Acu is so damn clean and polished, it gives off the vibes of like a soapy bath or smth. Fun level!

The gp in the final checkpoint may be the worst experience ive ever had in any game ive ever played, especially the ball part at the beginning of the checkpoint. The rest of the gp is generally subpar, but it might as well be the best gp ever made when u compare it to the final checkpoint. Deco isnt awful but it definitely wasnt in the front of the creators mind when this was being made. Considering that the gp is worse, the entire level feels like the creator wasnt thinking when they made it.

the structuring and creativity for its time is iconic and the gameplay is oddly fun somehow???

gold standard for gameplay and balancing imo, great deco at the same time as well

the gameplay was trying to do something cool

Phobos has always been one of the weirdest levels for me because I absolutely love it decoration wise, but despise it Gameplay wise.

Ive always loved the idea of the "level mix" theme, aka letting creators do whatever they want, regardless of a theme. Not a lot of collabs go for this approach, and even though the deco isnt absolutely amazing, considering how few levels in this niche exist, I think Phobos is one of the best levels in that category. If people could (or even wanted to) create an authentic 1.9/2.0 styled levels with no theme like this, im sure levels much better than Phobos could come out. But nobody has, so Phobos remains one of my most favorite levels in this department. I know people complain about Caernarvons part all the time, but a lot of other parts in the level feel perfect, and a couple bad parts shouldnt be enough to look past that.

Gameplay is trash I have 96 fuck this stupid ass level
