I'd prefer if it felt more grounded

Easily one of Serponge's most cohesive levels, which is a flaw a good portion of his older 2.0 non-minigame levels suffer from

I feel like if another level used this song it could succeed just as well as if Esencia never existed. That's not to say this level is worthless; I appreciate the experimentation with the (admittedly very underbaked) pseudo-1.0 style that was trending around 2018-2019 while using a song this geared towards intensity and speed. However the techniques that the modern-day creating scene has mastered were clearly not present when Esencia was made, as the whole level feels underwhelming in comparison to the song. Similarly, the structuring and the really poor use of glow makes it look pretty ugly :(
