the happiest level i've ever seen

using possibly the only great edm song of this nature of this time, hypno manages to make every single part in this level recognizable and fresh. from the symmetrical solo before the drop, to the volcano part that feels like one of those roller coaster levels, to the climactic dual part at the end, every part contributes to what i feel is the best level at representing an actual utopia

this level is obviously challenging, being an extreme demon, but it never feels frustrating or unfair. the gameplay aids the visuals perfectly, while also being incredibly fun to play. a feat which is hard to comeby in any era, but hypno does it here with what feels like such ease. once you get the quirkiness of the gameplay down, it's incredibly smooth sailing, especially for an extreme demon.

clarity is a simple level on the service, but the attention to detail here is on another level. everytime i rewatch i catch new details hypno added to represent the song that much more effectively, like the waves in the backgrounds or the volcanoes erupting to the vocals. there's so much love put into this level, and it feels like it capitalizes on every moment it can. the truest definition of a perfect level
