Rating Curve

For being the parent of the Nine Circles trend, this level still manages to stand its ground amongst the hundred different remakes and copies.

The gameplay manages to be fairly interesting throughout, especially the wave section. It certainly does a great job at representing the song. The pre-drop may feel a little underwhelming at first, but I think it serves as a very fitting buildup for the drop. The ending may just be my favorite part of the level, though. Having a fairly easy memory section that is very choke-able is definitely an interesting choice, but one that makes it feel all the more climactic.

The decoration might feel a bit basic at times, but with the limitations of the editor at the time, I feel like the level manages to capture a lot of the song's vibes very well.

Definitely deserves its title as one of the best 1.9 levels of all time. I'm sure many might disagree with me, but these are just my thoughts on the level.
