[SPOILER WARNING: DON'T READ THIS REVIEW UNLESS IF YOU FINISHED THIS LEVEL]

Decay is easily one of my favorite platformer levels of all time, it shocks me on why it didn't receive mythic when i finished playing it. Anyways I'm not here to glaze this level nonstop, time for the review.

I'm gonna talk about the gameplay, decoration, the use of sfx and songs, and the story since this level has one.

Gameplay on this is amazing, it adds challenges on parts that are easy but alot of those parts uses patience especially the golem part which makes me feel "dang he travelled such a long way" which is one thing i really like about story type levels or even games in general.

Decoration on this is perfect, it looks like an actual game with how good it executes the pixel art on this. My one complaint about it is that it's really unoptimized so it's impossible to play on full detail, but despite that i still liked the level on low detail.

The use of sfx and songs on this is perfect. It's not too "obnoxious" and it really fits on this level alot, i could pretty much say the same on the songs.

The story on this level actually almost made me cry, that ending was just too beautiful. The way that the mc loses hope because the witch was dead, and him being reborn as the butterfly which was showed earlier is really good use of foreshadowing and progression to the story. The wizard story is also amazing, the wizard and his son running away to the swamp because of something that the wizard did, and the optional side story to the mother itself makes the end of the wizard act so good. It's something a few levels fail to accomplish which this level executes well.

Yeah this is a easy Strong 9 to a 10 for me
