if i could describe this level in one word it would be "punchable"

I wasn't super close with Bridget, but I was a pretty avid defender of hers around the peak of anti-Bridget sentiment. The whole situation was enlightening to a younger me. It made me a lot more appreciative of GD as an art form, and more importantly, it made me realize that creators were indeed humans, which should seem obvious, but was evidently difficult for a lot of people. I even got a friend request from her after the fact. You could probably imagine how that felt.

This aforementioned humanity shone through in her work. I'd go so far as to say more evidently than a lot of her peers. In a time where creating styles were becoming colder, more calculating, more defined, Bridget was a very singular creator. You look at a Bridget level, you don't say it's glow, or design, or neodesign or what have you. She was in her own lane.

When the news broke, I didn't really know how to process it. It was so sudden, and without warning. I debated even writing about it. To see that someone so pivotal in my GD upbringing was just gone, like that, how do you even put that into words? Just know that you did a lot for me, even if you didn't know it.

As for the level, this is one of my favorite atmospheric levels in the game. The use of repetition and the resigned color scheme make it such a beautiful, bittersweet playing experience. Hope you can rest now.

Criminally overlooked masterpiece, one of the best early 2.1 levels by a wide margin. Pennutoh was light years ahead of everyone else. Mindblowing that designs as intricate as these were made in 2018, and that gameplay as responsive and creative as this was made in 2018. Probably one of the best aging levels ever made.

Feels like a love letter to the game it's centered around in a way that a lot of these levels based around games don't really capture. Also looks very pretty in its own right, which helps. Has a slight case of predropitis and some other awkward gameplay sections scattered around, but it shouldn't matter as much if you've beaten harder levels. Overall a very nice showing from Bram.

Hello. My name is Infra. You may have noticed I've eschewed the numbers at the end. They were reflective of a less critical, less intelligent version of myself. You see, since we last spoke, I have received a formal education. My favorite activities are scratching my chin and furrowing my brow, and my dislikes include puppies, ice cream, and your first kiss. I do say that this is one of the barmiest assemblies of objects ever assembled, even for the low, low standards of this quadrilateral entertainment. Truly reflective of the doomed state of our youth. But no more. I must go, to masturbate in melancholic solitude before my skull gives way to the pressure exerted by my rapidly expanding brain.

I'll give it eight points, because the octopus reminds me of my eight year old son, who is an esteemed marine biologist

Some of Change of Scene's wow factor has been lost due to technical creep in the following update, but it's still a cute, fun art level and probably Bli's last gasp of greatness.

Timeless masterpiece. I'll be here all day

While WHAT is more technically impressive, I think I'll always admire this one more for its elegant simplicity. If you can call it that

good stuff. excited for the 2nd level
