Rating Curve

Probably in the minority of people that think that the level does absolutely deserve its legendary rating, if level's context is being taken into account that is. The four levels and the video that comes along with these tap into my childlike curiosity, the same kind of curiosity that made me watch countless GTA San Andreas myths and secrets videos many many years ago. I didn't really think for a second that they are real, but I really appreciated the thought and effort people put into convincing 'ternets strangers that those are the bigfoot footprints, this wheelchair on the dock is haunted and that there's Spronk radiation poisoning conspiracy in the town (although this one is absolutely 100% real). It may not be believable, but it is a fun way of expressing your appreciation for the game.

I think legendary is a fitting rating for the entire project as a whole, Colon and other creators put a lot of effort into making it very entertaining to watch, although I do think the charm wears off if you play these levels on your own. They are pretty basic with a lil' bit of world building and comedy sprinkled throughout. Of all four levels in this april fools project, Colon's version of The Sneaky Hollow offers a more interesting spin on the original plus it's both a finale and the punchline of the entire thing. The Rattledash bossfight didn't land for me as a joke, but it is pretty fun to play and I really like the custom battle theme that comes along with it (yes i like touhou, how could you possibly tell).

despite all the flashy flashes, it is pretty fun and intuitive to play

Do not let the rating fool you, the level has a very special place in my heart

In the level I'm credited as a playtester, but in the original youtube upload on Rawin's channel I am also credited for providing several of my dreams for the level. Yes, at a certain point Rawin went around asking his friends about any cool dreams that they remember so I gave Rawin a short list of 20+ stress induced dreams and nightmares (mostly nightmares) and elaborated on select few in great detail. So here are some of my dreams that made the cut:

33-36%: lead pipe labyrinth located inside of a giant aircraft

37-38%: a towering purple giant who singled me out

48-61%?: a crying videogame cave

62-70%: futuristic mall with a secret rusted butcher shop in its walls (the butchery didn't make it in)

somewhere in 62-70%: there's a secret under the level of a van with free Creator Points, which was inspired by a rare geometry dash dream of mine in which kids were kidnapped when they took a secret way route in some random 1.0 looking level

79-83%: honestly one of the coolest dreams I had which I dubbed "the red horizon". to put in shortly, there exists a certain alternate reality space which is a few meters above the ground and exactly one storey tall. most people couldn't see it, but some could. the space manifested itself as an extension of already existing structures e.g. if it's a 6 meter tall tree, the horizon extends the tree to 8 meters, if it's a 10 storey high building the horizon would add an extra floor between floors 2 and 3 and people could live in this space and etc. the extension was visibly dustinct from the real world as it was indicated via red tint. in the dream I met some nice occult grandma and we had a fine conversation

It's honestly really cool to me that a good number of my dreams were manifested through geometry dash in such a fun and unique way, Rawin is my goat and wherever he is, I really hope he's doing well.
