This level is no exception. Everything after the first 3 parts is just a mess of objects with no depth or cleanness whatsoever. I find it really unfun to play as well, with lots of ugly deaths and very weird player movements. I do like the second and third parts quite a bit because they look a lot more clean and execute the theme with a lot more personality, however they're still lacking that depth that would make a level like this stand out for me. (For example the particles in the third part move like a big chunk rather than freely).

Overall it's just another themed traditional megacollab that has aged pretty badly in my opinion. I really wish it wasn't so because this city-like Vietnamese vibe had potential to be so much more good-looking.

I was digging the minimalistic designs at the start but I feel that it got worse both visually and gameplay wise as it progressed. The latter parts just don't catch my attention as much as the start which felt very clean and organic.
