They don't make levels like this anymore huh. This reminds me a lot of TMN's levels, especially their "Surge of" series where there are a ton of really cool setpieces that don't share many commonalities on the surface but instead have deeper connections underneath. It's almost dreamlike in nature, and I can definitely see a lot of that surreal disconnectedness present here in Cyber Planet. Like a level like Surge of Creations, not every setpiece lands but the ones that do really sell me on it, and I really love how these parts are able to still have an underlying motif of technology while still not being able to know what's going to come next. The gameplay here is also really great- it makes creative use of GD's sandbox and the end product is these pretty puzzling sections in a similar vein to KrmaL’s gameplay. My main complaint is that the shake trigger is really annoying here- it gets in the way a lot and I feel that the level would probably be a lot better with it toned down a lot more.
