Rating Curve

one of the more interesting-themed "red and black" extremes, and to me the deco is far better than the gameplay. there's a lot of really cool details to be found everywhere; the gigantic background arteries in the first cube, the floating red blood cells in the mini cube after it, the giant heart in the ship's background, the rainbow blocks used to make veins/arteries in the robot...and probably way more that i've forgotten about or glossed over

sadly, the gameplay holds heartbeat back for me a lot. it's undeniably satisfying if you're able to pull it off consistently, but it is such a pain in the ass otherwise. i know the wave is iconic, but honestly i found it boring and a pain to practice after a while, especially with things like the 64% transition and it only being difficult at the end

i can see why people like this level so much but i personally can't see that. i think it's far from krmal's best deco or gameplay
