This and An Expression are tied for TMN's best level IMO, this one being less cohesive but having better pacing. There's a lot of cool ideas that are chucked onto this level, only some of which land, but those that land really carry the level and make this experience better than the sum of its parts. Like with nearly all TMN levels, it obviously has to end right when the song gets good, so I can't reasonably put this higher than a 6- it still feels like it needs to be explored more.

This is fantastic in terms of execution (both in the visual and gameplay department) but I cannot get over its main theme of not taking itself too seriously. I'm not a fan of the nonchalantness of it all- it makes this very polished experience feel like a facade, or that this is being phoned in. I'm sure that's not the case, but I'm just not a fan of the apathy that I feel when watching this level, as if the level itself doesn't want me to care about it.

This is the one time I'll appreciate intentional bathos in a GD level- I do find it a bit funny that the gravitas of a collaboration like this produced a humble flappy bird level at the end of the day. I just kind of wish that everyone took it a bit more seriously however- there are a few parts where I think "really? That's the best you can do for a few tiles worth of decoration?". I feel it would've made the concept a lot better as a result.

Such a joyous level, and I’m so glad it was finally able to be released after so many years being in limbo. It reminds me of early 2010s era of YouTube for some reason, maybe due to how carefree and youthful it feels despite the fact it’s quite an aged level. It’s aged quite gracefully while still retaining that 2.0 “rawness” that a lot of people remember fondly. I’m surprised not many people have remembered this one today, I feel like this is the type of level a lot of people would love.
