No bias at all for having playtested this level.

This level is a mixed bag. The gameplay is pure hit or miss; sometimes it can be incredibly fun and sometimes it can be very janky, with unfair chokepoints and the 2P asymmetrical dual. The deco is simple, unpolished and raw, which serves up to some wicked effects and cool ideas overall. The story can be a bit corny if you dont know the full context, but either way the way the storytelling is executed, especially towards the end, is pretty original. Song choice is great too.

SayItBack is a level made by X1RON a few months before 2.2 dropped that really started the trend of typography levels.

I saw a preview by the creators about half a year before the level’s release and I thought it was really impressive back then, but now I dont think it lives up as such. I get people making an argument that the level hasnt aged a bit, but there’s been an overexploitation of typography-type levels ever since its release, especially after 2.2’s release. Not only some of these levels are unapologetically horrible to play but also they showed up flaws SayItBack had in the first place, both gameplay and visual-wise. So, in conclusion, very good level for its time ruined by its foreword reputation between the creative side of the community.

Space I Guess is an entry for the Space Gauntlet Constest thats about to end in like 5 days or. It covers a very interesting space related theme, which is the concept of the universe having a shape and its appearance. This level is very intimidating when you think about the message it gives. Space is huge and although were figuring it out little by little, everything else is just sheer imagination. The theme is complimented by a lot of imaginative visuals with clean transitions, great designs overall, fantastic representation of what the creator is trying to show us and more. There's a part where a wall of colorful glow and statues of what it seems, greek phylosofical figures, show up, and its pretty reminiscent of Jayuff's works, which might be unintentional but its a great way to describe it. This level is just pure mastery of the editor, every single idea is executed in a way an actual space documentary could have added this level on and it would not maje a difference.
