Rating Curve

I have a hard time telling if this was made in 2.0 or 2.1. Regardless, this level is good- if you like creators like TMN or a level like What Is It by Booglee you’ll probably love this a lot more than I do- it scratches a similar itch to stuff like that.

It's very strange seeing a level you used to love a lot, then forget about it, then rediscover it and sort of like it again. This level does a lot of things that I dislike but I really love the small, simple flourishes that spice things up- stuff like the non-default tile block designs, or the usage of pre-2.2 "particles" similar to 999 by dongchi. Say what you want about this level, but you can't deny that it stands out among others around its time.

Pretty good, although I think I'm starting to feel a bit fatigued on this genre of level specifically. I think there's still some more new cool stuff you can get out of it, but I think the song choices are what's holding things back- I think had all these song choices not sounded the same these levels wouldn't have melded so much together in my mind. It's very hard for me to distinguish this level from say, GGEZ by wetols.

I will say though despite this mixed review, I'm really glad we're getting a larger volume of design levels like this. These levels as a collective work really well similar to how TamaN's levels have, and while I don't think any of their students have become the master yet, I think it'll be interesting to see where this style goes. The mountain in regards to this is wspRocky, who is one of my favorite creators in this update so far, so I'm sure that the creators involved with this style will also begin cooking in the same way Rocky does and reach that summit as well.

it just works. largely in part due to the colorwork- the level pulses in complete lockstep with the song. also this was made in fucking 2015??? in a cave??? with a box of scraps???

* There is no strategy to defeat the enemy. Good luck!
