Rating Curve

Genuinely one of the cringiest, most embarrassing levels in the game, near the same tier as boogie. It would somewhat offend me if this makes it in the top 10, somewhat because nearly all the other entries have the same boring VFX dynamics as one another, and it gets to a point where I'm too fatigued to care at all. Did I mention I'm not particularly fond of a lot of space gauntlet entries?

From what I can gather, the gauntlet contests seem to be based on how flashy, audacious, and overbearing the level is. The judges must have a severe case of arrested development if I correctly expect them to be amazed by such obnoxious 2020 VFX demo reels such as this. So many levels of this caliber rub me in such a wrong way, "bro-core" is what I call it. It's the same aesthetic seen in YouTube shorts, and groomer video essays with annoying subtitles that sync up with everything the narrator is saying. Why do people still think this looks good? The reason this pisses me off so much is because I have a very strong belief that we are beyond this. People should be capable of creating good, memorable levels that don't fall under this many layers of oversaturation.
